I can't see the point in cheating by looking it up on the IMDb. If that's what the game is about then it'll just be a case of my searching on your quotation, and others searching on mine. Waste of time.
With the Ireland clue, I've got 2 guesses:
Ryan's Daughter and Barry Lyndon? --Lean and Kubrick what pedigree this answer has! Can't think of any other Ireland movies that might have that kind of dialog.
There are movie quotes that we consider memorable; here we share them. To me it's more than a game but the opportunity to discover new quotes and movies. At times I recognize the quote right away; I check with IMDb to get the exact year. If I find the quote intriguing, I become interested in knowing more about the movie. That is when I "cheat".
Hints will be needed if not to check IMDb.
Hint 2: A self-imposed retired American boxer from Pittsburgh. Otherwise all irish!
