Quote:
"So how long are those legs anyway?"

Eddie Murphy says it, in a terrible movie.


(Comment: in the opinion of this writer, all Eddie Murphy's movies are terrible..)

Doctor Dolittle (1998) Dolittle talking to a giraffe?

"What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife".

Hint: The tagline says: LUSTY, MIRTHFUL GIRL-STEALING MUSICAL

Not Doctor Dolittle, Beverly Hills Cop 2, memorable line in terrible movie. Trading Places isn't terrible, neither is Shrek !!

No idea at all on the quotation. Not even with the tagline. Complete guess: Bride and Prejudice?

Can't stand him!!!

The quote is from: Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954)


Next One is from a classic British comedy (1960's):

It is not true that drink alters a man's character. It may reveal it more fully.

It sounds like Dickens, which one I couldn't say. I'll guess Oliver Twist.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)


A movie! That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.

Ah! Fred MacMurray in what is considered one of the greatest movies ever made: Double Indemnity (1944)

I'm not anxious to kill her, I'm not anxious to kill anyone. You see, I'm not a born soldier. I was trapped. You may find me facetious from time to time, but if I didn't make some rather bad jokes I'd go out of my mind. No, I prefer to leave the killing to someone like you, an officer and a gentleman, a leader of men.

'Kill HER' umm, the only thing I can think of is Full Metal Jacket, but the dialog sounds wrong for Pvt. Joker, and the officer is dead by the time they find the woman sniper. Interesting FMJ was shot in London, in a former docklands area which had become derelict. Only Kubrick could get away with filming a Vietnam movie in London (not outside London, actually in it), and without anyone minding. If not FMJ, give me a hint.

Of course, Double Indemnity is correct.

A 1960's WWII classic adventure. The line is said by a famous British actor addressing an equally famous American actor.

Had to look it up, The Guns of Navarone. Embarassed

"I don't think you won it, we lost it, but you lost something, too; you forgot to learn the moral. Because victory was yours, you failed to learn your lesson twenty years ago and now you have to pay the school fees again. Some of you will learn quicker than the others, some of you will never learn it, because you've been educated to be a gentleman and a sportsman, in peace and in war. But [NAME_DELETED], Dear old [NAME_DELETED], this is not a gentleman's war. This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain, Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year; perhaps not even for a hundred years."

Need a hint although the quote puts it in the era when Hollywood was producing war movies to build up the morale and support England...

Yes, but this was a British film. Think classic cartoon strip.

Anton Walbrook in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)

Thanks IMDb! Laughing

Next one: Easy!!

Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...”
