    #4 – Once Upon a Time in Mexico

  2. Melville says:

    #7 is John Wayne in The Searchers

  3. Ben says:

    #6 has to be Psycho, doesn’t it?

  4. George says:

    Darn, Ben beat me to it.

  5. Deborah Lipp says:

    This is going slowly. I never know what’s going to be hard for you all and what’s going to be easy.

  6. Melville says:

    Is #1 The Thin Man ?

  7. Melville says:

    A wilder guess on #3, since I was watching it on TCM last night, so maybe you were, too, and there is a scene where George C. Scott sneaks into Joanne Woodward’s apartment: They Might Be Giants ?

  8. Deborah Lipp says:

    There is a VERY famous sneak-into-apartment scene that you’re missing.

  9. Evn says:

    Is #2 The Queen? Or does she have Pembroke Corgis?

    Also, is “corgis” the correct way to pluralize “corgi”? It doesn’t look right…

  10. Deborah Lipp says:

    I believe that Her Majesty has Pembroke Corgis, which may or may not be the correct plural, but I will point out that the clue refers to a dog being trained.

  11. George says:

    Is #3 Blue Velvet?

  12. Hazel says:

    #2 is The Accidental Tourist

  13. Barbs says:

    # 1, the big heat

  14. Christina says:

    Is #5 Dangerous Minds?

  15. George says:

    Since I assume #5 isn’t High School High I’ll take a wild guess and say Basquiat.

  16. Deborah Lipp says:

    I am going to get to stump you guys! That never happened. Here’s another hint: I reviewed this movie.

  17. Becky says:

    Is #5 “Whole Wide World”?
