Movie Tag Line Game

[Bozos of Bones]

OK, just to stop this now, this is Movie Tag Line Game. You know what's a Tag Line? Pick up a movie case. See the title of the movie? What else do you see? The little line(or more) that says something about the title? That's a Tag Line. Phillip's and Xen's are both random quotes, not Tag Lines. Stuff like "The thing that won't die, in the nightmare that won't end." from The Terminator(it had two taglines, other was "Your future is in his hands."). You get a box of The Terminator, and there the line stands, right above the title. See what's a tagline now? One instance(Ross) is admissable, it's a common mistake, and he appologized. Xen here obviously knows Ben Hur by heart so he knew the quote and it didn't bother him that it's not a Tag Line.
So please guys, Tag Lines, K?

Yes, I was thinking that myself. I have enough trouble figuring out the movies from the tag lines without it degenerating to quotes! You also can see tag lines on trailers (often written on the screen, or voiced over) and on movie posters. On a similar note, do you guys have to google to find exact tag lines or do you just know them from memory? I don't mean to give answers, obviously (hopefully ) no one is googling for that, but for coming up with your own tag lines for others to guess. It's one thing guessing a movie from a context clue, but I personally can't remember any tag lines off by heart! Except maybe the 'every saga has a beginning' one but that was done already

this one seems to be giving you guys a lot of trouble, so here's a couple alternative ones for the same movie:
<font color=999900>'You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.'

'Replace My Memory.'

'This Spring, clear your mind'</font>

i hope someone will be able to recognize it now.


and to answer Aelia Jusa's question...
having to recognize other's taglines and match them to movies is usually hard enough; but having to come up with my own exact taglines of the top of my head would be just about impossible. all the more so, because i'm not from an english speaking country, so a lot of movie posters, and even taglines inside trailers, are translated.
so, when i have to post my own taglines, i first come up with a movie (usually one that i liked a lot), then i look it up on imdb and copy/paste the tagline here. unless i think the tagline is either too obscure or too revealing; then i either post an alternative one (imdb lists them too) or come up with another movie.

Presumably Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

@ Aelia Jusa: I always IMDb to see a tagline I'm about to post, but I never use it to cheat.
So, without further ado, let's get the new <font color=grey>grey</font>(who else thinks that this color is broken? [img]smile.gif[/img] )
<font color=grey>Get ready for rush hour</font>

huh, why would <font color=grey>grey</font> be broken?
maybe it's just on <font color=grey>Speed</font>? [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Bozos of Bones]

Erm... do you guys see grey as grey or green? Firefox displays it as grey, but IE6 displays green... This is... well, weird... I think IE comutates colors with backgrounds, somehow...
Oh and yes, it is correct, Speed it is.

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] , so that's the deal with <font color=grey>grey</font> and <font color=green>green</font>. I normally only use Firefox so I had no idea IE colors it wrong [img]smile.gif[/img] . just tried it out though, and sure enough - 'grey' is a very bright green, even greener than 'green' [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img] . must be some new color scheme MS is planning on patenting

but anyway, back to our tags... here's a new <font color=grey>grey [img]smile.gif[/img] </font> one, really easy this time:
<font color=grey>Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.</font>
