Yup. Being here first is sometimes no damn help.
Is #3 The Prestige?
#5 is High Plains Drifter.
#6 is The Shawshank Redemption.
#3 sounds incredibly familiar. Did you mention it here recently?
Sorry Tom, no. But Mel has 2 right. I believe I have never mentioned #3 here.
#1 – Hellboy
Number 7 is “Hunt for Red Oktober”
My wife knows #2. Mary says “Sleeping with the Enemy”
The theme I’m going to take a stab at. Produced/Directed by the person starring.
OH!!! Number 1 is “Hellboy”. I KNEW I knew it someplace.
The theme isn’t “based on a book”, is it?
The theme is “George doesn’t know any of the answers.”
Hellboy and Red October are right, Sleeping with the Enemy is not, and no one has guessed the theme. (Except George.)
George, I’m pretty sure you know #2. It’s the kind of movie you know. For that matter, it’s the kind of movie Mel knows. For that matter, I am sure Tom has seen it.
The theme is red, either in the title or featured prominently somehow in the film via character name or the color itself.
#3 The Red Shoes
#4 The Thin Red Line
Still can’t figure out #2.
Trevor, that’s 100% right. I’m sure now, with the theme revealed, someone will be able to guess #2.
Very clever use of the theme.
But I still can’t get #2. 🙁 It’s not Red, Reds, or Red Beard.
Or Red Dawn.
I haven’t seen it, but is it Raise the Red Lantern?
Not Reds, Red, Red Beard, Red Dawn, or Raise the Red Lantern.
The word “red” is not in the title.
I just looked up the plot synopsis to make sure my clue is accurate, as it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I’ve definitely got it right.
#2 is Marnie.
Yay!
The red association is two-fold: Marnie was afraid of it, and it’s the color my mother turns whenever she watches a Sean Connery movie.
All women turn that color when watching Connery. It’s like a thing.
