Name Game #21

"I must become a man that children fear and adults respect, or we shall all end up in the street."

Update: Another clue:
"It would be delightful to report that they reached the nursery in time... but then, there would be no story."

Update: I'm back...here's another clue:
"Captain, the ice is melting, the sun is out, and the flowers are all in bloom..."
"He's back."

Update: Since you technically said the name in your answer, Kat, I'm going to go ahead and give it to you. It is Peter Pan, the 2003 version widely regarded as the most faithful to the book. That is why the quotes kind of sound familiar, but then again they don't, because they don't appear in any other movie version.

Name Game #20

"They don't want the classic horror films anymore. Today it's all giant bugs. Giant spiders, giant grasshoppers... Who will believe such nonsense?"

Update: Another clue:
"Well, I'm going to need some antennae."
"No! You're the ruler of the galaxy! Show a little taste!"

Update: Hopefully this one will give it away...
"I like to dress in women's clothing."
"You're a fruit?"
"No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them."

Update: It is indeed Ed Wood. Great performances by Johnny Depp and Martin Landau (nominated for best supporting actor). At times hard to watch (language is kind of rough), but it was also hard to look away.
