I'll get in ahead... shall we make it, you have to name the movie, and the character that said the line? No web searches allowed!

1. So you want to be a Jedi

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, starring Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan and Natalie Portman as Queen Amidala. I think the line is spoken by Yoda?

2. Phone home

E.T., starring Drew Barrymore (as a child star) and directed by Steven Spielberg. The line is said by a number of characters, none of them over 4 feet tall; most notably by E.T. (him?)self.

3. The Hills are alive

with The Sound Of Music. This line spoken (or rather, sung) by the lead character Maria

4. Iceberg ahead

Titanic... yelled in panic by a nondescript crew member or two, I think.

5. Uzi 9mm

(Spoken by big Arnie Schwarznegger... but what *IS* that film? :))

1 point for each movie guessed correctly. 5 points for the connection. Usual Pop Quiz rules apply. No search engines until Sunday (if required)!

Don't get too cocky. No matter how good you are. Don't let them see you coming. That's the gaff, my friend -- make yourself small. Be the hick. The cripple. The nerd. The leper. The freak. Look at me -- I've been underestimated from day one. Do I look like a master of the universe?
...and very important, DO NOT do your homework without wearing headphones. Repeat...
Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make.
Well I had no choice, did I? I'm a woman. Women are obliged to be far more skillful than men. You can ruin our reputation and our life with a few well-chosen words. So of course I had to invent not only myself but ways of escape no one has every thought of before. And I've succeeded because I've always known I was born to dominate your sex and avenge my own.
You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth.
I'm a connoisseur of roads. I've been tasting roads my whole life. This road will never end. It probably goes all around the world.
All right, pop quiz. Airport. Gunman with one hostage. He's using her for cover; he's almost to a plane. You're a hundred feet away. Jack?
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.
Billy, you are dealing with the oddity of time travel with the greatest of ease!
I'm guilty of cheating on my wife, of being a bad husband and a bad Christian.

I had this all prepared to post when Franck took the forum away.

1 I never dreamed that any mere physical experience could be so stimulating!
2 There are four ways of doing things on board my ship. The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way
3 I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
4 My, my, my! Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains.
5 When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it!

What I want is the name of the movie and the name of the character speaking the line. 1 point each, and 5 points for the theme. On this round the theme is easy, which is why I'm asking for the character name. No web searches or use of movie quote reference materials until/unless I say so.

No 3 is "Casablanca", spoken by Police Captain Renault (Claude Rains)

Well, I suspect it's the only film in the list from my era, so I had better get in quickly!!!

Wrong on two counts, John (character name and assumption on age of movies)! But 1 point for the film. And 1 point bonus for being able to quote (with correct character name) another line from the film.

This quiz has really captured your imagination! :grin: I obviously made it too difficult. :confused: Never mind - I thought at least John S would have had a second go at his quote - or indeed anyone else, since he did get the correct movie, so surely someone can work out which character said it!

Use of search engines is now allowed. Please someone put this round out of it's misery!

Is the theme that they are all Humphrey Bogart movies?

I did a quick Google search, but don't have time to post specific answers...

Still no use of a search engine, just exercising the one remaining brain cell.

Well, No 3 was said at the end of the film. so it wasn't Captain Renault who said it then it must have been Rik (HB).

And working on Franck's clue about other Bogart movies then No 2 sounds like it should be The Caine Mutiny - I know the captain had a funny name, was it Queeg or something like that?

Still trying my luck, No 5 sounds familiar so I'll guess The Maltese Falcon, said by Sam Spade (HB).

How am I doing?

(Oh, and if one of them is from The African Queen by any chance, do I get a bonus point for having my photo taken a few months ago in the actual boat used for the filming - it's in Key Largo, Florida (name-dropping!!)

Well deduced. Rick Blaine, played, as you say, by Humphrey Bogart

Bang on. Lt Cdr Philip Queeg, also played by Humphrey Bogart

Correct again.


How am I doing?

Six points so far.

(Oh, and if one of them is from The African Queen by any chance, do I get a bonus point for having my photo taken a few months ago in the actual boat used for the filming - it's in Key Largo, Florida (name-dropping!!) Might be!

I'll give you the bonus if you post the pic. :grin:

First of all, as Dreadful Scathe says, there are no specific etiquette rules to follow, just post away :D

For all the games (lyric, film, litt. , etc...) the general approach is that you submit a number of quotes all centred round a theme. Each correct answer gets 1 point, and 5 points bonus for the theme.
Anyone can prepare one at any time, and the only onus on the quiz master is to be around to answer people's guesses and to summarize the points.

Having said all that, I am totally stumped by your 2 titles, except maybe 'heid' was mentioned in Trainspotting?
