1. What's the title of the 1990 crime drama that included this quote? "Funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?"
From Quiz And I Quote...
Answer: Goodfellas
"Goodfellas" tells the story of mobster-turned-FBI-informant Henry Hill, and his 25 year association with the New York City Mafia. Ray Liotta, who plays Hill in the film, is part of a stellar cast which also includes, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Paul Sorvino. The quote appears in a scene where mob henchman and resident psychopath Tommy DeVito, played brilliantly by Pesci, is having dinner and drinks with some associates, including Henry. After Tommy tells the group an amusing story, Henry comments on what a funny guy he is, after which DeVito, who pretends to be insulted by the comment, goes on a very intense rant. It's a great performance and one of the reasons why Joe Pesci took home the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at 1991 Academy Awards.

5. Which 2010 movie won Colin Firth his first Oscar, starred previous Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush in the supporting role and featured the quote: "Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!"?
From Quiz By Royal Decree
Answer: The King's Speech
Colin Firth starred as Albert, second son of George V, who reluctantly became King George VI after his older brother abdicated in favour of love with Wallis Simpson. Albert had stuttered throughout his life, but as he was not expected to take the throne, he had never received treatment for it. His affliction became a severe problem for him when his speeches to a wartime England were to be broadcast into people's homes. Geoffrey Rush starred as Australian Lionel Logue who helped "Bertie" overcome his speech impediment and was by the King's side during all of his broadcast speeches. This movie, based on the true story of George VI, also starred Helena Bonham Carter as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Jennifer Ehle, who played Elizabeth Bennett to Firth's Mr. Darcy in the BBC version of "Pride and Prejudice", played the role of Logue's wife, Myrtle.(Question compiled by leith90)
7. What was Carol Ann's (Heather O'Rourke) not-too-shocking statement when she answered the call from her ordinarily non-functional toy telephone in the beginning of 1986's "Poltergeist II: The Other Side"?
From Quiz "Flesh Wound II" More Classic Understatements
Answer: "They're baa-aack."
Directed by Brian Gibson, "Poltergeist II" also starred Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams and Oliver Robins, who, along with O'Rourke, reprised their roles as the members of the by-now-somewhat-harried-and-irritable Freeling family. Dominique Dunne (the daughter of deceased investigative journalist Dominick Dunne) was conspicuous in her absence in the role of eldest daughter Dana Freeling, as she was murdered by boyfriend John Thomas Sweeney in 1982. Adding to the now infamous "Poltergeist" franchise 'curse', Heather O'Rourke passed away in 1988 from complications arising from intestinal stenosis, and Julian Beck (the evil Reverend Henry Kane) died in 1985 from stomach cancer. While "Poltergeist II" did well financially, it was not nearly as popular as the 1982 original, but the film was nominated for an Oscar in the category of Visual Effects (but lost to "Aliens").

From Quiz Great Movie Exchanges 19
Answer: The Insider
In this scene, TV show "60 Minutes" producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) is talking to Brown & Williamson research chemist, Dr. Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), while sitting in a car. Bergman is using Wigand's expertise anonymously in explaining some scientific documents for a future "60 Minutes" story, but Wigand is suspicious Bergman has identified him (he hasn't). When the conversation turns to responsibility in business, Wigand says he admires the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, who voluntarily pulled Tylenol off the shelves of every store in America when he found out that somebody had put poison in a few Tylenol bottles. He then sarcastically adds, "Not like the Seven Dwarfs." When Bergman appears puzzled and asks the question in line one, Wigand starts to reply with line two. Bergman suddenly understands and completes Dr. Wigand's sentence with, "Oh, yeh, yeh, yeh, ...and swore under oath that they know nothing about addiction, disease..." This movie tells the true story of whistleblower Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, who agreed to appear on "60 Minutes" and expose Big Tobacco's cynical and deliberate attitude on the addictive drug nicotine in cigarettes, and the resulting power play between Big Tobacco and CBS News (producer of "60 Minutes"). This is also a gut-wrenching story of how the lives of Wigand and his family are affected. As Bergman says later in the movie, "These are ordinary people under extraordinary pressure, Mike."In the 2000 Academy Awards "The Insider" received seven nominations, including Best Picture (but lost to "American Beauty"). A state lawsuit against 13 tobacco companies was filed in Mississippi in 1994, demanding cigarette manufacturers reimburse the state for the cost of health care related to tobacco-caused illnesses. The lawsuit allowed Wigand (who appeared as a witness) to get his testimony on record without violating the confidentiality agreement he had signed (this case resulted in the tobacco companies paying a $246 billion settlement to Mississippi and the other states who joined this lawsuit). Michael Moore, the Attorney General of Mississippi at the time, plays himself in those scenes. On-air interviewer Mike Wallace is played by Christopher Plummer and the resemblance is remarkable.

