great job Nick take it away

Thanks.

"Thank God. I'm glad I weren't on fire - I would've burned to death. All you've got is one button undone."

This one could be kind of difficult.

The Last Picture Show....?

Very good, your turn!

"Am I supposed to spend the rest of my life dreaming what I could have been?"

Good luck!

OK... not even any guesses... can you give us another clue?

Here are some lines by the same actor which immediately precede the original quote:

"I'm a filmmaker, that's all I am. I don't know what else to do. What the hell do they think I'm gonna do? Blow all the bridges if the Red Army comes invading Manhattan? Jesus, I can't even get a job at a goddamn film equipment store....nothing."

Not sure if I'm giving too much away here, but as it's been up here a few days with no successful guesses maybe this will help move things along....

Cheers~

Sounds to me like Woody Allen. Stardust Memories?

Must... have... closure!

That would be Robert De Niro as David Merrill in 'Guilty By Suspicion'.

There ya go!

I feel better.

Well it's still your turn Michael -- hit us with another one!

Has the game stalled?
 

I've been reading these quotes and it seems I'm out of the loop for these gen-Xer flicks.

Well, Michael's delay here has just cost him his turn. I'll kick-start this thing back up with an easy one... way too easy:

"You buy a bag of peanuts in this town, they write a song about ya."

Citizen Kane.. =)
