As a cheesy tie-in to an historic event, all of today’s movies will begin with “In.”
1. Followed by two sequels and a TV series, the second movie had the name of the lead character in in its title.

7. “You’re very good at the English, aren’t you? You see, I don’t understand your language. “Justice.” “Mercy.” “Clemency.” I literally don’t understand what those words mean. I’d like to put in an application to get all my teeth extracted. That way I could put my fist in my mouth and never speak another word of fuckin’ English so long as I live.”

#5 – In Like Flint, although I wasn’t aware of a third movie… I see there was a TV movie from 1976 that I never heard of.
Was it a TV movie? Sorry, I suck.
Number 6 is Independence Day
Number 3 is Interview with a Vampire
#3 is wrong, #6 is right.
#2 is Into The Wild
#1 is In the Heat of the Night
#3 sounds like Indiscreet to me.
#7 In the name of the Father
#4 is Girlfight with Michelle Rodriguez? It would be cheating to look up the director, though.
Nice guess, Wendy, but it doesn’t start with “In.”
Ack, not going with the theme. I should look at the answers first.
I think you’ve conflated two different Meg Ryan movies. Against The Ropes is a woman-centric boxing movie directed by a woman (Jane Campion), but In The Cut is the “in” title.
crap, you’re right. Sorry.
Repeating my question (which seems to have gotten caught in the spam net):
Have you mistakenly conflated two Meg Ryan movies? Against The Ropes is a woman-centric boxing movie directed by Jane Campion, while In The Cut is another Meg Ryan movie that came out at about the same time.
Oops, you rescued it. Sorry for the repeat.
Actually, Against the Ropes was directed by Charles Dutton, it’s In the Cut that Jane Campion directed.
George and Melville, what happened exactly was: (1) I sat thinking of names of “In” movies and came up with In the Cut, (2) I immediately thought it was the Meg Ryan boxing movie, (3) I looked it up on the IMDb, saw it was Meg Ryan, decided I was right, (4) saw Jane Campion and several other female leads and devised the clue.
