Name That Movie!

Why, 'at's wrong again...

And it's also not:

You're just not on the right frequency...

• You're just not on the right frequency...

...or the right medication...

...or the right health plan...

Okay, this is a dead give-away, but it's one of of my all-time favorite western film quotes:

What's wrong with you?

What is wrong with me? What have you got? I am dying of tuberculosis. I sleep with the nastiest whore in Kansas. Everyone who knows me hates me, and every morning I wake up surprised that I have to spend another day in this piss-hole world.

[RayThom]

All right, I'll try one more.



One of the all-time best westerns ever made.

One of the all-time best westerns ever made.

Yes it is...

Ranks up there with The Magnificent Seven...

But did William Holden sleep with the nastiest whore in Kansas?

I think not...

("Gunfight at the O.K. Corral")

I haven't seen any of these, but I've heard of 'em. 50/50 choice on 2 I'm thinking of.

Personally, I think Tombstone was a marginally better film then Wyatt Earp, (Especially the first hour and a half while Kevin Costner plays a wildly implausible Young Wyatt Earp...you can just take that part of the movie out and burn it) but I also think Dennis Quaid was a much better Doc Holiday than Val Kilmer...

Kilmer was okay in the role, but just too much of a "pretty boy" to really capture the intensity of Doc, and just not believable as someone dealing with a serious illness... (Quaid lost 40 pounds to give his portrayal it's gaunt, frail authenticity)




And while Kilmer had a few good lines ("I'm your Huckleberry") the dialog written for Quaid's Doc Holiday in Wyatt Earp was overall far superior....

[Crackpot]

I said Earp a long time ago.

At least I thought I did must have got lost in the ether. (I thought I posted it right after the not tombstone post as I couldn't recall the name offhand).

[BoSoxGal]

You can have my turn if you like, CP.

[Crackpot]

Thanks one moment

[Crackpot]

Here's a good one

J: Where would King Arthur be without Guinevere?

P: Happily married, probably.

J: Well, that's a bad... that's a bad example.

[RayThom]

How about this one? Pretty close, heh?




(Merlin)

[Crackpot]

Nein!

[Crackpot]

Disabled Veteran: Didja hear that Jimmy Nickles got picked up yesterday?

J: Oh, yeah?

Disabled Veteran: Yeah. He got caught pissin' on a bookstore. Man is a *pig*. No excuse for that.

[lady drops coins in his cup]

Disabled Veteran: Thank you, baby. It's social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

[man throws coins on the ground near his feet, which Disabled Veteran cannot reach]

J: Asshole. He didn't even look at you.

Disabled Veteran: He's payin' so he don't have to look. See... guy goes to work every day, eight hours a day, seven days a week. Gets his nuts so tight in a vice that he starts questioning the very fabric of his existence. Then one day, 'bout quitting time, Boss calls him into the office and says, "Hey Bob, whyncha come on in here and kiss my ass for me, will you?" Well, he says, "Hell with it. I don't care what happens, I just want to see the expression on his face as I jab this pair of scissors into his arm."

[sighs]

Disabled Veteran: Then he thinks of me. He says, "Waitaminit. I got both my arms, I got both my legs. At least I'm not begging for a living. Sure enough, Bob's gonna put those scissors down and pucker right up. See, I'm what you call kind of a "moral traffic light", really. I'm like sayin', "Red! Go no further! Boooo-ee boooo-ee boooo-ee..."

I think I just watched this recently, if it's the movie I think it is . . . but not sure that I can guess, am I allowed since I gave away my turn?

If I win I'll be giving my turn away again, I like guessing but seem to have run out of creativity for coming up with new quotes.

[RayThom]

Where have I herd this? Let's try:

[Crackpot]

Don't really care either way. I wouldn't have jumped at taking this one if I didn't have a movie in mind. Especially one like this that has a lot of great quotes.


And no Ray.

[datsunaholic]

It does have a lot of great quotes. Unfortunately I looked it up; I've had that movie in my DVD collection for over a decade, yet somehow I never watched it until yesterday.
