A quiz on Iconic Movie Quotes 

You had me at Hello is a line you ought to know
Unless you are a tinman struck by a tornado
Some movie lines just grab you and transport you beyond
The silver screen to take a trip with someone like James Bond 

Blending artistry and style – like a piece of art
A movie that is made with soul is sure to touch your heart
So let’s make you an offer – one you can’t refuse
An Oscar if you guess the film with some cryptic clues 

May the forces be with you while we play this game
I hope to entertain you along the hall of fame
Life is a box of chocolates – you don’t know what you’ll get
We know we will have Paris – sunrise or sunset 

For old times’ sake - let’s ask Sam to play it once again
Beware of Mrs Robinson – all you handsome men
She might try to seduce you with a glass of wine
Hasta la vista Baby – just leave the guns behind 

Frankly dear - I told her – I do not give a damn
Unless you’re feeling lucky like a punk who’s trying to scam
Stupid is as stupid does my Mama used to say
We have a problem, Houston though I doubt it is foul play 

Of all the gin joints in the world she chose to go to Ricks
Lectern looked at Clarice saying he had a bag of tricks
Go ahead make my day with some fava beans
Washed with a Chianti, liver and some greens 

He feeds on pain - that’s his game cries the screaming lamb
There’s no crying in Baseball – so says Uncle Sam
The friend I had for dinner was my cup of tea
As God is my witness I’ll never be hungry 

I can’t let go of Tara – she’s worth much more than land
Chewbacca ordered Yoda to take the witness stand
Cause I’ll have what she’s having – pastrami on rye
Tomorrow is another day – you ought to ask me why 

If you reckon Greed is good I don’t agree with you
Let’s opt for some cannoli before our rendezvous
Revenge is a dish that ought to be served cold
Carpe diem – seize the day – is what I have been told 

A brief cased lawyer steals more than a man who holds a gun
Time erodes gratitude - said Vito to the nun
If you can’t handle the truth in a courtroom scene
Let’s look for nurse Ratched who loves the slot machine

You ought to keep your enemies much closer than your friends
Cause if you talking to me it’s time to make amends
For the city is a sewer that is full of filth and scum
When you take my breath away the mirror screams redrum 

If you think I’m funny and amuse you like a clown
I might scream “Here’s Johny” which might calm you down
Some places are like people – that’s what Jack would say
Jack would be a dull boy – if it’s all work and no play 

A Martini with Rosebud – shaken and not stirred
No matter what you’re drinking don’t kill the mocking bird
Round up the usual suspects - I feel the need for speed
The stuff that dreams are made of is reason to succeed 

Obi-wan Kenobi you are my only hope
When the dog bites and the bee stings I know that I can cope
For the hills come alive with songs that we have heard
An easy one for you to guess if you’re a movie nerd
