Ok, my list of 20 has been nearly filled out, so I'm going to be revealing the last couple, as the quotes are either too obscure for someone who owns them, or too obscure for anyone else who hasn't seen them before.
Now comes the second part to this all, if any of these lines seem tantalizing enough to make you want to watch the movie, let me know, and I'll lend it to you (I took the easy route on choosing them, I just went through my collection and cherry picked 20 of my favorites from it.)
6) Well, I couldn't leave him in town; he tends to tell to tell the truth. He's an alcoholic, you know.
My Name is Trinity
8) The question is have I learned anything about life. Only that human being are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter... if it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that basically He's an underachiever. After all, there are worse things in life than death. If you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know what I'm talking about. The key is, to not think of death as an end, but as more of a very effective way to cut down on your expenses. Regarding love, heh, what can you say? It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that counts. It's the quality. On the other hand if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into. Well, that's about it for me folks. Goodbye.
Woody Allen's Love and Death
11) "Do you think he's telling the truth" "I don't know, but it's not raining and he's standing in a puddle."
Tango and Cash
14) You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Micheal Caine version of The Italian Job
16) I saw death rising from the earth, from the ground itself, in one blue field.
A Scanner Darkly
20) Hi. How are you? My name's Elliot, and I'm with the Cub Scouts of America. We're... we're selling uncut cocaine to get to the jamboree.
True Romance
If this ruined the last couple on my list for some movie buff with a taste for the slightly more obscure, I apologize, but hey, only six out of 20 not answered, that's pretty damn good by my books.
