Movie Quiz 7

[caffeinated]

It's Movie Quiz time, folks!

I tried to make a decent mix of easy and tough movies to identify this week. And maybe, just maybe, I succeeded.

Even so, I have to tell you that I'll be pretty stunned if anybody can name the movie in #7.

Good luck!

WOW - these are really tough!!! I have no clue, but dying to know what #1 is LOL

 

[mfraz25]

Oh oh oh.

I know numbers 1, 2 and 8!

 

[evilfrog]

You got some good ones there! Few people will get #7. I don't know 2 or 8 (children's films! ack!). 3 5 6 7 I know on sight. Pretty sure on 4... blanking on 1 but I've seen it. Got it!

Amusing in 6 to see the WZAZ microphone

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Got it. Yep, #7 is pretty obscure. I was originally thinking "Orgazmo."

 

[Elphaba13]

I got 1, 2 and 3 straight up. It was all downhill from there lol.

 

[technovapir]

I only know 3 & 6 so far. Others look familiar...I've got to get on my thinking cap.

 

[pinklilpixie4]

wow I fail all around this week... Gotta think on em. Cuz I know I've seen a few of em!!

 

[vaporgalinfla]

4, 5 and 6 look familiar to me, but I can't remember what the movies are!

#4 taught me a new swear word: fargin' iceholes.
#5 there was a Happy Days episode inspired by that movie. The Fonz and Howard Cunningham were on jury duty.
#6 ...and it looks like a big Tylenol!

Too much?

RE: #7 -- The only people I know who have seen that movie are friends I've loaned my DVD copy to. So, imagine my surprise to see that two replies in the thread not only seem to know what it is, but that they're able to ID the movie from that screenshot!

Not surprisingly, it's exactly the two people who I thought might have seen it.

Until your post prompted me to Google WZAZ, I didn't even know that those were real call-letters. Now that I know what WZAZ is, yeah, that is amusing.

Thanks for the hints! Now I remember what #4 is. I loved that movie!

edit: I for sure know 5 and 6 too.

No no, its the filmmakers initials. ZAZ.
I think 7 won an award at Sundance (though I could be wrong), so it's not completely unknown. I think it's one of those made-for-$10k films. I thought it was pretty good.

 

[bobsyeruncle]

#7. One reviewer said that "anybody who claims he fully understands what's going on in blahblahblah after seeing it just once is either a savant or a liar."

It was made for $7k, most of which went for film stock. It took in $424,760 at the box office.

Oh yeah! Wow, now my earlier comment seems kinda dumb... Especially in light of the actual cleverness of WZAZ.

Yeah, I believe I read somewhere that the whole production was paid for on credit cards!

Aw c'mon, you can't be expected to get every inside joke in movies. I'm just a movie nerd. '
WZAZ being a Gospel station (I googled it just now) is also humorous

If you really want to test your movie knowledge watch something like The Limits of Control. It's essentially made of references.

I found both explanations of WZAZ & ZAZ to be very interesting in a movie nerd sort of way!
Now I want more...Let the movie nerd references begin!!

So, this one time ....uh, at film school... I stuck a flute in ....
