    I don't think it would have been a dead giveaway....given that I have not even HEARD of that movie!

    Well, it is around 25 years old so that rather limits the number of people here who would have seen it. On the other hand, I have posted quotes from 70 year old films and they were guessed pretty quickly.

    I think that the "I like to watch" quote would have clued me in to the film but I don't know if I would have remembered the title. It has been a long time since I saw it.

    I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned Peter Sellers :) (and television was a clue of course...)

    Anyway, onwards:

    That's from "Just Cause;" saw it this weekend. It was the "arse" that gave it away, really.

    Next up:

    Quite right, although a real giveaway would have been if I had spelled it 'arshe'.

    As for your quote, I have no idea, and it seems nobody else has one either. Hint time?

    Okay, hint: The movie takes place at a well-known American university.

    Sounds like Gossip to me, though I can't recall the university itself. that was a damn good movie, very well-made.

    Gossip?! Not another obscure dud!

    How about some films that I've even heard of? I watch loads of films but I've never seen half the ones you guys go on about.

    My research indicates that Gossip (if that is the answer) grossed the princely sum of $5m at the US box office in 2000 which is fair indication that not very many people have seen it.

    Do you people live in the DVD bargain bin or something?

    It is Gossip, and it's actually not too bad of a movie at all. And my "bargain bin" is HBO. ;) The University was NYU, and Aldazar is up.

    edit - and I don't give a rat's ass how much a movie grosses. I like what I like.

    "Obscure movie" my fat behind.

    Methinks Harbourboy needs to watch more films. :p

    How's this for a possibly non-obscure (hopefully) movie?

    Its been two days so I'm going to throw out an easy one:

    "I didn't *break* it, I was merely testing its durability, and I *placed* it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I wanted it to be near its family."

    I watched about a 100 movies at the cinema last year (so about 2 a week). Not sure if I want to be watching any 'more' than that, Aldazar! :)

    That notwithstanding, dman18's 'easy one' is still beyond me.

    well saw this old movie some days ago, and this quote I just love. thise movie by the way, has the coolest laser pistols ever.

    "I'm in command of 18 competitively selected super-fit physical specimens with an average age of 24.6 who have been locked up in hyperspace for 378 days. It would have served you right if he... they... oh go on, get out of here before I have you run out of the area under guard - and then I'll put more guards on the guards. "
