"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." (And women.)
I heard that movie is part of the reason why Sean Connery retired from acting. He was so disappointed with the outcome that he decided to leave acting for good. So far, except for a couple voice acting roles, it was his last movie.

I hadn't noticed, but you're right, he hasn't been on screen since that movie. Of course, he was 73 at the time, so retiring might have had nothing to do with the movie.

" You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"

You're too good-looking. Girls go out with you and get nervous. They feel dumpy, they don't want to compete. They want a guy...... like me. A guy who'll make them look good.
OH WOW! That was such a totally 80s chick flick movie that was one I knew. Okay!!! Give me a little bit here, Let me think of one...I have a movie in mind, I just have to find the lines.
OKAY... I'm going to start off with this line, then if nobody gets it, I'll give a better one. Here it is....
Don't worry, Mr. Simms. I look weird, but otherwise I'm real normal. Everything'll be cool.
First you told me he was gonna be retarded, then you told me he was gonna be blind AND deaf. If I'd dug his grave every time one of you geniuses told me he was gonna die, I'd be eating (bleep) chop suey in China by now!
PS: In THIS thread, it's perfectly acceptable (if not actually encouraged!) to start with more obscure lines, and then easier ones, if no one gets it. In "Flicks Remembered from One Line," you're supposed to make the one line as obvious as possible.

OKAY George, gotcha! I was thinking about that too, thanks for the help and I'll catch on! :) And YES! It is Mask, lol. Your turn. :)

"You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?"
"You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years."

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."

Let's keep the ball in play.
George seems not to be ready, so we can move on.
It will be his turn again soon one way or another...
Go for it.

You know what your problem is?
What?
Your face.
Come on!

A basic Neanderthal type.
Yeah, a swarthy type. A man's man.
Yo, Gus. How about a refill?
Yo, Dan. You know where the coffee is.
I'm trying to impress my date.
Then you shouldn't have brought her here.

Not Fail Safe. Not a bad guess, though.

Not Air Force One. This might make it easier:
