Martha's March Movie Madness - Contest!

My family and I have this habit of picking up lines from movies.  So today is Martha's March Movie Madness!  Your goal, *should you chose to accept it *, is to identify the ten (10) movies the quotes came from.  So we do not give away the answers PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER HERE but e-mail me your answers at mesreads@gmail.com. 

I will do a drawing from all entries that get ALL of them correct and I will do a second drawing from all OTHER entries.  So even if you miss a few you will still have a chance.
The winner with ALL correct answers will get to choose a book or $5.00 gift card from the Friday Pick books AND a credit of $5.00 for a book from eTreasures Publishing.  
The winner from the other entries will get to choose a book or $5.00 gift card from the Friday Pick books.

1.  "They never call, they never write."

2.  "We'll do that!"

3.  "100% pure old fashioned homegrown."

4.  "Don't worry. I've done this before...once."

5.  "We're sending someone in to negotiate."

6.  "I'd die for you."

7.  "She's in good hands."

8.  "The secret's in the sauce."

9.  " What am I supposed to do? Walk around with their little corpses stuck to my finger nails?"

10.  "And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!"  ***  I liked this so much I looked up the full poem:
 
"All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair- The bees are stirring - birds are on the wing - And Winter slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!"And I the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
Work Without Hope


*Bonus - what movie is *that phrase* (in the third line of this post) from?

Please comment here to let me know you sent an entry and for extra fun when you comment tell me one of YOUR favorite movie quotes and I'll try to guess the movie!
I will pick winners Thursday night at 10 pm central and announce them on Friday.

There is no way to keep people from searching quotes online. AND I know that if it were me I would be trying to search the answers!! I am thinking - hoping - one of these might really get you stumped! *BG*
I'll check answers and if everyone gets stumped by the same question I may add hints if it looks like its needed and I may extend the deadline.  That means I will allow updated answers so check back Wednesday and Thursday to see if I have added hints.

I have used a similar but shorter list for fun at the (SaSR) Sweet and Sensual Romance Tuesday R&R. They have to name the character and movie or show for five quotes.

  2. That was a lot of fun, Martha! I sent you my answers. My sons go around all the time quoting lines from movies they have seen.

    Here is one of my favorite quotes from an old movie: "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
