Great 80's Movie Lines - Day 5

Today's is the last day in the great 80's movie lines contest. You have until tomorrow at midnight to post your answers. Winners will be announced in Monday's post.

Today's movies include are all comedies. .. a romantic fantasy, and two murder mysteries.

"A" - This movie is a swashbuckling romance told by a grandfather (also with a great cast).

" When I was your ag, television was called books."

""That day she was amazed to discover that whe he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back."

" I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.'

"Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

"You rsuh a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."

"And you: friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless! Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed in Greenland!"

"I do not think you would accept my help, since I am only waiting to kill you." "That does put a damper on our relationship."

"You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted."

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead."

"There's a shortage of perfect breast in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours."

"you're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen,"

"There's not a lot of money in revenge."

"Please consider me as an alternative to suicide."

"B" - This movie was the first of it's kind and features great animation along with live action.

"Yeah. Check the probate. Why my uncle thumper has a problem with HIS probate and he had to take these big pills and drink lots of water.'

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."

"Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are youjust happy to see me."

"Is he always this funny or only on days when he's wanted for murder?"

"I would have been here right after you called but I had to shake the weasela."

"You need a heart, before you can have an attack."

"Thith ith the latht time I work with thomeone with a th-peach impediment."

"Is there nothing that can permeate that impervious puss?"

"C" - This is a classic who-done -it, that any mystery lover should know and of course stars one of my favorite actors, Tim Curry.

""Well, it's a matter of life and death. Now that he's dead, I have a life."

"I am willing to believe you. I, too, am being blackmailed for something I didn't do."

"I was a victim too. At least my wife was. She had friends who were..... socialist."

"You seem to suffer from what we call "Pressure of Speech"."

"It's a free country, don't you know that?" " I didn't know it was "that" free."

"He was expendable like all of you. I'm grateful to you all for disposing of my network of spies and informers. saved me a lot of trouble. Now there's no evidence against me."

"Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die."

"Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!"

"Who would want to kill the cook?" "Dinner wasn't that bad."

How many husbands have you had?"  " Mine or other women's?"

"Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft strong and disposable."

"Communism was just a red herring."

"But is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after a multiple murder?" "Yes. Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?"

"Well, he's certainly dead now. Why would anyone want to kill him twice?"

"No meaning yes? Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn't there, yes or no?" "No" ""No there is or no there isn't?" " Yes."

    2 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Did you hear they making a sequel?)
    3 - Clue (Tim Curry IS awesome, isn't he?)

  3. I love that first clue for #1:
    "When I was your age, television was called books." That is so great!

    I was surprised to find these easier for me than the last two days!

    1. Princess Bride
    2. Roger Rabbit
    3. Clue

    I did stumble over that last one for a bit though...

  4. Yowzers I'm such a dufus commenter on these posts - guess I'm not as well viewed as most of your readers - (That or it's the "half-heimers?) - but I DID get Roger Rabbit! YAY!

    BTW, do you REMEMBER all these lines? Or do you actually watch thru them again and jot down notes - cuz if it's the former and you got THAT good a memory I'm scared o' you! (wink)

  5. Zia- I figured these might be harder.

    Diane- I did not know about the sequel and yes Tim Curry is the best.

    Crystal- That is actually my favorite line from the movie.

    Marvin- Don't feel bad you just have to be a real 80's movie fan. And I'm good but I'm not that good, I did rewatch all of these movies to get the lines I used. For some of them I even had to rewind and listen again to make sure I got it right.
