New Game!!
The First Lines thread is thriving over in Have Book, Will Talk. So I thought I'd start up something similar over here.
*Give us a quote from a new or classic movie.
*It can be from any scene in the movie and can be of any length (from one to a thousand words [okay, maybe not a THOUSAND words...but you get the drift])
*When you've correctly identified the actor/actress (as best you can) and movie, it's your turn to stump us with a choice piece of dialogue
I'll get things rolling with:
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Oooo nice game Grouch!
That's from The Godfather.

That's from the movie 1776. Here's mine (a relatively easy one to get things going):
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

I have no idea who the actor is, but the character is John Adams and the movie is 1776. Right?
Okay, my quote: "Then they're wrong and the world is flat!"
Oops, I was beaten to it. Well, just count mine as a bonus. |

That's from 1776 - John Adams (William Daniels) says it
Now how about this one:
"I'm nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I'm reminiscing this right now. I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory...and I didn't have a good time." |

ok, while I was typing two people beat me to 1776, but the top one is Moulin Rouge. So try this one again:

Whew! What a spurt of activity. Let's see if I can sort it out:
quasar's was from 1776
shadow8's was from Moulin Rouge
BrianneG's is from Kicking and Screaming
But Dani257's! That one stumps me!
Here it is again:
"Then they're wrong and the world is flat!"
First correct answer gets to stump us with the next quote... |

Okay, I didn't realize mine was a stumper. The quote was"Then they're wrong and the world is flat!" It was said in reply to (I may have this wrong, but it's close) "Haven't your tutors taught you that the world is round?" The movie is a biography. The person who said the quote about the tutors played the same role in an earlier film.
Wow, guess I need to give a bigger hint. Okay, both Bette Davis and Judi Dench played the same person depicted in this film, but at an older age.

Hint 2 or 3 depending on how you're playing at home. This movie also starred Deborah Kerr and Charles Laughton |

That movie is a favorite of mine, and my cousin is in there somewhere too....

That one's from The Green Mile. Bill Dodge (Brent Briscoe) is talking about (I think) "Wild Bill," whose cheese has definitely left his cracker. Just look at what does with a Moon Pie!
Here's mine:

Heh, the two tree trimmers when they saw that John Cusack was in a garbage truck in Better Off Dead. Love that film.
Okay, here goes: You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.

The dude abides.
Jeff Bridges explaining that he isn't Mr. Lebowski in The Big Lebowski - another kickin' film! I was going to quote Monty Python before and then I noticed that you were posting here Grouch. 
Another one then: They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"

Grosse Pointe Blank. Good film.

Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) in Wag the Dog (one of the great, underrated politcal satires of recent years).
Here's mine:
It's midnight. Look at the clock, one hand has met the other hand, they kiss. Isn't that wonderful? |
