  1. Ken says:

    #4 – This is Spinal Tap

  2. deblipp says:

    I knew you’d get that.

  3. Roberta says:

    #6 is Crossing Delancey.
    And of course I knew #4.

  4. deblipp says:

    Yeah, of course you knew #4, but Ken is always online earlier. 🙂

  5. Tom Hilton says:

    #7 isn’t Being There, is it?

  6. deblipp says:

    #7 isn’t Being There. I am virtually certain that you haven’t seen #7, Tom.

  7. lunofajro says:

    Is #5 The spy who loved me?

  8. Brandi says:

    #1 – X2: X-Men United

  9. Christopher says:

    #1 is X-Men: United, Brandi, you beat me! ITs what i get for waiting until lunch time ti check!
    I wanted to say #5 was Aladdin, but then I realised that Jeffar saw him in her tiara…and you won’t really go for a cartoon anyway. Would you?

  10. Roberta says:

    Funny, I thought #7 might be Being There as well.

  11. Roberta says:

    (Ooh! Was ‘virtually’ a subtle hint?)

  12. George says:

    I want to guess Truman Show for #7, but I can’t imagine you think Tom hasn’t seen it….

  13. Ben says:

    “Goldfinger” for #5.

  14. deblipp says:

    Christopher, I am not opposed to cartoons, but Ben is correct. “Virtually” is not a hint, but the fact that Tom hasn’t seen it kind of is.

    I’m giving Brandi and Christopher co-credit on #1 because they are 8 minutes apart.

    #7 is not Truman Show.

  15. witless chum says:

    7= “About a Boy” Hugh Grant’s character whose name is…………, not Rob.

    Tom should probably watch it, it’s a well-crafted sort of movie.

  16. Tom Hilton says:

    I’ve seen it. It’s not bad.

    I figured it had to be a) something French, or b) something I had specifically said I hadn’t seen. Not sure why De thinks I didn’t see this one.

  17. George says:

    I keep thinking #3 has to be 1900, but I can’t even say why.

  18. deblipp says:

    Tom, it’s because it was made in the past ten years. You already posted you never see movies made after you were born. You’re older than ten.

    George, I haven’t seen 1900 in years and years, I couldn’t begin to come up with an interesting scene from it.

  19. Tom Hilton says:

    You already posted you never see movies made after you were born. You’re older than ten.

    But I didn’t say that. I said I haven’t seen as many recent movies.

  20. Tom Hilton says:

    Also, you accidentally deleted #4 when you added hints, so now it looks like #3 is This Is Spinal Tap. 😉

  21. Tom Hilton says:

    Is #1 Hearts of Darkness?

  22. deblipp says:

    Tom, I don’t know which you meant, but none of them are Heart of Darkness.

  23. Tom Hilton says:

    Oh, sorry, I meant #2–and not Heart of Darkness but Hearts of Darkness (Elizabeth Coppola’s documentary about filming Apocalypse Now).

  24. deblipp says:

    Oh, well that makes sense, because of the two film crews. Still wrong though.

    The separate film crews are in separate countries.
