  1. Hasta la vista, baby. OK so this one is obvious, and is more of an example than anything else as it’s used in it’s Spanish form. For those that don’t already know, the translation is “Until the next sighting” and is from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
  2. ¡Enséñame la pasta! So we get a little more difficult this time, note that the original phrase is in English. Some clues? It stars Tom Cruise and was released in 1996…Answers at the bottom of the article.
  3. Francamente, querida, me importa un bledo. For this one we’ve jumped right back to 1939, before most of our times; but it’s a classic, and the quote is definitely one we all should have heard before.
  4. Houston, tenemos un problema. It shouldn’t be too difficult to guess this one, the film’s from 1995 and stars Tom Hanks; also, it’s set in space…
  5. ¡Dile hola a mi pequeño amigo! This is a classic starring Tony…Oops, I mean Al Pacino, from 1983 — All you gangster flick fans should get this.
  6. Tócala otra vez, Sam. Another one jumping back a few decades, to 1942, and staring Humphrey Bogart. Another hint? The films title is the name of the largest city of Morocco.
  7. Qué la fuerza te acompañe. This one belongs to a franchise of films, Sci-fi films to be exact, ones that were directed by George Lucas, that’s all I’m giving you.
  8. Le voy a hacer una una oferta que no podrá rechazar. Another movie for the gangster flick fans. This one rests on the shoulders of a brilliant performance by Marlon Brando but also features Al Pacino.
  9. Tengo el presentimiento de que ya no estamos. Back again to 1939, but not the same film. No, this one’s more musical, should I give it away? It features a tin man, a cowardly lion and a scarecrow…
  10. Mamá siempre desía que la vida era como una caja de chocolates. Nunca sabes que te va a tocar. That was a long one, but it’s the famed quote from a movie that has no shortage of them, just pay attention to the important words…Need more? It stars Tom Hanks, and he runs…
