Another one, just seen:
 

"Japonee-man... no come at night..."

"Japonee-man... no come at night..."
 

Excellent! I have this one in my video library for the aircraft footage as well as being a hellava film.

"Scratch one flat top"
 

Movie please??

Re: "Scratch one flat top"
 

Hmmm...the original Midway, when Yorktown got blown out of the water by Divine Wind Bakus?

Re: Re: "Scratch one flat top"
 

Right film, wrong ship methinks Skags, probably Hiryu. The first ever naval engagement where the ships never engaged each other.

All set up by the fateful decode "AF running short of fresh water". . . . . . . . . .

Ah so, round eye. Purple Code and Navaho communicators.

That's the chappie.

O.K. an easy one
 

British, B&W, early 1950s

"I'd like to know exactly what connection you think there is between shooting a rifle and ships gunnery".

Roger in Vegas

And now for something completely different . . .
 

"I have but three orders of march. When I signal you to come, you come. When I signal you to charge, you charge. When I signal you to run, you follow me and run like hell."

AND, if that doesn't work, try:

"He says he was close enough to smell the stink of many white men."

Big hint: it's not a War Deuce movie.

Ah, Humphrey Go-Kart; and no one ever speaks the line "Play it again Sam". . . . . . . . .

CASABLANCA. Easy one... :p

Jeez, talk about timing, McStolly... to the minute... :)

I think I know Roger's but I'm having a brain fart right now (been at the Kangaroo reunion all day, too much damned driving to boot).

Bob's quote has lost me entirely.

Re: Unusual movie quote
 

Oh dear, not one historical taker!
Blohm & Voss shipyard - Hamburg
Feb 14 1939
Launching of Bismarck
The speaker of course is Mr Schickelgruber.

One of my all-time favourites.

C'mon, Jif, you can do it!
 

Hint: this a three-way conversation:

"Move 'em out, Lieutenant."
"Which way, Captain?"
"To Mexico, you bloody idiot?"

Or:

"When I left, Lieutenant Graham, I gave you an order."
"No sir, when you left you gave me a command. After that I gave the orders."

Or finally:

"Mr. Potts, I'm a long way from Gettysburg."

Some of us believe that this is a truly excellent film, very underrated by the film glitterati.

Bob:bang:

I believe the major was also quoted recently from a speech with "from my cold dead hands".

O.K. I'm gonna give ya a hint.
 

"I'd like to know exactly what connection you think there is between shooting a rifle and ships gunnery".

This film had one title for UK release and a different title for USA release.

It's the only film I've ever seen where a twin 40mm Bofors was fired at a single man.

herr pear's puzzler
 

the only one I can think of is when Jeffrey Hunter is on the island shooting at the ship with a rifle and they shoot back with bigger guns. Released in England as "Single Handed" and in the colonies as "Sailor of the King"

BINGO!

Sailor of The King
 

If this is the movie I think it is he is actualy shooting at a pre-war German friend who is over the side of the ship painting. He knows that it is his friend because of a song that he is singing.

US Cavalry
 

Sergeant: "There are ladies present - you watch them words".
From the ranks: "You watch them grammar".

Movie?

Not WWII or earlier big conflicts, but:

"Well Pilgrim I see you are still protecting the ladies"
US Western, Guess Who.
Bill

Them grammar?
 

Piece of cake this one! "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," the centerpiece of John Ford's trilogy about the US cavalry. These were based on short stories written by James Warner Bellah, about the only writer I have ever found who understood that the US Army once had a sense of regimental tradition as strong as that of the British or any Commonwealth army. By the way, when he wrote those stories he was living about a ten-minute walk from where I am sitting now.

No takers on "Mr. Potts, I'm a long way from Gettysburg."

Happy Cgristmas to all!!

James Colburn, Charlton Heston, Richard Harris and Jim Hutton in Major Dundee

Re: Them grammar?
