It's my favorite movie! Got it immediately.
"We have 70 dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens."
also, re: GATTACA... well, i just moved and finally set up my entertainment area (back to gaming soon!)
I have fewer than 30 DVDs, 1 of which is GATTACA.
"We have 70 dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We're safe as kittens."
Ooh, that's a tough one. I'm going to guess Cult of the Hand Women.

Close! No not really...
It sounds like a sleazy comedy (ugh, I don't like sleazy comedies).
At first guess Revenge of the Nerds.
Damn, you guys are good at this game!
Yes, we are good at looking up quotes on Google. Um, I mean... Alright I confess, I did look up that quote for Scarface. But that was because the topic wasn't active much at the time (I did actually see most of the movie before, although I don't remember that part). But for all the others I didn't cheat without telling, I swear on my honor as a THB member.

You're on the right track! Well, time period, too.
Animal house
Screwballs
Porkys
Pretty in Pink?
Pretty in Pink?
So close.
hmm... then 80s/John Hughes/coming of age films is the way I'm going with my random guesses...
Fast Times
Weird Science
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (don't think it's that one though)
The Breakfast Club
St. Elmo's Fire
Stand By Me

Once it's revealed, it'll be so obvious to you all.

The closest thing to Pretty in Pink is Sixteen Candles. Which one was Jon Cryer in? I forget.
Yep! You got it.
Here's another sleazy movie... one of my guilty pleasures. The quotes will get sleazier if nobody guesses it.
"Look, I got a picture to make here. I got 25 days to make it. I got no time to fuck around with a claustrophobic vampire who freezes every time he lies down in the coffin."
I don't know what the movie is, but it sounds hilarious.

There are some funny lines but it's more of a suspense movie. The quote above was from Dennis Franz in a supporting role.
This next quote is probably my favorite:
"Some save, Scully. Remind me to never put my life in your hands."
This may sound like an erotic thriller B-movie that you'd see on Skinemax but it actually had a famous director and a 10 million dollar budget, which was substantial for the 1980's.
I promised some sleazy quotes. Here are a few to get things started:
"Sid, that script was written especially for me because I'm an expositionist."
"I have a routine that's a sure ten on the peter-meter."
"What can I get you? Jack Daniels?"
"How about Jake Scully... straight up."
"I should have known when he didn't even know what a come shot was."
Cool World?
Cool World?
The leading lady in Cool World is Holli Would. In this movie it's Holly Body! Here's a quote from Holly:
"Yes. I believe you.
I believe you are a number one sicko and should be put away for life!
I know all about you guys. I've seen about you on late-night television.
You're one of those necrophiliacs, a corpse fucker!"
And another quote from a detective:
"I mean, you're my only witness to this murder and you're a peeper.
In my book, that's a pervert and a sex offender."
Other than Dennis Franz in a supporting role (see first quote above) the only big name actor is Melanie Griffith as Holly Body. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. The most famous quote from this movie belonged to her:
"I do not do animal acts. I do not do S&M or any variations of that particular bent. No water sports either. I will not shave my pussy, no fistfucking and absolutely no coming in my face. I get $2000 a day and I do not work without a contract."
Note to self: never watch this movie. That must be the title, "Never Watch This Movie".

You're thinking of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
Remember when I said the director was famous? This was his next movie after Scarface but it's in the same vein as his earlier suspense films Dressed to Kill and Blow Out.
One scene is essentially a music video of "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. In fact, footage from the film was later incorporated into an official music video that aired on MTV.
Clearly none of you have seen this movie. I have two more quotes that may ring a bell with someone who has just heard of it. Here's the first one:
"I gave you your part: the witness. You were perfect. You played it to a T. But that was it. End of part. Wrap Jake Scully. Oh no, you had to play the hero. Improvise all this crap about finding a body double and unmasking the Indian. But you didn't think it through, did you, Jake? Sometimes heroes come to tragic ends."
Stab in the freaking dark here... based only on that quote and things that could be a title contained within... is it one of the following?

Yes! The title is contained within the quote. You've almost got it. Last clue...
Rubin the Director: "Just a little longer. Okay, girls, step out. Step back. Let's bring in the body double."
Holly Body (to actress): "You're gonna get a lot of dates when this comes out."
Film making is obviously the main topic in this movie. If the title isn't literally in those quotes I would guess Hollywood Boulevard.
Is it Body Double? It was in both quotes...
Yes! Who could forget Brian De Palma's masterpiece "Body Double"? Ha ha ha
Your turn, Cheese.
This movie has some nice life lessons in the following quotes. If no one gets it, I'll post more obvious ones.
"Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man."
"Violence makes violence."
"Public opinion has a way of changing."
A few more quotes that I hope don't just give it away too easily...
"Are you now, or have you ever been a homosexual?"
"No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter."
"It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen."
Additionally, a hint: I was too young when I saw this movie for the first time... then again, I could have been 67 and been too young to see this movie... I still would not have been ready.
From what I remember, certain song/genre of music plays a big role in certain parts of this movie, as exemplified by these quotes:
"I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony."
"It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now to give it the perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig van."
[while listening to the song] "Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!"
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life?
It just occurred to me: A Clockwork Orange
Yes. Stanley Kubrick's 1971 A Clockwork Orange
I also saw A Clockwork Orange at an early age. To me it was all about sex and violence. I didn't grasp the satirical value.
Years later as a freshman in high school, my Speech class played charades as an exercise. This girl was acting out a movie, three words, second word clock, etc. I was too embarrassed to blurt out "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE!" for fear everyone would think I was a pervert. I said it quietly. Nobody heard me except the teacher, who stopped her stopwatch. My team continued to play on until the teacher interrupted and asked me to repeat my answer. Then I was really on the spot. I was either going to win the game or get sent to the counselor's office!
It turned out that our teacher was into satire. Nobody else on my team had even heard of A Clockwork Orange, including the girl who was acting it out.

Hell, I saw it freshman year in college and it was still about sex and violence... Growing up in a religious household shelters you from a lot, I guess.
Yes! Who could forget Brian De Palma's masterpiece "Body Double"? Ha ha ha

Sensing some irony here.
What I know about Clockwork Orange: A disturbing futuristic cult movie about a protagonist who forces himself on women. No thanks.
"Why would she have you meet her in a bar at ten in the morning?"
"I just figured she was a raging alcoholic."
"Yeah, I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention."
"Yeah, I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention."
Another quote I remember, but can't pin down the film.

Ha exactly my thoughts.
Oh gods. It just hit me. Someone on Facebook just posted something about this movie... Dumb and Dumber.
Yes, that's right!
Ooh, somebody stop me!
(both a quote and a plea to have someone other than Stabguy and I get one of these).
Jim Carrey in The Mask?
yep
"Don't make me bust you up, man."
"Come with me if you want to live."
"I don't know. With these weapons, I don't know."
"These men have taken a supreme vow of celibacy, like their fathers, and their fathers before them..."
"Now I will kill you until you die from it!"
"I'm not saying I don't trust you, and I'm not saying I do. But I don't."
"We'll settle this the old navy way; The first guy to die, LOSES!"
