General (whatshisname?) in Dr. Strangelove. - I have the video

Okay, another. Who said;

"And soon I shall have understanding of video cassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being."

(Hint: The same Director as 12 Monkeys directed this movie)

All my movies seem to have a common thread..hhhmmmm

Well, the director must be Terry Gilliam, I guess I haven't seen that one.

Another clue for:

Anyone?

It's gotta be Ladykillers because I can't even imagine Sir Alec Guinnes saying those words in any other movie, say like the Bridge on the River Kwai. I just didn't remember the lady's name being Mrs. Wilberforce.

I liked Tom Hanks portrayal too but Sir Alec always seems to improve a movie. Besides that, I'm partial to the older movies.

Not an easy video to find, that one (with Sir Alec Guinnes) I've looked for it in the video stores...that and the Return of Max Dugan which is another good but hard to find video.

Oops, forgot my quote.

Okay who said this?

Quote:

I think if God is dead he laughed himself to death. Because, you see, we live in Eden. Genesis has got it all wrong. We never left the Garden. Look about you. This is paradise. It's hard to find, I, I'll grant you, but it is here. Under our feet, beneath the surface, all around us is everything we want. The earth is shining under the soot. We are all fools.

Hint: This actor (that spoke the quote above) was also in Dr Strangelove (and another excellent actor).

Another Hint for this one:

Quote:

"And soon I shall have understanding of video cassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being."

This was Evil speaking and a Map was involved.....now do you know what show this quote is from?

Sanityisoverrated, give us a hint...like if it's a sci-fi or comedy or who else is in the movie. Anything will do. The line sounds familiar...

Hmm. The character drives a truck called the "Porkchop Express". Is that any help?

This ones from a book, not a movie

Quote:

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso fact, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

Hint: I wrote the same quote somewhere else on this forum

Dr. Hannibal Lecter (played by Anthony Hopkins) in Silence of the Lambs. Trivia: With a little over 16 minutes of screen time, Anthony Hopkins's performance was the shortest ever to win a leading acting Oscar.

Der Himmel über Berlin, I love that movie!
And Peter Falk said that. He was playing his own role.
