Movie keyword meme

[dr_whom]

Here's a meme taken from tahnan. The idea is, I choose ten movies and list three IMDB "plot keywords" for each of them; you have to guess the movies on the basis of those keywords (which uniquely identify the movie). No cheating and actually looking at IMDB.

1. Audio Cassette / Frozen River / Infatuation
2. Battle Hymn Of The Republic / Lawyer / Small Town
3. French Maid / Library / Teacup
4. Amusement Park / Impresario / Reunion
5. Eating Brains / Knife / Secret Tunnel
6. Milkman / Railway Station / Sewing Machine
7. Ex Wife / Gentleman Thief / Rhyming Slang
8. Hot Air Balloon / Mistaken Identity / Pig
9. God / Ham Radio / Prime Numbers
10. Bed And Breakfast / Insurance Agent / Time Travel

9. Contact?

[dr_whom]

Contact! It's the reason! It's the moment! It's...

...that is to say, right.

#3 is Beauty and the Beast, I'd think.

[dr_whom]

It is!

[striderhlc.livejournal.com]

This may be wrong, but is #10 Groundhog Day?

It involved a bed and breakfast and time travel, at least.

It is Groundhog Day! The insurance agent is the guy Bill Murray runs into on the sidewalk on his way to the park.

Ah, cool.

Another shot in the dark: My Cousin Vinny for #2? It's got the small town and lawyer covered, and The Battle Hymn of the Republic may well have been in there somewhere.

My Cousin Vinny is a good guess, but not the right movie.

Is #5 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

[dr_whom]

I'm afraid not. I'm gratified that you thought it was, though.

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Yay!!
3. Could this be Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?
9. Pi?

[dr_whom]

(1) is right! Not (3) and (9) though, although I see how you could have thought (9) looked like π.

2. Inherit the Wind?

[dr_whom]

Nicely done!

8. The Great Muppet Caper

[dr_whom]

But of course.

Is #5 Clue? It certainly has a knife and a secret tunnel, and though monkey's brains may not be not often seen in Washington DC, they do get eaten.

[dr_whom]

I was totally hoping to throw people off the scent and make people guess (3) for ''Clue'' first, but you are correct.

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5. Clue
7. Ocean's 11

I wish I could get the others! I like this meme, though - it's a fun word-association.

[dr_whom]

Right on all three! And first correct answer for number 7, as well.

Could No. 4 possibly be

[notachnai.livejournal.com]

A Mighty Wind?

And it seems too simple, but is no. 6

[notachnai.livejournal.com]

Fiddler--I mean Tevye is a milkman, and Hodel leaves from a railway station, and there is a blessing over a new sewing machine . . .

Re: And it seems too simple, but is no. 6

[dr_whom]

Simple is often correct! And that was the last one; now they're all answered.

Re: Could No. 4 possibly be

[dr_whom]

It is! Nicely done.
