DarRRva #3 is _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_, but that’s not the final line – the movie ends with the song "Science Fiction Double Feature (reprise), so the last line IIRC is: “To the late night… double feature… pic - ture - show.” I think I have this one right: “But the law doesn’t allow me to do that. Turn around.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by marinwood \* > \*\*_Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory_ \*\* That’s right. I thought it would take longer for someone to get it, especially since I think I slightly misquoted it.

**Danimal** and **Kawliga** are correct. **fish2** is another Monty Python one - This time Life of Brian (and no, I’m not a Monty Python geek, I just happened to know both of the Monty Python ones in this thread) **zig1** is that The Sand Pebbles?

Time to close mine out, I guess. D3: “It came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death whom you knew to be innocent.” _Judgment at Nuremberg._ D6: “Will you never learn?” _Hopscotch_. D7: “Justice will live as long as the human heart, and the law, as long as the human mind” _Billy Budd_. D8: “Second time.” _Bad Day at Black Rock_ D9: “Bid the soldiers shoot.” _Hamlet_ D10: “I wish to talk to you.” _Notorious!_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guess-the-movie-from-the-closing-line/143965.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guess-the-movie-from-the-closing-line/143965.md?page=8)
