Since the games are so quiet... is cheating still bad? Or is looking it up the same as being a detective and in the spirit of the forum?  My investigations suggest it's Hannah and Her Sisters. |

Yep, you got it, Josie!
I don't know. I try not to "cheat". But...why not.

I felt bad doing it too. Won't do it again.  Here's an easy one, just because I happened to remember it the other day: |

No, no, don't feel bad. It would have gone on forever otherwise. You were absolutely right to google it!
But this quote----some movie about people who don't need roads but would still bring up the existence of roads, like one person had no idea what was going on.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

 Okay, maybe not as obvious as I thought. No, sorry... it's about 40 years more recent than your guess. The first of a trilogy. |

Okay, a late '60's movie made outside Pittsburgh: "They're coming to get you, Barbara!"
"Stop it! You're ignorant!"
"They're coming for you, Barbara!"
"Stop it! You're acting like a child!"
"Look, there comes one of them now!"
"He'll hear you!"
"Here he comes now! I'm getting out of here!" |

Okay. Pioneering zombie movie. Horror movies were considered children's movies when this came out. Roger Ebert saw it in a theater full of children and was outraged.
Here's another quote. The sheriff is interviewed on TV news:
"Are they slow-moving, chief?"
"Yeah. They're dead. They're all messed up."

Takes place mostly in one house surrounded by friends and associates of the director playing zombies, but they get news on TV and radio:
"It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder. A widespread investigation of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead have been returning to life and seeking human victims. It's hard for us here to be reporting this to you, but it does seem to be a fact." |

Poor guy tries to get everyone to hide in the basement. They make him the bad guy but he was right in the end: "Look! You two can do whatever you like! I'm going back down to the cellar, and you'd better decide! 'Cause I'm gonna board up that door, and I'm not going to unlock it again no matter what happens!"
"Now wait a minute, Mr. Cooper."
"NO, I'm not going to wait! I've made my decision, now you make yours!"
Originally called Night of the Ghouls. The distributor changed it to Night of the something else but didn't include copyright notice under the title, so the movie made millions but the producers got nothing because it was public domain. And when they sued the distributor, they declared bankruptcy.

Okay, here's from a 2008 movie. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams discuss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sounds kind of insane taken out of context:
"How can you be so sure that he is lying?"
"Experience."
"You just don't like him! You don't like it that he uses a ballpoint pen. You don't like it that he takes 3 lumps of sugar in his tea. You don't like it that he likes Frosty the Snowman and you are letting that convince you? Of something that's terrible... Just terrible...Well, I like Frosty the Snowman!"

Kind of a grim drama set in a Catholic school in the Bronx in the 1960's. Nuns with the worst-looking habits:
"What have you seen?"
"It is unsettling to look at people with suspicion. I feel less close to God."
"When you take a step to address wrongdoing, you are taking a step away from God, but in his service. What have you seen?" |

Meryl Streep as a nun who puts her horrible personality to to good use when she suspects Philip Seymour Hoffman of molesting the school's first Black student. Here Hoffman talks to a nun played by Amy Adams:
"There are people who go after your humanity, Sister, that tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don't believe it. It's an old tactic of cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue." |

Kind of an epilogue. The two nuns talk:
"Did you ever prove it?"
"To whom?"
"Anyone but yourself?"

From Philip Seymour Hoffman's sermon that first makes Meryl Streep keep an eye on him:
"Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone."

Only the second movie I've seen with a character named "Aloysius", played by Meryl Streep in this movie and by William Demarest in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, but I don't think it's a unisex name since the other nun is named James. I don't know why the movie was called what it was. Based on a play. Tagline: There is no evidence. There are no witnesses. But for one, there is no DOUBT.Okay, last one. Last line in the movie: "Sister James..."
"What is it, Sister?"
"I have DOUBTs. I have such DOUBTs." |
