Movie Trivia Answers

Sorry this is late...the winner was my friend John from SoCal, who not only one, but got a perfect score of 25, answering every question correctly and guessing the connection.  Hats off to John!

Here are the quotes with the answers...the connection is that all of the quotes come from Steven Spielberg films...

1. "We're going to need a bigger boat" – Roy Scheider Jaws

2. "The list is life." Ben Kingsley Schindler’s List

3. "Give us free..." Djimon Honsou Amistad

4. "I'm keeping him..." Henry Thomas E.T.

5. "Bad form!!!' Dustin Hoffman Hook

6. "It's not the age, it's the mileage." Harrison Ford Raiders of the Lost Ark

7. "He better be worth it. He better go home and cure a disease, or invent a longer lasting light bulb."
Tom Hanks Saving Private Ryan

8. "You know why the Yankees always win? 'Cause the other teams can't stop looking at those damn pinstripes!" Christopher Walken Catch Me if You Can

9. "Your scientists we're so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park

10. "This means something. This is important." Richard Dreyfuss Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Return of the Movie Quote Contest

I haven't done one of these in awhile...so here goes.  I have ten quotes below.  They all have a common connection.  The title of each movie is worth 1 point, and the actor (s) or actress who spoke the line is worth one point (in this case, quotes 1 and 10 are spoken by bit actors, so those are only worth one point, since I don't know that names of the actors who spoke the lines, while number 7 is spoken by two different actors, so that question can be worth 3 points total).  If you guess the connection between all of the quotes, I will make that worth 5 points.  Here are the rules:

-You have to get your answers to me via email (losbascoms@me.com) or private Facebook message.  If you put your answers in the comment section, others can see them and I will delete them.  I will take answers until Friday, May 10 at 9PM Minneapolis time.
-NO GOOGLING OT LOOKING UP ANSWERS...this is meant to test your brain without help :)
-The winner will get a $10 Trader Joe's gift card.

GOOD LUCK

1.  "Say it ain't so Joe"

2.  "Do you have a kiss for Daddy?"

3.  "I didn't kill my wife!"

4.  "Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable, or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

5.  "I'll have a drink."

6.  "Could you describe the ruckus?"

7.  "We're on a mission from God."

8.  "I like the mass better in Latin.  It's nicer when you don't know what they're saying."

9.  "4 Jacks...you owe me 15 grand pal"

10.  "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!"
