Guess the Movie from the Quote

"There's a cross on the muzzle of the pistol with the bullet and a nick on the handle of the pistol with the blank."

Never Say Die (Bob Hope Movie)
I read some interesting things about Preston Sturgess. His mother gave Isadora Duncan the scarf that was the cause of her death and he invented a "kiss-proof lipstick" and vibrationless diesel engine. How about that?

Raggedy,

Yes to Never say die.

Its where they must have got the idea from for the Danny Kaye Court Jester phrase " The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true! "

Thats interesting about Preston Sturges, have you ever noticed how some people have so much talent. I was reading about Bert Fields at the weekend and apart from being the world's best known litigator he has also written several books both fiction and non fiction, one about Shakespeare.

It makes one feel sort of humble.

I think a book about Bert Fields would be fascinating.

"Ever hear of the word humility? No, you wouldn't. I guess it would never occur to you to just say, 'Pease mister, I'm in trouble, will you help me?'"

It happened one night ? ( I'm sure I remember it)

Absolutely. It Happened One Night is correct.

" I told my mother you weren't the one who gave me the films. That it wasn't your fault. But I thought you said the film could catch fire just to scare me. "

(for future reference, are we aloud to use the net for these?)

daf daf, Its Silent Bob in Clerks .

Is'nt there a " dude " in there somewhere after worold and before but ?

I think we all use the net or we would be here forever.

we usually acknowledge if the guess is correct before proceeding to the next perosn, can you let me know if i'm right please ?

I can't find my CD of Clerks to tell you if the 'dude' is right, but that's certainly the film the quote is from

I thought it was from Jay though

" There are better things. You see the importance of the "moment". Ten minutes early or late, he'd have seen death. He'd have suffered it. This way, he already departed. Without knowing. "

One of my favourite films of all time: Leon

Thats why I did it, nice one-Jean Reno is great isn't he ?

He's superb, and Leon is certainly his masterpiece. Although he did a mean job of Ronin, but didn't quite save it from mediocre action.

Right, let's try this one for size:
"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need...roads."

Back to the future

I enjoyed Ronin, thought it was quite good, I'd certainly watch it again.

I think it is a case of a film having everything it needs to become a classic, but falls short. In my mind that's worse than a mediocre one.

yes BTTF, your turn.
