Here’s the game: name the movie (film, for all you snobs) that a quote is from, and earn the honor of posting the next quote. Since I’m here, I’ll start if off:

Those were movies, damn you! I’m flesh and blood, life size, no larger! I’m not that silly goddamed hero, I never was!

For lack of a better guess, how bout Blankman?

I’m probably wrong though, I haven’t seen it in years.

Sounds like either “Last Action Hero” or “My Favorite Year”. But I’m probably wrong too…

You are the (lucky)? winner to my lame-ass thread. Well, 1/2 winner. It’s from My Favorite Year, and not The Last Action Hero.  
Congrats. Please post a new quote. I’m sure my fellow dopers are waiting with bated breath to jump on it, and continue the thread.

Oh, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you…

These games should be called “Stump Google”. The search engine has taken the fun and fairness out of them.

ok ok i’ll bite.  
it’s the most common movie quote  
they mention this fact, as well as the quote itself several times in “Fight Club”  
i can’t actually think of any more.
