Let's play a game: "Identify that movie quote!"

might as well start a new one then:

You're in this position because you're not telling the truth.

 

Way to go, severian28!
I'm afraid I'll have to think about Ghost_Jedi's for a while...

All right, here's my next quote:
"The road is my home. My home, the road. And when I think of all the people I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me!"

 

want a hint?

 

While you continue to think over this one:

You're in this position because you're not telling the truth. [/quote]


Let me give you another, slightly easier:

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

 

"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Monty Python Holy Grail

Here's mine.

'Lesson number 1. Never underestimate the other guy's greed!'

 

Scarface?

 

I'd like a hint, please.

 

Wallstreet - Gordon Gecko?

 

No it's Scarface

Prefect was right

 

Both of them 80's movies written by Oliver Stone.

Just pointing out.

Anyway, here's my turn:

You know, T.J., just before you called me last spring, Lexy and I went down to the Democratic Leadership Conference in South Carolina. The last night, we were sitting aroud with Kirk O'Donnell, and Hart, and Biden, a couple of the other candidates, who were shooting the breeze about how much the party had changed since the Sixties. And suddenly, out of the blue, Lexy turned to Hart and she asked him who his favorite Beatle was. Now, at first, Hart laughed, and then he stumbled around trying to remember a name. Then she repeated her question for Biden, and Biden said, well, he'd never been a Beatles fan, he was into jazz. And Dukakis answered Paul, 'cause he liked his wife or something. Now, I don't know if Lexy knows the names of all the Beatles herself, let alone the answer to her own question, but it suddenly dawned on me that I sure as hell did. And I knew for sure that anybody who didn't had absolutely no claim to generational leadership. Now I must have, what, uh, ten years on Joe Biden; but, dammit, he wasn't paying attention back then, and I was. And one of the things I figured out very early on was the singer mattered as much as the song - that ideas were only as valuable as the people who got behind them. I mean people that wouldn't settle; people unafraid of honest inquiry; people who didn't mind asking the impertinent question. God, the impertinent question. Where the hell would we be without it? It's the glory and the engine of all human experience. Copernicus asked it, and shook the foundations of his world. Darwin asked it, he's repudiated to this day. Thomas Jefferson asked it - so invigorated by it he declared it to be an inalienable right. I'm not smart enough to know all the answers. But I do know we've got to keep asking the questions. That's what the American experiment is all about. It's at the very core of our character as a people. We owe our vigor to its constant renewal. You know, I don't have much patience for these guys who go around saying the pride is back in America. For some of us, it never left. Vietnam may have covered some patriots in shame, but not this one. We got in there for moral reasons, and, by God, we got out of there for moral reasons. Where else on this Earth does such debate settle on anything other than expediency? Only in America. Watergate - triumph of the system. How could anybody watch Barbara Jordan thunder away at those House hearings and not feel a surge of pride in the miracle of this country? And then there are those people who tell you that our noisy dissent, our raucous squabble, weakened us as a country - caused us to lose our supremacy. Don't you believe it. We are the envy of this world. Why? Because, throughout our history, we have always maintained that we could do better. We have insisted that we could do better. We've always been willing to reinvent ourselves for the common good. And in our darkest hour, leaders, real leaders, have always stepped forward to hold the American people to the responsibility of citizenship. Well, it's time for that kind of leadership now, T.J. And I'm not sure that it's me, but I'd like the chance to find out.

(Pause)

Oh, and if you young people are still wondering, the right answer is John Lennon.

 

Jedi Ford is that from Primary Colors?

It was said by a Young Gun

 

Ghost: Try again. It is a political work, though.

But that's probably not enough of a clue.

Here's a better hint-- it centers around the 1988 Presidential Election. Or at least the nomination process.

 

Nobody?

Nobody?

Come on!

Okay, another hint-- It was originally a mini-series for HBO.

 

God, I hate that quote. (BTW, there is no 'right' answer.)

 

"The road is my home. My home, the road. And when I think of all the people I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me!"

I take it nobody knows this one...?

It's been ages since I've last posted here, so I'll add one more:
"We don't wanna off someone first night out. I mean, it'd be a shame to get this floor all messed up with blood!"

 

Pazuzu: My Own Private Idaho? Sorry, couldn't resist with the road images combined with "coming."

Finally, did nobody get that my quote was from Tanner '88? Sheesh Louise.

 

Since nobody has answered mine yet, I will give another hint:

It was said by one former cowboy to another former cowboy

 

I can only guess that it's Kiefer Sutherland in Young Guns. It's been ages since I've seen either one of those, so I may be way off...

 

"The road is my home. My home, the road. And when I think of all the people I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me!"

"We don't wanna off someone first night out. I mean, it'd be a shame to get this floor all messed up with blood!"

HELPFUL HINTS:
No, it's not My Own Private Idaho. It's actually from a rock musical.
The other quote is from an infamous low-budget horror film from the early '70s.

 

When you say rock opera, do you mean TOMMY by any chance?

Right actor, wrong movie

 

I am so very sorry, Ghost_Jedi! Color me completely clueless on this one...

And my first quote is not Tommy, either. Try again...

Once again, my two quotes are:
"The road is my home. My home, the road. And when I think of all the people I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me!"

"We don't wanna off someone first night out. I mean, it'd be a shame to get this floor all messed up with blood!"

One of them's from a very recent rock musical, and the other's from a low-budget horror classic from the early '70s.

 

Ghost_Jedi,
I got it! I got it! It's Kiefer Sutherland as Sonny Gilstrap in The Cowboy Way! Am I right?

Now, can you guess mine...?

 

nope, the actor he is saying the line to was a cowboy in a different movie

 

Oh...
Well, I'm afraid I'm stumped then!

Remember, I've still got two quotes left unanswered...

 

The other cowboy was a true outlaw
