Not something like Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park, right?

Definitely not.

I thought of it like that too. It's a voiceover while they're showing something, isn't it? There isn't a guy on the screen saying it.

But isn't the end of Momento at the beginning? ;)

re: Identity...

since I own it, I didn't have to rent it... anyway, wrong movie!

alright, time for another guess. I'm thinkin' that the person doing the talking is Bruce Willis... and probably in something like 12 Monkees???

No.

It's not Identity b/c I've heard the line and not see that movie.

We've established that already.

You need to change the thread title to "The worlds toughest movie quote." I have looked all over the web, and asked all of my friends, and still no luck. I give up.

I think it's pretty clear that the quote isn't accurate or else someone would have been able to find it by now

If I still can't find it after I get a list of all the movies I've rented recently, then I'll concede defeat. But not before! If you guys want to bail, I do thank all of you for your help and suggestions.

hey Brandon, any help on who you think the actor/actress is that's doing the quoting???

Well, I am certain that the voice is male. No idea of who though.

Is the guys voice slighty gruff with a little accent, sort of like Willem Dafoe?

No, no accent. The voice is very smooth. It does remind me of Leonard from Memento. Just the tone of the voice.

I'm not trying to say it was misquoted but it sounds a lot like...

"whats in a name? Maybe nothing's in a name, maybe a name is just a name..."

except... replace the word "name" with "number"!
:D

isnt that from Romeo and Juliet?

Even if I somehow messed up the words, its not the movie I'm after.

Brandon, you sure it wasn't Independence Day???

you're getting obsessed brandon:)...i'll have a chat with your buddy at the video store sometime in the near future to see if he would have any clue...

OK, at first I was totally lost, but after reading the posts, I'm now almost completely certain it was indeed Memento, during one of those cut-scenes in which Leonard is talking on the phone with an unknown listener, in black and white. I can almost see it in my head completely.

But I could just be convincing myself of all this, but I'm pretty damn sure.

You REALLY need to watch Memento man, I think thats it.

Also, I have one of these of my own, and I don't think it would be best to start an entirely new thread. My quote can wait til after brandon's to be indentified if need be, but it goes like this:
"...then you wake up one morning and the President is making decisions without your permission, that son of a bitch, how dare he..."
and what's messed up is that I know that Gene Hackman said it, but I can't place the movie to save my life and it's driving me insane. And my quote may be a LITTLE off, but not much at all.

Well I just read the entire script for Memento online and it's definitely not that movie. Sorry.

Enemy of the State?

/threadjack

Conspiracy Theory?

Are you positive it's from a movie you rented? Perhaps you could have seen this watching cable or something at a friends house. For the love of sanity man, gives something more to work with. I vote to you should call the rental store and get a list of your last rentals..0or..or...I'll come kick your ass. heh : )

I've been following this thread for a while, and while I'm sure that I've also heard the quote... I think that it sounds like something Kevin Spacey would say in a movie..... Although memento really sounded like it could have been it...

Well damn dude, I really thought that Memento was it. I have shamed my family.
Oh well.
As for my quote, it wasn't Enemy of the State.

Maybe American Beauty? That's the only Kevin Spacey movie i can think of off the top of my head where he does voice over.

Kevin Spacey it could have been. "The Life of David Gale" maybe?

Are you sure it's not a Bond movie? It sounds like someone might be saying something "witty" about 007.

Sounds like that movie, altho no amount of Google or IMDB yeilded any results. Seems like something he would say in that movie tho.

It is NOT a Bond movie. I haven't seen any of those in many years.

Anything else that you remember about the movie? Character appearance, plot, setting...anything at all?

Is it the movie with Mel Gibson... Payback maybe?

One of the Matrix movies?

I seriously doubt it.

This thread is so depressing. I keep coming back hoping for resolution and it never comes. I don't even recognize the quote, but for some reason I keep hoping someone figures it out.

I dunno, but I still think it is from Seven.
Spoiler: Kevin Spacey is in Seven, as the killer in the end

I still adamently think it is from Seven.
