  1. Wendy says:

    3 is Man on Wire, no?

    5 are the D’Abo sisters?

  2. Wendy says:

    Huh, they’re not sisters. Sorry!

  3. Wendy says:

    Oh dear. While Googling Rocky Horror to see if it was an answer, I found out that the actor who played Riff now voices Ferb’s Dad on Phineas and Ferb (a Disney Channel cartoon, for those without the Disney Channel on in your house 24-7).

  4. Tom Hilton says:

    Is #4 Marie Antoinette?

  5. OhKen says:

    7 – The Truth About Cats and Dogs

  6. Debbie S says:

    4, Amadeus?

    I’m pretty sure #2 is The Hunger. (Bowie, Deneuve, Sarandon.)

  8. Deborah Lipp says:

    I really thought #5 was a giveaway.

  9. Hazel says:

    #5 is The Searchers (Natalie and Lana Wood)

  10. Melville says:

    I really thought #5 was a giveaway.

    I got it right away! It’s Lana and Natalie Wood in The Searchers.

  11. Melville says:

    Gah! Late by a minute! 🙁

  12. Melville says:

    #6 is One, Two, Three.

  13. Hazel says:

    I thought #1 might have been The Matrix but apparently it was Twister

  14. Deborah Lipp says:

    Hazel, I looked up a non-Twister movie that claims to be first. I will provide another clue.

  15. Evn says:

    Is #1 Grease?

  16. Deborah Lipp says:

    No.

    Waaaay too early for DVD release.

  17. Evn says:

    Hmmm. Evita?
