Move Quote time II - THE SEQUEL!

Not too surprising, since the title really doesn't connect to the plot that well. What do you call it when things just don't work quite right?
 
Haywire! That chick was pretty bada**. I would pay big bucks to see the Haywire chick fight Zoe Bell. :D
 
"He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."
 
I've seen Zombieland but didn't remember that line at all :o
What's really silly I saw coconut and thought tropical (lol)
 
While reading I thought "I know this one, I know this one", but only at "bodily fluids" it finally clicked:

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
 
"I've always thought that it was out of character for David to drink anything as corrupt as Whiskey."
"Out of character for him to be murdered, too."
 
I can't even venture a guess, even though it has a familiar echo in the back of my mind. It must be an old movie, though. People neither write nor speak that way anymore, sadly.
 
Old indeed, but from a very famous director. Here's probably the funniest scene in the movie:

A: "Oh, he was thrilling in that new thing with Bergman. What was it called now, the something of the something. No, no, that's the other one, this was just plain something. You know, it was sort of, you know."
R: "It is right on the tip of my tongue."
J: "Mine too, it was just plain something I'm sure, I adored it. Oh and Bergman!"
A: "She's the virgo type! Like all these, you know."
J: "Oh, I think she's lovely."
R: "I once went to the movies, I saw Mary Pickford."
A: "I was mad about her, didn't you love her?"
R: "Well, the virgo type rather, like all of these."
A: "Well what did you see her in?"
R: "I don't quite recall. The something something, or was it just plain something, uh really, something rather like that."
 
Some more hints:
The director was a pioneer of psychological thrillers, and this movie was more like a play, with very long scenes and only a couple of hidden cuts.

And another quote:
Rupert Cadell: "After all, murder is - or should be - an art. Not one of the 'seven lively', perhaps, but an art nevertheless. And, as such, the privilege of committing it should be reserved for those few who are really superior individuals."
Brandon Shaw: "And the victims: inferior beings whose lives are unimportant anyway."
Rupert Cadell: "Obviously. Now, mind you, I don't hold with the extremists who feel that there should be open season for murder all year round. No, personally, I would prefer to have...'Cut a Throat Week'... or, uh, 'Strangulation Day'... "

If nobody guesses it by tomorrow, I'll quote another movie.
 
Rope from Hitchcock. I think one of those guys was Jimmy Stewart, but I don't remember which one. That's a pretty obscure one!
 
You are absolutely right, Jimmy Stewart played Rupert Cadell, the one who finally discovered the murder.

You're up.
 
Here's an easy one, but a favorite:

"If I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away."

This sounds like John Clease or somthing from Monty Python

Yes, but which movie? It also contained the following classics in the same scene:

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."

"Supreme executive power come from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony."

"Now we see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm being repressed!"
 
I hate it when I tune in and a quote to which I know the answer to has already been guessed! Dear lord, that line from MP and the Holy Grail was one of my favorites and had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe the first, second, and possibly the third time I watched it! Who else could describe something as regal and mystical as The Lady in the Lake as a "Moistened Bint?"
