"The rhino is the self-appointed fire-prevention officer. When he sees a fire, he rushes in and stamps it out."Probably wrong, but this reminds me of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy 2.
The Gods Must Be Crazy 2 is one of the few occasions where I thought the sequel was better than the original.
Haven't thought about those movies in years. Definately liked the sequal better.
H:"I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot. "

Sounds like the Treant in The Two Towers.

Reminds me of Legolas and Gimli in Rohan.
Then again, I could be wrong.

Star Trek: First Contact
One of the better ST movies: "And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."
"The password is swordfish."
I don't know if this is what you were quoting or if what I saw was riffing off of what you are quoting, but I was watching a Scooby-Doo episode with my daughter the other day that used that line.
MH: But I wanted to know what it was like... how you feel.
JM: You know how I was supposed to feel. That person isn't me... never was. You wanted to know what it was about us that made us human. Well, you're not going to find it... [points at his head] ...in here. You were looking in the wrong place.
Hint: Sci-fi. "Cash on the barrel head."
CD: Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
Hint: Comedy. "This is a man, who when he washes his face, loses the bar of soap."

Oh Yeah... I remember that now.
Groucho: And I want you to stay after class.
Female Student: But, sir. I didn't do anything wrong.
Groucho: I know, but what fun would it be to keep them after class. *waggles eyebrows*
I love that movie, too.

CCR: How do I look?

Same Movie:

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
MU: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.
Excellent movie - As Good as it Gets.
Indeed. And correct. :)
Man 1: Can I ask you something?
Man 2: Go ahead, ask me.
Man 1: How come we doing this?
Man 2: For the good ol' American way. For the money, for the glory, and for the fun. Mostly for the money.

Nope, older.

Smoky and the Bandit, as I recall. It's been... quite a while.

I watched Disney's Robin Hood so much when I was around eight years old that I still have large swaths of the dialogue memorized. It's both a blessing and a curse.
That's... beautiful, Te'Shen.
EDIT: I loved that movie. Also Sword in the Stone, and Fox and the Hound.

Didn't have the time to read the entire thread, these are just some of my favorites, amongst many others. Hopefully I didn't repeat too many.
"Why are you messing with the fantasy? We know about the reality. Don't ruin the fantasy, ok?"
"You're not Lebeouf."
"If you're intention was to shoot an arrow, through my heart... BULLSEYE!"
"He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I'm afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died..."

Thank you. Both of those are very good movies, as well... and the Fox and the Hound is so mature. It kind of makes me sad at the difference in how we, as a culture, treat children. I think we have moved from treating them as little people and treating them like kids.
Of course that could just be my perception of it. I could be wrong.
. . . "He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I'm afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died..."
Clue.
Oh my god, I love Madeline Kahn... It makes me wonder, do you think a certain wit and style has been slowly evaporating from the movie industry?
Clue was absolutely amazing. I don't know of another film that did what it did with the endings... and I don't know if it's even possible to pull it off in the modern world (the Internet being what it is). Frankly, it's a bit of cinema history that's... really well done.
Also, hahahahah! "Slowly" he says!
(That said, in truth, I'm reasonably sure that there have always been great movies and terrible movies; the great ones tend to stick around while the terrible ones tend to be forgotten. Thus we have large volumes of great older films while being blitzkreig'd with modern movies of varying skilled craftsmanship. Thus we have a very inherently skewed view of movies: "older is good, newer is often crap" - it's a kind of confirmation bias. Like older tv shows.)

That's fair. I'm probably just romanticizing things. :)
It reminds me of something George Carlin said about perception/time. Most people want to look backward and say 'It was better when...' when in reality the past isn't really special because we romanticize things. Things weren't better or worse at any particular point, just crap with a different set of problems... paraphrased.

Oh Robin! You lost your arms in the war!... but you grew a nice set of boobs.

The first one is actually Prince Albert Windsor to Lionel Logue in The King's Speech.
The second was Legolas and Gimli in Rohan.

I romanticize things all the time.
Also, it seems, reference "old times being better" that there were fewer choices, and that can also lead to greater stress and less happiness. Interesting psychological studies on that. :)

Remembered a couple more.
1. "If somebody can open the retrieval hatch, down here I can get out. See, I designed this device myself"-- *Sound of hatch opening* - "Oh, hi. Good. I'm glad you found me. Listen. I'm very badly burned, so if you could just"-- *Gunshot sound* "You shot me!"
"Okay, moving on."
"You shot me right in the arm! Why did"-- *Another gunshot sound, hatch closes*
"Right."
2. "Boards, don't hit back."
3. "You have been weighed, You've been measured, And you absolutely have been found wanting." - Multiple quotes in one technically.
I will agree that some of the wit that was in some of those particular movies seems to be far less present today, however I don't attribute that to the era or time period, more so the director and writer. Some day we may see another director or writer along the lines of those movies and I for one would be interested in seeing those movies.

Austin Powers... the second one I think.

The filthy, cheating cheater in Bloodsport

Ok... I can only think of the book of Daniel now and the writing on the wall... mene mene tekel upharsin... which is not a movie.

And that could be true as well.
