Which movie can you recite by heart?

Hannah_Alumni

When I posted about The Greatest Romance Movies of All Time?! on Valentines Day, I was scrolling through Instagram later that day and realised it was the anniversary of one of the best Valentine's Day releases of all time... Hot Fuzz.

Now my brother and I, love this film and I can recite a lot of it by heart. Quite often, my brother and I do end up speaking to each other using random phrases from the movie.

It got me thinking, is there a film that you either love so much, have watched so much (possibly because of a third party influence) or made such an impression on you, that you could recite most of it by heart?

Not really a full movie, no. But odd lines sometimes stick in my head and the one i often use is:


"Help is on the way!!"


From mrs doubtfire. It is in the restaurant scene near the end of the movie where Robin williams, dressed as mrs doubtfire rushes over to a choking pierce brosnan to perform the Heimlich manoevre!


So funny😂😂😂😂


I do love that film!


Mrs doubtfire has a Scottish accent and i now live in scotland - have done for 40 years but still have my English accent. So, when i do say "help is on the way!"


I try to do my best Scots!

Haha! that's a classic line. I feel Robin Williams is one of those actors who has a bank of iconic movie lines. I always loved "Hellloooo" with the whipped cream face mask

I can quote a lot of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but I can't say I know them by heart. 

It would be a fun challenge to try it!

I can quote, although not by heart, Mammia Mia and hocus pocus, mainly because they were on a lot as a child, and they were, and still are, my movies of choice.

As with others, couldn't do a whole film.  But reckon I can do most of the one-liners from Die Hard, Indiana Jones & Bond movies.

Disney's Robin Hood,we watched it four times a day for almost a year when our son was a tot.

I can recite lines from the first 3 star wars movies,(unsurprisingly) great thread! love Simon Pegg movies, the cornetto trilogy is a favourite love hot fuzz!

Seeing @Grinchy's post there has reminded me that my autistic son used to LOVE the animated dr Seuss animation of Green Eggs and Ham and he could recite/sing the entire opening song word perfect.


It's quite the tongue twister as well!

I don't know all the words but it's the one that starts:


"I frequently think every now and then

Of the glorious food
Of the noble hen

Eggs, eggs

Eee, double gee, ess

Eggs"

There are a few verses and it sounds very impressive to recite in its entirety!

It is amazing what we pick up and remember because of kids!

Dirty Dancing is a favourite off mine.

Nobody puts baby in the corner.

Classic line lol

Not a full movie, but know the Lord of Rings Trilogy pretty well.  Scent of a Woman is another 🙂

My partner was a film buff and could imitate people and he had many hilarious one-liners from movies and could easily recite dialogue from entire scenes. His specialty was Oliver Hardy.  If I was picking at my dinner he would change his voice and sounding just like Bette Davies in Whatever Happened he would say "Blanche, if you don't eat your dinner you won't get any dessert"!  The irony is that we never had dessert anyway!

My quotes and quips are "I wouldn't dream of same" from a Marilyn movie and "I am fraught with anxiety". If someone is stressing me I say "Stop! You are stressing me. I am fraught with anxiety". I think it is from a Bette Davies movie. My other little quip when people are asking too much of me is "I'm like butter. I can only be spread so thinly". It was either a Bette Davies or Judy Garland one-liner. (I think Garland in I could go on singing).

I can recite all of the dialogue and badly sing all of the songs from Liza, 3 weeks at Carnegie Hall! It was a 2 disc cd, but I saw her perform it at The Pallidium. It was magic. I always listen to it at Xmas and have a little singalong.

But I wonder if anyone knows the famous movie in which the one-liner "no one is perfect" comically ends the film? I know the film, but I wonder if you do?

'I was born under a Wandering Star', actually a song sung by Lee Marvin. It's from Paint Your Wagon.

A great watch.

Of course, it's Some Like It Hot!

@Hannah_Scope You've got it in one! But you wouldn't believe how many don't know the answer! Well done...

  That's shocking! It's such a great film! Although if you watch reaction videos on YouTube, some don't realise Jamie Lee Curtis is Tony Curtis's daughter!
