3 is Man on Wire, no?
5 are the D’Abo sisters?
Huh, they’re not sisters. Sorry!
Oh dear. While Googling Rocky Horror to see if it was an answer, I found out that the actor who played Riff now voices Ferb’s Dad on Phineas and Ferb (a Disney Channel cartoon, for those without the Disney Channel on in your house 24-7).
Is #4 Marie Antoinette?
7 – The Truth About Cats and Dogs
4, Amadeus?
I’m pretty sure #2 is The Hunger. (Bowie, Deneuve, Sarandon.)
I really thought #5 was a giveaway.
#5 is The Searchers (Natalie and Lana Wood)
I really thought #5 was a giveaway.
I got it right away! It’s Lana and Natalie Wood in The Searchers.
Gah! Late by a minute! 🙁
#6 is One, Two, Three.
I thought #1 might have been The Matrix but apparently it was Twister
Hazel, I looked up a non-Twister movie that claims to be first. I will provide another clue.
Is #1 Grease?
No.
Waaaay too early for DVD release.
Hmmm. Evita?
Ding!
