AJDaGreat12/03/2003

Mmm, I'm pretty sure that the "Odd Couple" line is spoken by Oscar Madison, Walter Matthau's character. I could be wrong though.

Another guess: Is the "transvestites" line from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"?

It is in fact from Stand by Me... it just took me forever to edit this list. Sorry. :)

#41 Robin Hood men in tights i think -another gr8 film!
#40 Truman in the truman show - pretty good film considering i don't usually like jim carrey's stuff
#32 i think might be patch adams but was quite a while ago that i saw it

xfanatic5001/20/2004

Wow! I'm impressed. Right on all counts except one. Line #32 was not from Patch Adams.

missmuffet01/20/2004

Damn, I'm sure I recognise that line!!
The Cheese line from Benny and Joon tends to stick in my mind!!
Looked at some of the others which had already been guessed and don't think I'd of known many of them so thanx all who left me some which I did know!

xfanatic5001/21/2004

A hint on the line you think you've heard before: It's not spoken in a romantic sense... hope that helps. :)
