This time Oscar recognizes Brokeback Mountain (not Crash)!

[David]

"No prisoners,  no prisoners!" =

"I wish I knew how to quit you!"  =   Brokeback Mountain.

"All right, Mr.DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up"  =  Sunset Boulevard.

"ROSEBUD"   =   Citizen Kane.

"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"  = Network

[TheStudDuck!]

I'm going to opt out of this game since I know about 80% of the quotes from the poster. 

(I will answer one of my favorites, that I was so surprised to see there, which is:  "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving." -- from Sideways, of course.  Actually, that's not really the good quote, the good one is, "NO!  I AM NOT DRINKING ANY FUCKING MERLOT!" but I guess that couldn't really make the poster, eh?)

"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"  = Network

I can't read the one below this... can anyone else?

However...

"I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog, too!" = The Wizard of Oz

"Good evening, Clarice." = The Silence of the Lambs (? never seen the movie... cannibals creep me out)

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal." = 2001: A Space Odyssey

There are a lot of movies that didn't win Best Picture on there, you know? In a way, the poster is an indirect recognition that the Oscars don't get it right... a lot. (And did you notice how the fonts for the quotes fit the fonts used on the movie posters? Look at the font for BBM. It's obvious for the Star Wars and E.T. quotes, especially.)

(I'm not watching the Oscars this year, either. Bleah.)

I hope you all join in and answer all of these--  I know a good number of them seem really obvious, but there are some that I don't have a clue about, such as:

"Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush."  (What?  Yet another movie about pitchin' a stinky pup tent without leavin' no signs?  )

Also wondering about "Wind in the hair!  Lead in the pencil!"   


I'll take an easy one:

"What we've got here is failure to communicate."  Cool Hand Luke

And an even easier one: 

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."  Gone with the Wind

Betting on who ran the best campaign, who has delivered just the right level of reasonably safe PC film and performances to make narrow-minded Academy members feel good about themselves when they pass out their awards? Who cares about that? Not me.   

Well-said.

Got so many better things to do with those 3+ hours.

"The horror. The horror." Apocalypse Now.

"You had me at hello." Jerry Maguire

Hey Sascha,

Like I said, I know pretty much all of 'em, even those ones that everyone thinks are obscure (that's what I get for coming into the brokies by strictly being a film geek.)

"Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush." is from one of my all-time favorite crime movies, L.A. Confidential.  Not only is it a line said often by Danny DeVito's character (a tabloid "journalist"), as it was the slogan for his Hush-Hush Magazine, but it was also the tagline for the film.

  YEE-HAW for great films!  (See L.A. Confidential, it is amazing!)

LOVED LA Confidential.  Also high on my list. 

On the movie thread I posted Premiere Magazines list of the most over-rated movies of all time.  Check it out.

I watched Trash, can't remember one line of dialogue, not one catch phrase.
