Uh, this one came to mind for some reason:

No one got "Excuse me, I heard singing." Is it Solaris?

No. The hint is: in the English-dubbed version, the quote is:

"Excuse me, I heard a noise".

I have a feeling this one of Akira's movies - right?

I'm thinking it's probably one presented with an English dub. So, Hard-Boiled?

You're right its a disc with an English dub. But you're barking up the wrong continent. Is this getting tedious? Should I just give it away? It's actually key to a very famous scene in the film (even if the quote itself is clearly not that memorable).

"Excuse me, I heard singing." - La Strada?

"Children and death are a bad combination." - Man Bites Dog?

How about: "You smell like a f***ing pizza!"

Nope. Since I am about to leave for a week of work travel, I'll give a hint: It's not a feature - you can even say obscure.

That would be Sid And Nancy!

I'm still lost on "Children and death are a bad combination."

Here is a new one until we solve above:

"The War Starts At Midnight!"

"The War Starts at Midnight": The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

I prefer not to give a new quote since there are still two quotes outstanding. (Even though I've got a real killer up my sleeve . . .)

"Excuse me, I heard a noise" - Diabolique?

"Children and death are a bad combination."

Cronenberg's CAMERA!!!!!

I'm still lost on the other one though, so I won't post a new one.

Thank you! Finally. That's been bugging me for the past 2 days. I knew I heard it somewhere...

Last hint on "Excuse me, I heard singing"/"Excuse me, I heard a noise":

They're the first words spoken to a group of people who have just broken a long period of silence.

I realise it's impolite to interrupt, but we seem to have run aground on the singing, so I'll make a wild guess (Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and suggest a new one:

"They were dealing with a staunch character"

I'll defer to someone else for the next quote.
