I'll name THAT in one...

OK here's a game. You can cite a line from a movie, song or even more difficultly, a book. You must say which media it is.

One line only, and NO googling...!

Here's your (very) easy starters - 3 movies:

1) "verify range to target - one ping only Vasily"

2) "The man most responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson"

3) "blessed are the cheese-makers"

"1) "verify range to target - one ping only Vasily"

The Hunt for Red October.

The other two ring bells but I cannot nail them.

When you say "which media", you do mean the title of the work, don't you?

The movie specifically, I don't know if this line is in the book, even though I have read the book. It's been a while.

By "which media", he means in which media does the quote, as written, appear? Is it the movie or the book, or even maybe a song. Quotes can change once a book is made into a movie, because often the director's vision is different from the author's vision.

Of course, the title of the work is also part of the answer.

4) My God, it's full of stars.

[Book, and probably the movie as well.]

2001: A Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. Clarke.

I have the paperback right here, and the sentence in the book looks like this:

"The thing's hollow -- it goes on forever -- and -- oh my God! -- it's full of stars!"

OK this one will be a bit difficult for anyone under what 80? OK I'm a bit under 80 but is it, and this is a rhetorical question, "Body and Soul"?

Correct.. spoken by John Garfield. Do you believe that no one under 80 has seen the movie?

6) The truth is that when his mind was completely gone, he had
the strangest thought any lunatic in the world ever had, which was
that it seemed reasonable and necessary to him, both for the sake
of his honor and as a service to the nation, to become a knight
errant and travel the world with his armor and his horse to seek
adventures and engage in everything he had read that knights
errant engaged in, righting all manner of wrongs and, by seizing
the opportunity and placing himself in danger and ending those
wrongs, winning eternal renown and everlasting fame. (book)

Well they may have because I saw it on TMC, or whatever it's called, a while back.
