IMDB meme

OK, for better or worse I had to do this one.

Guess 10 of my favourite films from their IMDB keywords.

1. Truck Stop/Flashback Sequence/Jump from Bridge.

2. Flatulence/National Emergency/Answering Machine. (Sean of the Dead - got by a combination of epideme and dsn)

3. Irreverant/Human Relationship/Surreal.

4. Political Protest/Death Ray/Christ Allegory. (The Day the Earth Stood Still - got by vestalvagrant and T. combined)

5. Traffic Violation/Obscene Finger Gesture/Funny Nazi. (The Blues Brothers - got by ang_grrr)

6. Pool Cleaner/Garbage Dumpster/Kangaroo.

7. Marriage/Menage a Trois/Deaf.

8. Laboratory/Virgin/Scene based on painting. (Rocky Horror Picture Show - got by ang_grrr and bugshaw more or less simultaneously)

9. Breasts/American Football/Whipping.

10. Babe Scientist/Pollen/Diving.

A few clues: 2 are non-English speaking, they range from 1950s (earliest) to 2000s (latest) and at least one of them I can't remember the bit the keyword's referring to but it did make me laugh anyway.

Now I just have to remember what all of them were...

8. Virgins, eh?

[hnpcc]

yep!

I can't remember the bit the keyword's referring to but it did make me laugh anyway.

Flatulence?

4 has got to be Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

[hnpcc]

4 - no.

And there were a few words I couldn't remember and yes, that was one of them.

[hnpcc]

Actually there is one film where all three keywords made me go "What?"

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

1. Thelma and Louise?

That's all I know :)

[hnpcc]

Nope.

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

Damn! Then I know nothing! :)

[hnpcc]

Heh.

[vestalvagrant.livejournal.com]

T says number 4 is 'the one with the robot'. 50s, black and white. The robot's name is Gort. No more information is forthcoming. Also, Michael Renne is in it.

Is number 2 Thunderpants?

Eight is Rocky Horror. Silly me.

T says, 9 could be Wildcats with Goldie Hawn. But he doesn't remember any whipping in it.

Stab in the dark - 1 could be Saturday Night Fever.

3 - Amelie

For 6, we're saying Tank Girl. Just because.

[vestalvagrant.livejournal.com]

Ahh. Michael Renne was ill The Day The Earth Stood Still.

[hnpcc]

Heh, yep. Went through a point where a friend and I watched every movie mentioned in the opening lyrics.

[hnpcc]

2 - no, 9 - no, 3 - no, 6 - no.

[hnpcc]

And I've just realised why #6. *groan*

Seriously, I've never actually seen the entire film, although I've probably seen most of it (or it's been on in the background when I've picked people up etc).

From dsn

Ridicule
Starship Troopers
Mulholland Drive
Heathers
Sean of the Dead
Spoorloos

[hnpcc]

With numbers?

[epideme.livejournal.com]

no idea

[epideme.livejournal.com]

Well actually, thinking about it, Sean of the Dead is obviously 2.
3 is the only one that fits for Starship Troopers. The other films, I've not even heard of.

[hnpcc]

All the ones he's given are right, they're just not in order.

Sean of the Dead is right for numbers, Starship Troopers is actually a different number.

So hey, guess away! :-)
