nizo's Journal: Name that movie!

From which movie is the following quote:

Where life exists, the possibilities are endless. -Nestor

It has several famous actors that everyone knows, though I have to admit the movie was a B flick all the way. You can try to cheat with google and imdb, but I wasn't able to find it with the clues given.....

Congrats to frankie (for getting close enough for me)! So what movie quotes does everyone want to share from their favorite (preferably B-rated) movie?

Total guess here...

[NCalGal]

Goodwill Hunting?

Re:Total guess here...

[nizo]

Bzzzzt. Think more cheesy sci-fi-ish :-)

(I am glad you didn't get it; I was afraid someone would get it ten seconds after I posted my entry)

Hmm...

[winkydink]

The Life and Times of Ron Jeremy?

Re:Hmm...

[nizo]

Bzzzt. Never even heard of it....

Ok after looking it up, less porn and more sci-fi :-)

Re:Hmm...

[grub]

You mean "Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy"? I have it here in my desk, just got it back from someone I loaned it to. :)

Re:Hmm...

[winkydink]

I thought the story is supposed to be, "I'm holding it for a friend"?

Re:Hmm...

[grub]

Holding Ron Jeremy for a friend, eh?

I remember Nestor

[frankie]

It was some really bad flick with John Boy Walton, a spaceship shaped like a moosehead, and a bunch of clones named Nestor. I saw it as a kid in the 70s at a comic convention. Scary that I still remember that stupid thing.

[frankie]

correction: I think it was actually 1982 +/- a year.

Re:I remember Nestor

[Yaztromo]

1980 to be exact. The title is "Battle Beyond the Stars":

Yaz.

Re:I remember Nestor

[nizo]

Yeah I had to give it to frankie, who was obviously on the right track :-) Richard Thomas (John Boy!), Robert Vaughn (too many to list), George Peppard (A-Team!) are the ones that stick out in my mind from the movie....

Re:I remember Nestor

[Yaztromo]

Frankie earned it. I've never seen the movie myself (to my recollection at least) -- I just thought I'd be nice and look up the title of the movie for him :).

Yaz.

Re:I remember Nestor

[nizo]

It is a B movie for sure.

I vaguely recall that it used special effects from some other movie(s) (especially the ship explosions). I should see if I can find it on DVD, any extras about the movie would be a hoot.

I saw this in STARLOG

[Philip K Dickhead]

or Fangoria, or one of those damned things. Avoided it like the plague - 'cos Richard Thomas was even more repellent to me than Robbie Benson.

Now I guess I'll have to watch, someday.

Re:I saw this in STARLOG

[nizo]

It is ok (has some other great quotes in it, though the Nestor quote here is my favorite). I thought he played the role well; this, the Waltons, and Red Badge of Courage are the only things I have ever seen him in.

Re:I saw this in STARLOG

[Philip K Dickhead]

OMFG. I forgot the "Red Badge".

Re:I remember Nestor

[nizo]

Ahh you are close enough (imdb would narrow it down for ya!):
Battle Beyond the Stars [imdb.com] was a cheesy flick, but it had some great quotes, and quite a cast. Congrats!

Re:I remember Nestor

[sielwolf]

I like that movie for the quaint 70'sness of it (with the gaudy half-naked warrior chicks) but also because Robert Vaughn reprises his role from The Magnificent Seven which was itself a fantastic remake of Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai. That's some good pedigree.

Well..

[Le Marteau]

Where life exists, the possibilities are endless. -Nestor

That quote sounds like it was taken from a DuPont or a Dow/Corning commercial you'd see during a golf tournament.

I, Robot

[Billosaur]

I never saw it, and I'm taking a shot in the dark, only because Nestor is an unusual name and it was used in Asimov's book "I, Robot", which has precious little to do with the terrible movie by the same name.

Got it
