Ok,

This one is probably pretty easy:

"Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear ******** tell it, anybody could have worked for ****. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone."

The *'s are two separate names of characters in the movie that would make it way too easy.

-Garrett

I'm almost positive that it's "The Usual Suspects".

Great movie.

-Jon

You can be positive Jonathan. It is indeed The Usual Suspects. One of those movies that I seem to always stop on even though I've already seen it a hundred times.

Jonathan is up.

Garrett

Ok, Here it goes:

Character 1: "You're note Martin."


Character 2: "No."


Character 1: "Who are you?"


Character 2: "I don't have a name."


Character 1: "Sad. Will you have a name when we get home?"


Character 2: "I don't have a home."


-Jon

do you mean "you're not martin" ? or is he asking for martins note ?

I apologize for that. I mis-typed that line. The appropriate lines are:


Character 1: "You're not Martin."


Character 2: "No."


Character 1: "Who are you?"


Character 2: "I don't have a name."


Character 1: "Sad. Will you have a name when we get home?"


Character 2: "I don't have a home."


-Jon

I was debating about either dropping more quotes, or offering a hint. I'll offer a simple hint:

Character 1 in the above-mentioned quote is played by Elizabeth Shue.

-Jon

Okay, time for another quote from the same movie. Same characters as the earlier quote, but in reverse order:


Character 1: "What are those, drugs? Could I have one? My head is pounding. She's boring the life out of me."


Character 2: "They're for my heart."


Character 1: "Oh. You have very pretty eyes... pretty lady."


Character 2: "Who are you?"


Character 1: "Hmm? I'm here to do an interview with uh Dr. Russell. I'm gonna expose her as a fraud. You don't put any stock this cold fusion mumbo jumbo, do ya? "


Character 2: "Actually, I do."


-Jon

AHH.

That's The Saint with Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue.

I must have been subconsciously blocking it.

-Garrett

Indeed. That's what I figured - - Despite a fun performance by Val Kilmer, "The Saint" is quite simply a very forgettable film, and that's why I picked it to quote from. I figured it would be a bit of a challenge. Especially because much of the dialogue is intentionally diversionary - The main character self-references as a different persona in almost every scene, and if you haven't seen the film, much of the dialogue would seem quite confusing.

I had a series of similar quotes from similar exchanges in the film, but figured I didn't want to prolong this one any longer, and opted for one that referenced the cold fusion, easier to remember for those who have seen the film.

-Jon

It took me a while to put Elisabeth Shue and cold fusion together but it finally came to me.

OK here's another movie I watched as a kid.

Soldier: You're not Mrs. Rochard.
Capt: I'm Mr. Rochard.
Soldier: Well, it's your wife who must report here for transportation to Bremerhaven.
Capt: According to the War Department, I am my wife.
Solder: You can't be your wife.
Capt: If the American army says I can be my wife, who am I to dispute them?

-Garrett

No body have a guess yet? Another line in about an hour if no one gets it.

Garrett

The only one the came to mind for me was "Stripes", but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

-Jon

Not Stripes. Think a lot older.

Next quote:

Capt: I am an alien spouse of a female military personnel en route to the United States under public law 271 of the Congress.

and a hint,

This film was directed by Howard Hawks.

-Garrett

OK. Here's another clue:

1949 movie starred Ann Sheridan and Archibald Leach (that's not his stage name though).

Garrett

Ok if no one get's it by tomorrow I'll move onto another one.

-Garrett

I know of the film you quoted from, as well as the basic premise of the story. But I have never actually seen it, and can't think of the exact name, so although you've provided great clues, I am still moderately clueless.

-Jon

OK. So the movie was "I Was A Male War Bride" with Cary Grant.

Here's a very long quote, more of a monologue from a 1956 movie:

"This is Tokyo. Once a city of six million people. What has happened here was caused by a force which up until a few days ago was entirely beyond the scope of Man's imagination. Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world. There were once many people here who could've told of what they saw... now there are only a few. My name is Steve Martin. I am a foreign correspondent for United World News. I was headed for an assignment in Cairo, when I stopped off in Tokyo for a social; but it turned out to be a visit to the living HELL of another world."

