Silly guess-the-movie

[kate_nepveu]

From various people: guess the movie or TV series from three of the IMDB's plot keywords:

1. Stabbed In The Shoulder, Birthday Party, End Of Mankind
2. Geese, Black Box, Temperature (ETA: IMDB has this as "black box recorder," which isn't quite right; sorry)
3. Old War Buddies, Gun Nut, Mysterious Past
4. Hollowed Out Book, Library, Hope
5. Giant Spider, Battering Ram, Pyre
6. Genocide, Suit Of Armor, Military
7. Acrobat, EMP, Mormon
8. Pudding, Brain Surgery, Tortoise
9. Torture, Cliff, True Love
10. Animate Tree, Scaling Ladder, Rabbit
11. Black Suit Clad Killer, Union, Convenience Store
12. Ice Skating, Briefcase, Reckless Driving
13. US Embassy, Amnesia, Fishing Boat
14. Vincent Van Gogh, Baseball, Mushroom Cloud
15. Good Cop Bad Cop, Plastic Surgery, Shootout

(I'm bolding the ones that are still left to be guessed.)

5. Except those things are all in the Return of the King movie. Yes, Shelob is the the Two Towers book . . . *grin*

[kate_nepveu]

5. Yes

[kate_nepveu]

5. No

15. No

4. Shawshank Redemption

6. Starship Troopers?

15. L.A. Confidential?

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

Except the suit of armor wasn't in the movie of Starship Troopers.

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

...Was in the TV cartoon, though, I think.

[kate_nepveu]

It's not Starship Troopers.

[kate_nepveu]

4. Yes

6. No

15. Yes

[kate_nepveu]

Re: 15. The plastic surgery was probably too much of a red herring, but I've never seen _Face/Off_ so I didn't even think of it, and to me "Is this how you used to run the good cop/bad cop?" is very memorable.

[larabeaton.livejournal.com]

D'oh! 11 is Grosse Point Blank, isn't it?

[kate_nepveu]

Yes. =>

[richboye.livejournal.com]

I love that movie.

Nothing more to add here.

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

7 is the Ocean's 11 remake. Well, I'm not sure what a mormom is.

[kate_nepveu]

Yes. (Ack, typo.)

[prince-corwin.livejournal.com]

13 ...Bourne Identity?

[kate_nepveu]

Yes.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

1. Fellowship of the Ring?

10. Some combination of Two Towers and Monty Python Holy Grail?

8. Punch Drunk Love (I'm basing that entirely on the pudding)

[kate_nepveu]

1. Yes

8. No

10. No

[kate_nepveu]

10. The rabbit is from the cooking scene. (_TT_ was weirdly short of distinctive keywords.)

[gwyneira.livejournal.com]

3. Firefly?

[kate_nepveu]

Yes.

[orzelc.livejournal.com]

12: Ronin

[kate_nepveu]

Yes.

[richboye.livejournal.com]

I smell collusion.

[kate_nepveu]

No.

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Guessing without looking at previous comments:

1. Fellowship of the Ring
3. Firefly
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. Return of the King
10. The Two Towers
15. Faceoff

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Aw, I didn't get any new ones. Is 6 Escaflowne?

[kate_nepveu]

No.

[kate_nepveu]

And you were the first to get _The Two Towers_ . . .

[kate_nepveu]

Yes to all but 15.

I was wondering who would be the first to notice that I put all three LotR movies in. =>

[rilina.livejournal.com]

I recognized 5 first and then went, "Wait a second..."

2. Lost?
6. FMA?

[rilina.livejournal.com]

8. Animaniacs?

[kate_nepveu]

Baw! No.

[kate_nepveu]

(Err, Bwah!)

[rilina.livejournal.com]

It was an irresistable guess, given your icon.

14. Samurai Champloo?

[kate_nepveu]

Yup!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I didn't get that earlier! Ah, the cracktasticness of anime.

[kate_nepveu]

I think that "TV series" didn't stand out very well in the instructions, otherwise this & FMA would've been guessed much sooner.

[kate_nepveu]

2. No (But Chad points out over my shoulder that the IMDB keyword is a bit misleading, so I will edit)

6. Yes

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

Is 8 "Sleeper"?

I keep thinking 2 is "The Core" but I can only remember pigeons figuring prominently in it, not geese.

[kate_nepveu]

Sorry, neither.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

OH, 2 is Sneakers!

[kate_nepveu]

Yes!

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I cheated on 8, so I know what it is, but I'm not going to post because I cheated...

[oyceter]

Hey! Somehow I missed this the first time around!

6. FMA
9. Princess Bride
12. Long Kiss Goodnight?

[kate_nepveu]

6. Yes

9. Yes

12. No (haven't seen it)
