Guess that movie quote

The Great Escape

I wasn't sure but the Mr Hudson clue confirmed it.

Correct and I'm not surprised it's the Upstairs, Downstairs clue that led the way. So, you're up.

"The tuna factory robbery! The case I've been talking about for the last 15 years."

Saturday matinee at the Kachina theater. 1964. What a great way to beat the 115% days for a kid with no A/C.

"The tuna factory robbery! The case I've been talking about for the last 15 years."

I think I've probably mentioned this movie more on this forum than everyone else combined. In fact, I think I've brought it up already in this thread and another recent thread about movie games. Anyway, the movie is It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

My parents took us to see it at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood a week after the premiere. There were so many easily identifiable locations the locals in the audience were saying things like, "There's my dentist's office!" We were Hollywood insiders long before the people in the Paul Giamitti commercials. During one of the map scenes my mother said, "They're going to be at Uncle Pete's in five minutes." I loved it.

Your turn.

The Beach Boys and Beach Blanket Bingo and California Nights and California Dreamin' and the Dean Martin Show all made me realize that Southern California was the place we ought to be. So we loaded up the Olds and we moved near Beverly, La Habra Hills that is. That was as close as we got to Hollywood.

The home of the Hass avocado AND Nixon's first law office. Which could be a plot point in a Coen Brothers movie. Except who wants to go to the movies and be reminded of Nixon?

Along with the heiress to a fortune derived from an almost indispensable feminine hygiene product. Her home in La Habra Heights was a local treasure.

You're on the clock. If we had a clock. Which reminds me of another of my favorite quotes, one I use at least a few times a year. Anyone here remember "such much?"? It's a classic moment from a classic film, Casablanca. An elderly couple is practicing their English in preparation for their upcoming trip to safety. The man asks his wife the time and upon hearing the answer, the husband responds with "such much?".

I've never seen this comment used when it wasn't sarcasm?

Here's a tough one:

It's all in the hooter, the schnoz, the olfactory instrument. You could be a sniffer with a schnoz like that.

lol... Steve, the majority of my friends and I pretty much only conversate via movie lines. there was no sarcasm to my comment at all.

Good to hear. As I've mentioned, my wife and I play this game daily without fail. It's just such a great way to recapture the feeling from some of the best moments in movies we've watched and loved through the years. And we don't just quote, we often shape quotes to fit the situation.

I had a guess. I looked it up. I was wrong.

Hint: one of the best movies of 1998 but was a failure because it opened the same weekend as another movie that crushed it.

Its obviously not the case but that is something I can easily imagine W.C.Fields saying. He had a prominent olfactory organ of his own...

Any chance your memory is slipping just a little bit here? Having already googled the quote I decided to see what movie destroyed it at the bank. But unless I'm looking at it wrong (or using a bad site), I couldn't find anything that fit your description. The closest I could get was an animated movie that came out a week earlier (according to boxofficemojo).

It was an animated movie and I thought I remembered they came out at the same time because this movie was delayed and the brilliant studio that made it decided to put it up against the other movie. Even if it was released a week later, still a stupid decision. I believe this movie was supposed to be released at the beginning of November and ended up being released on Thanksgiving weekend.

Makes sense.
