My proposition is to post a line from a movie, one you think most people would know. (not too obscure)

The goal is to name the movie. You can add who said it, the character or the actor or both if you want.

I'll start with an easy one to get this going.

A thought just occurred to me: is it Dr Strangelove?

It isn't a war film. In colour. Features quite a number of famous actors and it's not Dr Strangelove.

''Colonel Jessep, did you order the Code Red?''

That will lead to the very very famous quote that this movie is known for.
The writer of the script later wrote a very successful (recentish) TV series.

No bells ringing yet. Hmm.

Made after 2000? 1990s? 1980s? Earlier?

Okay, THAT line I know! :) Unfortunately, I can't remember the movie's name, but I *know* it had Tom Cruise. Maybe? Um, death, soldiers, killing, under order...somebody else, please finish this for me :)

Yeh Bela, that's the one.

Here's the famous line that everyone will know?

It was written in 1992 by Aaron Sorkin who later went on to write and produce the West Wing.

Is it "A few good men" ? I recall that Tom Cruise featured into that movie

Aug-10-2013 00:32

Well, I'm no good with names, but if you're sure, it must be the one :)

Aug-11-2013 00:43

The movie was A Few Good Men.
