"We’ve got two stories here. We’ve got a story about degenerate clergy and we’ve got a story about a bunch of lawyers turning child abuse into a cottage industry. Now, which story do you want us to write? Cause we’re writing one of them."

Spotlight.
These lines can be heard in its trailer, which I recently looked up because I saw that it'd won Best Picture and wondered what the film that had won Best Picture was about.

That's right. It deserved to win Best Picture too. Socially relevant and very well acted.

Haven't seen it, but I'm going with Spotlight. Seems to fit.

DAZ already got Spotlight, Gopher. He has posted a clue for another movie. Care to take a guess?

Val Kilmer (I think) as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. My dad's favorite western, so I watched it a lot growing up... and you picked one of the best scenes/lines in the movie. Wink

nope...

not quite a war movie, per se... maybe these quotes will narrow down the genre.

"I was an aerospace engineer. I helped design the Galileo space station. I dream it's orbiting Earth forever, with a dozen human skeletons all grinning at each other. Laughing at us down here."

"Law one. You will obey orders without question. Law two: Punishment shall be swift. Law three: Mercy is for the weak. Four: Terror will defeat reason. Five: Your allegiance is to the clan. Six: Justice can be dictated. Seven: Any clansman may challenge for leadership of the clan. Law eight: There is only one penalty. Death."

"U.S. Mail... Restored United States... Do these people really believe that shit?"

"Uh... 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?"

(it's a post-apocalyptic movie)

"I tried to be an actor when I was young. I wasn't a good actor, but now after seeing you at least I can die knowing I wasn't the worst one." "How much did you pay to get in, Larry? So bite me!"

"The General is a great man!" "The General is a fucking lunatic!"

"You're nothing but a drifter who found a bag of mail."

"It takes one postman to make someone else a postman." "Sorta like vampires, huh?"

"Tell me something: how much mail can a dead Postman deliver?"

---

And the movie has ties to my home state. There, that should give it away. Smile

It won 5 Razzies (like, the opposite of an Oscar).

Based on the number of times you said "postman", I'm going to guess The Postman? I think there's more than one movie with that name. The only one I ever saw was Il Postino.

bahaha... yep!

It's been a long while since I've seen it, but from what I remember it was far better than the bad rap it gets. I think people tend to lump it together with Waterworld since it came out right after and Costner was the lead actor in both.

However, it also has a character named Ford Lincoln Mercury... so maybe it really is that bad.

But it takes place in (and was filmed in) parts of Oregon.

Tombstone is my favorite. There are so many incredible quotes in that movie. Val Kilmer is an overall joke, but his performance in that movie is flawless.

That inspired my next movie quote:

"[What is a] Ford Lincoln Mercury Sable?"
"A personal conveyance named after its inventor, an assassinated ruler, a character from Greco-Roman myth and a small fur-covered mammal."

Oh man.

I've seen this scene so many times.

I don't know the movie though. I think it's within the last 2-3 years though.

It's a dude saying it in a church during a (bigoted) service to the lady next to him as he's getting up to leave.

edit: i can even picture the guy... black suit (maybe pinstriped?), I think a diagonally striped tie, black rimmed glasses...

Well done, PHI. It's a great movie. I actually watched it a couple nights ago, so it was still fresh in my mind. If any of you haven't seen it, it's on HBO Go now.

"Of course Chicago was a rigged town. The fix was in. The dicks took their end without beef. We had it down to a business. And it really stunk, kid. No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen."

The movie is from 1963 and features the famous "The Entertainer" tune by Scott Joplin as its soundtrack.

Correct! I thought there was enough reference to grifting and dicks and some dude having pulled a lot of cons for someone to get it if they had seen it.

A few quotes from the title character:

"Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitartus Committiartum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of ThD."

"Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila... er, phila... er, yes, er, Good Deed Doers."

"A heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others."

"Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified."

Well, I'll be damned. Sorry for letting this thread die for nine months! Time for an easy more recent movie.

The only new movie I've seen is Rogue One. Some of those quotes sound like they are in the movie, although I thought it was "be careful not to choke on your aspirations".

I know this one. It's the movie Mrs. McStab's family watched in theaters last time we were up there. Allied.
