Another movie game ... guess which movie the quote's from, then post another one. To start things off:
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

All About Eve
"A man wants his wife to behave herself, naturally."
"Yes, to behave herself naturally."
(This one works best if you say it out loud and pay attention to the punctuation. Or if you've seen the movie.) |

This sounds like a Marx Brothers quip, but I'll admit I'm stumped otherwise...

Hey, we've come full circle.
It is from The Philadelphia Story. Cary Grant says it at the end when Katherine Hepburn's fiance (two e's would make that female, right?) is concerned about how she'll act once they're married.
Back to you, soxfan. |

Ack! Dropped the ball on this one.
All right, here's another quote:

Here's one for ya: 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?"

Fun movie!
Okie...this is probably easy, but I love this line: If he'd just pay me what he's paying them to stop me robbing him, I'd stop robbing him!

That's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Okay, here's mine. One of my best friends, who is a prosecutor, has this painted on a large mirror in his hallway:
"I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you." (I think that quote is accurate)

You are correct. It is indeed "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938).
I also found the answer to your question, but I'll let someone else answer it.

I'll answer Psychovant's question, since nobody else did:
"Hellraiser" (1987).
For a change, what I will ask is not a quote found in the film, but a quote surrounding the film -- which became well-known and entered Hollywood legend.
One particular film had to be shot at sea on board a ship. On the ship were several actors who were renowned heavy drinkers, and the purpose of the ship was to keep them away from alcohol for the duration of the shooting, but someone had smuggled in the forbidden liquid, and the cast was doing nothing except drinking.
A studio head, commenting about the rising costs and the delays in production, cabled the director of the film, who won an Oscar for Best Director in his career.
The message was: THE COST IS STAGGERING.
The reply was: SO IS THE CAST.
Identify the film.
Another hint: This film was its star's last.

Wild guess: Mr. Roberts? (too lazy to look it up, rather appear ignorant) :o

No, it's not Mr. Roberts. Nice try, though.