From Quiz Great Movie Exchanges 18
Answer: Sweet Home Alabama
This exchange occurs twice in this movie with the same two characters both times, but their lines are reversed in the two scenes. "Sweet Home Alabama" tells the story of Melanie Smooter (Reese Witherspoon), who marries her Alabama sweetheart Jake Perry (Josh Lucas), but some time later starts divorce proceedings to dissolve the marriage. She moves from Alabama to New York City, uses the last name Carmichael, makes up untrue details about her past and tries to distance herself from her Alabama roots. After returning home to Alabama on a brief trip to iron out details for her impending marriage to handsome celebrity catch Andrew Hennings (Patrick Dempsey), she gradually realizes she really does love Jake best. In this scene (at the end of the movie) Melanie is embracing Jake on a beach in the rain after breaking off her marriage to Andrew Hennings at the last minute (the guests were already at the ceremony). She learned at the ceremony that she had never signed the divorce papers from her younger days' marriage to Jake and now realizes she really does love him. He says line one, and she replies with line two. This movie won several minor awards in 2003, but no Oscars. An added plus in this movie is hearing the great driving chords of the song "Sweet Home Alabama." The coon dog cemetery shown in "Sweet Home Alabama" is a real place, but is actually located in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

Answer: The Miracle Worker
In this scene Annie Sullivan (Anne Bancroft) is reporting to Kate Keller (Inga Swenson) about her progress at breaking blind and deaf young Helen Keller (Patty Duke) of years of uncorrected bad habits. Annie says line one and a surprised Mrs. Keller asks line two. Annie adds, "The room's a wreck, but her napkin is folded." For years Helen had been permitted to wander around the dinner table and help herself by hand from everybody's plate and Annie was determined to break her of this. The confrontation between the two was a battle royal, but Annie won. "The Miracle Worker" tells the true story of how 20-year-old Annie Sullivan was hired by the Keller family, just after the U.S. Civil War, as a last resort to teach their young daughter Helen how to communicate and live civilly. The Kellers were at wits end about what to do with Helen and Annie's success probably saved Helen from being sent to an asylum.In the 1963 Academy Awards "The Miracle Worker" won two Oscars, including Anne Bancroft for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Patty Duke for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. It was also nominated in three other categories that it did not win. Years later (1979), in an American TV production of "The Miracle Worker", Patty Duke played Annie Sullivan and Melissa Gilbert played Helen Keller. The real life Helen Keller went on to become the first blind and deaf person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree (from Radcliffe College). She traveled the world (including meeting King George and Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace in England in 1931), was a prolific author and campaigned for women's suffrage and workers' rights.

Answer: Fatal Attraction
In this scene lawyer Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) is having dinner with copy editor Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) when Dan's wife is out of town. Dan has just met Alex at a party and now has run into her again. He says line one and she replies with line two. Their small talk leads to a brief affair, after which Alex becomes obsessed with Dan. When Dan is annoyed that Alex has shown up at his apartment, she says, "Well, what am I supposed to do? You won't answer my calls, you change your number. I mean, I'm not gonna be ignored, Dan!" Then, in a chilling turn of events, she begins to stalk Dan and his family.In the 1988 Academy Awards "Fatal Attraction" was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture but lost out to "The Last Emperor". The American Film Institute list of "100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains" had Alex Forrest as villain number 7 (the top four villains are Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs", Norman Bates from "Psycho", Darth Vader from "The Empire Strikes Back" and The Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz"). The term "bunny boiler" has come to mean an obsessive, psychopathic female who stalks a lover who has spurned her (from the infamous scene in this movie where Alex boils the pet rabbit of Dan's little daughter).

