Friday Funday Trivia: Famous Movie Quotes

 

For this week's FFT, I've included 3 montages containing 15 photos of movie characters.  You have to correctly identify the classic quote they uttered.  Every quote is from the "100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes" list compiled by the AFI (American Film Institute) in 2005. To help you out a bit, after each number I've put dashes to signify the number of words in each quote. I've also put in punctuation whenever possible (sorry, no apostrophes).  However, I will still give you guys some leeway. As long as you can convey the meaning of the quote, I won't penalize you if you don't get it word for word. Also, two of the movie characters featured here (#s 4 and 7) made the AFI list twice. This means if you can correctly identify both quotes by the character, you get double the points for that number. 

To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (44 pts total).  Along with the values for each photo, there are 4 bonus questions as well totaling 11 pts.

Also, if you can correctly identify the movie character below who uttered the quote which was voted #1 on AFI's list, you earn 5 bonus pts. Note: You only get one guess.
