#1 is Manhattan
#7 is My Favorite Year
Melville, you’re right, as ever.
#3 has gotta be Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Aaargh, Ken scooped me again.
Is #2 Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?
#5 is Moonstruck
#2 is Mystic River
Two wrong answers on #2.
Maurinsky, check your answer: Did you mean Moonstruck is #5? (Because it isn’t.)
#4 is what I meant
#5 sounds like such an Albert Brooks line, and I know I’ve heard it, but damned if I can remember what movie.
#2….Million Dollar Baby, maybe?
If Maurinsky is right about Albert Brooks, then #5 must be Modern Romance.
I’m still trying to figure out how you found what must be the only line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail I don’t know. I was sure my friends and I had the whole thing memorized back then 🙂 .
Mel, I didn’t know it either, until Nobody in Particular pointed it out to me; it’s his favorite line.
No one has #5 yet.
I think #5 is Miami Rhaposdy.
Evn, score!
#6 is Meet Me in St. Louis (which I love, btw)
I didn’t “know” the line either, Melville….. but it just *sounded* so Monty Python it couldn’t have been from anything else!
Hmm, that’s weird. You didn’t know it, i didn’t know it, Deb didn’t know it. Do you think NiP is putting one over on us? Did he say exactly where in the movie it’s from, and who says it, Deb?
LOL @ Mel!
Mel, I watched the movie with NiP, in person like, and he quoted it aloud, and that’s how I realized it was in there.
O.K., I’ll take your word for it.
But I’m gonna be listening extra carefully next time I watch the movie. 😉
I believe it is the first encounter with the French, but if not, it’s definitely spoken by the French taunters.