Answer: Paper Moon
In this scene the truck belonging to con man Moses "Moze" Pray (Ryan O'Neal) has quit just outside Joplin, Missouri, after he dropped off young Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal, who is Ryan's real-life daughter) at her aunt's house. In the events leading up to this scene, Moze has agreed to deliver Addie to her aunt, after her mother died. However, once she is there, Addie decides she'd rather be with Moze, conning strangers with imprinted bibles. When Moze spots her running after him he disgustedly says line one. Addie defiantly replies with line two. In the 1974 Academy Awards 10-year-old Tatum won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She became the youngest winner ever at that time, in a competitive category (although Shirley Temple won an Honorary Award at age six in 1935). In one scene Addie is shown smoking what appears to be a cigarette. However, the cigarette was made out of lettuce and contained no nicotine.

The animated film "Bambi" was produced in 1942 by Walt Disney. It was directed by David Hand and written by Felix Salten (the novel), Larry Morey (the story adaptation) and Perce Pearce (the story direction). It is a wonderful story of the adventures of a fawn named Bambi, and his friends Thumper, Flower, Friend Owl and Faline. The film shows exquisite animation through the journey of Bambi as he grows up, falls in love and becomes a strong buck. There are heartbreaking events and heartwarming scenes throughout the movie.Thumper says this wonderful quote to Bambi, as they discover the frozen pond. Thumper pounds his foot on the ice and wiggles his little nose as he coaxes Bambi to step foot on the ice. Bambi slides and wobbles. His unsteady legs go every which way. Eventually, Thumper gets Bambi back on his feet and pushes him along the ice. This is when Bambi see Faline, the immediate love of his life.Quoted by Funnytrivianna

Answer: William Holden/"Bridge on the River Kwai"
William Holden portrays American Navy Commander Shears. In a conversation with Colonel Nicholsen (played by Alec Guiness) he tries to stress the importance of the Japanese war prisoners being treated like soldiers while they're being forced to build a bridge. The entire quote is "I hope they can remain soldiers, Colonel. As for me, I'm just a slave, a living slave." The movie is a fictional account of a bridge being built by POWs as part of the Burma railway in WWII. It was filmed mostly in present day Sri Lanka. The movie won several Academy Awards including Best Picture. Alec Guiness won the Best Actor Oscar. William Holden did not receive an Oscar for his performance. Born William Franklin Beedle Jr. in Illinois, Holden's first major film role was in 1939's "Golden Boy", a movie about a boxer who becomes a violinist.

Answer: Under Siege
In this scene an angry Commander Krill, dressed as a drag queen (Gary Busey), shouts line one and terrorist William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones), calmly replies with line two. Krill has just read his personnel evaluation, retrieved from the safe of Captain Adams (Patrick O'Neal) after the Captain has been killed. In the events leading up to this scene, the battleship USS Missouri is to be decommissioned and the ship's crew is about to celebrate the birthday of Captain Adams. They've hired a band led by Strannix to be brought aboard, along with former Playboy playmate Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak), who is to jump out of a cake and dance. However, Strannix is really a terrorist who plans to take over the ship and then sell the Tomahawk missiles on board. In the 1993 Academy Awards "Under Siege" was nominated for two awards but didn't win either. The real USS Missouri has been refurbished and is on permanent public display in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii next to the USS Arizona memorial.

Answer: Casino
In the events leading up to this scene, skillful gambling handicapper Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) agrees to manage the Tangiers casino in Las Vegas for mobsters. In this scene he has detected a team of two cheating at the game of blackjack (one partner could see a dealer's hole card from another table and signals the high-stakes partner with an electronic leg taping device). Rothstein pulls the signaler into a back room and has his men break the man's hand with several hammer blows. Then the man's partner is escorted in. The signaler cries to his partner, "Look what they did to my hand, man!" Rothstein then says line one and the scared partner replies with line two. In the 1996 Academy Awards, Sharon Stone (she played call girl/wife Ginger McKenna Rothstein) was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role but lost the Oscar to Susan Sarandon in "Dead Man Walking." Director Martin Scorsese stated that he created the "head-in-the-vise" scene as a sacrifice, certain that it would be censored out. He hoped this scene would draw the censor's attention away from other violent scenes in the movie, but when the MPAA did not object to the vise scene, it was left in. This movie was based on the real lives of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal (the movie character Sam "Ace" Rothstein played by Robert De Niro), Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro (the movie character Nicky Santoro played by Joe Pesci) and Geraldine McGee (the movie character Ginger McKenna played by Sharon Stone).

