So, name the movie right?

1. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (Danny Elfman?)
2. The Fugitive (Harrison Ford)
3. The Fly (Jeff Goldblum)
4. Better Of Dead (John Cusack)
5. Ghostbusters (Ivan Reitman, I think)
6. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Grr. He was in Howard the Duck. Jeffrey Jones!)
7. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Joe Morton, I believe.)
8. The Mask (Jim Carrey)
9. Wow. Not ringing any bells.
10. I've got nothing.
11. Again, nothing.
12. Police Academy (David... grr, can't remember his last name, but I believe he passed away last year.)
13. Drawing a complete blank.
14. Sneakers (Stephen Tobolowsky. "Hello, my name is Werner Brandes, my voice is my passport.")

The rest have me stumped.

KJ - Not bad at all, although I'm thinking you'll kick yourself on 15 and 16.

Oh, I'm going to kick myself multiple times, I'm sure.

Oh, crap! Alex Rogan (16) is The Last Starfighter, and I have no idea who played him!

#10 - Groundhog Day?
#13 - Contact, one of my all time faves even if they butchered the book.
#15 - Wargames. Would you like to play?

Frank-
Awesome. You got all three right. But what the heck do you mean about the book?? The movie Contact was based off the book, and although I loved the movie, I thought the original book by Carl Sagan was even better. I put up a super-brief book review, and I know the book was really slow in the middle, but that ending was amazing.

2. Fugitive
5. Ghost Busters
8. The Mask
9. In Good Company
10. Groundhog Day
13. Contact

Wow - we've got answers to all but the last three. (I tried to make them progressively harder)

is the last one A Few Good Men? I don't know, just a guess. I remember a scene in the movie when they call on a few airmen...

Bingo.
...and I would never have known what 18 was either. Really obscure. I'll post an answer summary soon.

Okay, I'm kicking myself over Phil Conners, as I almost guessed Groundhog Day but decided against it.

I'm not at all upset about missing 13 or 15, as I hated Contact and only saw Wargames once umpteen years ago.

I've never seen In Good Company, and even seeing the name of the movie I couldn't tell you what it's about or who's in it.

So that leaves 11, 17 and 18 unanswered, correct?

My feelings about Contact are this; I watched the movie first, read the book second and then felt that movie could have been much more interesting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film but I felt they dumbed it down too much. So when I say butchered I mean they didn't do the book justice :)
