Quiz: Guess the movie.

[jimduncanuk]

You guys have time to watch films?

[fsn]

All excellent guesses, but not Gettysburg, rather more obscure.

I'm thinking quite new; "idjits" makes me think 90s onwards. John Wayne never said "idjits".

Hmmm ... Silverado, Young Guns or the Boring Film With Someone Got Shot by Someone Else and Nobody Would have Watched it if it Didn't Have Brad Pitt in it?

Alternatively Glory but "idjits" doesn't sound right for Glory.

3:10 to Yuma Christian Bale to Russell Crowe (Crowe doesn't have the vocal range to say "idjits".)

Orrr ... The Siege of Jadotville 'cos they're Irish and would say "idjits". Good film BTW.

I'll give you the win
Young Guns II

[fsn]

There was a Young Guns II?

[Ithoriel]

Quite right fsn, my one was indeed Serenity.

Back when I played EVE Online my most used Serenity quote was "Target the Reavers. Target the Reavers! Target everyone! Somebody fire!"

[John Cook]

It is R Lee Ermey.

It's Full Metal Jacket.

It is indeed.  So is 'Five foot nine? I didn't know....'. Full quote 'Five foot nine? I didn't know they stacked s**t that high'.  One of the best Vietnam flims in my view.

[John Cook]

Easy one "Do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea?"

Hint: They're British.

'It wouldn't hurt Sir' - Bridge too Far.  A good movie that could have been great but didn't quite make it, I think.

You're awfully good at this Mr Cook.

You're awfully good at this Mr Cook.

I just love movies, especially westerns and war/military movies.  I think I know the entire script for Zulu, such that I could probably play every part if they ever do it on radio.

[John Cook]

Try this one from one of my favourite films, a stunning military drama.  A clue - it's being said to a young naval officer.

"What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some f*****g courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely."

[fsn]

"Faggoty white uniform" make me think US Navy. 

Obvious first choice is Top Gun or Officer and a Gentleman. Don't remember it in the first, never watched the second, definitely US Naval flyer vibe.

Confrontational so suggests inter-service rivalry - lets out "Flight of the Intruder". Could be "Behind Enemy Lines"? I could hear Gene Hackman saying it, but he was in the Navy in that film. 

Or is it WWII? Pearl Harbour?

Dunno. Give up.

[Ithoriel]

I'm guessing "A Few Good Men"

[fsn]

Oh hang on! Mr Cook is being a bit clever. "Military drama". Mayhap not a "War" film, but one in a military setting - like The Presidio or The General's Daughter.

Courage Under Fire wasn't Navy so A Few Good men then? Sounds like Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise.

Dammit Ithoriel! I was just getting there!

You didn't even show your workings!

"Inferior races spread the contagion of communism"

[Ithoriel]

Suella Braverman?

[Gwydion]

Close, but you'll find the title of the film in Revelations Ch 6, what the Beasts says in vs 1, 3, 5 and 7.


Oh, and how about:

'You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.'?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Easy - DR Starngelove, Maj Bat Guano to one of the P.Sellars charactes

[Elliesdad]

"What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some f*****g courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely."

Well, it sounds like something B*11 Clinton might have said, but I'm not sure about any war movie connection 😉

[flamingpig0]

Suella Braverman?

Suella Braverman?

Whilst there is a certain Savitri Devi energy to Ms Braverman the correct answer is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091251/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0


It isn't easy viewing!
