The Thing?
No, one more clue and surely you'll get it this time..."We've gone on holiday by mistake!"
During the 90s people were constantly saying to me: "You must have seen Withnail?" "No," I'd reply, "...what's Withnail?" "My God! Adrian, if ever there was a movie made specifically for your sense of humour...it's Withnail and I!"I must have had that conversation half a dozen times before finally, in about 2000 or so, someone lent me the VHS. So, in a fever of anticipation, I sat down to watch it...and didn't crack a smile. Just terrible.
But the film kept drifting back into my thoughts over the next few weeks, so I decided to give it another run. The second time I roared with laughter all the way through. It's as though my brain had to be recalibrated to a new style of comedy and once that process was complete I was able to find Withnail both incredibly funny and profoundly sad.
Extraordinary film.
"How many of them hormones you takin', honey?"
I am going to start bringing some of the unsolved forward. May take me a few days and I may miss some or bring some that are solved already, but here goes.Message 323
"You didn't mean what you just said, did you?"
"When?"
"Just right now, when you were talking about bringing a child into the world, and having it be an act of cruelty."
"I meant it at the time."
"Stanley, "at the time"? You said it seven and a half seconds ago!"
Message 321"There I was in prison, and one day I helped some nice older gentlemen make some free telephone calls. They turned out to be... let us say, good family men."
"Organized crime?"
"Ha, don't kid yourself. It's not that organized."
Message 320"Have I raped you?"
"The night is young."
Message 297 "Anybody who uses computers doesn't know a damn thing about this game."
Message 284 from Philip"You could be happy here, I could take care of you. I wouldn't let anybody hurt you. We could grow up together"
Message 272"I'm a machine. I never thought that was bad, until I saw your face when you found out I was."
Message 271"I went to empty the garbage and two people blessed me. And then one of them blessed the garbage."
Message 259 from Papaphilly. I don't think this was ever solved."Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy."
Message 245 from Marie“Going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
Message 226 from Philip"Who do you have to screw around here to get a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit?"
A reminder -Here are the rules for the game.
1. Post a great movie line that you remember.
2. Just the movie line. Don't identify the movie.
3. Let someone else in a subsequent post try to identify the movie.
4. Try not to use Google. This is a memory game.

Lizzie will likely come back to confirm that, but I am sure that is correct. It's probably one of the most well known lines in the movies.
Message 225 from Philip. I don't think this was solved."Let me ask you one thing. Do you think – after we’ve dried off, after we’ve spent lots more time together – you might agree not to marry me? And do you think not being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life?"
Message 224 from Philip"I'm down at the garage working 14 hours a day, and she's up here munching on bonbons and tramping around like some goddamn floozy!"
Message 223 from Philip"Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat… college."
Message 214 from D. Thrush"You are not the contents of your wallet."
Message 211 "This is my body! I'm not sharing my body with anyone!"
Raymond wrote: "Message 211 "This is my body! I'm not sharing my body with anyone!""
That has to be All of Me

That's correct. Watched it again recently. The sidewalk scene with Steve Martin is still a really good laugh.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain..."
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
"This is for all you new people. I have only one rule. Everybody fights, no one quits. If you don't do your job, I'll kill you myself"
Papaphilly wrote: ""Get away from her, you bitch!""Aliens. Another famous line.

Gotta type fast when J.'s around. That man knows his movies. Waiting to hear if he's right about those other ones. Some great quotes there.

Now that is impressive. Personally I love that line.
