He's right though, an obscure quote from a very NOT obscure movie. I'd be surprised if a movie buff/critic would get it, let alone anybody on this board.

I've still never seen it even though we do own the DVD/Blu-ray combo pack. :)

Well, it was posted on Tuesday at 9:53pm PST, so we're well over 24 hours later after posting, I think it's safe to say that anyone who Googled it or the original poster himself (Bert) could reveal it.

Muwahahaha, so I will: Avatar


"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children." LOVE this quote, and love this movie.

The Crow. Not my favorite movie but it was certainly one of my son's favorites. I watched it with him often. But since it's actually a noted quote from literature, I'll wait for confirmation that I've chosen the same movie you're using.

Okay, so I'm going to use a line from one of my favorite movies. I say again, from a MOVIE.

"In an insane society, the sane man must appear insane."

Oh dangit I know this one too so I'm not googling it yet because I know it will come to me! (hopefully)

I'm hoping someone will come up with it Bert but I suspect it will have to be googled out. It's been used in many forms by many people but the movie I'm looking for credits it as a Spock line from a Trek episode. The movie I'm looking for is one of those hidden gem comedies (IMO) from the early 80's.

Your previous post made it sound like it has been done in other mediums, perhaps television? So I'm struggling to think of television remakes of movies or movies from television shows. If I'm off on that, then I'll never figure it out. :)

Of course, if you're referencing Star Trek in your previous post, then I'm screwed.

Well, it's just that the quote, or something with the same meaning, has been used in several mediums. Vonnegut has a similar quote, Spock uses a line like it in Mirror, Mirror and so on. In the movie I'm talking about, they use the line and the character speaking it claims he heard it from Star Trek.

Okay, so there's been about a hundred views with no takers so I'm guessing no one's seen the movie. The quote is from SERIAL, a satiric comedy from 1980 starring Martin Mull, Tuesday Weld, Sally Kellerman, Bill Macy, Christopher Lee, Peter Bonerz and Tom Smothers.

So here goes, a quote from a more well known movie:

"Second shelf is mine. That's where I keep my root beers and my double thick Oreo cookies. Nobody touches the second shelf but me."

Should be an easy one. One of my favorite movies.

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
