Funny stuff as always!
TURKEY LURKEY MOVIE QUOTE CONTEST FOR FREE ART EXTRAVAGANZA!!!
Okay, here's the deal. Below you'll find 25 movie quotes. Your job is to guess what movie they're from and who said it. Some are easy, some are hard. You get 1 point for guessing the correct movie and one point for guessing the character who said it (I will also accept the actor's name in lieu of the character's name. There's a possible 50 points total. The 3 people with the top scores will get free drawings from your's truly! In case of a tie, winners will be drawn out of a hat by an unbiased third party (my wife).
Send your answers to me via a PM (wouldn't want people to cheat off you, would you?).
DEADLINE IS FRIDAY THE 27th AT MIDNIGHT (central time)!
Winners will be announced on Saturday in this thread. You can hold off sending screenshots until then.
1. Life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

3. What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.
4. I'm thirty-seven! I'm not old!
5. I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks! I do, I do, I do, I do believe in spooks!
6. Fools aren't born...pretty girls make them in their spare time.
7. Well, believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.
8. Would Monsiuer like to sniff the bottlecap?
9. Ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
10. Ten thousand terrorists in the world and I've gotta kill the one with feet smaller than my sisters!
11. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green...the sun's as hot as a baked potato.
12. You're just jealous because I'm a genuine freak and you have to wear a mask!
13. I guess you won't be attending that hat convention.
14. I must admit I didn't think much of Andy the first time I laid eyes on him; looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over. That was my first impression of the man.
15. Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!
16. We're American soldiers...we've been kicking [censored] for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!
17. It's just like working in a fish-market. Except you don't have to clean and gut fish all day.
18. No, I don't think I'll kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by some one who knows how.
19. I've frequently not been on boats.
20. Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb!
21. We're not bad people, Mac...just underachievers who have to make up for lost time.
22. At least they won't be using heroin flavored bananas to finance revolutions.
23. You are a sad, strange, little man.
24. Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman; especially one who's interested in you.
25. I know kung fu.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!
We also have one bonus quote. You guess the movie it's from, that's an extra 10 points. If you guess the actor/character, that's another 10! With the bonus, you could possiblely get 70 points! But I warn you, this one is a toughie!
BONUS: My cousin died in a snowstorm!
THE FINE PRINT: I know this is unfair to those who don't watch movies as much as others. Such is the nature of contests. I will have more contests at a future date they may be more favorable to your expertise. You don't necessarily need to get the movie title right to score points for character/actor. For those I've done art for already, you're welcome to play, but I'd prefer giving others a chance. You're always welcome to assist another or give your entry to someone else. Some of these quotes may be in multiple movies, however, I'm looking for particular movies, which may not be the movie you're thinking of. In such cases, my answer is the right one. Like I've said before, I'm a jerk like that.

So, has IMDB crashed yet? 
I immediately recognized 5 and 18, of course, and I can guess at a few of the others, but mostly I'm stumped. I must be watching the wrong kind of movies.
Shame on you, Sartori.
I instantly recognized 1, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, and 24, without using IMDB.
But I won't be entering the contest cause I'm hoping someone that hasn't gotten any artwork yet can win. 
I recognized a few, but am too tired to bother right now, and really don't have time the rest of the week.
Good luck, though.
Sad thing is, one of the ones I knew immediately was #11, and now it's STUCK IN MY HEAD!!
Darn you, TL.

Well, I was hoping this would be more of a movie trivia challenge rather than a test of everyone's search-fu, but what can you do? *sigh*
Arch, you're more than welcome to enter, if you're one of the winners you can always donate your sketch to the less fortunate forumers. =)

So far I can pick out:
3, 10, 12, 24, and 25. Quite a few others are ... familiar... but I can't place them.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
My husband made me watch that one. It's really really really bad movie, but funny, and egads...
I'm scarred for life!
You don't want to know the next one he wants me to watch by the same people. I shudder when I hear the name.

I know exactly the one you're talking about. 
It's not nearly as bad as you might think, but then again, it's certainly far from, say, a Disney classic.

But all that's beside the point.
STRIKING_SPEEDY with 25 points, is the winner! Everyone, bow down to him....NOW!
Speedy, you can collect your prize by either posting here with the info I ask for in the first post of this thread (except for the whole questions 3 thing), or you can send it to me via PM. Should have your piece done within the week.
Thanks,
TL
oh cool lol I'll get you Paragon Wonder's info asap
lol I'm realy the only one who entered???
Here's my info
I'm working on getting the proper look for Paragon Wonder but for now you can use this info for reference: Paragon Wonder (Bio). His costume looks like this image. He is a Superman tribute character but. His powers include super strength, near-invulnerability, flight, and super hearing. He has black hair, green eyes and tanned skin.
His specific look contains some slight alterations that are not available in CoH. The Mod Sheet contains all the differences from the in game model of Paragon Wonder.

Yes. Really. 
Thanks for the Paragon Wonder info, should have something for you by next weekend. I'm glad you went with him, as I was thinking about how to draw Speedster, but I couldn't come up with a pose I liked. PW might open some creative doors for me. =)
TL
Speedy, your prize, she is complete.
I'm thinking of doing another pic of PW sometime down the road as I want to pair up your Superman homage character with my Batman homage character...should make for a interesting piece. =)
Hope you like!

Also, check out what I got from Starchasm!
