Name That Movie!

too Past; too Futurous? Vin says, "Greeeeaaaat"

[Long Run]

SL: So, Back to the Future's a bunch of bullshit?

Actually, horse manure:

[BoSoxGal]

I’m guessing that movies that are still in their original theater run are likely unknown to most folks here?

So the hint is, if you haven’t been to the movies in the past 4.5 weeks, you won’t know this one.

[Crackpot]

Don’t know what you’re talking about I saw a gentleman on the street selling copies the other day...

[Lord Jim]

My thinking was that this movie got so much hype that with the clues I gave (not even counting the quotes) somebody ought to be able to guess it even if they hadn't seen it...


BTW, in my opinion it pretty much lived up to the hype, (unlike a lot of films in this genre) if you like this type of movie, (which I do)...

[Long Run]

I hate to do it, but someone has to rescue this thread from something so new.



Avengers Endgame.

What's old is new again. First quote:

M: We're gonna come out of this war rich!

Y: You're gonna come out rich. We're gonna come out dead.

D:  "There's a catch."
Y:  "A catch?"
D:  "Sure.  Catch-22.  Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him."
Y:  "Okay, let me see if I've got this straight.  In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy.  And I must be crazy to keep flying.  But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying."
D:  "You got it.  That's Catch-22."
Y:  "Whoo...  That's some catch, that Catch-22."
D:  "It's the best there is."

Amazing how many articles about the Hulu mini-series version I had to wade through in Google to get to the good one....

Ray has a good miss and Bill has the right answer, of course. All yours, BB.

I know this one, but as I just recently had a turn in the barrel, hopefully someone else will get it...

LJ, what... are you implying that my thoroughly researched answer is incorrect?

Damn! Do I feel stupid.

[Bicycle Bill]

Yes, RayThom, your 'thoroughly-whatever answer' is indeed incorrect.
Next quote:

I'm guessing Rupert Grint (a/k/a 'Ronald Weasley' from the Harry Potter franchise) voiced the ginger-haired postman.

You know, one of these days you just might accidentally post a correct answer, and the rest of us here will topple like ten-pins from the shock.  But in this case — and as usual — you're still wrong.

SOOOooooo close.....

but no.

"Where's your lawyer?"
"I don't know.  Tahiti, maybe?  He's got a time share there."
"When the defendant has no lawyer, the court will assign one to him.  Hey, anyone want to be his lawyer?"
