For 8 1/3 points apiece, Name the movie in which the quotation was featured!

2. Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!

4. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
5. I am big! It's the pictures that got small.

Which makes Chef Phineas the winner of WQIII:1, with a four-way tangle for second among sister jen, Karmasartre, Elaine, and Season 2 Defending Champion Unwise Owl.
Oh, half credit for "Blazing Saddles" on #2.
Owl: Regarding Casablanca, Indeed. When I made my first cut of possible quotations, four of them were from Casablanca.
Emily: Kudos, although no points, for the Cheech and Chong hail mary.
Morgan: OK, you may not have seen too many great movies, but you apparently also haven't seen Caddyshack, Dirty Harry, and Jerry Maguire, so it all comes out in the wash.
I was recalling the 'badges' thing from 'Blazing Saddles.' I personally thought 'Sierra Madre' was boooooring and duuummb! and never recalled that it had a deathless quote in it...
You didn't like 'Jerry Maguire?'
I know I saw 'Jerry Maguire,' and I remember virtually nothing about 'Jerry Maguire.' I don't remember being especially annoyed by it or anything.
