Two movies I very much enjoyed went unsolved. Oh, well.
1. Colored string turns the recipe blue.
Bridget Jones’s Diary

2. The cop interviews a victim’s parents in a barn full of turkeys.
HINT: Produced and directed by an Academy Award winning actor, this movie features lots of single-scene appearances by well-known actors.
The Pledge (Produced and directed by Sean Penn)
Unsolved.
3. Personal ads written as poems.

5. “The idea was to kill myself, not feed the damn fish.”
Marnie

7. A man and his ex-wife play a game of popping a ball out of her person’s mouth, and then he catches it in his mouth (and vice versa).
Children of Men

Oh dear, this is embarassing. I’ve seen both of the unsolved movies and didn’t recognize either. 🙁
Honestly, I thought the rhyming personal ads was a dead giveaway. I’ve been doing these quizzes for years and you can just NEVER tell what someone will recognize.
