  1. Ken says:

    #6 – The Producers

  2. Ben Gruagach says:

    #7 – Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

    (I think!)

  3. Ken says:

    I wondered whether #7 was a Dapper Dan reference… but I didn’t remember that he was caught because of his pomade….

  4. Tom Hilton says:

    #5: Grosse Pointe Blank.

  5. Evn says:

    Is #2 The Princess Bride?

  6. deblipp says:

    Ken, he wasn’t caught, he was identified; the dogs sniff it and track him.

    Evn, nice try but no.

  7. George says:

    A couple of guesses–#2 is Silence of the Lambs, #3 is Summer of Sam.

  8. deblipp says:

    George, 50% is pretty good!

  9. Roberta says:

    very busy here at work and still entirely suckful.

  10. George says:

    Yeah, but the one I got correct is for a movie I haven’t seen and the one I got wrong is for a movie I have seen.

    I should sort of be automatically disqualified for that.

  11. Jason says:

    #2 – V For Vendetta
    That’s actually one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

  12. deblipp says:

    George, you’re fortunate that we’re very forgiving here.

  13. Barbs says:

    # 4 Is it Station Master? I was flipping past IFC and the movie had a dwarf in it

  14. deblipp says:

    #4 is not the Station Agent (a movie I love) but it is the same actor (Peter Dinklage) (and there’s your first hint — I think #4 is a toughie).

  15. Daven says:

    #4 Me, Myself and Irene

  16. […] …for Tuesday trivia. Filed under: Miscellany and Whatever — deblipp @ 8:56 am […]

  17. deblipp says:

    Daven, nice guess, but no.

  18. Ben Gruagach says:

    I think #4 is “Human Nature” (also starring Patricia Arquette and Tim Robbins.)

  19. Roberta says:

    Can you start putting the comment # with the solver’s name? It’s confusing.

  20. Barbs says:

    #1 The Untouchables?

  21. deblipp says:

    Oooh, sorry, no.

    Think 60s.

  22. deblipp says:

    Can you start putting the comment # with the solver’s name? It’s confusing.

    Good idea.
