3 could be Anne of a Thousand Days. 4 sounds kind of like Beneath the Planet of the Apes. 7 could be The Englishman Who Went up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain.
And I think 5 is Black Narcissus.
# 5 is Black Narcissus
Is # 4 Minority Report?
Arghh, one minute late!!
#1 is Diamonds Are Forever
No it’s not.
6 sounds like “Rent”
2 Sounds like “Andromeda”, but that’s a TV show, not a movie.
Goldfinger then?
Just a guess, as I’ve only read about it, but is #2 Silent Running?
Scratch that, is #1 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?
None of the answers are Rent, Andromeda, or Silent Running.
Is #6 Party Monster?
No it’s not. Or at least, I didn’t intend it to be, but since I haven’t seen Party Monster, idunno.
#2 is Serenity
Good one, maurinsky. Tom is kicking himself.
I never noticed that about the walls of the Serenity’s mess.
I would be kicking myself, if I hadn’t guessed four out of seven already. 😉
All right, Tom, we’re impressed. 😉
I never noticed the walls of the Serenity’s mess, either, but I was thinking of guessing that was the answer. Then I said to myself “Self, surely Tom would know if that was the correct answer, seeing as it’s the only movie he’s seen in the last three years and he has the Firefly series playing on a continuous loop in his home. If he didn’t identify it, surely it be right.”
🙂 🙂 🙂
Don’t knpw what happened on that last message. The last phrase should be “surely it can’t be right.”
All right, Tom, we’re impressed.
Unless he nails #6, all I promise to do is clap politely and give my best Episcopalian smile.
It just takes a lot to impress me, that’s all I’m sayin’…

I thought #6 was “200 Cigarettes” but the hint doesn’t fit.
