"But given our needs, given the absolute necessity for growth, given the future, the truth is, joining John Bontecou is every bit as certain as death and taxes."

AHAT, I think the clues on this thread are supposed to be reeeeal easy. Maybe you've picked quotes better suited for Name That Flick, where stumping people is a little more the norm?
Or maybe this is a real easy quote to a movie I don't know.
Raf is correct. The "Flicks Remembered..." and "Songs Remembered..." threads are set up so that the burden is on the poser to make it so easy that MOST people should be able to get it. The "Name That..." threads are where the poser can be subtlerwith lines or lyrics. In those threads, it's customary to start out with more obscure lines and make them easier until someone guesses correctly. As a corrolary, the tunes and films in the "Remembered from One" threads should generally be very well-known.
"Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here..."
"Hudson!"
"...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA GET US!"
"Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?"

Human without the bean
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.

Another hint:
"Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but millenia in a place with no doors."

No need to apologize. That's just the difference between the two threads. This one's supposed to be deliberately easy.
[Will someone please correct me if I'm mistaken?]

"We'd better get back, because it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. Mostly."
Hope that's easy enough.

Sorry. Totally forgot about this one.
How about this:
"Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here..."
"Hudson!"
"...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA GET US!"
"Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?"
"Why don't you put her in charge?"

Sounds like "Night of the Living Dead" the remake, I suspect.

No. Sorry. I thought those were easy lines.
This may not be the exact quote, but it's the right sentiment:
Get your hands off her, you bitch!

I haven't seen any of this series, so this is still a wild guess: "Alien"?

Yeah, I definitely got the quote wrong, but clearly I was right enough to draw out the correct-ish answer.
It was Aliens.
Your move.

(I'm pretty sure it was "Get away from her, you b%tch!"
The line became a running thing in a few obscure circles.)

I can't ever see Terrence Stamp in anything without hearing him demanding people kneel.
Not once I know it's Stamp.

I'll accept any of three movies for this one. But only the three obvious ones. No parodies.
My precious...
