LOL!!
I dunno, FantWriter... I'm just not seeing it.
That doesn't make your comment any less hilarious, though.

More hints!
#5: During a preview tour, an island theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its dangerous exhibits to run amok.
#6: An unorthodox and irreverent DJ begins to shake up things when he is assigned to the US Armed Services Radio station in southeast Asia.
#7: The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, who is now operating under a new name, (which is part of this movie's title). He sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. The film is based on a long-running, hit Broadway musical, and the titular character, portrayed by Johnny Depp, is in the screenshot.
#8: Sandy Olsen is a goody two shoes from Australia, Danny Zuko is the head T-Bird from Rydell High. They met and fell in love over the summer. But when they unexpectedly discover they're now in the same high school, will they be able to rekindle their romance?
Answers coming tomorrow night!

Yeah, I've heard of Some Like It Hot. Feel a little dumb right now. Haven't seen it.
Delores Clairborne is one I haven't seen and wouldn't have gotten it with pretty much any clue.
All the rest I've seen, except for Sweeny Todd.
Great list and another good contest.

Thanks, caff! Great quiz (I'm always happy when I get more than 2, even if I haven't actually watched the movies.)
