Name That Movie

For as long as I can remember, my brothers and friends and I have loved quoting movie lines.  Caddyshack has always been one of the most frequent, but there are several.




Rodney in Back To School... 





A Few Good Men is one on the serious side.  As Good As It Gets is another of Nicholson's.









In addition to the obvious ones, we've always had a blast using more obscure lines from lesser known movies.  A good example is Can't Buy Me Love starring a young Patrick Dempsey.  There's one particular character in the movie, Quint, who says some ridiculously funny lines.




Speaking of Quints, how many memorable lines does Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws have???




The Best of Times with Kurt Russel and Robin Williams is another.




This post is actually tied to a few of my other posts.  Movie quotes are not always witty, but some people get them, some people don't.  And like my Paradox of Wit post explains, if those listening do not get it, you may look pretty foolish.  I've also tried using Twitter hashtags to turn things into a game.  3 On A Beach and Cliche Quote have not been as successful as I'd like.  Let's try one more.  #NTM for Name That Movie.


Oh, and don't cheat!  We all know how easy it is to look up a line on the internet...
