Okay, this is a toughie, but a great movie:

"At one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage."

To make it easier, I'll put another from the same movie:
"--What were you fighting for?
--Oh, big issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice. Kings died and kingdoms fell. You know, I don't regret the kingdoms. I see no sense in borders and nations and patriotism. But I do miss the kings."

Are these from "12 Monkeys"?

I had to search for it, so I won't say the name of the movie. But damn.. that's a little obscure to our pop-culture society of ours.

Yeah...I can be pretty obscure... :lol:

Nice one, Paul. Good call. Great movie.

JimG's is Apocolypse Now. Another fantastic movie. Because, you know, it smells like...Victory.

I searched so I won't say, but if I'm right there are some other good ones from the same movie:

"I must have fruit!"

"Look, do you want to be leader of this gang?"
"No, we agreed: No leader!"
"Right. So shut up and do as I say."

"God is not interested in technology... He knows nothing of the potential of the micro-chip or the silicon revolution."

Hammer's got it, but he's not saying.

Since it's been three days, though, I'll reveal the answer, adn someone else can post one. It's from Time Bandits, one of Gillam's absolute best works.
