Three movie quotes from this date. Featuring Cool Runnings (1993), Easy Rider (1969), Snatch (2000).

Matinee

Sanka, ya dead?

Answer: Cool Runnings ()

Loosely based on the real 1988 Jamaican bobsled team's Calgary Olympics debut. The cast trained on real bobsled tracks, and the producers met with the actual team during pre-production — though the film's plot diverges significantly from the real story.

Primetime

We blew it.

Answer: Easy Rider ()

Made for around $400,000 and grossing over $60 million, the film helped launch the New Hollywood era. Jack Nicholson was a last-minute replacement for Rip Torn, who reportedly walked off after a dinner argument with co-director Dennis Hopper.

Midnight

Do you know what nemesis means?

Answer: Snatch ()

Guy Ritchie shot the film in 80 days for $10 million. Brad Pitt's near-incomprehensible 'Pikey' dialect was Pitt's own suggestion after he found he couldn't master a standard British accent. The line is delivered by Alan Ford as the gangster Brick Top.
