If there's anyone who hasn't done a list yet who wants to (I know Alcon fits that category, but maybe others do, too) they should just jump in.
Meanwhile, just for something to do, we could play one and off. Here's a quote to get started. If you're sure you know the reference, don't wait for confirmation just post your own right in the same post (like the "Ask the Next Person Anything" thread). If you're just guessing, wait for me to confirm that you're correct, then post your new quote.
1) "If a robot could genuinely love a person what responsibility does that person hold toward that Mecha in return?"

It's the only movie I can think of that has robots falling in love with people.
Edit: Shootfire! Just checked and I'm wrong. Now I remember the other movie with robots and people falling in love. Posts: 2596 | Registered: Jan 2006

Wasn't there some movie with Robin Williams like that had robots falling in love with people? I never saw it but I remember that being the gist of it from the previews.

"- The truth is, I can't handle the idea of her not liking me. I can't handle the idea of ANYBODY not liking me. - Melvin, pal, the hundred or so people you've murdered over the past five years probably have relatives that don't think too highly of you. "

"I was in it, Emily. I was in that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory. It's human life that is real"

Patton (alright, I googled it, but the game had died and someone had to do something).
-This may seem like a really stupid question... -There *are* no stupid questions. -You inherit 5 million dollars the same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in 2 days. What do you do? -That's the stupidest question I've ever heard.
(different quote, same movie) -It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer.

So since this thread seems to have died, and I've been wanting to post this batch of quotes for some time, I'm gonna go ahead and post it.
EDIT: Oh wow, I missed that whole bit where you guys were waiting for me to post. Ok, sorry a bit delayed, but here it is.
1) "Feel the rythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, its bobsled time!" Cool Runnings - Luet13
2) "Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses not some farcical aquatic ceremony." Monty Python and the Holy Grail - kwsni
3) "Remark to this, Whittaker Walt. We must have boat. Even now may be too late. This is your island, I make your responsibility you help us get boat quickly, otherwise there is World War III, and everybody is blaming YOU! "
4) "We're robbing the place not occupying it." Serenity - kwsni
5) "I've gotten used to ignoring them and I think, as a result, they've kind of given up on me. I think that's what it's like with all our dreams and our nightmares, Martin, we've got to keep feeding them for them to stay alive." A Beautiful Mind - Vadon
6) "Well Stephen the bird's flightless? ...it's not going anywhere." Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - Vadon
7) "I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future." A Fish Called Wanda - kwsni
8 ) "Wouldn't it be great if wars could be fought by the same assholes who started them? "
9) "You call a three star general, "Man?" What are you going to call him next? "Dude?" "
10) "Please, listen, now, if you're going to refer to that alleged conversation with Sally Aiken, you can't print that it took place in her apartment. I have a wife and a family and a dog and a cat." All The President's Men - SenojRetep
11) "That's a good idea. Four unidentifiable high school students lost their lives early this morning when their toy rocket exploded." October Sky - Vadon
12) "From now on, we live in a world where man has walked on the moon. And it's not a miracle, we just decided to go." Apollo 13 - Nighthawk
13) "Request permission to relieve bladder." The Right Stuff - Nighthawk
14) "Hmmm... spaghetti derivative... meatballs, sort of anyway... and... ooh, Kaldorf droppings! Who ate it before you did?" Titan AE - Jeesh
15) "Let me tell you something kid; Everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either because they're too scared, or they don't recognize it when it spits on their shoes." The Sandlot - Leroy
16) "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors. Who, also, happen to be, recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries..." Contact - Leroy
17) "I gotta go Julia, we got cows." Twister - Nighthawk

2 is Monty Python and the Holy Grail 4 is Serenity 7 is Fish Called Wanda. (this one was weird. I kept hearing it in John Cleese's voice, and I couldn't figure out what Python movie it was from.)
You guys got all the ones I know. I just looked back at my original list and it seems way too easy. I'll have to think of some harder ones.

Nighthawk - 3 Vadon - 3 kwsni - 3 (good catch with a Fish Called Wanda, Yay for the Pythons!) Luet13 - 2 Leroy - 2 (Sandlot, one of my favorite nostalgic movies of all times) SenojRetep - 1
Sorry CMC, 17 isn't a League of their Own (thought that is a great movie). Do you know what 8 is from?
Close Edgehopper, 12 is not The Right Stuff, though there is a quote up there from The Right Stuff. 2 is Holy Grail but someone beat you to it.

EDIT: And, with the above comment, I'm going to guess #13 is The Right Stuff. Don't feel I should get full credit if it is, though. EDIT #2: Yes, it is. I remember the scene now.

HINTS:
3) "Very clever little boy. Very, very clever, to see that my friend and I are foreigners here, but of course not Russian, naturally. What would the Russians be doing on United States of America island, with so many animosities and hatreds between these two countries? It is too funny an idea, is it not? No, we, we are of course... Norwegians. On a small training exercise for the Nyaato countries--" "NATO." "NATO countries, of course, yes. Ah, to reach place of power motorboats it is necessary to make borrowings of automobile, for a short time only, sir."
8) "Strangers... I hate this. Do they want to share what they got or take what you got? Do you say 'hi' or do you blow them away?"
9) "Take a look at a castle. Any castle. Now break down the key elements that make it a castle. They haven't changed in a thousand years. 1: Location. A site on high ground that commands the territory as far as the eye can see. 2: Protection. Big walls, walls strong enough to withstand a frontal attack. 3: A garrison. Men who are trained and willing to kill. 4: A flag. You tell your men you are soldiers and that's your flag. You tell them nobody takes our flag. And you raise that flag so it flies high where everyone can see it. Now you've got yourself a castle. The only difference between this castle and all the rest is that they were built to keep people out. This castle is built to keep people in."

#9 is The Last Castle. Saw it only partly, but I'm definitely going to watch it again.
#3 The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming. (I had to google this to verify, since it's been a bloody long time since I'd seen it.)

Guess that does it, no? Now what? Do you guys rotate turns like I've seen on music lyric contests? I'd love to put together a list.

I think if you are the winner you just put your list together and post it, and watch the mad rush for the initial points begin.

1) "We're going to need some more FBI guys, I guess."
2) "Human thought is so primitive it's looked upon as an infectious disease by the rest of the universe. That kind of makes you proud, doesn't it?"
3) "Pride is an abomination. One must forego the self to obtain total spiritual creaminess, and avoid the chewy chunks of degradation."
4) "Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."
5) "Prepare for the fight scene!"
6) "Is he always this funny, or only on days when he's wanted for murder?"
7) "Danger always strikes when everything seems fine."
8) "Hard part's over. Now let's get these other piggies wiggling."
9) "I am the author. You are the audience. I outrank you!"
10) "I tell you one thing, though. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're gonna take this luggage with us!"
11) "I've come for your TV. You've been using too much juice. Another 10,000 kilowatts again this month. Beats me how an old, homicidal loony can use that much power."
12) "Well, I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir."
13) "I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this."
14) "I'm chaos, and he's mayhem. We're a double act."
15) "This little proposition doesn't entail me dressing as Little Bo-Peep, does it?"
16) "Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."
17) "Wow, what a day, first that restaurant by the bay and then that, that play, that, that, that Oedipus thing. Man, I thought I had problems."
18) "Life, which you so nobly serve, comes from destruction, disorder, and chaos."
19) "So raise your hand if you think that was a Russian water-tentacle."
20) "Ok, now let's try to get an answer from someone who's not a complete retard... anyone?"

9 is The Producers. I think the same line is in both of them, but it's definitely from the one with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder.
