Movie Quiz 26

[caffeinated]

Last quiz of the year. Y'all ready?

For what it's worth, I'd guess that number 8 is the toughest one to ID this week. It wasn't a wildly popular movie, but it definitely should have been seen by more people. It's not any sort of masterpiece or anything, but it's well worth 90-ish minutes of your time, IMO.

Anyway, let's see which of these movies you can identify.

Good luck!

As usual, I'll post the answers Sunday morning. Or maybe not, it being New Years day and all. But, that's the plan anyway... We'll see how it plays out.


Also, since this will be the last quiz for 2011, when I post the answers I'm also going to post a list of all the quiz movies I've used so far.

 

[Norry]

After feeling movie illiterate last week, I'm on a roll this week. I know all 8 (including number 8. I watch all space movies LOL).

If you had posted #5 two weeks ago I'd never have guessed what it was but my granddaughters convinced me to rent it and I watched it with them about a week ago. Since my son is engaged to a gal with 2 little girls (who call me grandma already) I'm becoming a kid movie connoisseur.

 

[Norry]

Caff--Did everybody run away this weekend?

 

[evilfrog]

Not sure about 4, never saw 5. pretty sure about the rest (even 8!)

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Just late to the party I guess. Anyway, I got 'em. Thanks caff.

 

[Loveridden]

Um I know 2 lol - and definitely don't know 8!

 

[vaporgalinfla]

1, 2, and 7 look familiar. Hopefully I remember what movies they are tomorrow!

 

[ruff]

only ones i cant place are #4 and #7 the others im pretty sure about

 

[caffeinated]

Maybe a few hints will help move the thread along...

#8: Sam Rockwell stars as all of the movie's featured characters, all three of which are clones.

#1: "There's a new sheriff in town. And his name is Reggie Hammond. So y'all be cool."

#6: Richard Pryor plays the movie's covertly wealthy title character, a pitcher for the Hoboken Zephyrs.

#3: "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."

OK now, step up and post your guesses!

 

[technovapir]

Wahoo! I know all but number 5 this week!
I know #8 thanks to Comcast playing it about a million times during the summer!
Happy NewYear gang!

 

[Elphaba13]

At first I only knew one. After the clues I had two! Not a great start to the new Year for Elpha!

 

[caffeinated]

Giving the thread one more bump. I'll post the answers late tonight.

 

[vaporgalinfla]

Caff - Please wait until tomorrow night to post the answers! I don't know about anyone else, but I've not had much time to figure out answers yesterday or today.

Sure thing. I was already kinda thinking about holding off anyway.

OK then, tomorrow night it is!

5. This particular vehicle can't actually talk.
6. This character thought the candidates running for election were so bad that he ran himself. But, he urged everyone to vote "none of the above". He never intended to actually win.
