All done!
1. A “key party” and a bizarre electrocution.
Solved by Roberta (woo hoo) (comment #1).
2. His wife drops him off at the Montreal airport driving a bright yellow Volkswagen Beetle.
Hint: Comedy of the past fifteen years. The star (who is dropped off at the airport) has a current TV series.
Solved by maurinsky (comment #17).
3. “Watch the birdie, you bastard.”
Solved by Evn (comment #2).
4. Two bookstores, opposite each other on the same street. One manager flirts with the hero, one is hostile towards him.
Solved by George (comment #10).
5. She was on a ski trip; when she comes home, her apartment is completely empty.
Hint: Classic mystery with a heavy dose of dark comedy.
Solved by George (comment #18).
6. “Look, everybody! Aren’t these a nun’s hands?”
Solved by Melville (comment #14).
7. The lobsters manage to get behind the refrigerator.
Solved by Roberta (comment #1).
#1 = Ice Storm.
Whooh freaking hooh!
#3 = You’ve Got Mail.
#7 = Annie Hall.
3 = License To Kill.
4 = You’ve Got Mail.
I meant 4!!!
( I am so freaking dyslexic.)
And PS the nun thing is killing me.
Roberta, I am sure you can get the nun thing.
Evn & Roberta, #4 is not You’ve Got Mail. So weird that both of you got the same wrong answer. I know there are two bookstores in You’ve Got Mail, but the owner of one doesn’t flirt with the hero, he is the hero.
# 4 is “You Have Mail”
never mind, dang
Is #5 Working Girl?
#5 is not Working Girl, and I have dang neverminded.
#4 is The Big Sleep. That moment when Dorothy Malone takes off her glasses epitomizes bookish sexiness.
YAY George for digging the bookish sexy.
But I’m right, too, on the movie…
100% right and credited as such.
#6 is Cabaret
Roberta totally knew that.
Oh. god.
#2 is The Whole Nine Yards
Is #5 Charade–haven’t seen it in awhile, but seems to fit your description. And has one o fthe best lines in film, when Audrey Hepburn says to Cary Grant, “You know what’s wrong with you…nothing.”
That’s right, George, and that’s my favorite line as well.
