I was actually quoting 13th Warrior but my gods Tombstone is such a great movie!

Oops, there’s a similar quote from Tombstone. Haven’t seen 13th Warrior in a long time, but it’s about time to rewatch

The Princess Bride, obviously!

___ (I didn’t actually know that off the top of my head. I ran across a site that apparently indexes movie clips by sentence and picks a random line every time you reload the page. It happened to load a search for “hello there” and that was one of the first five results that it shows you before telling you to pay for an account. The other four results were Far From Heaven, Annie (2014), Hellboy II, and The Mask, BTW.)

Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won’t be recognized.
Show threadgenerallynonsensicalJun 22
Elderberries
Show threadsnoonsJun 22
Still doesn’t work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren’t common.
Show threadgenerallynonsensicalJun 22
I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.

“What is your favorite color?” is the best I can do.
Show threadpapalonianJun 24

Even this depends on diction.

“What is your favorite color?” - School teacher.

“WHAT- is your favorite color?” - Tim

Show threadBrianTheeBiscuiteerJun 22
Of course it’s a good idea!
Show threadNibodhikaJun 22
“Who goes there?” and “It’s only a model” could work without any more context. But I think I would go with “Oh, don’t be such a baby” even with context I think lots of people won’t immediately recognize this.

My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:

  • Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
  • That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
  • Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.

  • “Klaatu barada nikto”
  • “Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha”

The first one is a classic. The second one may not be as familiar but still is a great movie ;)

I saw it in my head just reading it. Absolutely moving.

I can’t get through ::: spoiler (other scene) Sam’s monologue ::: With dry eyes either. That speech has kept me going, so many times.

You must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Don’t be resigned to that. Break out!
