Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Good guess, but no. This is a more recent film.
Glad to have you playing! Try again.

Even more recent.
"You are most wise to tie your horse. Were he to cover an Arab mare --"
"--the foal would have to be destroyed before it touches the ground... as would the sire."
"You hear that? Keep your pride tucked!"
"The Indians of the West. You have seen their vanishing kind?"
"I am their kind."
"What about your ability to tell the future?"
"If I had the ability to foretell the future, perhaps I would have bet on a painted horse."
"I didn't join this race to finish in second place!"
"Why did you then?"
"Mister... you can say anything you want about me. I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way."
"How is the coffee? If you were to put a horseshoe in it, do you suppose it would stand erect?"
"At your age uncle, I suppose it is that only thing that might!"
"Boldly spoken... for a man with no wives."

Hildago...?
Arab mare gave it away, actually the language was too racey for Snowy River in the original quote.

Same timeperiod but.....Here's more...
"Lady, you're about a half a bubble off plumb, and that's fer sure and fer certain."
"I remember once my Granddaddy told me how, when you're lost in the desert, you should sleep during the day and walk at night."
"Your Granddaddy tell you that? Did he also tell you we'll die, in the the desert, without those horses?"
"Well, what good are horses, if we die of thirst?"
"Once in a while she actually makes a little sense."
"What did you say, Roy?"
"Never mind."
"You know, if we're lost, you can tell me."
"We're lost."
"I can take bad news. Just tell me straight."
"I don't know where the hell we are."
"No sense takin' time to make it sound better than it is."
"I reckon we're goin' in circles."
"Wire things up and I'll see right through. So, just tell me honestly. Are we lost?"
"Nope. I know exactly where we are."
"That's good, 'cause, frankly, I was gettin' a little worried."

"Things seem different here. They say God made Australia last, don't you know, after he got tired of making everything else the same."
"Well, I seen some pretty country, that's for certain...You sure look pretty in that new blue dress."
"If you go after Marston, he'll kill you."
"Kid, next time she talks like that, pee all over the dress."

Not a problem. The first couple of clues should be a bit more challenging. Then, if no one gets it, make them easier. You're doing fine.

Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow.
