Slot Machines Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity Is No Amity
Mother-in-law Woman Hitler :)
Snooze Alarms Alas! No More Z's
Alec Guinness Genuine Class
Semolina Is No Meal
The Public Art Galleries Large Picture Halls, I Bet

This one's truly amazing:

To be or not to be: that is the question, whether its nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

And the Anagram:

And for the grand finale:

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
--Neil Armstrong

The Anagram:

Nope, one more!
