It was a bit unusual but I loved! It had this line in it: “for a vegetarian, Rents, you are a fucking evil shot”. If you know, what is it, and can you provide a clue from a film, related in some way, for us to guess? 🙂

That was Trainspotting – re-reading your OP I"m not entirely sure if this is an actual question or a game though.

I think it is a game…
Clue from another unusual film, guess the title: “Plate o’ shrimp.”

Wow, I was hoping it would be a game! I did not think anyone would get my film so quick though!

No, that’s a TV show, not a film.
Okay, hint 2: It’s someone quoting Monty Python, but it’s the only movie I know of to use that quote.

To be nit-picky, I don’t think the film actually used that line. IIRC, In the middle of the film they quoted “our chief weapon is surprise, fear and surprise, etc” and the last line was “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.”
