Is it Angels in the Outfield (1994)?

I do not recognize the screenshots (and I'm not sure I've ever seen the movie) but I think that's Matthew McConaughey.

It looks like he's in a sports locker-room (and has black paint under his eyes) so I googled for Matthew McConaughey baseball movie and it links to Angels in the Outfield. So that's my guess!

There's this really obscure one I use called Imgur

Yeah, it's getting a little too Critics Loungey in here!

Let's reel it in just a bit!

[With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.]

Not Moby Dick!

Here's another quote that should give it away!

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

Poltergeist!

Fun fact: that's a real skeleton.

You got it!

I had read before they had used a real skeleton but I've always wondered if it was actually true. I heard the production found it was actually cheaper to use real skeletons than to have fake ones made/bought. Strange but given the mysticism around the production and after-math of this movie I wouldn't be surprised in the least

You're up!

The movie that warned us of the dangers of kids getting high on telepathic links with drunk aliens!

It's why I'm adamant about raising my kids to never link telepathically with drunk aliens!

Another [perhaps] easy one...

Nope x2!

Another hint:

By "on the right track" I meant that There Will Be Blood and my quoted movie share an actor in common!

E.T.!

No, no, no and no.

Mandle is on the right track though </hint>

Here's the next quote:

"A compass, I learned when I was surveying, it'll... it'll point you True North from where you're standing, but it's got no advice about the swamps and deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of knowing True North?"

Is it The Bourne Identity?!

It is!  Good job!

I am painting my office so I can't do a screen-grab so here's a less-than-stellar web search (so no cheating!).

[Danvzare]

No to all!

I went to check to make sure it wasn't in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and couldn't find it... if it was in that movie I am willing to give it to Danvzare though!

A hint;

The quote I posted is the type of quote (historical) that it is possible it might be in other movies.

[Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?]

Yeah I thought that was it! I remember that movie only vaguely but I looked it up (after guessing) and the pieces fell into place.

Here's the next:

"Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?"

Nope to all!

Bridge of Spies is a good guess (in my opinion) because the cinematographer (and long-time cohort of Spielberg) is Janusz Kaminski. When I first saw the movie (from my screenshot above) I checked the credits to see if Kaminski was the cinematographer. He wasn't.

I have narrowed my guess down to three selections:

Two Weeks Notice
Miss Congeniality
Maid in Manhattan

I'm leaning towards Maid in Manhattan...

I enjoyed The Salton Sea quite a bit.

Here's the next:

I was gonna guess While You Were Sleeping but that's 1995...

I think I know enough now to find it but I want to see if I can get it without using google/imdb!

[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]

Is it Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

or maybe The Salton Sea?

Spartan?

Those are the few Val Kilmer movies I can think of...
