  1. Roberta says:

    #1 = Ice Storm.
    Whooh freaking hooh!

    #3 = You’ve Got Mail.

    #7 = Annie Hall.

  2. Evn says:

    3 = License To Kill.

    4 = You’ve Got Mail.

  3. Roberta says:

    I meant 4!!!

    ( I am so freaking dyslexic.)

  4. Roberta says:

    And PS the nun thing is killing me.

  5. deblipp says:

    Roberta, I am sure you can get the nun thing.

    Evn & Roberta, #4 is not You’ve Got Mail. So weird that both of you got the same wrong answer. I know there are two bookstores in You’ve Got Mail, but the owner of one doesn’t flirt with the hero, he is the hero.

  6. Barbs says:

    # 4 is “You Have Mail”

  7. Barbs says:

    never mind, dang

  8. Roberta says:

    Is #5 Working Girl?

  9. deblipp says:

    #5 is not Working Girl, and I have dang neverminded.

  10. George says:

    #4 is The Big Sleep. That moment when Dorothy Malone takes off her glasses epitomizes bookish sexiness.

  11. deblipp says:

    YAY George for digging the bookish sexy.

  12. George says:

    But I’m right, too, on the movie…

  13. deblipp says:

    100% right and credited as such.

  14. Melville says:

    #6 is Cabaret

  15. deblipp says:

    Roberta totally knew that.

  16. maurinsky says:

    #2 is The Whole Nine Yards

  17. George says:

    Is #5 Charade–haven’t seen it in awhile, but seems to fit your description. And has one o fthe best lines in film, when Audrey Hepburn says to Cary Grant, “You know what’s wrong with you…nothing.”

  18. deblipp says:

    That’s right, George, and that’s my favorite line as well.
