Oh, I know - it's that one movie with thingie... you know, the guy who was in that one with the girl who married the chap that was originally going to star in that bio-pic... you know...

MIB

Treasure of the Sierra Madre; not sure who said it.

Corecta mundo Big RR...

It was Walter Huston...

Here he is doing The Walter Huston Dance:

OK, I guess it's my turn: "That'll be the day." Hint: it's not The Buddy Holly Story

2) Theatrical movies only; let's leave TV out of this for now.

Too generic, could come from most any film.

Maybe, but this was a major tag line from the movie. And it was a fairly well known, and acclaimed, movie.

But to give a hint, wes was right, it was John Wayne who said it.

true grit? ...or the sequel, rooster cogburn?

Nope.

One more hint: Buddy Holly supposedly based the song on this movie line; he wrote it right after he saw the movie 9although it has nothing to do with the plot).

darn.

I could name off john wayne movies and hope to hit it, but that wouldn t be sporting....

I thought for sure that it was a cogburn quote.....

I was all set to take my turn. boo hoo

I m thinking of the one where he had to go find his kidnapped young son, with his other sons and his indian buddy, but I can t remember the title, so I can t do anything but assist.....

Is that someone who likes butts or doesn't like butts? The world has gotten more complicated.

"The Shootist"?

bridge over the river kwai (sp) ?

"The Searchers"?

Give that man a cee-gar. The Searchers it was. the quote occurred numerous times throughout the movie, and was even used on the posters. I guess it was something that stuck with me more than with a lot of the others here who saw the movie.

FWIW, AFI called it the best western movie ever and placed it 14th on the best movies of all time; many other groups have similarly lauded the movie. I'm not a big John Wayne fan, but this movie is something special and well worth the watch.

Name that movie:

"When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book."

I thought it was "Genghis Khan."

Who can ever forget?
