Always been on of my fave movies from when I was a kid. Hayley Mills, Maurice Chevalier, Wilfred Hyde-White, George Saunders. Also had Wilfred Brambell, maybe not famous in the US but very famous in the UK in the sitcop Steptoe and Son. Michael Anderson Jnr was in it too and apart from a US TV series called The Monroes, the only other film I can think of him being in was Logan's Run.
The first quote was Professor Paganel explaining to Lord Glenarvon how he found the bottle which purported to be written by the missing Captain Grant.
The second was the native bearers in the Andes explaining in their own language why they would not carry on through the mountain pass - Trango Peeray means earthquake but Paganel mistranslates this as meaning cold.
The third is Bill Gaye explaining that he had forged the note in the bottle.
The fourth is from the song sung by Paganel as he cooks an omlette in the Ombu Tree.
I really did not think the film would have been that obscure to people!

Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

it's part of a trilogy... although you wouldn't really think of it that way...
no one is ever going to guess...

I'd be willing to bet you've stumped us Tref...

I have no knowledge of it being a trilogy...
OK let's try to be a but more blatently obvious...
It is based on a novel by Jules Verne and was filmed by Walt Disney.
It starts in Glasgow.
Another quote tomorrow

Tref, I cheated... "they" said it was part of a trilogy (along with 20,000 leagues under the sea and mysterious island)

I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress!

"Jonny Tremain"? (Haven't seen it in forty years, so it's a wild guess.)

Great movie -- saw the play at Ford Theater and sat next to Lincoln's booth!
Next clue should be easy
