Night of the Demon (d Jacques Tourneur -1957) a really interesting horror flick...

as i was quoting

"You just listen to the ol' Pork Chop Express an' take his advice on a dark and stormy night when some wild-eyed eight-foot tall maniac grabs your neck an' taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall. An' he looks you crooked in the eye an' he asks if you've paid your dues. You look rihgt back at that big sucker an' remember what Jack Burton always says at times like that. "Have you paid your dues, Jack" "No, sir, I've just charged 'em." "

Big Trouble in Little China (d. John Carpenter, 1986)

"When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer." The benefits of a classical education.

Twelve Monkeys(Terry Gilliam - 1995), I do believe.

"For God, there is no zero. I still exist!"

EDIT:Here's the full quote. Even though it will make this very easy to guess, it's one of my favorite passages:
I was continuing to shrink, to become...what? The infinitesimal? What was I? Still a human being? Or was I the man of the future? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world? So close - the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet - like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends is man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero. I STILL EXIST!

The incredible shrinking man (Jack Arnold - 1957)

here is a funny one:
"Hey little Suzi, would you like to buy a monkey?"

David Letterman's cameo in Cabin Boy. Which led to one of the funniest Oscar segments ever created.



"You might as well know right off the bat: I had a vasectomy."

American Splendor (Berman/Pulcini - 2003)

"What kind of town is this?
The sun can hardly pierce the haze
not a haze made out of rain and fog
but steaming thick and hot
like the mist in a slaughterhouse.
Why are they howling?
What are they dragging through the streets?
They carry stakes but what is impaled on those stakes?
Why do they hop what are they dancing for?
Why are they racked with laughter
Why do the children scream?
What are those heaps they fight over
those heaps with eyes and mouths

What kind of town is this?
Hacked buttocks lying in the street
What are all these faces?
Soon these faces willclose around me,
These eyes and mouths will call me to join them."

I dunno if the lack of response is due to folks being stumped, or just apathy.
In case it's the former, here's a clue:

These lines were spoken by a prominent English actress in her first starring role.

well if you know it why dont you answer it. thats the whole thing about it, answering and no hints are allowed.

You need to read a bit more carefully.
I was the one who posted the quote.
No hints allowed? Awww, c'mon.

It's a movie whose main character is a rather infamous historical figure. (Last clue)

It's been up for 4 days. I don't know it. Somebody answer.

Just to keep things moving along, the quote is from Marat/Sade (d. Peter Brook - 1967). The lines were spoken by Glenda Jackson in her brilliant debut movie performance.

Here's a much easier one:

"Nobody brings anything small into a bar."

That's "Nobody ever brings anything small into a bar."

Then he introduces them to Harvey, the Pooka.



"You are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence."

Time Bandits

"Let's get down to brass tacks. How much for the ape?"

"I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it.
We're a knowledgeable family."



(I never realized before now what a strange looking word "know" is).

This has been up for several days. It should be an easy one.

The Lion in Winter



"Yes. Well, you delivered two boxes. I think it's a total of 5,000 campaign buttons. Now, all the ones we had before, and our slogan is "We are the People", and "are" is underlined. These new bottons have "we" underlined. That reads "We are the People"....Well I think there's a difference. "We are the People" is not the same as "We are the People"....Let's not fight.....Look, we'll make it real simple: We don't pay for the buttons. We throw the buttons away, alright?"
