Plot keyword game

A long, long time ago I saw an interesting game on my girl Christina's blog. I wanted to do it, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Basically, you take some of your favorite movies, go to imdb.com and look them up and look at the plot keywords. Post the plot keywords on your blog, then have people guess the movies based on the usually extremely vague keywords. By the way, to my myspace friends, looking on my profile is straight up cheating. Don't be a cheater.

Here goes!

1. Magic / Genie / Anime / Lamp / Princess (um, duh.)
2. Tragic Incident / Talking Animal / No Opening Credits / Falsely Accused / Stampede (slightly more challenging, but still kind of a duh.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There ya go! Enjoy!

gonna take a crack at the few I think I know...

1) Aladdin (duh)
2) "The Lion King"
3) "fast times at ridgemont high" comes to mind... but I doubt that's it.
4) Probably "Breakfast club"... tho I don't remember any spanking...
5) "Office Space"
6) no clue...
7) "sixteen candles"
8) "Army of darkness" (since when is that a favorite movie of yours, tho?)
9) No clue...
10) I'm thinking "Pretty in pink"

How'd I do, toots?

You got 1, 2, and 5, Rob. Y'all are gonna be fairly surprised at number 8.

OK, you have me perplexed and that's fairly easy to do on Friday's when I'm brain dead but I think #3 is "Man in the Moon"
#7 is Napoleon Dynamite
#8 Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire
#10 Breakfast Club

Others were already guessed or I had no idea.

Stacey said...

Mayberry, you got 3, 7, and 10. I have to say, I am dang impressed that you got 3! I figured that one was pretty obscure. I guess more girls my age have seen that than I imagined!! I LOVE that movie. Good job :)

#8 is totally misleading. I call foul on two of the keywords.

"THE" Rob Cerio said...

wait... is #8 one of the star wars movies? It could easily be either "attack of the clones" or "empire strikes back"...

Melinda said...

Okay, I'm going for:

4. Dead Poets Society
6. The Notebook
8. Gladiator OR Buffy the Vampire Slayer
9. 10 Things I Hate About You

Stacey said...

Rob - Drew thought "Empire Strikes Back," too, but nope.

Melinda, you got 4, 6, and 9. Atta girl! I hope you weren't a myspace cheater :)

SON OF a gun. So number 8 is the odd MAN out. HOLY cow, I didn't know it'd be that hard. Drew calls foul with a PASSION.

mayberry said...

Damit! I almost guessed Notebook on #6 but I didn't see how that could be right. Oh well.

Is #8 Edward Scissorhands??

Melinda said...

Okay, the only other severed hand movie I know of is The Addams Family.

JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE !! It's not That hard!!

Melinda said...

Okay, in my defense, my Christian bona fides expired a LONG time ago.

Stacey said...

But not your chick flick bona fides.
