Ok, I looked it up. You've given some good clues, but this is certainly one of his less-viewed films. I reckon it's just that no one here has ever seen it.

So do you want to put everyone out of there misery, or should I just keep going with the clues?

Okay a recap for those who can't be bothered to read previous posts:
It's a Spanish Language film from 1997.
Written & directed by Pedro Almodovar.
Starring (albeit in a minor role) Penelope Cruz
Set in Madrid and featuring a wheelchair bound character & a guy called "Victor".
The quotes so far are:

2nd
You Shall be cursed in the city, and in the field. Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and of your ground. You Shall be cursed coming in and going out. Deuteronomy. Chapter 28. Moses was thinking of me when he wrote it
3rd
Before I met you, I could look up at the sun, the stars, the moon. Now I have to look down so I don't get dog shit on my chair, or crack my skull on the kerb. And you condemned me to it

No, but closest guess yet.
Ok, as has been pointed out, this film might be a tad obscure for most of you theatre goers - so here's a cryptic clue instead, which with a bit of lateral thinking should give you the English/U.S. title without having needed to see or know the film itself.
Taking elements of lithium have shortened muscle tissue
Oops forgot to add it's 9 letters (4,5) -
Dammit !, there goes my dream Job of crossword compiler for

No one's seen it. Choose a new, easier movie, and start all over again.

That's the point of the cryptic clue - you don't need to have seen the movie to work it out - you just need a brain - & I'm assuming at least a few people around here have one of those!
But if the consensus is to start over with a new quote, I will happily do so.

I know but you gotta give the public what they want - even if they are too stupid to know what it is!

I still didn't know the other one you gave.
Don't call me stupid =(, just cause I haven't seen way too many movies.
