    One of my favorite quotes of all-time. I use it often.

  2. TehipiteTom says:

    I was thinking #5 might be Eve’s Bayou, but the IMDb says it’s set in 1962. Oh well.

  3. Evn says:

    I #2 The Color of Money?

  4. Evn says:

    And #6 is totally Amazon Women on the Moon.

  5. Evn says:

    And I think #3 is Man on the Moon. And tomorrow’s the Full Moon, so that’s the theme (which means I’m prolly wrong on #2).

  6. deblipp says:

    Evn, there was no doubt in my mind that you’d be the one to get #6.

  7. Hogan says:

    #7 is Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon.

  8. Melville says:

    #5 is Reese Witherspoon in The Man in the Moon.

  9. Trevor J says:

    #6 Amazon Women on the Moon

  10. Trevor J says:

    D’oh! Embarrassing. Good work, Evn.

  11. Evn says:

    Evn, there was no doubt in my mind that you’d be the one to get #6.

    “Blacks without Soul” is one of the funniest sketches of all time.

  12. TehipiteTom says:

    #1 is A Walk on the Moon.

  13. Roberta says:

    #1 is A Walk… oh, never mind. Tom just got it.

  14. deblipp says:

    #1 is probably my favorite of this week’s movies; 1 and 2 I guess.

  15. Roberta says:

    Great theme. A few of my favorite movies.

    I did not know that Judy died during filming of Junie Moon. You might remember my comparison; to me, the trio formed in As Good As It Gets was reminiscent of that film.

  16. Roberta says:

    (Had I shown up sooner, I could’ve banged these out!)

  17. deblipp says:

    I thought for sure you’d get the bladder line.

  18. Roberta says:

    Actually, I love that movie and that line, but I’d have drawn a blank. 1, 3 & 5 I had.

    (Although it’s easy to say that already knowing the theme. 5 may or may not have stumped me. It’s another of my favorites.)

  19. George says:

    Is #2 “Racing with the Moon”?

  20. deblipp says:

    George is back. Yay!

  21. George says:

    Had a meeting all morning. Glad you folks left one for me!
