And the answers are:

Since everyone has guessed the answers to the plot keyword game, except for the elusive #8, here are the answers:

1. Magic / Genie / Anime / Lamp / Princess (um, duh.)

-That's Aladdin. I figured that'd be pretty easy. Rob thought so, too.

2. Tragic Incident / Talking Animal / No Opening Credits / Falsely Accused / Stampede (slightly more challenging, but still kind of a duh.)

-The Lion King. I figured the "talking animal" and "stampede" part would give it away. Another Rob win.

3. Nostalgic / Bathing Suit / Humor / Ponytail / Young Boy

-The Man In the Moon. I saw that movie when I was like 12 and LOVED it. I think these are probably the most vague of all of the keywords, so kudos to mayberry for working it out.

4. Spanking / Friendship / School Life / Poignant / Education

-Dead Poets Society. Odd, since there was like one spanking in the movie. Go Melinda!

5. Post It / Hypnosis / Kung Fu / Cult Comedy / Arson

-Office Space! Atta boy, Rob. I figured the "Kung Fu" and "Cult Comedy" would give it away.

6. Husband Wife Relationship / Widow / Wedding / Candle / Tragic Love

-Siiiiiggghhhh, The Notebook. Best. Chick flick. Ever. Which is why it's a little odd that Melinda got it. I don't think of her as the chick flick type :) We'll have to watch Steel Magnolias next time we hang out.

7. Interracial Kiss / Loser / Teen Movie / Teenage Boy / Young Director

-Heck yes, it was Napoleon Dynamite, mayberry!!

8. Severed Hand / Melodrama / Armor / Chosen One / Destiny (Drew calls foul on this one...)

-Folks, I'm sorry to say, this is The Passion of the Christ. Severed hand? No. Pierced, I'll give you. Yeah, I don't know. That's IMDB for ya. Nobody got it till my extremely blatant hints in the comments. When I told Rob, he said "The 'mel'-odrama is a really bad pun :)" Other gueses include The Empire Strikes Back, Evil Dead, Edward Scissorhands, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, all of which gave me the mad giggles when considering the actual answer.

9. Male Female Relationship / Model / Football Stadium / Concussion / Shot With Arrow

-Ten Things I Hate About You. GOSH I love this movie, and I'd watch it a thousand times. Kudos, Melinda, for getting yet another chick flick :)

10. Teenage Girl / Insult / Earring / Teenage Angst / Teenage Boy

- The Breakfast Club. One more for mayberry.

Are you reading this? Consider yourself tagged.

These are just a few of my favorite movies. If I had to pick a real favorite out of all of them, I'd be hard pressed to choose between Aladdin and Dead Poets Society. However, if I do stumble across any of these movies on TV, I will watch them straight through.
