Answer: Dirty Dancing
"Dirty Dancing" was released in 1987, and starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The film's story is about a girl named "Baby" Houseman (Grey) who goes to a vacation resort with her family in the summer of 1963. There she falls in love with the resort's dance instructor (Swayze). It has been told that Swayze basically had to beg Miss Grey to appear in this film. Apparently when filming the movie "Red Dawn" together in 1984 Jennifer had come to hate Patrick. The quote used in the question was uttered by the character Penny Johnson, who was played by Cynthia Rhodes. She uses this line to motivate her female dance class participants towards the beginning of the film.

"Saving Private Ryan" was released in 1998, and was directed by Steven Spielberg. It starred Tom Hanks. The film grossed $481.8 million worldwide. It was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and won five Oscars. It is widely considered one of the greatest movies of all-time, as well as being the greatest Oscar snub, as it lost to "Shakespeare in Love" for Best Picture. Quote info: It is uttered by the aged Private Ryan (portrayed by Harrison Young) at the headstone of Captain Miller's (Tom Hanks' character) grave at the Normandy American Cemetery in Collville sur-Mer, France.

From Quiz: Words on Fire: Quotes That Identify the Movie
Answer: 12 Angry Men
This dialog comes from one of the greatest dramas ever made, "12 Angry Men", which was originally released in 1957, directed by Sidney Lumet and featured an all-star cast led by Henry Fonda. The film was later done as a made for Showtime Network film starring Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott, among others.
This quote comes from one of the jurors discussing and debating the possible verdict for the young man who has been charged with the felony that the jury must determine guilt or innocence for. "12 Angry Men" gives us a diverse cast of jurors, each bringing their own prejudices and history into the jury chamber. This quote comes from Juror number 8, played by Henry Fonda. Juror number 8 is, at the start of the film, the hold-out in the jury. The film shows him working to convince his fellow jurors that he is right.
It must be noted that while the drama is fascinating, it is not exactly true to what a real jury could or would go through. In fact there are multiple rules of behavior as a jurist that are broken in this drama. (Creative license was taken to offer more drama and tension in this film.) If you are looking for a realistic lesson in how a court works, you'd need to participate in a jury yourself and/or observe a few cases in a real life courtroom.
The other answers are courtroom or legal dramas and could potentially have had a similar quote, but were not the source of this specific quote. In the case of "Jury Duty", the likelihood is much lower as that is a comedy starring Pauly Shore. "And Justice for All" is a wonderful drama, as is "The Verdict". Both featured famous stars in the lead roles ("And Justice for All" starred Al Pacino, "The Verdict" starred Paul Newman).

"Fly Away Home" was a film about getting geese to migrate. It featured live geese, and hence as the question text notes, wouldn't apply here.
"Father Goose" was a movie that starred Cary Grant. It didn't feature the famous line quoted in the question.
"The Wild Geese" was also not the answer here.
'Talk to me Goose' was uttered by Tom Cruise's character (Maverick) in the 1980s film "Top Gun". Maverick was trying to shake off his doubts and fears in his return to air combat - in this case in a fight that could have meant the sinking of a disabled ship and worse potentially the downing of his wingman.

Answer: The Help
In this scene Mississippi housewife Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain) sits down to eat fried chicken with her maid Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) and is enthralled at how good Minny's chicken is. Celia is a lousy cook who has hired Minny without her husband's knowledge (Minny has to arrive after 9:00 and leave before 4:00). Minny is an outstanding cook (her friends call her the best in the entire state) and she poses the question of won't Celia's husband get suspicious of the sudden improvement in the meals he is served? Celia sees the potential problem, and proposes a possible "solution" in line one. An indignant Minny replies with line two. "The Help" is set during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. It tells the story of African-American maids in Jackson, Mississippi, the white families for whom they work and the indignities the maids have to put up with on an almost daily basis.
In the 2012 Academy Awards "The Help" was nominated for Best Picture, but that Oscar went to "The Artist". Octavia Spencer won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. Jessica Chastain (she played Celia Foote) was also nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role but that Oscar was won by her "The Help" co-star Octavia Spencer. Viola Davis (she played Aibileen Clark) was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role but that Oscar was won by Meryl Streep in "The Iron Lady". Something I did not realize until researching this movie is that actress playing Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard) is the daughter of actor/Oscar-winning director Ron Howard ("Happy Days", "A Beautiful Mind", "Apollo 13" and many other fine movies).

Answer: "Being There" - Peter Sellers
"Being There", starring Peter Sellers, is not just a very funny movie: it is also my favorite movie. A quiet, uneducated man who works as a gardener only knows of the world outside the home of his employer through watching television. When "the old man" passes away Chance is forced out and on his own. When he takes his first automobile ride the view through car windows reminds him of watching television.
Melvyn Douglas won an Oscar for his portrayal of wealthy Benjamin Rand, in whom Chance finds a friend. Shirley MacLaine plays Eve Rand, Benjamin's wife. Jack Warden plays the role of the President of the United States.
In 2015 the Writers Guild of America voted "Being There" the 66th funniest screenplay of all-time.
Peter Sellers is well known for his roles in "The Pink Panther", "Dr. Strangelove", and "The Mouse That Roared". His performance in "Being There" earned him a Golden Globe award. He passed away following a 1980 heart attack shortly after completing his final film "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu". Sellers frequently worked with director Blake Edwards and commonly portrayed multiple characters in his films. He was very funny on film but also known for his depression, somewhat unpredictable behavior, being difficult to work with, and he probably shortened his own life through a reluctance to accept traditional heart treatments.

From Quiz: NOT AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes
Answer: The Return of the Pink Panther
In this scene Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is explaining to Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) why he arrested the bank manager in a bank robbery but let the thieves and their lookout go free. The lookout in this case was a "blind" man and his monkey (which Clouseau calls a "minkey" in his wonderful pseudo-French/English accent). Chief Inspector Dreyfus says this quote when he hears Clouseau's report. That leads to the following great exchange: Dreyfus: "The beggar was the lookout man for the gang." Clouseau: "That is impossible. How can a blind man be a lookout?" Dreyfus: "How can an idiot be a police officer?" There were numerous "Pink Panther" movies but this one in my opinion was the funniest. In one memorable scene, Inspector Clouseau (undercover as a telephone repairman) misjudges a doorway, runs into the wall behind the door and emerges to say, "No trouble back there."
In the 1976 Golden Globes "The Return of the Pink Panther" received three nominations: Best Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy, Best Original Score - Motion Picture for Henry Mancini, and Best Motion Picture Actor - Musical/Comedy for Peter Sellers, but did not win in any category. The role of Jacques Clouseau has been so popular at least three other actors have tried to recreate it in movies: Alan Arkin in "Inspector Clouseau" (1968), Roger Moore (under the odd pseudonym Turk Thrust II) in "Curse of the Pink Panther" (1983), and Steve Martin in "The Pink Panther" (2006) and "The Pink Panther 2" (2009). Not bad, but Peter Seller's version was better (in my opinion).
Historical note:
Contrary to a commonly-held false impression, the movie "A Shot in the Dark" (which also featured Inspector Clouseau but did not have the words "Pink Panther" in the title) was not released prior to the movie "The Pink Panther" (i.e., the "Pink Panther" movies were not spinoffs). "A Shot in the Dark" was released in the U.S. in June 1964. "The Pink Panther" was released in December 1963 in West Germany and March 1964 in the U.S.
From Quiz: Quotes From Movies That Made Me Laugh
Answer: Argo
In this scene John Chambers (John Goodman) and Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) are sitting at a table piled high with movie scripts. They are trying to find one that will suit the objective of their team, which is to create a fake movie company as a cover that will allow them to rescue six American diplomats trapped at the Canadian embassy in revolutionary Iran. After discussing the movie "Horses of Achilles" as a possible candidate, Siegel says this quote. Team member Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) then suggests the science-fantasy adventure movie "Argo". When Chambers wonders if they can get the option for it and Mendez asks why they need that, Siegel has this great line: "You're worried about the Ayatollah? Try the WGA (Writers Guild of America)." These scenes were filmed at Zsa Zsa Gabor's Beverly Hills estate. This operation came to be called the Canadian Caper.
In the 2013 Academy Awards "Argo" won three Oscars, including Best Picture. Alan Arkin was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, but the Oscar was won by Christoph Waltz in "Django Unchained". The fake movie "Argo" is named for the mythological Greek ship that Jason sailed in to retrieve the Golden Fleece (this story was told in the 1963 movie "Jason and the Argonauts"). I loved the special effects by Ray Harryhausen in this movie, especially when the Hydra's teeth were sown on the ground and fighting skeletons arose.
Historical note:
The six diplomats were successfully rescued by this operation on 27 January 1980, but 52 of their co-workers at the American embassy in Iran were not as lucky. US President Jimmy Carter authorized a helicopter rescue of these hostages (Operation Eagle Claw), but that failed. The hostages were finally released after 444 days of captivity (during the early days of US President Ronald Reagan's administration). After the six Americans were rescued, the Canadian embassy was closed that same day (to prevent any reprisals).

Answer: My Cousin Vinny
In this scene new lawyer Vincent "Vinny" Gambini (Joe Pesci) from Brooklyn, NY is arguing his first murder case before Alabama judge (Fred Gwynne), and runs into some language difficulties. This conversation actually did take place between actor Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn, who felt it was funny enough to be added to the movie's script. Judge Haller says lines one and three and Vinny says lines two and four. Regional differences lead to some pretty funny situations in this movie: Vinny Gambini learns about grits and Judge Haller learns about yutes. In the events leading up to this scene, two young men from New York are driving across Alabama when they are stopped and jailed on suspicion of murder of a Sac-O-Suds convenience store clerk. The lawyer they choose to represent them is Vinny, a cousin of one of them, but he has very little judicial experience and none on murder cases.
In the 1993 Academy Awards Marisa Tomei won for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Vinny's girlfriend, Mona Lisa Vito. This was the first Oscar she won. The scene where Vinny accidentally knocks over the judge's chessboard actually happened during filming, and the director thought it was so funny, he left in the final cut.

Answer: Deep Blue Sea
Renny Harlin's super-killer-shark film from 1999 introduced several science-type characters in an extensive floating complex at sea, tampered with some super-smart shark brains, and ultimately caused chaos. When the smart sharks got loose, they started to sink the complex to free themselves and, as it seems, eat the cast.
In one memorable scene, Samuel L. Jackson's scientist character tried to take the lead with a motivating speech about the dangers of man and the dangers of nature before proposing that they work together to escape. Seconds later, a shark leapt from an open pit behind him, grabbing him in its jaws, and pulling him under.
He shouldn't have said anything-- he jinxed it.
"Deep Blue Sea" didn't sink in the box office; it took in over $165,000,000. Coincidentally, Harlin's filmography also includes "Cutthroat Island", known for being one of Hollywood's biggest flops of the 1990s. Jackson later went on to survive a horrible snake/plane incident in "Snakes on a Plane" in 2006. When asked which he preferred, Jackson claimed he liked the snakes more--the sharks beat him in the end.
