What are some other movies you would consider classics?

I miss the movie quotes Bettye Griffin used to post on her blog. It was fun trying to remember who said what and from what movie.

I thought I would try it here on my site for today…just for fun.

See if you can name the movie and/or actor for the movie quotes listed below (Hint: The movies chosen have a primary AA cast.):

1. This is my wedding day and I’m supposed to be happy.

2. At the end of the day it’s not about skin color or race. It’s about
the love connection: the vibe between a man and a woman.

3. Oh, my neck, my back, my neck and my back. Oh, I want
$150,000, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks.

4. Now, you listen to me. I MADE you. You were nothing before
you met me, and you’ll be nothing without me.

5. You know, maybe if I had the luxury of getting my
a** whooped, I could be calm right now. But I have been drinking
tequila shots, my hormones are raging out of control, I’m emotional,
I’m horny, and I don’t wanna hear about no g**da** peas!

6. You’re the one that’s guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians,
the Columbian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs
legal. Just like you did with alcohol during the prohibition. You’re the
one who’s guilty. I mean, c’mon, let’s kick the ballistics here: Ain’t no
Uzi’s made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field.

7. I give you 11 f****** years of my life and you’re telling me
you’re leaving me for a white woman?

8. Who you goin to the dance with anyway? Spalding?

9. Love should have brought your a** home last night.

10. Who am I? Well, they call me Brother to the night.
