By the way, I recommend all of these movies.

1. An officer pisses in his own pants, and then blows his brains out.
Dances With Wolves (solved by Daven)

2. The name of the main character of this gangster film is never revealed. When he calls another character’s girlfriend to make a date with her, he just says “It’s me.” Gossip columnists had the actors playing the main character and the girlfriend linked romantically.
Layer Cake (solved by Tom)
Explanation: Daniel Craig (our Bond connection) was rumored to be romantically linked with Sienna Miller shortly after the story broke that Jude Law had been unfaithful to her.

3. “Never put this bat in the closet.”
A Few Good Men (solved by Amy)

4. The vindictive children of her employer break a painted tile that she loves.
Girl With a Pearl Earring (solved by Tom)

5. “It’s not slutty, it’s fun.”
Pleasantville (solved by Amy)

6. A sax player, a waitress, and a magic rock.
HINT: The sax player is an Oscar nominee. The waitress is an Oscar winner. The magic rock was making its film debut.
Lulu on the Bridge (unsolved)
(For what it’s worth, Arthur knew it when I told him the clue, but hasn’t had a chance to log on.)
Explanation: Harvey Keitel (Oscar nominee for Bugsy) played a sax player who meets waitress Mira Sorvino (Oscar winner for Mighty Aphrodite). An admittedly obscure, strange, haunting movie.

7. A film makeup artist takes pictures of his girlfriend with gory makeup on. When someone else gets the pictures at the developer, he is looked at with suspicion.
Short Cuts (solved by George and Chas)
