"The book that Jack was writing contained the one sentence ("All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy") repeated over and over. Stanley Kubrick had each page individually typed. For the Italian version of the film, Kubrick used the phrase "Il mattino ha l' oro in bocca" ("He who wakes up early meets a golden day"). For the German version, it was "Was Du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf Morgen" ("Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today"). For the Spanish version, it was "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" ("Rising early will not make dawn sooner.").

Sadly, I don't remember the movie which you quoted!
Okay, but I would have been happy to let someone else get the real title!
(Please forgive some of the language here.)
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the *****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
I have a question....does anyone else have trouble accessing this thread?
When I click on this thread, it rarely takes me to the last entry...it goes as far
as the video link from the Bogart/Bacall movie...
I try to open the thread from the beginning, try to open it from the last post, and even tried to open it from my own profile...but still there seems to be a glitch.
I'm posting this in the Flick thread...lol...which I probably won't be able to access...so if you gots answers,
Ever since the new system has been up, I haven't been able to access "Songs Remembered..." or "Flicks Remembered..." using Internet Explorer. I get a nasty sound and an error message. Now I use Mozilla for Greasespot Cafe. The problems don't seem to happen when I use it.

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.

Wouldn't you rather play a nice game of chess?
WW is correct, of course.

"Spaceballs" is correct, though "Athletes of the Spirit" wasn't a bad guess!

That's "the Shining."
BTW, in other languages, that's not the sentence that gets repeated all over the book.

You guessed 'er, Chester! So what line is it that gets repeated in other languages?

It varies between languages, presumably to a common, pithy saying easily recognized by the audience.
According to the IMDb page,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/trivia
"The book that Jack was writing contained the one sentence ("All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy") repeated over and over. Stanley Kubrick had each page individually typed. For the Italian version of the film, Kubrick used the phrase "Il mattino ha l' oro in bocca" ("He who wakes up early meets a golden day"). For the German version, it was "Was Du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf Morgen" ("Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today"). For the Spanish version, it was "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" ("Rising early will not make dawn sooner.").

I'm going to give it you, George, just because you also knew a real funny parody!
It was "To Have and Have Not"
Here's the steamy scene. (Bacall was only 19!)
