    #5 – In Like Flint, although I wasn’t aware of a third movie… I see there was a TV movie from 1976 that I never heard of.

  2. Deborah Lipp says:

    Was it a TV movie? Sorry, I suck.

  3. Daven says:

    Number 6 is Independence Day
    Number 3 is Interview with a Vampire

  4. Deborah Lipp says:

    #3 is wrong, #6 is right.

  5. Melville says:

    #2 is Into The Wild

  6. Hazel says:

    #1 is In the Heat of the Night

  7. George says:

    #3 sounds like Indiscreet to me.

  8. Giljorak says:

    #7 In the name of the Father

  9. Wendy says:

    #4 is Girlfight with Michelle Rodriguez? It would be cheating to look up the director, though.

  10. Deborah Lipp says:

    Nice guess, Wendy, but it doesn’t start with “In.”

  11. Wendy says:

    Ack, not going with the theme. I should look at the answers first.

  12. Melville says:

    I think you’ve conflated two different Meg Ryan movies. Against The Ropes is a woman-centric boxing movie directed by a woman (Jane Campion), but In The Cut is the “in” title.

  13. Deborah Lipp says:

    crap, you’re right. Sorry.

  14. Melville says:

    Repeating my question (which seems to have gotten caught in the spam net):

    Have you mistakenly conflated two Meg Ryan movies? Against The Ropes is a woman-centric boxing movie directed by Jane Campion, while In The Cut is another Meg Ryan movie that came out at about the same time.

  15. Melville says:

    Oops, you rescued it. Sorry for the repeat.

  16. George says:

    Actually, Against the Ropes was directed by Charles Dutton, it’s In the Cut that Jane Campion directed.

  17. Deborah Lipp says:

    George and Melville, what happened exactly was: (1) I sat thinking of names of “In” movies and came up with In the Cut, (2) I immediately thought it was the Meg Ryan boxing movie, (3) I looked it up on the IMDb, saw it was Meg Ryan, decided I was right, (4) saw Jane Campion and several other female leads and devised the clue.
