- "Do you feel lucky, punk?" (Dirty Harry, 1971) - True
- "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." (Coolhand Luke, 1967) Almost. The "a" is extraneous.
- "Come with me if you want to live!" (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1990) Don't know this one.
- "Play it again, Sam." (Casablanca, 1942) No, it's "Play it for me, Sam."
- "May the Force be with you." (Star Wars, 1977) True
- "Say hello to my little friend!" (Scarface, 1983) True
- "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?" (The Graduate, 1967) No, I think it's "You're trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson. Aren't you?"
- "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" (Snow White, 1937) True
- "Houston, we've had a problem." (Apollo 13, 1995) No, it's "got a problem."
- "I love the smell of napalm in the morning..." (Apocalypse Now, 1979) True
- "Mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates..." (Forrest Gump, 1994) True
- "If you build it, they will come." (Field of Dreams, 1987) Nope: "he will come"
- "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." (Gone with the Wind, 1939) True
- "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" (Wizard of Oz, 1939) True
- "I want to suck your blood!" (Dracula, 1931) I doubt he really said this but must confess I don't know.
- "You had me at hello." (Jerry Maguire, 1996) True

And the Quote Contest Winner is...
pippin06! This was a tough one! After doing some fact double and triple checking, pippin06 eeks it out with only one incorrect, with psource close on the heels with two.
Congrats to both of you--I would have gotten about half of these wrong.
