Got most of those, and I'm not that big a movie boff!
Heh heh again

Oh, good! 
I thought most of those were sort of cultural baggage.
Heh heh again

PS: This quiz came about when I happened upon a funny 'Jaws' story.
It seems that 'You're going to need a bigger boat' was an inside joke.
It's what the camera operators kept telling the director about their equipment transport, which was overloaded.

Yeah, I nailed a few as well.
The one about no longer being in the Midwestern U.S. inspired me to make an abauminable pun.

One of my professors would have liked that one - she was a Frank Baum descendant.
I rather hoped you'd enjoy this quiz, Paul.

"You will definitely require a larger aquatic vehicle"
6/10 - not bad given that there were two quotes I didn't know. I did know 8 even though I've only seen 3 of the films
Heh heh again
Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Posted Jul 9, 2019
Good for you! It's funny how these lines get known even when we haven't seen the films.
Heh heh again
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted Jul 9, 2019
Quite possibly the great lines are not representative of the films themselves. 
So feel free to not see the films. 
Heh heh again
SashaQ - happysad Posted Jul 10, 2019
Yes, funny how the quotes have sometimes been 'improved' in the retelling from what is in the film, too, like how 'Play it Sam ... again' became 'Play it again Sam'

At a nearby shopping mall we have a store that sells used sports equipment. They call it "play it again."
