I probably should have put a smiley face--but I'm against those.

It is a translation but it's silly dialogue. The individual is hungover. And German.

Is it from "Ali - Fear Eats The Soul"? Saw it a few weeks ago and Ali sure got drunk from time to time and could have been saying that line!

From your hints, I'd guess the Merry Jail, which I haven't gotten around to seeing yet.

If I'm right, someone else please provide the next quote.

The Battle Of Algiers.

How about:

"If I was to be buried in Potter's Field, it would just about kill me."

Does this mean we've run out of quotations? (I think we've had the Battle of Algiers one before as well.)

Here's a Christmas parcel of 'em: easy, hard and weird.

"There is no such thing as love, only proofs of love."

"You ate fish in Hamburger Heaven. What did you do that for?"

This one's for Matt. The line probably isn't in the film, but it should be (if you know it you'll understand - I hope):
"We'll meet once again
And once again continue to play."

And which trailer on a Criterion disc promotes its movie with the line: "Nothing coarse about this film!"

Nope.

I love your Faces quotation, though. Talk about irony!

Looks like this thread has run aground on both my quotations, so here are some clues.

"There is no such thing as love, only proofs of love" has been identified as a favourite quotation of Picasso's, and that's probably because a friend of his is responsible for it. Find Pablo's cameo in the collection and you'll know which friend we're talking about.

"You ate fish in Hamburger Heaven. What did you do that for?" is from a recent release and the unfortunate fish-eater is the speaker's mother.

Or if those are still too hard, on which two separate releases can you fiind the immortal line "Cello cello cello cello cello cello cello cello"?

That's from "Salesman," yes?

So here's one:

"I approve of larceny. Homicide is against my principles."

(Bonus points for naming the actor, too.)

I'm not entirely sure that F&A is right for the previous, but I believe this is from The Lady Eve.
