Name That Movie!

[Bicycle Bill]

Actually, I think it was "Cars 2", not the first one.

That's Click and Clack - they were in a movie?

Yup. they were in the first one, Cars

You go Datsunaholic. Yugo? What?

Dusty Rust-eze: Don't drive like my brother!
Rusty Rust-eze: Yeah, don't drive like my brother!

When I had "Car talk" on the radio one morning, my granddaughter was very surprised to hear Click and Clack deliver those lines. She'd probably watched the movie on DVD a dozen times.

Question: Are made for TV movies eligible for this game?

As the criteria for this game was originally established, they are not eligible...

Personally I don't care....

[datsunaholic]

Character 2: You are fooling yourself, <redacted>. Nothing here is what it seems. You are not the plucky hero, the <redacted> is not an evil empire, and this is not the grand arena.

Character 3: And that's not incense. <boom>

My personal feeling is that made-for-TV movies should not count unless they went on to become cultural icons in and of themselves, so that's why I put the kibosh on them when I introduced this thread.

Something like "The Day After" or Spielberg's "Duel" would probably be OK with me, but if we open it up to all TV movies there is a whole raft of "one-and-done" time-killers from Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel that no one here would have ever seen unless you bought a video copy out of the '2 for $10' bin at WallyWorld.  I would even draw the line at HBO or AMC 'originals', because unless you pay extra to get those channels you don't get the opportunity to see them.

The other thing is that if we allow made-for-TV movies, then what do we do about mini-series like the original "Roots", "Shogun", or "The Thorn Birds", just to name a couple of the better ones?

Your opinions may differ, of course, and if the general consensus now is that TV movies are OK I will not object too strenuously.

"Battlestar Galactica"

[datsunaholic]

Very funny Ray. There wasn't a Battlestar Galactica movie (at least not a theatrical one). But I see where you went with that. But if you wanted to go with a TV series that had one of the main cast in that was also in the movie I quoted, you should have gone with "V". The 2009 version, that is.

This one really stumped folks? My last ones were guessed so quickly...

Another quote, perhaps?

Character 4: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.

Character 1: Define "interesting".

Character 4: [deadpan] Oh God, Oh God, we're all going to die?

Or Castle...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Galaxy Quest?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Plan 9 from Outer Space (aka Grave Robbers from Outer Space)?

[Lord Jim]

Well at least folks have figured out it's a sci fi flick...

I already answered one this week, but I guess if nobody else is going to get it I'll answer this one...

I'm surprised CP doesn't know it...

[Crackpot]

Not that big of a sci fi guy. One of the Star Treks?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Firefly

[Lord Jim]

Firefly

Same lead actor...

[Guinevere]

I think know the answer, but not from the quote and I've not even seen the movie.

But I loved BG (old and new) and happen to know there are two related(?) films - Firefly and this one...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oh well, that's too many clues. I'm out

[Lord Jim]

Firefly was a TV series...

[Long Run]

Serenity was definitely better. I guess it helps to have a bit of a budget.

[RayThom]

"The Fifth Element"

[datsunaholic]

Yes, Serenity. LJ has it. I suspected someone would miss with the TV show name (which had an episode with the same name as the movie)
