    #5 is “It’s a Wonderful Life”

    I think the last one is “Tootsie”, but I don’t remember it specifically.

  2. deblipp says:

    Daven, 5 yes, 7 no.

  3. Danny Hostetter says:

    Number 3 is “Zardoz”

  4. Tom Hilton says:

    Number 3 is “Zardoz”

    d’Oh! I thought it was from a Michael Medved movie review. 😉

  5. Amy says:

    #2 is “Three Days of the Condor.” Great movie.

  6. SAP says:

    #4

    They say that life is tit for tat
    And that’s the way I live
    So, I deserve a lot of tat
    For what I’ve got to give
    Don’t you know that this hand
    Washes that one too
    When you’re good to Mama
    Mama’s good to you!

    From the one and only Chicago. Queen Latifah was the bomb.

  7. Daven says:

    Oh, wait, #6 is “My Fair Lady” or some variant thereof.

  8. deblipp says:

    #6 is most definitely NOT My Fair Lady or any variant thereof. You’re in the wrong country.

  9. Amy says:

    Oh oh oh, it just came to me… #1 is “Garden State.” I think. I had thought that the original title was supposed to be “Large’s Ark,” but since the guy’s first name is Andrew, I suppose I could be wrong and now guessing correctly.

  10. deblipp says:

    Amy, the guy’s name was Andrew Largeman and at various times in the movie they called him both Andrew and Large. I believe he tried out both titles before giving up and calling it Garden State.

  11. George says:

    Is #7 Stealing Beauty?

  12. deblipp says:

    George, no, but I bet you’re thinking of the right movie even though Stealing Beauty isn’t it…

  13. […] Hints have been added to the two remaining Tuesday Trivia questions. Roberta can get #7. Filed under: Site News — deblipp @ 12:50 pm […]

  14. Roberta says:

    Roberta has been out of commision. I knew 4, 5, & 6, but am stumped on 6 and (sorry) 7. I don’t think I saw 7. Or perhaps I will eat my comment.

  15. deblipp says:

    I knew 4, 5, & 6, but am stumped on 6

    How many 6s do I have?

  16. Roberta says:

    Sorry. Drunk at work again.
    I know 2, 4 and 5.
    Still don’t know any of the 6s or 7s.

  17. Tom Hilton says:

    Is #7 Dangerous Beauty?

  18. Daven says:

    #7: “Victor/Victoria”?

  19. deblipp says:

  21. Ken says:

    I am so lame this week. I don’t know shit. Too much eggnog.
