I probably should have put a smiley face--but I'm against those.

It is a translation but it's silly dialogue. The individual is hungover. And German.

Is it from "Ali - Fear Eats The Soul"? Saw it a few weeks ago and Ali sure got drunk from time to time and could have been saying that line!

From your hints, I'd guess the Merry Jail, which I haven't gotten around to seeing yet.

If I'm right, someone else please provide the next quote.

How about this one:

"If we can have your planes, you can have our baskets"

"If we can have your planes, you can have our baskets"

The Battle Of Algiers.

How about:

"If I was to be buried in Potter's Field, it would just about kill me."

kieslowski wrote: "If I was to be buried in Potter's Field, it would just about kill me."

Just watched it yesterday..."Pickup On South Street"

Does this mean we've run out of quotations? (I think we've had the Battle of Algiers one before as well.)

Here's a Christmas parcel of 'em: easy, hard and weird.

"There is no such thing as love, only proofs of love."

"You ate fish in Hamburger Heaven. What did you do that for?"

This one's for Matt. The line probably isn't in the film, but it should be (if you know it you'll understand - I hope):
"We'll meet once again
And once again continue to play."

And which trailer on a Criterion disc promotes its movie with the line: "Nothing coarse about this film!"

No, I can't find it! Thanks for the new ones! My brains hurt!

Fat Girl

"There's a Bergman film in the neighborhood."
"I don't feel like getting depressed tonight."

Faces

Next one:

When you wake up,w ipe the slugs off your face. Be ready for a new day!

Nope.

I love your Faces quotation, though. Talk about irony!

Looks like this thread has run aground on both my quotations, so here are some clues.

"There is no such thing as love, only proofs of love" has been identified as a favourite quotation of Picasso's, and that's probably because a friend of his is responsible for it. Find Pablo's cameo in the collection and you'll know which friend we're talking about.

"You ate fish in Hamburger Heaven. What did you do that for?" is from a recent release and the unfortunate fish-eater is the speaker's mother.

Or if those are still too hard, on which two separate releases can you fiind the immortal line "Cello cello cello cello cello cello cello cello"?

When you wake up, wipe the slugs off your face. Be ready for a new day!

- My Own Private Idaho

How about this one - I think it's tough:

"Okay, Bull, boy, you eat like you're successful"

That's from "Salesman," yes?

So here's one:

"I approve of larceny. Homicide is against my principles."

(Bonus points for naming the actor, too.)

The Killers - Ronald Reagan

And an easy one: "And here's your receipt for my receipt"

Brazil

How about: "I realised that in becoming a gentleman, I had only succeeded in becoming a snob."

Great Expectations.

"The main thing about doing stuntwork is 'safety first,' I learned that from Burt Reynolds himself."

Er, the Beastie Boys Video Anthology?

Mine: "Imagination is something splendid, a mighty force, a gift from God."

That's "Fanny and Alexander."

"You know what? You're the most perfect person I ever met."

Jonny Pasadena wrote:"You know what? You're the most perfect person I ever met."

3 Women

"This chick's living in a new car ad."

My Own Private Idaho

Next: "The world is a den of thieves and night is falling."

Fanny and Alexander again?

"They say a moonlit deck is a woman's business office"

"They say a moonlit deck is a woman's business office"

I'm not entirely sure that F&A is right for the previous, but I believe this is from The Lady Eve.

"You're a naughty one, saucy Jack!"