-Garrett

I'll hazard a guess, and say it is "Godzilla".

-Jon

It is indeed Godzilla. It's amazing how many times the big green lizard has been killed only to return in another movie.

Your up Jon.

-Garrett

Okay, here goes the next one:


Character 1: "My parents didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas."


Character 2: "What did you want?"


Character 1: "Hungry Hungry Hippos."


Character 2: "And how did you feel, being denied these Hungry Hungry Hippos?"


Character 1: "Regret."


-Jon

Donnie Darko?

It is Donnie Darko.

You're up.

-Jon

Character 1: But you can't, an Indian sheriff? Only ones elected in this country are Americans.

Character 2: My father was born here, in the mountains. His father before him and his father before him and his father before him. Where was your father born?

Character 1: Ulp, what's that to do with it?

Character 2: I said, where was he born?

Character 1: Uuh, in Scotland.

Character 2: My father was born here, in America. His father before him and his father before him and his father before him. Now which of us is American?

Some hints-

This movie was a Spaghetti Western that was NOT directed by Sergio Leone.
(This movie was released in english language for the US, so hopefully that doesn't violate the "english-only films" part of the game rules.)

This movie was the first starring role in a theatrical release for a well-known American actor, who had previously appeared extensively on TV and in a few supporting movie roles.

More hints-

This film was released in 1966, when the lead actor was 30 years old. He's currently 74 and still working in the movie and TV industry.

He used a bow and arrow in this movie, along with a multitude of other weapons. He also co-starred 6 years later in an iconic Oscar-nominated film, again using a bow and arrow as a weapon.

Even More Hints-

I recently watched the movie in question on the ThisTV network, which is a great source of obscure movies with early big names in them as well as movies so bad they are a hoot to watch and grimace at.
You can check them out at This TV Home - A free, premium channel for your favorite Movies and TV shows to see if they are on your local cable or broadcast outlets.

The movie in question was directed by Sergio Corbucci.

The Answer is...
 

I won't be able to respond for the next few days, so the answer is "Navajo's Land" also known as "Navajo Joe", with Burt Reynolds.
Please procede on with another quote in my absence.

I'm sure this one is dead easy, but it'll get things going again:

"You shoulda shot that boy when you had the chance, Bick. Now he's too rich to kill."

Sorry Chris, I'm taking command of this thread to keep it going.




"Sir, we're being radar scanned."

"United Planets Cruiser C-57D, JJ Adams Commanding... who are you..."

Another quote from the same movie-

"And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access to a machine that could never be shut down. The secret devil of every soul on the planet all set free at once to loot and maim. And take revenge...

Same movie -

"Alta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy. It's true, it will remind us that we are, after all, not God."

Final Hint:

The movie starred an actor that went to the big cinema in the sky recently, and the initials of the movie are: F. P.

Unless Bill and I are the only players left, I'm *still* staying out of this one. Too easy!

Hmmmm -- I'm gonna bet decent money that I've not seen this one...

Same here. I'm following the thread, but this is just not one that I can place.

-Jon

Oh, come on now. Don't make me do this one. It's a personal favorite. Somebody else needs to step in here...

Fixed that for you, no need to thank me.

Normally I'd resist in this situation, but given the lack of response I don't think it's so bad that I accidentally stumbled upon the answer a few days ago with the IMDB's quote of the day (and I didn't go looking for it, so technically it's not cheating).

This is "Forbidden Planet", starring the late Leslie Nielsen, if I'm not mistaken. Hadn't heard of it until he passed away, now I'm anxious to see what everyone's talking about.

Everybody I know who has seen that movie falls in love with it -- I'm sure you will, too Robert!

And now it's your turn to provide a quote...

Bingo! Whew, I was getting worried. The first quote was taken straight from the trailer:
