He is referring to the fact that he will become one with The Force - a technique only a handful of jedi have learned.
As a 'spirit' he will continue to guide Luke, and thus become somewhat omniscient - subsequently becoming more powerful.
You might say as an older man, he had become physically weak, but once bonded with the Force he becomes greater than ...

It means exactly the opposite of your take on it. I think Arnold said "No Sport" to indicate that if she was unarmed, she would be too easy to kill; not sporting. If she was armed by picking up the gun, the Predator would consider her to be true sport, in a fairer fight.
Here's a sound clip of a quote from Blade Runner that conveys the same message more ...

Irina Spalko was a KGB operative communist working for the Soviet Union. She was attempting to obtain the Crystal Skull in order to give the USSR an advantage over the Americans.

I just did a bit of digging on your behalf regarding this line, and there seems to be no concrete definition of it from any official source.
That said, I found several interpretations along the way, including:
1) "You cannot wash away your sins.";
2) The blood is worn as a badge of merit on the blade;
3) The blood remains on the blade and not on your ...

As far as I can tell, it comes from The Untouchables film.
Films
According to searches at Subzin, The Untouchables was the first with this line, but has been emulated in at least 20 other films since 2000.

Well, I don't remember the scene exactly, but I'm pretty sure, that this was meant rather sarcastic.
Latin is really not an easy language and has a rather complex grammar. Besides that it's not really spoken in everyday life anymore and only read from ancient texts or used in quite specialized contexts (law and medical terms, recitated prayers), but not ...

Obi Wan learned a specific force technique from Qui-gon Jin that allows him, after death to retain communication with the living via the force. This partially explains Kenobi's comment.
What Obi Wan is most likely referring to is the fact that if Vader kills him it will drive Luke to learn the force and take on the Empire. Obi Wan believes that since ...

I would say the focus of the ending of the movie should not be on Is it a mistake of the society or is it wrong to live a solitary life,rather on the fact what he actually said when dying i.e. "Happiness is only real, when shared". By this quote he meant, if you want to find happiness in life, you can't enjoy it alone. Share it with your friends and family ...

(Caveat: no disrespect intended to the man or his family. All information below is personal opinion, and mostly about the artistic decisions of the movie makers.)
You wrote:
Q: “In the end when he is dying his last words are ‘Happiness is only real when shared.’"
Not quite. He wrote that into some book (with “Moscow” and various Russian names in the ...

Well, I believe that this is attributed to many of the great civilizations decaying from within that contributed to the eventual fall of said civilization. There is a lot of evidence that the Maya empire was near the brink of collapse before the Spanish came (due to famine, overpopulation in specific cities, fighting among social classes, etc.). You can ...

The problem here is that the major is aiming at Chingachgook. The major may think he's one of the attackers running away. It's clear that he's aiming at Chingachgook because even after Chingachgook kills the only other Indian within the line of site of the Major, the Major keeps taking aim.
Obviously HawkEye doesn't want Chingachgook shot, So since the ...

The quote both relates how, by the end of the film, Jake LaMotta has found his own peace; and as a tribute to Martin Scorsese's film teacher, Haig P. Manoogian.
Filmsite's review of Raging Bull says:
The final title commemorates Jake's "once I was blind and now I can
see" salvation and new understanding:
Final Title:
So, for the second ...

TangoOversway -- You're right ! It is Sad Sack and here is the clip. The line is "Please, can I kill him now ?"
I had rejected that because the image of Peter Lorre I had was a much younger, leaner version -- so I ruled out all movies after about '55.
Perhaps this is not the only movie he said this line in... :)

In Armageddon the character Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan) says:

This line (which breaks the fourth wall as Al Pacino utters it directly at us) is said immediately after Kevin (Keanu Reeves) has been easily coerced by a reporter and his own wife, Mary-Ann (Charlize Theron), into giving an interview which, it is promised, will make him a 'star'.
We are essentially right back where we started in the film. After getting ...

Maybe it's a TV clip instead? Here's one from Everybody Loves Raymond, where he says "Too much talking, not enough shooting" in a faux Mexican accent while commenting on a 'girlie' film (it's around 0:35):

He was talking about the entire source code project (getting in someone else's body) and trying to explain to her what was really going on to make her understand/help him. As he realizes his actions might seem strange, he tries to convince her to go with it.
She dismisses it as it doesn't seem important (only dreams) and flirts with him

There is one famous Homer Simpson quote that sounds like the one you are looking for:
It's true, I'm a rageoholic! I just can't get enough RAGEOHOL!
This is from S13E18 - I Am Furious Yellow

You need to understand clearly one crucial point.
Only a Jedi who adheres to the 'good' side becomes part of The Force in the event of his death.
A Jedi adherent of the dark side who perishes is truly dead; he cannot survive as a part of The Force. Hence Vader, having adopted the dark side, had no knowledge that a Jedi was capable of surviving beyond ...

Analysing some subtitles I found out that the quotation can be:
Ich kann nicht anders
Maybe the pronunciation wasn't that great. The quotation is attributed to Martin Luther:
Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders. Gott helfe mir. Amen!: "Here I stand, I cannot do differently. God help me. Amen!"

The Dictionary of American Slang defines this, and supplies just this line from Val Kilmer in Tombstone as an example of its usage."I'm your huckleberry" means "I'm just the man you're looking for!""I'm your huckleberry..."

The movie is based on the real life story of Christopher McCandless with the little exception of death by toxic substance because their is no toxic found in
McCandless's body.
On the other hand , The moral of the story is itself in the sentence "Happiness is only real when shared". Its not against living solitary life or life in a nature is bad. But to say ...

Was it a mistake to abandon society? ...and live a solitary life?
No, I do not think so. Every individual needs at least one moment or period in life to become aware. To explore who you are and what you want. People find this in adolescence, many find it later, some find it never. The search is bound by a journey into whatever. Into partying, into ...

Using the script search site Subzin, I found no instances of the phrase in use prior to 1959. A naive search produced several candidates; I've listed them below. All of these turned out to be either foreign films with English subtitles added later, or English language films incorrectly titled or incorrectly dated or both.
