My proposition is to post a line from a movie, one you think most people would know. (not too obscure)

The goal is to name the movie. You can add who said it, the character or the actor or both if you want.

I'll start with an easy one to get this going.

Awesome game! I would guess, but I don't think I know it...
Can we include TV shows too? Or would you like this thread to be movie-centric?

I'm sure I've heard it quite recently, but I can't place it. Was the movie filmed before or after 1960? Is it an American movie? Is the speaker a man or a woman?

It's a standard line in detective intros, though; so that's the only place I can think of having heard it :) And can we include lines from books too? Or should I just get out and start a thread of my own? ;P

My gosh ladies, you can't all be that young!

Am too...which is why I'LL out-live and out-post!

I am not, but that's exactly why I had so much time to see tons of movies, and there is a mess of different quotes in my head :).

You got it Peter, you're up next. I think we should stick to movies as a single line from a book might not be all that memorable to others.

Oh so many great movie lines. I am on board with the boundaries.

Hmmmmmm. Well, I have 2 in mind. Here goes with the first.

Paul Newman, from the early 70's, I think. Can't remember the name of the film, sorry. ;-)
