#2 is Office Space.
And I’m tempted to say #4 is Crocodile Dundee, although that feels inherently wrong somehow…
Oh, and #1 is Casino Royale.
You’re wrong about #4 but you got the other two. Good going.
5. Charade
I think #3 is Roman Holiday.
#5 is from a Harry Potter book, so probably a movie as well.
Oh. Unless it’s Charade.
Is #7 Barton Fink?
That’s an impressive array of wrong answers.
Maurinsky, hotels don’t have porters, they have bellhops. But the uniform is similar. Roberta, #3 is not Roman Holiday, although it did have a hidden camera.
Is #7 Murder on the Orient Express?
#6 is Inside Man.
And damn…I knew two of the three that were already guessed (Charade and Office Space.
Is # 4 from Wild at Heart with Nick Cage?
NOW we’re cooking with gas!
Get here at 9:15 am and the whole thing is done! Except for #3, which is The Big Sleep.
d’Oh! That’s why #3 seemed so familiar.
Yay George!
