  1. Melville says:

    #3 is Sam Jaffe in The Asphalt Jungle.

    5 and 6 seem very familiar, but I can’t place them.

  2. Melville says:

    #4 is The Score (Robert DeNiro and Marlon Brando both played Vito Corleone).

  3. Tom Hilton says:

    And I think #6 is Ocean’s Eleven.

  4. Tom Hilton says:

    Five comments, zero incorrect guesses…that’s pretty good.

  5. deblipp says:

    Yeah, and this isn’t one of my ridiculously easy ones either. The two quotes remaining are actually the two I expected to be difficult.

  6. Evn says:

    Is #7 also Ocean’s Eleven? The original one?

  7. Melville says:

    Now everyone’s scared to guess the last one. If they’re wrong it’ll ruin a perfect score.

    A net-friend of mine used to use the phrase “cute as a pail full of kittens,” but I didn’t realize she was quoting a movie.

  8. Daven says:

    #1 is Heist with Gene Hackman

  9. deblipp says:

    Excellent!

  10. deblipp says:

    (By the way, the line in #1 is spoken by Ricky Jay, so there’s actually two Bond connections, but I thought that was a little obscure.)
