Round robin trivia

I’m focusing on other things today, so play amongst yourselves:

“But Captain, to obey, just like that, for obedience’s sake—without questioning—that’s something only people like you do.”

    Pan’s Labyrinth?

  2. Evn says:

    I’m pretty sure I’m right, so let’s carry on.

    “It’s been a funny sort of day, hasn’t it?” (re: zombies)

  3. Melville says:

    An educated guess (since I haven’t seen the movie): Is it Shaun of the Dead?

  4. Melville says:

    “May I remind you that Othello ends badly for the hero?”
    “Well, I’m not Othello. None of us speaks blank verse. Not even you.”

  5. Melville says:

    Hint: 1930’s

    Sorry. We all suck.

  7. Melville says:

    Another hint: Originally a celebrated novel, then a Broadway drama.

  8. Melville says:

    Okay, here’s the giveaway clue 🙂

    The actor who plays the title character later won an Oscar (not for this movie), as did his son, and his granddaughter.

    I’ll be away from the computer for the next 2 hours, so anyone who gets it and feels confident they are right, go ahead and post a new quote.

  10. Evn says:

    Dodsworth. Based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis, starring Walter Huston, who won an Academy Award, as did his son (John) and granddaughter (Anjelica).

    *whew*

    “Why don’t we just skip over the witches?”

  12. Evn says:

    Hint: Four directors, among other things.

    Hmmm. Quite a slow round this week. Here’s one last hint (I just made this dialogue up, so IMDB won’t help you):

    “Hello! Welcome to The Room Store.”

    “Thank you! I’ll take two. Wait, actually, give me twice that many.”

  14. Deborah Lipp says:

    Oh! Four Rooms.

    I thought at first it was Casino Royale (1967) but that’s six directors.

    I HATE Four Rooms. Like the witches, though.

  15. Evn says:

    You are correct! The witches were definitely the best part.
