Thank you Ian. :)

A little bit of useless information first; when my son, Ian, was at junior school, Joanne Harris's mother-in-law was his form teacher.

I hope that the following will not prove to be more of the same ... :fsbgrin: :fswink:

A - I didn't kill my wife.
B - I don't care.

Saw that one in the cinema. Didn't remember the quote but certainly remember the performance by Simmons.

I saw the following one on TV a couple of days ago.

A: You. Plant yourself in that chair.
B: What are you gonna do with...
A: I said "plant yourself." Plants don't talk.

Possibly a bit obscure? It's a very strange film that starts off in one genre and then switches to another half way through.

From Dusk 'til Dawn was similar with a total switch part way through - don't know the lines though..

Plummy is correct. From Dusk To Dawn starts off as a gangster road movie and then turns into a vampire movie. It was on TV the other day - that's what made me think of it.

Oops - didn't even know I'd got the last one right. From about the only film I've seen recently that I really liked...

OK, I presume it's not Shrek or Frozen. Sounds like the kind of line Harrison Ford might deliver. Is it the latest Star Wars film, The Force Awakens?

Sounds more like from an animation, a Disney film?

Time for hints:
1) Michael J Fox stars
2) Includes homage to a character from Full Metal Jacket
