another movie quiz

[Tom Poje]

ah yes, just when you thought you could get something in the office done, after a search I have found another quiz for you. I of course fail because I am not much of a movie watcher. On the other hand, I also have the answers.

mean and nasty Tom at it again, forcing you to solve these things.

as usual, give someone a chance to solve some of these before posting answers!

Can you identify all 41 movies from the trailer (catch phrase) used to promote the film?

For example:

#17 - Love Story

[Santo Gold]

#3 - The Story of the 2006 Pension Reform Bill

#5 - The DOL Auditor Always Rings Twice

#36 - Fahrenheit Form 5500

[Archimage]

I was thinking #5 was Poltergeist.

[Tom Poje]

ok, so you folks have solved a couple, though I do like Santo Gold's answers.

I'm still waiting for WDIK to yell at me for posting a puzzle a few days before the weekend!

[WDIK]

I do not recall ever yelling (typing in all caps) at you. However, please consider my irritation expressed.

[Lame Duck]

A few guesses

#7 Animal House

#13 Roger Rabbit

#25 The Blues Brothers

#33 The Graduate

[pmacduff]

I believe #18 is a horror movie like maybe "Halloween"?

[Guest DFerrare]

#1Men in Black

#6 Alien

#14 American Graffitti

#15 Superman

#21 Cool Hand Luke

#24 Ghostbusters

#29 Natural Born Killers

[Tom Poje]

answers all correct so far, except #29, though the one guy in the office here also had Natural Born Killers, so I looked up that movie and found the following taglines for it:

The Media Made Them Superstars.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the media circus of life, they were the main attraction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bold new film that takes a look at a country seduced by fame, obsessed by crime and consumed by the media.

#37 Basic Instinct

And now one for Tom

Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas.

[WDIK]

#27 - Psycho

#28 - Annie Hall

[david rigby]

I think this is a plot by Tom to distract us, so we won't pay attention to our clients, and he can steal them.

[Tom Poje]

so far so good, though #16 offered 2 choices. one of those is correct.

Lame Duck:

my guess is "Sitting through one of my ASPPA presentations"

certainly they are 'trapped in time' for the duration of the presentation because they would feel bad if they got up and walked out.

and the energy level is certainly like running 'low on gas.'

[Lame Duck]

#16 War of the Worlds

That was a pretty good guess on my question, Tom, but it's not exactly what I was looking for. Keep trying.

[Tom Poje]

you went the wrong way on #16. just for the record.

but I guess that means the puzzle is solved.

as long as you had fun, dang, I didn't get a chance to take over some plans while pax worked out the puzzle.

hmmmm. I will have to work on formatting another puzzle. there is one based on television theme songs that I found.

[RCK]

I am horrified by this thread (and glad that I won't have internet access after noon today).

But I can add that I'm sure that DFerrare is incorrect on

#1 Protecting the earth from the scum of the Universe.

That was for ERISA-the Movie.

[R. Butler]

30. Jerry McGuire

32. Deliverance

34. Braveheart

[WDIK]

And now one for Tom

Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas.
