Comments

Oooer!

[wemyss.livejournal.com]

No 10 is a Carry On film - Up the Khyber, perhaps? And I believe 15 is Fantasia?

Re: Oooer!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes to both.

Chris knows more movies than me, and he says:

[wryelle.livejournal.com]

1. Truman Show
2. Star Wars
6. I think is Saving Private Ryan but Chris says I'm Wrong.
10. Carry on up the Khyber
15. Fantasia

Re: Chris knows more movies than me, and he says:

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

2, 10 and 15 are right.

[sally_maria]

13 is Dambusters but that's the only one I can think of.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Correct.

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

1) Truman Show
2) Star Wars
6) Bridge over the River Kwai? possibly?
13) Dambusters

That's it... that's very sad. I thought I'd get more

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

2 and 13 are right.

[tree_and_leaf]

10 is a Carry On film, but I haven't a clue which. 2 is Star Wars: A New Hope.

And 7 sounds like 'Scoop', but I didn't know there had been a film of that!

No, wait. Cuba?

[wemyss.livejournal.com]

That was Hearst's war. So. Cd it be Citizen Kane?

Re: No, wait. Cuba?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Correct.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

2 is right.

[amalion.livejournal.com]

No 6. There is certainly a line like that in 'Zulu'

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes indeedy.

[wryelle.livejournal.com]

8. The Importance of Being Ernest?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

No, but I can see where you are coming from.

[segh.livejournal.com]

Could 12 be Singing in the Rain?
I have a nagging feeling that 9 might be a Marx Brothers. Which would still leave me thirteen to choose between . . .

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

12 is, 9 isn't - but I can definitely see where you are coming from on 9.

[lalwendeboggart.livejournal.com]

Is 11 "Breakfast At Tiffany's"?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

A reasonable guess ... but no.

[segh.livejournal.com]

That first one is driving me nuts. I have the feeling that it's followed by a spoof advertising sequence. Something like "How to succeed in business without really trying"?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

No, you're on the wrong lines.

[segh.livejournal.com]

I had a look at your interests. So many of them are interests of mine that it's almost alarming. However, I am still none the wiser.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I might give further clues soon.

[malaheed.livejournal.com]

4. Multiplicity?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Nope. Although there is a clue in the question.

[tree_and_leaf]

14's The Adventures of Robin Hood, I've just realised. Which took me remarkably long, given that I picked it as a favourite picture myself...

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed :-)

[segh.livejournal.com]

I violently dislike you. I could have sworn I knew all the Fred and Gingers intimately . . .
Is 11 from that film where she doesn't want to get married and he's a shrink?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

*shakes head*

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Creatrix says, "It's the one where Fred Astaire is a dancer, chasing the girl of his dreams." ;-)

[segh.livejournal.com]

Ah, why didn't I think of that!

[malaheed.livejournal.com]

4. Jekyll and Hyde?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed - well done.

[malaheed.livejournal.com]

And look at how many people have been using google for "Yep, two. One on the ramp, one in the hanger!" ... you livejournal comes out as number2 in the rankings....

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Fame at last :-)
