In the vein of "Songs remembered from just one line" I thought I'd add one for films. The idea here is that a line from a film is so memorable that it immediately identifies the film. (In lieu of a single line, a short exchange between characters is acceptable.) The movie itself, of course,should be fairly well-known.
You authored this thread George, but I don't see this line "Non" from Silent Movie being very memorable (if it is)? I mean, that's the key isn't it? Your words, "a line from a film so memorable that it immediately identifies the film". "Life is like a Box of Chocolates", "You're going to need a bigger boat", "I'll have what she's having", these are memorable lines. I couldn't identify with "Non" very well.

I could- in a movie called "Silent Movie" where the movie is really silent, to have the only actual spoken word said by MARCEL MARCEAU (a silent movie actor known for silent roles, finally heard on-screen), ot tends to stay with me. He was asked if he wanted to be in the movie, and turned them down. (Fourth wall moment, everyone?)
Yeah but you would be one in a thousand knowing that. Seems by definition here lately that EASY, isn't that easy is all I'm saying.
Well, Raf knew it, WW knew it, and I knew it. You didn't. That makes three out of four, not one in a thousand.
I haven't immediately recognized some of the other quotes.  Some are going to be EASIER than others. Had I just given the line ("Non."), it might have been more problematic, but the fact that I mentioned it was the only SPOKEN line in the movie made it obvious to some Mel Brooks fans.
For what it's worth: The clue gave it away for me. The quote did not.
And it took very, very little time. So yeah, I agree with both you guys and if I had the energy to GAF I probably would raise more of a okay I've already bored myself. WordWolf, you're up!

I'll leave a hint now that it seems to have reached a dead end. The clue is from an iconic Golden age Hollywood movie quoted by an iconic actor (careful, which is it actor or actress) spoken to another iconic Golden age actor.

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

Pretty sure this is "Raiders of the Lost Ark," but I'll wait for confirmation.

I'm guessing this comes from something like "Spaceballs"?

Can't be the first movie. However, the lunar shuttle went into space in "AIRPLANE-THE SEQUEL."