From Quiz Great Movie Exchanges 11
Answer: The Longest Day
This movie uses an all-star cast and almost three hours of screen time to tell the story of the Normandy beach invasion on June 6, 1944 in World War II. In this scene German Major Werner Pluskat (Hans Christian Blech) has just spotted the Allied invasion fleet in the English Channel from his Atlantic Wall bunker and realizes the Normandy invasion is about to begin. He is warning skeptical German Lt. Colonel Ocker (Peter van Eyck) by telephone, who calmly asks line one. An agitated Pluskat shouts back line two. In the 1963 Academy Awards, "The Longest Day" won two Oscars and was nominated for three others, including Best Picture (but lost to "Lawrence of Arabia"). Former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was willing to play himself in the film, but it was decided it would be too difficult for makeup artists to make him appear young enough to play his WWII self. Instead, the part went to set designer Henry Grace. He had never acted in a movie before, but he had a remarkable resemblance to the young Ike. Comparing the Normandy invasion beach scenes in this movie and those in "Saving Private Ryan" shows how much censorship standards changed between 1962 and 1998 (their respective release dates).

Answer: Rambo: First Blood
In the events leading up to this scene, ex-Green Beret John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) walks into a small Washington town to look up a buddy from the Vietnam War, only to learn that he is the last surviving member of his unit. Local sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) doesn't like his drifter look and gives him a ride out of town. However, Rambo gets his back up over being forced to do something and he walks back to town in search of something to eat. Sheriff Teasle then arrests him for vagrancy and brings him to the local jail, where his deputies try to force-shave him. Sight of the razor causes Rambo to flash back to memories of Communist torture in a prison camp in Vietnam. He goes berserk, breaks free, commandeers a motorcycle and flees into the nearby mountain. As the police force try to capture him, Rambo uses his well-honed survival and combat skills to cripple them and warn Teasle to leave him alone. Rambo's former commanding officer Colonel Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna) arrives, trying to negotiate a truce by radio. In this scene Trautman says line one and Rambo replies with line two. This movie had several sequels, which put Sylvester Stallone in the unusual position of having two mega-hit series at the same time (his "Rocky" movie sequels were occurring during this same time period).

Answer: The Green Mile
In this scene, Depression-era death row prison guard, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), takes custody of huge prisoner John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), who is accused of murdering two little girls (he is later seen by the guards to be innocent). Edgecomb asks the first line as he checks his clipboard, after he and several other guards escort Coffey to his new cell, and Coffey responds with line two. Coffey's magical powers then lead to some amazing events. In the 1995 Academy Awards, "The Green Mile" was nominated for four awards, including Best Picture, but didn't win any. Best Picture that year went to "American Beauty." The scene showing Coffey watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing (in the 1935 movie "Top Hat") to the song "Cheek to Cheek" and the line "I'm in Heaven..." is a real tearjerker. This movie is based on a Stephen King novel.

Answer: Saving Private Ryan
In the events leading up to this scene a clerk, responsible for sending out death notification telegrams after the D-Day invasion in World War II, notices that one mother will get three telegrams at the same time, announcing three of her four sons have been killed. General Omar Bradley (Harve Presnell) decides the fourth son is to be pulled out of the fighting and Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and a squad of soldiers are sent to try and locate him. In this scene Captain Miller finds him and says, "James, I'm here to tell you your brothers were killed in combat. They're dead." Private Ryan (Matt Damon) asks the question in the first line and Captain Miller replies with the second. In the 1999 Academy Awards "Saving Private Ryan" won five Oscars and was nominated for six more, including Best Picture. Best Picture that year was won by "Shakespeare in Love." This movie was based on the true story of the Niland brothers. One was killed on D-Day while in the 82nd Airborne, one was killed on Utah Beach with the 4th Infantry Division, and a third was reported killed that same week in Burma (but later turned up alive). Mrs. Niland received all three death notification telegrams on the same day. The fourth son was serving with the 101st Airborne and was ordered pulled out of the front lines, but couldn't be found. He survived anyway.
