Project Hail Mary.
I’ve seen twice in the last week.
“We enjoy your films. Particularly the early, funny ones.”
Someone in Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories, referring to the Allen-esque character’s ouevre. Character played by Woody Allen.
And I may be a Philistine, but I prefer Allen’s earlier, funnier movies. So sue me.
To be exact, it’s an extraterrestrial. He has a fantasy of flying saucers landing in front of him. They come out of those vehicles. He asks them questions but gets no answers. Finally they tell him what kind of films he should make.
“You’ve been away.” “For 90 days. Been doin’ a job for the state. Makin’ license plates.”
Harvey
I think a hint is due for this one. It’s a movie from a well-known director, but it’s not one of his early, funny ones.
Right you are.
Since it looks like I’ve stumped the message board, I’ll spill the beans. It’s Commander Taylor (Don Ameche) to Ensign Garland (Robert Morse), both of the US Coast Guard, in The Boatniks.
That was a movie? 
Try this one from 1967:
“Oh, I’ve been wearin’ suede shoes and eatin’ Chow Mein every night!”
“Never, never say you’ll be… where you can be found not to be”.
This is from Point Break.
Next up:
‘Oh, what magic those fingers could work on the right cabinet! Maybe you could alphabetize me. And remember, ‘I’ comes before ‘U’.’
“We call him the tongue.”
Tootsie
That’s it.
“I never meant this to get autobiographical.”
“Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point.”
That was the funniest line from the surprisingly excellent Barbie.
Hits differently now that I realize Margot had, or has had, major insecurity about the way she looks.
That was fast.
“I’m nominally in charge, but we’re a crack team of lone wolves, nerds, troublemakers, outcasts, academic heretics, and general pains in the bureaucracy.”
(in chorus)…Road Trip!
