New Button Alert! That’s right, we added a new button to the game. Have you seen it yet? Well take a peek under the poster for today’s movie and you’ll see what we’re talking about. Did you do it? Okay, we’re gonna assume you did it…
Cool huh? Now you can rehear the “win quote” when you pick the right movie. In the past, you weren’t able to do that before. You heard it once and unless you snuck over to a whole new device / browser you weren’t able to replay it. Is this a monumental development? No. Is this the end-all be-all that finally pushes CQ to the mainstream? Probably not. Were CineQuote players storming our headquarters with torches and pitchforks threatening to string us up behind a team of horses and dragged through the sagebrush? Well, YES, to be honest and we respond very quickly to threats of bodily harm! So, hell, I guess if you want changes to the game, forming a rabid mob of fellow villagers is a great first step. Alright, let’s take a look at the week’s numbers…
Last Week’s Highlights
Highest Win Percentage91.9%  Inception (2010) | Lowest Win Percentage54.3%  Heavyweights (1995) |
We didn’t use one BAWAAAAAOONG and yet INCEPTION topped the charts this week with a commendable 91.1%. All you dream architects out there didn’t even need to hear “La Vie en Rose” but next time it comes up it’s just gonna be five quotes from Tom “the Berge” Berenger.
While there is a movie called Fat Camp, it was never widely-released or well known enough to warrant popping up in our search database but we’re guessing players sure wish that was the title to this thing. It would have been so much easier, but no, the folks at Disney opted for the less (?) offensive title of HEAVYWEIGHTS. While not many people saw it back when it was released, or of late going by that 54.3% win rate, it has gained a slight cult following over the years for being an early film role of Ben Stiller as well as an early writing credit for Judd Apatow (both of which went on to do bigger things we hear.)
 Christine Baranski as Tonya Banters with the bartender in Mamma Mia! (2008) | Ace of the Week24.4%"Now, baby, this should tickle your taste buds.” “Down, big fella. I'm old enough to be your mother.” |
Broadway legend Christine Baranski’s voice cut right to the cochlear bone for a quarter of you, as 24.4% of players Aced MAMMA MIA!
That either shows y’all know this movie very well, or we need to watch it more than once or twice a decade in order to ascertain what a “difficult quote” would be, but know that next time this movie comes up, no Baranski until AT LEAST quote 4. Apologies, but you forced our hand.
Here are the numbers for all the games last week.
CineQuote Movie | Win % | Ace % |
|---|---|---|
Inception (2010) | 91.9% | 9.7% |
Mamma Mia! (2008) | 85.0% | 17.3% |
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) | 85.0% | 6.1% |
Elemental (2023) | 81.0% | 3.7% |
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) | 80.1% | 11.9% |
Nosferatu (2024) | 67.4% | 3.9% |
Heavyweights (1995) | 54.3% | 4.6% |
CQ Recommends
We recommend taking a walk around the building if you need a break.
 I'm Still Here (2024) | A woman married to a former politician during the 1971 military dictatorship in Brazil is forced to reinvent herself and chart a new course for her family after a violent and arbitrary act. While this movie got a fair amount of love during the most recent Oscars, not enough people have seen it, despite it wining Best Foreign Language Film or Best Internationally-Foreign Feature or whatever they’re calling it these days. Fernanda Torres with the performance of a lifetime should be more than enough reason to get you to try it out, accolades aside, but also, thematically it’s sadly very much of the present, even though this movie is set in Brazil in the early ‘70s, and those types of movies are important. -Sean |
