I could be wrong but for most part we seem to have much more time on our hands than usual these days. So here goes, here's a quote from a film. First person to guess the film correctly should add a film quote themselves.

"There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door; those that come in by the window."

And the film is?

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

What about ?

"Mongo only pawn in game of life"

One of the few memorable quotes from an overrated film known as Blazing Saddles I think. Quite a hard film to watch, a bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey, never did know what all the fuss is about.

What about; 'We're going to need a bigger boat.

Jaws.

"Non!"

Okay, a bit harder then:

'Frankly, you're beginning to smell and for a stud in New York, that's a handicap.'

Definitely not that, still known as the only x-rated film to win awards.

I didn't know that was a quote. A bit more context is needed as one word is a bit tough.

That gives it away : Midnight Cowboy with Angelina Jolie's Dad and The RainMan

What about 'I'm going to sit in the car and whistle Rule Britannia'.

Unfortunately having been tricked by the previous quote we cannot consider any Marcel Marceau films.

Every self respecting member of generation X knows that

We're going to need a bigger boat.

is from Clerks, where the line from Jaws "You're going to need a bigger boat" is misquoted.

"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

You obviously know the answer - "Non!" was the only word spoken in the film!

I have no idea of what it is. Papillion?
