I'm beginning to think we're being punked.

No, its a real movie.

The quote is not from Keanu Reeve's character, but the film does contain IMHO Reeve's finest performance.

OK, I have never seen the film, so I have no idea if this is the correct movie but it fits both the word count and character count you gave.

I Love You to Death

Now I came up with this after you mentioned Keanu and just went to IMDB and looked for his films with 5 word titles. So, I think this has to be it...but if this is it I am surprised you did not think this was difficult. Who says this line in the film and why do they reference Abraham Lincoln?

 

[sleroi]

You are correct.

The first attempt on Kevin Klines life is an inept guy in an Abraham Lincoln mask. Kline easily thwarts him, and as hes chasing him away Kline yells "I'll get you you Abraham Lincon son of a bitch." In a very comical Italian accent.

I saw this opening weekend and found it hysterically funny. Its one of the few movies that even though I know all the jokes I still laugh out loud every time I watch it. So many great lines. And everyone in the cast nails it.

I guess I'm surprised this movie isn't better known because it came out shortly after A Fish Called Wanda, which was such a hit, Kline in particular.

Well, I believe that the proper wine pairing when you are eating a census taker is Chianti.

Well, I think this film flopped at the box office when it was released. I don't think many people have seen it since then. It does have a great cast but has never been released on a blu-ray and I don't see it popping up on wish list's from folks...not that those things have anything to do with the quality of the film.

I would call this picture obscure though, even more so than Flesh for Frankenstein which popped up in this thread as well. At least that film is a cult film and monster movie which always have their fans but I Love You to Death seems like a forgotten picture. Certainly not one I would expect people to have seen over and over and can quote from it.

In fact, you may be the only person on the planet that has seen it multiple times and can quote from the film...or at least the only person on HTF with that kind of love for this picture.

So, if we had an Obscurity Meter with 1 being the least obscure and 10 being the most obscure...I Love You to Death would probably rate an 8 or 9.

That was a super tough one that I don't think anybody would have got because I think most people never saw the film.

As an example, I love the film Winter Kills. It has an amazing cast which you would think would cause the film to be more well known but it was a major flop and very few people I think have seen it. It also has all kinds of quotable lines that if you have seen the film you would remember but I would not quote the film in this thread because my guess would be nobody would have a clue what I was quoting. So, great film, very quotable...to fans of it like me...but the rest of the planet would have no idea.

I'd never heard of it until just now.

Hi Eve. Respectfully, let's stay on track please.

1) Reggie correctly solved the last quote and so the next one should have come from him. If we want, maybe we can introduce an option to "pass" which would allow anyone so inclined to introduce the next quote. I would personally prefer not to do this as I suspect we'll eventually end up with multiple quotes in play, which might become confusing and difficult to manage.

2) We are looking for movie titles, not words spoken in particular quotes. In this case I'm pretty sure the film is Silence of the Lambs, which would be notated as follows. _______ __ ___ _____ (17)
