Since we have so many movie fans here, I thought I'd start a movie quote game.
Here's the rules - I'll start with a quote. You must answer what movie the quote was from, and then make a quote yourself, from a different movie.
Sound good?
Here goes : Name the movie this quote is from :
"Obscene finger gestures from such a pristine girl."

If so, then:
"Tina, you fat lard!"
EDIT: Argle-bargle. Larry beat me to it 😵.
Do we each need to guess the other's quote in order for the game to progress?
If so, we're in trouble, because I don't have the slightest clue about yours.

You got there first, though, so I think we just ignore mine and leave yours to be guessed. To force this, mine is from a newish indie film called ''Napoleon Dynamite'', and 'Tina' is a llama.
I said 'argle-bargle' because I saw it on your list. I also have a friend who used to use it occasionally as a greeting, accompanied by a rapid sideways head motion.

I Googled your quote, but wouldn't have posted the answer after doing so. I've never even heard of that movie.
Mine is a rather old movie. I'll give a hint: it was Anthony Hopkins' film debut. It is actually Google-able, by my test. Not that I encourage that tactic 🙂
I seem to recall having trouble with your movie quotes in the last thread of this nature, precisely because they were such new movies you picked. I eventually did see Donnie Darko, though.

Stevenson used 'argle-bargle' in Kidnapped.
In fact, I recall that it was in the phrase, 'haggle and argle-bargle,' which is memorable due to the -gle's.

EDIT:- haven't put a quote in as I am not sure if this is right

So where's that quote from Huntingbear? I don't recognize it either...
Without Googling the actual words of the quote, perhaps some hints might help a web search...
I already mentioned that it is Anthony Hopkins' film debut... if someone searched for a list of movies in which he's played they might just find the earliest one...

But you are incorrect about Hopkins' film debut.

"Hopkins made his film debut in 1967, playing Richard the Lionhearted in The Lion in the Winter, starring Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn. He received a British Academy Award nomination and the film received an Academy Award as Best Picture."
So what's the next quote?
