OK I know I seem to watch obscure movies so I will give a hint besides the "one line" First line actors were Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman. The line...
I seem to remember a film with Jean Reno as a professional assassin and a young girl he grudgingly protects. It was a while ago, so maybe that was Portman. I think it was called "The Professional."

Yep. "The Running Man." It featured Erland van Lidth de Jeude as Dynamo. Erland was an acquaintance of mine at MIT, where he was an engineering major, wrestler, and actor. I believe that it is actually his voice in the scenes where Dynamo is singing opera. In "Stir Crazy," another voice was dubbed in the scene where he sings in a jail cell. His first feature film was "The Wanderers." Sadly, weight was always a problem, and he died of heart failure at the young age of 34. :(
Hiway got it. Honor Blackman was the Bond girl, "Pus sy Galore." (Of course, the Austin Powers character "Alotta Vagina" was a direct spoof.) After having met her, Bond comes across her in a barn and exclaims her name. I suppose that if I could have typed it with his Scottish burr, it would have been more obvious.
No, though the scene does involve golf, and it is a comedy.
I just realized that I had the name wrong; and the exact quote is "Just be the ball, be the ball, be the ball. You're not being the ball Danny."
Here's another line: "This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion."

Hello, Mr.Wolf, I'd like you to meet my wife Mrs. Human. She's loves those movies.

But you are right, perhaps this should be a movie mashup clue. but I would get this movie from one line, lol.

This one needs two lines. The first barely narrows it down. ;)
"I'll be back!"
"Only in the reruns, darlin'."

The first line gives the star away.
Where would one find "reruns"?

"Don't touch that dial!"
"What's the greatest television show in the whole wide world?"
"THE RUNNING MAN!"
"Who loves you, and who do you love?"
"KILLIAN!
"It's showtime!"
I think Richard Dawson LOVED acting in that movie. He certainly seemed to
be the actor who enjoyed it most.

That's interesting. I was thinking the opera singer might have enjoyed
the movie as much as Dawson, but for some reason I didn't post it.
Ok, next movie.

I know that this is a Bogart film, but I'm not sure which one. My best guess is
"Casablanca."

It is indeed "Casablanca."

I almost hate myself for this one:
"Pus sy!" (Hint: this was spoken in surprise, not contempt or anger.)

P.S. I had to break the word up to get it past the cuss-blocker.

I think nobody else has an idea.
Can you post the answer or something?

Never seen it, but the groundskeeper has to be in "Caddyshack."

It does, indeed. The "Be the ball" line was Chevy Chase teaching a young man how to golf.

I have a feeling that that is a metqaphorical statement, but assuming it to be literal:
"Tremors"?
