You know, I always thought of my self as a move buff, with my huge DVD collection, but I haven't got a clue on any of these quotes. I haven't seen most of the films the quotes are from.
To be honest, the image that comes to mind when someone suggests running mascara is Tim Curry in RHPS. He wasn't chasing after any married men in that movie, though, and it sure as hell never won Best Picture.
Yeah, I tried to come up with at least a vaguely "not instantly recognizable" quote, since there are dozens and dozens that are blatantly obvious. I just watched Princess Bride with a friend of mine in an currently being reconstructed old school theatre. Let me tell you, no matter how many times you've seen the movie, when Andre's head is the side of an entire old movie screen ... it's still impressive.
I know Mark's quote, but don't want to back to back, so I'll leave it open for others.
I love Mark's quote -- the movie in question is filled with so many classic lines that sometimes I forget that even the dialogue that didn't end up on AFI lists is wonderful.
oh, wait... thats the cold war spoof movie huh... the one with all the bomber planes... Aww, man. I have no idea why I thought it was something else. I should remember, my teacher did make our class watch it when we learned about the cold war. (He was somewhat of a nut, that movie wasn't very educational)
ETA: Maybe I just won't try to use my brain at night. It seems to malfunction.
"Not very educational" from a factual point of view, perhaps, but I think it does show something about the Cold War mentality / mindset -- we forget nowadays that a lot of the rhetoric in "Dr. Strangelove" was real stuff that real people were saying and believing. (Not the P.O.E. stuff, but the -- well, the "mine shaft gap" comes to mind, for instance.) It's a hilarious movie even if you don't think about the context, but if you pay attention to the context you do get a decent, though obviously distorted, view of how people thought about things "back then"...
That scene was with one of the title characters during a tree rescue.
I remember The Day After and it scared my little brain thoroughly. Also, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is one of my favorite comedies. If this game goes on, I'll use a lot of Kubrick.
Well, based on the clue I'm going to randomly guess Greystoke.
I remember The Day After also. Back then, I had this odd concept that these "landmark miniseries" were so important that I had to record them and keep the VCR tapes. I also recorded V, and Amerika. You remember that one? The whole "the Russians won the Cold War and took us over" for some reason was scarier to me than the bomb.
ETA: MitchO...That Amerika with the backwards(Russian) K? Scared shitless! Ended up doing a play and eventually touring the southwest in a VW van with one of that miniseries' stars, Don Reilly. Haven't thought about that in ages. Thanks.

The African Queen. Nice.
"What a tragedy! An insane mute will win the Pulitzer Prize!"
Very funny, though, Mark!
Game on.

This is why I don't date them. :-P
Great movie. Great performances.
I have obviously done nothing but watch movies my entire life.
I guess I've just seen RHPS too many times, and it blocks everything else out...

Casablanca.
I'm gonna sit in my sad corner now
We're gonna need a bigger corner. So far the only one I've recognized was the Office Space one but I was too late to answer.
I don't know how well this is going to come out, but I think it'll be obvious enough:
ET fix spelling.
"Those little pieces of paper with your picture on it?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I don't have one."
"Come again."
"I don't have one. I don't believe in them."
"How long have you been driving?"
"About forty-five minutes..."
One of the best scenes ever filmed. I didn't have the heart to break it up.

I have no idea what that quote's from, awryone. I apparently stink at this game, primarily because I haven't seen a lot of these movies being quoted.
