Challenge us with a non-famous line from a movie

Groundhog Day

“Someday I think you and I are going to have a serious disagreement.”

Crazy Cora in Quigley Down Under. Fantastic movie.

I am the fool for Christ, and the Paraclete of Caborca, the Wrath of the Lamb, the Angel of the Bottomless… Pit.

“I’ll have a twist of lemon.”

Correct.

“Not born… shit into existence.”

Too obvious a hint: Harold and Maude. One of the dates Harold’s mother sets up.

Bingo! :smiley:

"Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’."

(Famous actor but in one of his lesser known movies."

To quote the actor who delivered this line: “I see […] as a gunslinger, and that’s how I’m going to play him.”

Unfortunately, no. he was a character actor who you might’ve heard of if you pay attention to that kind of actor, but otherwise not.

The movie’s from the early 1960s, if that helps. But it’s more obscure than it deserves to be.

“Like I said, it ain’t me you gotta worry about.”

English subtitles:

A: “Sigfrid, when are you going to stop trying to force yourself on Inga?”
B: “When you stop trying to force yourself on Mooska.”

Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales

It came to me in the middle of the night when I was half asleep. I sat up in bed and said “Sinbad”! But I don’t know the quoted actor, nor even if I have the correct full title of the movie.

Based just on this description, not the quote itself, I will guess John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.

You got it! :ok_hand:

Wayne found the script lying on someone’s desk and decided it was the role he was “born to play.”

Pitch Black

DingDingDingDingDingDing!!!

It was actually Captain Sindbad, a 1963 Indie film that deserves to be better known that it is. No Harryhausen animation, but siome decent special effects. It starred Guy Williams (Zorro on Disney, and the Dad on Lost in Space) in the title role, Pedro Armendariz (who was in several westerns, but is probably best remembered as Ali Kerim Bey in the second James Bond Film, From Russia With Love ) as the Bad Guy (also named Kerim, coincidentally), and character actor Abraham Sofaer as the magician Galgo, who spoke the lines. Another of his quotes was “Take everything off – I can’t grow feathers on silk!” He was speaking to Princess Jana, who wanted to be turned into a Firebird to fly and warn Sindbad about a trap.

This being a 1963 kids’ movie, she couldn’t really strip down as far as the script suggests, but she did get pretty skimpy.

Kerim, by the way, couldn’t be killed because he kept his heart protected in a special container outside his body – an old idea in Arabian Nights fiction, and probably where Rowling got the idea for horcruxes.

Nitpick: it was an old idea in Russian fiction.

Russian fiction, too, then. They didn’t have a copyright on it, though.
