In something completely unrelated to here, someone mentioned Olivier to me the other day.  Otherwise, I'd probably still be wondering.  The movie sounds better than I'd expected.

"So far of those I've used, I haven't had much luck with any of them. Well, let's see what they say about this one. They tell you what it's ingredients are, and how it's guaranteed to exterminate every insect in the world, but they do not tell you whether or not it's painless. And I say, insect or man, death should always be painless."
Â
     "Sam, this is the last time."
"For what?"
"For this. Meeting you in secret so we can be secretive. You come down here on business trips, the occasional lunch hour, and I wish you wouldn't even come."
"All right, what do we do instead? Write each other lurid love letters? I can come down next week."
"No."
"Not even just to see you? Have lunch? Â Â Â In public."
"Oh, we can see each other. We can even have dinner, but respectably — in my house with my mother's picture on the mantle, and my sister helping me broil a big steak for three."
"And after the steak, do we send sister to the movies? Turn mama's picture to the wall?"
"Sam!"
"All right. Marion, whenever it's possible I want to see you and under any circumstances, even respectability."
"You make respectability sound disrespectful."
"Oh no, I'm all for it. But it requires patience, temperance, with a lot of sweating out. Otherwise though, it's just hard work. But if I could see you and touch you, you know, simply as this, I won't mind."

"Psycho," then? Jamie Lee Curtis is arguably better known than Janet Leigh.  (Incidentally, I haven't seen this movie, either. Horror was not (and is not) a favorite genre of mine.)
The film is based on the novel of the same name. The novel is the first part of a trilogy by Kevin Kwan.
Tyersall Park, Nick's grandmother's home, is actually in Kuala Lumpur. Per The Hollywood Reporter: "Tyersall Park, the mansion of the Young family matriarch, was created out of two abandoned Malaysian government-owned buildings in Kuala Lumpur. The jungle had started to take over, floors had collapsed, there was monkey poop and bat populations," says production designer Nelson Coates, who stripped out carpeting, stenciled the floors to look like expensive tile, and found a local muralist to create leafy graphics for the walls.
As of October 2018, the film had grossed over $235 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in a decade.

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."

That's all well and good, but I think we could use a few more quotes.

It is Lawrence of Arabia.
Someone got left behind. Lawrence refused to let him die, though he was warned that the person's death was "written," which is to say fated.

You've heard of this movie. And probably the sequels. And almost certainly the remake.

Was the lead actress, whose daughter is arguably more famous than she is, catcalled on her way into a pet store?
Nah, that would be crazy.

George, if you can start describing 2 of the main characters, you'll probably figure out which movie this is.

Raf's clue would imply "The Birds."Â I haven't seen the movie, so the lines and the characters' names don't ring any bells.

All right then. Tippi Hedren movie, but not The Birds.
Not getting it.

Can we stick with quotes in this game and trivia in Mash Up?
This sounds like insane people we used to call oriental but not anymore, but nonetheless are at least fairly well off

I mean Crazy Rich Asians

Sorry. The threads got confused. That was the correct film, though.
I think I had originally planned to use quotes, and then inadvertently got into the trivia section...
