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."

If it's what I think it is, I LOVE this movie! Way underrated.
A few years ago, another movie with the same name came out. Other than that, not much in common.

Well, I looked it up, and I was wrong. I'm not aware of a second movie by the same name. Not saying there wasn't one, but my guess was wrong.
My guess did, however, have a major word in common with the correct title. But that doesn't help you unless you know my wrong guess.

I figured you might have a soft spot for the movie based on who wrote the original story-
but I wouldn't have counted on it.

The game show quote should be a giveaway. I'll reveal the movie I THOUGHT it was when someone posts the correct answer.

That's it.
I've known plenty of people who would chime in to complete the quote about
"You're lucky he didn't kill you."

"You killed the only two people I ever loved. Why?"
"Business. That's all it ever is, is business."
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a week since my last..."
"What the hell are you playing at, Matt? You didn't come here for forgiveness. You came for permission, and I can't give you that."
"Justice isn't a sin, Father."

It's an Iron Man movie. I believe it's the third one.

My favorite line during the Senate hearing.
(There's a great line when he's leaving the hearing, of course.)

By the way, the Running movie I was thinking of earlier was Running Scared, with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. Carry on...
