    It isn't a Lord of the Rings film and yes, Columbus is the link.

    EDIT: Young Sherlock Holmes?

    Columbus wrote the screenplay and Alex Cox (Son of Scottish acting legend Brian) stars as Dr. Watson.

    @WillyGalore has it. I knew giving up Columbus would seal the deal. A break down of the clues for you all:
    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
    For those that have seen the film, after the credits we find that Rathe is not only still alive, but that his name is Moriarty.

    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. :)

    The Third Man? It sounds so Orson Welles-esque when I repeat it in my head.

    No it isn't The Third Man

    'Beverly Hills Cop'? I've seen the film so many times, I could swear General Orlov Victor says that line.

    ^ This. You're so hot right now.

    And quite right you are @Creasy47.

    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.

    @WillyGalore, couldn't have worded it better myself. Murphy and Cox give him about thirty or forty new holes to breathe out of.

    "Just the fax, ma'am. Just the fax."

    LA Confidential

    The Departed?

    It's neither 'LA Confidential' nor 'The Departed.'

    How about Jackie Brown? Why does this sound like a cop film quote to me?

    I thought you might have misspelled 'facts' as 'fax' but I'm now thinking it's Die Hard 2 when McClane calls Powell at the airport

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, you were close, it's definitely a cop film.

    @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.

    It rang true the moment I posted LA Confidential, which does actually feature the line "just the facts ma'am, just the facts"

    "You never loved her!"

    @WillyGalore, I always wondered where that quote came from, and I knew 'Die Hard 2' had a spin on it, just not the quote I hear and see everywhere.

    Is that from 'Unfaithful'?

    It is not.

    Oh, what the hell is that movie with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy...is it 'This Is War'?
  • WillyGaloreWillyGalore

    It's not that either

    Is it Star Trek (2009)?

    Congrats @Sammm04. It is Kirk to Spock in Star Trek.

    Over to you.

    Well I suppose I was somewhat close with Pine, haha.

    Thank you, it's very lucky I watched that film recently, anyway, here's my quote:

    "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! ;-)

    Excellent, that's General Ney commanding the Old Guard in one of the final scenes of the film. Over to you.
