The first one is _Breaker Morant_. The second is, of course, _Casablanca_.

Here’s mine:

“Miss Jean Louse, stand up, your father’s passing.”

Correct in both your guesses. Your quotation is, of course, from _To Kill a Mockingbird_.

Wilford Brimley’s greatest role, in _Absence of Malice_. Love that scene, where he - playing a Justice Dept. heavyweight - gathers all of the characters in one room and lays all their schemes bare.

Here are some more:

“The President addressed a joint session of Congress and said we’re gonna stand up to the Soviets no matter what. He evoked Lincoln. Whenever a President’s gonna get us in trouble, they always evoke Lincoln.”

“I’m your number-one fan!”

“You know what’s the most annoying sound in the world?”

“You’re not affiliated with me!”

“And don’t wear the same color suits. This isn’t the Matrix.”
