Today's question (an idea triggered by Lance's question earlier this week): name the films in which these ten quotes are heard. Each film received a Best Picture nomination (and a few won the award). The parenthetical number represents where the quote appears on the AFI's list of "100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes."
1) The stuff that dreams are made of. (#14)
2) Why don't you come up sometime and see me. (#26)
3) I’m walking here! I’m walking here! (#27)
4) I want to be alone. (#30)
5) La–dee–da. La–dee–da. (#55)
6) Hello, gorgeous. (#81)
7) Sawyer, you’re going out a youngster, but you’ve got to come back a star! (#87)
8) Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death! (#93)
9) Snap out of it! (#96)
10) My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you. (#97)
Pictured: Casablanca, the Best Picture winner from 1942, and the movie most represented on the AFI's list of top 100 movie quotes -- with six. How many can you recall?
2. That's Mae West's signature line, right? Perhaps from "She Done Him Wrong"?
9. Cher in "Moonstruck".
From "Casablanca":
--"Play it, Sam."
--"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
--"Round up the usual suspects."
--"Here's looking at you, kid."
--"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine."
--"The problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world."
--"If you don't get on that plane, you'll regret it. Not now, not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."
I realize that's more than six, but the whole movie's basically a classic quote.

Oh, that's a good hint--is #8 "Mame"?

You've correctly identified one of the two words in the movie title. (I suppose the folks at JEOPARDY! would strike your answer as wrong.)
