About This Quiz
Lights dim. The TV standby dot blinks, the group chat’s scrolling. A line lands and your brain already supplies the camera move — the room, the stance, the smirk — before a title card even flashes.
Get ready for black-and-white cool, courtroom heat, alley showdowns, newsroom crackle, multiplex awe. Pep talks bump up against threats; farewells answer opening hellos.
Trust your gut, then double-check the year. When the quote clicks, name the film and keep your streak clean.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room."?
[B] Dr. Strangelove | Kubrick's Cold War farce features Peter Sellers playing multiple roles and a war room where polite generals bicker about Armageddon.
2/16
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"?
[D] Dirty Harry | Clint Eastwood growls as San Francisco cop; the .44 Magnum speech turned him into a pop‑culture tough guy and launched a series of sequels.
3/16
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."?
[A] Dirty Dancing | Patrick Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey over his head to an '80s soundtrack; the film revived interest in mambo and launched Swayze's heartthrob status.
4/16
"Say hello to my little friend!"?
[C] Scarface | Brian De Palma’s cocaine‑fueled epic turned Pacino’s Tony Montana into a cultural icon; his grenade‑launching 'little friend' speech is pure over‑the‑top bravado.
5/16
"We're on a mission from God."?
[B] The Blues Brothers | John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's SNL band wrecks dozens of cop cars to save their orphanage; gospel greats cameo as part of their divine mission.
6/16
"What we've got here is failure to communicate."?
[A] Cool Hand Luke | Paul Newman plays a chain‑gang rebel whose stubborn charm and egg‑eating contest anger the warden; his drawled line became shorthand for bureaucratic nonsense.
7/16
"Sweep the leg."?
[D] Karate Kid | An underdog teen learns wax‑on wisdom from Pat Morita; the Cobra Kai bully ordered to 'sweep the leg' ignites the final crane‑kick showdown.
8/16
"I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"?
[C] There Will Be Blood | Daniel Day‑Lewis channels a ruthless oilman who drinks his rivals’ milkshakes; the line comes from a real Senate speech about drainage laws.
9/16
"Check out the big brain on Brett."?
[B] Pulp Fiction | Tarantino’s intertwining crime tales revived John Travolta’s career; Jules’s mockery of a burger’s metric measurement turned into a meme with Ezekiel 25:17 flourish.
10/16
"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."?
[A] The Silence of the Lambs | Hannibal Lecter’s chilling dinner suggestion won Hopkins an Oscar; his sibilant line joins Chianti and fava beans on the pop‑culture menu.
11/16
"A boy's best friend is his mother."?
[D] Psycho | Hitchcock’s shower‑stabbing classic shocked censors; Norman Bates’ devotion to Mother launched the slasher genre and forced audiences to forever knock before entering the bathroom.
12/16
"Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"?
[C] Planet of the Apes | Charlton Heston’s astronaut discovers Earth ruled by simians; his contemptuous line climaxed a twist ending that left audiences reevaluating bananas and the Statue of Liberty.
13/16
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."?
[A] Apocalypse Now | Coppola’s hallucinatory Vietnam epic mixes Wagner and helicopters; Robert Duvall’s surf‑loving colonel weirdly equates napalm with breakfast in a line both macho and absurd.
14/16
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."?
[B] The Princess Bride | This fairy‑tale parody mashes swashbuckling, romance and rodents; Mandy Patinkin’s revenge mantra turned Inigo into a pop‑culture catchphrase machine.
15/16
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."?
[C] Airplane | Zucker‑Abrahams‑Zucker’s disaster parody deadpans absurdity; Leslie Nielsen’s admonishment to stop calling him Shirley revived his career and still ruins serious conversations.
16/16
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."?
[D] National Lampoon's Animal House | John Belushi leads a toga‑loving fraternity of misfits; Dean Wormer’s insult became a cautionary motto for campus party animals everywhere.
