[Lord Jim]

This isn't a tough one...

You don't have to be a Jessica Fletcher or Inspector Frank Luger to figure it out...

[Econoline]

I really don't feel like coming up with another title+clues+retorts to Ray/Jim/Meade/Big RR/etc.

So...I'm gonna just sit this one out...

I'll be over here in the corner playing solitaire...

[Lord Jim]

Too easy....

[Lord Jim]

OK, let's put all the clues so far in one post and see if that helps:

First the quote:

My dear girl, have you ever noticed that the human race is divided into two distinct and irreconcilable groups: those that walk into rooms and automatically turn television sets on, and those that walk into rooms and automatically turn them off. The trouble is that they end up marrying each other.

And the clues:

This is a classic flick; (based on a best selling novel of the same name) it was also the victim of a crap remake a few years ago...

The Candidate?

I'm afraid I can only give you partial credit for that one, Big RR...[This isn't just a clue; it's a Big Fat Clue]

No, in this game it's all or nothing. Old blue eyes wouldn't have it any other way.

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy...

And here are three more quotes:

(Name Redacted) is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

It's a terrible thing to hate your mother. But I didn't always hate her. When I was a child, I only kind of disliked her.

His brain has not only been washed, as they say... It has been dry cleaned.

Surely, with all of that, somebody can get this...

[wesw]

[wesw]

[Lord Jim]

[wesw]

[MajGenl.Meade]

Is it something about a man chewing a candied date?

(Tee hee; wesw's never heard of Ocean's 11; the Detective; Von Ryan's Express. Very sad he missed High Society - that's a brilliant movie movie)

[Big RR]

[wesw]

fu Manchu?

[Crackpot]

I feel a little guilty taking this one as I’ve never seen it and only have a rough idea of what it’s about.

The Manchurian Candidate

[Crackpot]

This movie was a bit of a cultural phenomenon at the time of it’s release

Narrator: That morning, X saw the ugliest person he'd ever come across. She was as pale as something that had crawled out of a rotting log. Her hair was quite gruesome; long and stringy and white, as if she was very old. She was very big - you'd have to dig the whole day to find enough food to feed her.

[Big RR]

CP, if this is the movie I think it is, the original dates back quite a while (the 70s I think), but it was remade under another name within the last 10 years or so. The quote sounds like it could be from either (or both) so a time frame might help.

As always, I'll refrain from a guess for the first day or so.
