Columbus wrote the screenplay and Alex Cox (Son of Scottish acting legend Brian) stars as Dr. Watson.
I have added three more clues to the mix:
"I never want to be alone."
1.) A famed filmmaker was involved in the production of this film, though it is not mentioned too frequently when his/her cinematic contributions are discussed- Steven Spielberg was one of the film's executive produces, yet it is spoken very rarely of amongst his other filmmaking ventures.
2.) This film has an interesting connection to a certain boy wizard- Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay, who went on to direct the first two Harry Potter films.
3.) For those who are fans of the film's characters, the surprise revelation at the end is quite the doozy!- SPOILER WARNING
4.) The character that utters this line ultimately gets their wish, as it is widely known to those that are fans of them- A young Sherlock Holmes states this line, and though he is speaking of his beloved Elizabeth here, we know that he is forever destined to have the loyal Watson by his side as they begin to solve cases together in their adulthood. Because of their great friendship, he is therefore never alone.
5.) This film features in one of the starring roles an offspring of one of Scotland's finest actors- Alan Cox (son of Brian Cox) appears as a young John Watson.
6.) In this film, snow has begun to fall as we are presented with well known characters in a very fresh and interesting way- The film takes place in December and ends around Christmas, and Holmes and Watson are presented to us in their younger forms, quite a fresh take on the characters at this point in the 80s and still now in the new millennium.
Over to you, Willy. :)
I only got it cos I had to do some research ;-) It's been twenty years since I saw that film.
"Careful old boy. You might hit me"
^ This. You're so hot right now.
It is indeed the final words from Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) in Beverly Hills Cop before he's turned into swiss cheese by Eddie Murphy & Ronny Cox.
"Just the fax, ma'am. Just the fax."
@WillyGalore has it, and I definitely did not misspell it ;-) McClane utters it to the woman working the airport counter when she asks if he would like to get a drink after work, and he's waiting on the fax machine. Over to you again.
"You never loved her!"
Is that from 'Unfaithful'?
Over to you.
"Up to Them! Up to Them! Am I to fight alone? Stand With Me! Are you France? Are you the Guard? One more hour and we have them beaten, don't you know me?"
When I saw Chris Pine in your answer I thought at first you'd got it. Very close. And of course Tom Hardy was is Star Trek Nemesis! ;-)
I don't have a Scooby!
Edit.
Waterloo 1970.
Excellent, that's General Ney commanding the Old Guard in one of the final scenes of the film. Over to you.
He's all eaten away.
