Movie Quotes Guessing Game
I do remember something interesting in AC1 that involved Templars. Perhaps if it's good enough its addition can warrant the Cloning video to be published?
"The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us."
Dodgeball?
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
Ooh, that was close. Here's another quote (from a different character):
"His defect is that he throws funny. Nobody in the big leagues cares about him because he looks funny. This guy could be not just the best pitcher in our bullpen, but one of the most effective relief pitchers in all of baseball."
Moneyball? never seen it... but they both have "ball" in the name and Moneyball is about baseball.
And that description sounds an awful lot like former Oakland submariner Chad Bradford...
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
Definitely a baseball movie. Bad News bears, Perfect Game, Angels in the Outfield, Rookie of the Year, another one starring Dennis Quaid that I can't remember the name of.
Moneyball is correct and the quote was about Chad Bradford. Good job figuring that one out.

No need to rush with a quote, Mcstab, take your time... put one already! 
Please. 
"It really tied the room together."

The Big Lebowski. Dude!
ding ding ding
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
"My dear family,
Guess what? Today I found out what my special purpose is for. Gosh, what a great time I had. I wish the whole family could have been here with me. Maybe some other time as I intend to do this a lot. Every chance I get. I think next week I'll be able to send more money as I may have extra work. My friend Patty promised me a blow job."
"I'm picking out a Thermos for you. Not an ordinary Thermos for you. But the extra best Thermos that you can buy, with vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in."
it clearly looks like a comedy movie where an outsider comes to America (or another high country) and experience the finer things in life... or some similar trend.
It doesn't look like Borat or Elf though... but maybe one of those?
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
Coming to America?
"I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends, and... uh... my Thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sitting on the porch with my family, singing and dancing down in Mississippi."
Hints:
The actor/character is white, not black.
This 1979 film was his first starring role.
Prior to that he was best known for his appearances on Saturday Night Live.
Steve Martin. The Jerk.
"The actor/character is white, not black." hahaha (because of the plot)
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
"If we were interested in making money, we wouldn't have become teachers."
another quote from the same movie:
Coach: Hey, are you blind? They're doing something illegal out there.
Referee: Coach, nowhere in the rule book does it say anything about jumping too high. Now sit down!
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
The Absent-Minded Professor?
judges say: yes.
the more recent remake? Flubber.
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
"We can do that ourselves. I'm 6-5, 220 and there's two of me."
Stab in the dark here. As in, it popped into my head and has no reason to be right: The Social Network?
EDIT: as in, that sounds very Winklevossian.
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
That's right! I didn't like the movie but that was my favorite line. The context was essentially like this (paraphrasing here):
Cameron Winklevoss: What should we do about Mark Zuckerberg?
Divya Narendra: Hire some thugs to beat him up.
Tyler Winklevoss: We can do that ourselves. I'm 6'5", 220, and there's two of me.
You're up again, Cheese.
damnit. wow. i swear i'm not cheating. for some reason that line oozed winklevoss.
uhh...
hmm....
All from the same character:
"Hey! Get your ass behind the yellow line."
"There's gum on my seat... GUM!"
"Oh sure. It's just like driving a really big Pinto."
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
Is it Speed?
It is.
“Force has no place where there is need of skill." Herodotus
"You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds."
I heard that one before.

Even if you haven't seen Superbad, you win for remembering the quote from another thread two years ago.
If you insist (or maybe you're scared that my memory easily rivals yours).
"What a waste of good scotch."
"It always makes me feel a bit melancholy. Grand old war ship. being ignominiously haunted away to scrap... The inevitability of time, don't you think? What do you see?"
"A bloody big ship. Excuse me."
"I'm your new Quartermaster."
"You must be joking."
"Why, because I'm not wearing a lab coat?"
"Because you still have spots."
"My complexion is hardly relevant."
"Your competence is."
"Age is no guarantee of efficiency."
"And youth is no guarantee of innovation."
"Well, I'll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field."
"Oh, so why do you need me?"
"Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled."
"Or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pajamas. Q."
Skyfall.
Yup. I must have seen every James Bond film before I finally saw this last one. And from the way it ended I can't wait for the next one. 
"I don't have delusions of grandeur. I have an actual recipe for grandeur."
Any clues, PHI?
Another quote, then:
"No scenario? I see every scenario, I see 50 scenarios, that's what it does Carl - it puts me 50 moves ahead of you."
It features Robert de Niro.
Can't say I've seen much Robert de Niro films, so someone better find the answer before I'm tempted to look it up. 
The movie is about a drug.
"No scenario? I see every scenario, I see 50 scenarios, that's what it does Carl - it puts me 50 moves ahead of you."
This sounds like a line from Next, where Nicolas Cage's character can see a few minutes into the future. However, De Niro isn't in it and I don't recall a character named Carl.
Nope, it's not Next either.
Here's a quote from the very beginning from the film:
For a guy with a four digit IQ, I must have missed something. And I hadn't missed much. I'd come this close to having an impact on the world. And now the only thing I'd have an impact on was the sidewalk.
The movie is about a drug.
It sounds like Limitless. The movie is about an experimental drug that increases your intelligence. Some of the quotes also sound like they are in the movie. I'm not sure about Robert de Niro being in it though.
It sounds like Limitless.
Thank you! I had seen the movie and recognized the last quote but couldn't come up with the title.
Yep, it's Limitless. My almost favourite movie.
When you said it features Robert de Niro I was under the impression he would be the main character.
"Tell me again how the girl over powered you."
"She... was the most overwhelmingly feminine presence I have ever encountered. I was drawn to her on a level..."
"Was it sexual?"
"Yes. Overwhelmingly so, and horrible. Loss of control."
I want to guess Basic Instinct but I know that's not it... Is it an older movie?
Since it's Aurel I'm going to guess a horror movie: Species
Very close, Stabguy, in fact that's practically a remake. It is older, DAZ.

In that case, maybe Lifeforce? That's the one where a woman walks around naked for about 2 hours. Unfortunately, I saw it on network TV and they only showed her from the neck up.

Rip off!

More like several minutes (this movie goes from life-draining alien to the main character using telepathy to locate the alien who has body jumped, to a zombie apocalypse! Seriously, this movie needs to make up it's mind what kind of movie it wants to be). You got it, Stab.
