It was this quiz show on tv the other night called "All vs All" (in Sweden), and up came a question about sentences or phrases from movies.
They had 1 minute to get as many correct answers as possible and when the host said an expression they had to respond what movie it was taken from.
Of all knowledge in the world to me that must be trickiest. How is the brain constructed to remember what someone said in a certain movie? I can't think of something less important.
I can't say I know ANY phrase or sentence from any movie I've seen ever. Not one. How is my brain constructed?
What about you?

Same here musik , can't for the life of me remember any film quotes so must be a brain thing. I reckon if i had a decent brain then i could remember some but until then i'll just be blissfully unaware of any as i while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain.
Anyway, things to do ....so little to do and so much time (strike that, reverse it) but don't worry...i'll be back.

There are memorable quotes from some movies, my favourite is from young Frankenstein, " give me a hand with the bags" , Marty Feldman replied I'll take the blonde you take the brunette . Cracks me up every time

Damn you chard, damn all you butchers. This is a Welsh regiment, man - though there are some foreigners from England in it, mind. I am Jones from Builth Cywyd. He is Jones from Builth Wells. There are four more Joneses in C Company. Confusing, isn't it, Dutchy?

In the tv studio one woman responded and got 11 correct answers to the sentences from movies the tv host presented in just one minute. On some of them she only had to think for about 2-3 seconds.
Truly impressed! A mystery to me.
I wonder if such a person always remember what people in general are saying or if it's just the movies.
I remember very well myself what people are saying irl, but in a movie? No way, it's fiction(!) for Heaven's sake. I enjoy it while I watch it, but have forgotten the whole thing as soon as I've walked out of the cinema.

Clearly such a well known and fascinating film. Its strange to think that its now 55 years since its release.

"Looks bad in the Newspapers, and upsets the civilians at their breakfast" Fabulous. And with the intro voiceover by Richard Burton. Perfect. I saw it at the ABC Cinebowl in Hanley.

A bit more obscure possibly. But also very British.
