Added a couple of things to the consolidation and noticed how many words that doubled as surnames were in the titles of list B. I think there may be one or two more parameters, but I'm pretty confident I'm on the right track.

Tangredi: Actor from List A starred in a movie with actors whose last names appear in the titles in List B

A-12 Howard Keel starred in Show Boat with B-12 Joe E BROWN and B-65 Marge and Gower CHAMPION
A-3 Brad Pitt starred in Money Ball with B-77 Jonah HILL, B-32 Stanley BISHOP, and B-11 Reed DIAMOND

A-11 Cary Elwes starred in The Princess Bride with B-41 Billy CRYSTAL and B-52 Fred SAVAGE

CONSOLIDATION

Identify the 33 actors in List A and the 80 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match each actor with from two to four movies according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Twenty-two actors will be matched with two movies, eleven actors will be matched with three movies, and three actors will be matched with four movies.

Nine movies will be used twice, each in two different ways. Three actors will be used twice.

We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war. Our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”

BRAD PITT

A-4. Between 1961 and 1965, he won three Tony awards – one for Best Actor in a Play and two for Best Actor in a Musical.

Yes, they're coming here now. You can hear the bombs falling on the streets and the homes. Don't tune me out, hang on a while - this is a big story, and you're part of it. It's too late to do anything here now except stand in the dark and let them come... as if the lights were all out everywhere, except in America. Keep those lights burning, cover them with steel, ring them with guns, build a canopy of battleships and bombing planes around them. Hello, America, hang on to your lights: they're the only lights left in the world!”

JOEL MCCREA

A-22. He received his two Oscar nominations for films based on novels by Larry McMurtry and John Irving.

JOHN LITHGOW

A-23. “I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do.”

MARGARET O’BRIEN

A-29. “I think ... no, I am positive. .. that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life.

I thought we were better than this, I really did.”

THE BIG SHORT

One actor with a question mark is wrong and one 'definite' movie is wrong.

BOTTLE ROCKET

B-27. “Robert, please. You don't understand, no one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops.

BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK

WHAT PRICE GLORY

ANNIE HALL? THE SIGN OF THE CROSS?

B-69. “Is that it? Is that all you're gonna ask me? Well I got a couple of thousand goddamn questions, you know. I want to speak to someone in charge. I want to lodge a complaint. You have no right to make people crazy! You think I investigate every Walter Cronkite story there is? Huh? If this is just nerve gas, how come I know everything in such detail? I've never been here before. How come I know so much? What the hell is going on around here? Who the hell are you people?”

It isn't, I'm afraid. And, since you will eventually be able to make this same match with one of the unidentified movies, I might as well tell you that this one was unintentional.

Ok - this was driving me nuts.

I kept thinking it was Night on Earth. Roberto Begnini + Jim Jarmusch. But there's no likely last name there.

Turns out it is DOWN BY LAW. Also Roberto Begnini and Jim Jarmusch.

B-18 is I'VE HEARD THE MERMAIDS SINGING
B-20 is A GUEST IN THE HOUSE
B-21 is THE DARK KNIGHT
B-22 is THE FOX AND THE HOUND (at least, I've confirmed that there was a long fight about whether to kill Buttram's character, and I can't confirm it for Robin Hood. Plus, I think Frank used the phrase "bone of contention" purposefully.)
B-23 is URBAN LEGEND
B-24 is THE BLUE GARDENIA
B-29 is HOPE AND GLORY

One of these is not what I intended, but it's 2/3 correct.
