I'm enjoying the film quotes quiz which is going around, but a lot of my favourites have been done already.

This one is ten films I like, with three IMDB keywords - you get to guess the film from the keywords. No cheating with reverse lookups! As a twist, these films all have an additional keyword in common. What is it? ([livejournal.com profile] nmg knows!)

1. Bureaucracy, Air Conditioner, Singing Telegram - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] nmg)

2. Statue of Liberty, Concentration Camp, Teen Angst - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] cdave)

3. Strip Tease, Heroin, Volkswagen Bus - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] sion_a)

4. Surveillance, Marriage Proposal, Cannibalism - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] nmg)

5. Blood, Space Travel, Vacuum Cleaner - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] nmg)

6. Doomsday Device, Cowboy Hat, Aerial Refuelling - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] cdave)

7. Video Store, Swimming Champion, ABBA - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] nmg)

8. Comic Book, Train Crash, Genetic Abnormality - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] cdave)

9. Violence, Eye, Beethoven - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lupie_stardust)

10. Elvis Impersonator, Hieroglyphics, Gasoline - (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lupie_stardust)

I'm not screening comments, so make your guesses before you read 'em. I will wait a day before adding the answers to the list :-)

EDIT: I want to go watch all these now. Except #9.

Apt Pupil is such a wonderful film. I was reduced to tears of whimpering admiration for Lord Ian of McKellen. I hart him so much.

BWAHAHAHA. Fear my knowleeddgggee~

I have waved a fork at Ian McKellan. But I don't think he saw.

1. Brazil

Yep :-) 'Ducts' is not a keyword! How wrong is that??

Fairly sure about:
2. X Men
6. Dr Strangelove
8. Unbreakable

Wild guesses (and wholly inappropriate):
3. Trainspotting
5. Batteries not included
10. Lilo and Stitch

Missing key word:
Sci-Fi?
 
posted by [identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com at 03:56pm on 08/02/2008
2/6/8 Correct!

3/5/10 Wrong!

Not Sci-Fi.

7. Muriel's Wedding

Muuuriel!
 
posted by [identity profile] nmg.livejournal.com at 03:55pm on 08/02/2008
6. Dr Strangelove (or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb)
 
posted by [identity profile] nmg.livejournal.com at 04:01pm on 08/02/2008
Gaaaah!

5. Gattaca!

Yay!
 
posted by [identity profile] pjc50.livejournal.com at 04:02pm on 08/02/2008
3. Strip Tease, Heroin, Volkswagen Bus

Boogie Nights? (haven't seen it)

4. Surveillance, Marriage Proposal, Cannibalism

Brazil?

5. Blood, Space Travel, Vacuum Cleaner

That sounds like Spaceballs, except for the blood.

3/5 'Fraid not.

4. Good suggestion, but no. I don't recall any cannibalism in it...

Thinking about it, the common keyword has to be 'wheelchair'.
 
posted by [identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com at 04:12pm on 08/02/2008
It is indeed.
 
posted by [identity profile] nmg.livejournal.com at 04:11pm on 08/02/2008
And, if the common keyword is wheelchair, and knowing your likes, 4 *has* to be the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

(another slice, anyone?)

And 3 must be Little Miss Sunshine
 
posted by [identity profile] nmg.livejournal.com at 04:14pm on 08/02/2008
..which I've never seen. (it's got Alan Arkin in it, hasn't it?)
 
posted by [identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com at 04:15pm on 08/02/2008
See it! It's great, in a hideous sort of way!
 
posted by [identity profile] frandowdsofa.livejournal.com at 04:20pm on 08/02/2008
Pipped to the post, bugger. See it, it's very funny. And a bit sick and twisted.

I have been saving this icon for just this moment.

But I like far too many films with wheelchairs, cannibalism, and surveillance. And singing telegrams and robots.

You win this very small corner of The Internet!

3. Little Miss Sunshine?
 
posted by [identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com at 04:14pm on 08/02/2008
Full house!

That was an amazing film.
 
posted by [identity profile] rhubarbfool.livejournal.com at 04:33pm on 08/02/2008
2. X-men
3. Little Miss Sunshine
8. Unbreakable
9. A Clockwork Orange
10. Bubba Ho-tep
 
posted by [identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com at 04:48pm on 08/02/2008
Yes indeedy.
 
1) Brazil
2) X-Men
6) ummm Dr Strangelove?
7) Muriel's Wedding
8) Also X-Men, presumably I'm wrong about 2
9) Clockwork Orange
10) Bubba Ho Tep presumably

He adds
She's right about 2 but wrong about 8, which is Unbreakable. 5 might be Space Truckers
 
and after a certain amount of prompting from Him (who has looked at the comments) I got the meta link.
 
Six is good :-)

1 -- Brazil? (But I don't remember the singing telegram's being from this movie)
2 -- Logan's run?
3 -- Dunno, but I think it's probably not Little Miss Sunshine (which I haven't seen)
4 -- Eating Raoul???
5 -- Teletubbies Gone Wild?
6 -- Dr. Strangelove (yee haw!)
7 -- Muriel's wedding
8 -- The Fugitive Thing
9 -- A clockwork orange
10 -- Bubba Ho Tep

Haven't seen Unbreakable, either.

> 5 -- Teletubbies Gone Wild?

LOL! LOL till I can't see any more!

My work here is done.

The only two I can guess:

#6 -- Dr. Strangelove, which I've seen.

and #10 -- Bubba Ho Tep, which I haven't.
