To quote myself, from the first post in this thread (with added emphasis):
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. For example, if I give the line: "Be good, be gone, or be dead." anyone who has seen "Traxx" would immediately recognize it. Unfortunately, very few people have seen "Traxx," so it wouldn't be a fair clue for this game. The burden here is on the clue-giver. You are not trying to be tricky, but to be as obvious as possible.
I suspect that more people have seen "Traxx" than "The Wizard of Speed and Time." I realize that you can only use "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" so many times. Not everyone will know any given movie. But, really, "The Wizard of Speed and Time"?

I apologize. I'll correct the error in the future.
I suspect that the news clue isn't much better
This one is more widely known
I'll try "Elf".
Christmas movie it is, but not that one. Anotther clue:
"You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook."
Lets see WordWolf so this is a line from a movie that's so familiar to us (we the participants) that its easy to recognize. Since facebook has only been around for 7 years this movie must be a newer one. Is it Sex and The City?

No.
This movie JUST won an Oscar, which should give you a much smaller "window" of time to work with.

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.

Rocky 4 is correct. Rocky is talking about Drago. It was Paulie and Duke in his corner.
You're up, WordWolf.

I saw the Social network, which was about facebook, but that's too
easy. However, easy is how it's supposed to be right! So let's say The Social Network

All right, technically, George rang in with the correct answer.
However, he might want to let Hw/oB take this one in the interests of variety,
but it's his choice.

I know that's Brando. I'm pretty sure it's from "On the Waterfront."
