Question: Do you guys have any rule about knowing the trivia answer vs. looking it up?

(I haven't seen Wee Willie Winkie, but found the answer in one of my Movie Guides.)

You're not supposed to google anything. If you have books on movies, I guess that would be OK. With this kind of question, you either know it or you don't. If it looks like people are stumped, the guy who posed the question usually gives hints. I think I'm gonna have to do that with this one, but I'll wait a little longer to see if somebody gets it.

Ken is right. No Googling. I would consider looking it up in a book the same as Googling. Hints are appropriate.

Can you name the movie this dialogue comes from?

Officer Olson: "Well, what'd this guy look like anyways?"

Mr. Mohra: "Oh, he's a little guy, kind of funny looking."

Officer Olson: "Ah ha. In what way?"

Mr. Mohra: "Oh, just in a general kind of way."

You guys are great!

The Knute Rockne = "Win One for the Gipper" from Knute Rockne All American (Correct)

Lou Gerig = "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" from The Pride of the Yankeer. (Correct)

Field of Dreams, League of their Own, Jerry McGuire, Rocky (Correct)

Four remaining:

Baseball Hint - Not a baseball movie, but perhaps the most quoted of all. Getting the name of the film should be awarded Trivia World Champ for Life.


Boxing Hint - Not a boxing film, but #3 on the list of top 100 quotes and about #8 all time Top 100 Films.


Golf Hint - A comedy


Winter "sports" (sledding) Hint - Not a sports film, but #17 on the list of top 100 quotes and about #1 all time Top 100 Films.(1941)

Caddyshack............

It'a a cinderella story?

I don't know how to declare a winner. Great questions. Maybe I'll just let you post again.

2 more down, 2 more to go.

Caddy Shack is correct: "Cinderella Story. Outta nowhere. A former groundskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac....It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

On the Waterfront: "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."

Baseball another hint - The quote is very long, many words.

Winter "sports" (sledding) another hint - The quote is very short, one word.

This has me thinking. Hockey -Love Story (Ryan O'Neil was a college hockey player) Love is never having to say your sorry.

Not a great movie and maybe in at least one maybe more of their movies Abbott & Costello, Who's on First.

Forest Gump- life is a box of chocolates-Running Movie and had football and ping pong

I feel the need for speed-Volleyball-Top Gunn

Some of these are probably not on the list, but you got my mined going.

Forest Gump and Love story got to be on the list

J3, the movie-dude,

Bill Durham - great quote, but didn't make the Top 100 list.

Rosebud is correct!

As far as I can tell, the first movie with Abbott and Costello's routine (Who's on First?.... ) was "The Naughty Nineties"

I tried to get either sports movies (A League of their own) or a quote about sports (On the waterfront). So that's why I didn't put Love Story, Forrest Gump, and Top Gun on my sports list (they are all on the Top 100 list).

There are at least 2 quotes from the Top 100 Quotes that were ad-libs. Name them.


Hints: Both were spoken and created by men who are considered two of the very best actors. Both quotes were repeated when spoken in the films. The films came out in 1976 and 1969

OOOOOPS.

I just read that the quote I posted is not an ad-lib. The producer said it was a myth that "I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" was an ad-lib.

Sorry guys. Someone else is up.
