movie key word quiz

Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at IMDb. In the overview at the top of each movie’s page, there are “Plot Keywords,” usually five of them. (Plus more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then the rest of us get to play movie buff and see if we can guess them.
I’m going to try to provide a variety for youse guys. And for a hint: I own all but one of these on DVD:
1 — Interrogation / Fight the System / Graphic Violence / Airplane / Confrontation
2 — Grapefruit / Highway Patrol / Knife / Ether / Journalist
(That one is just too easy.)
3 — Spy / Elevator Scene / Blockbuster / Dominatrix / Female Killer
(that’s easy, too)
4 — Sexual Violence / Self Inflicted Injury / Underwear / Attraction / Female Nudity
5 — Gymnastics / Bloopers During Credits / Championship / High School / Plagiarism
(SarahK might be the only person who gets this one)
6 — Disturbing / Forest / Surprise After End Credits / Lemonade / Shotgun
7 — Porno Theater / Satanism / Tattoo / Film in Film / Drive In
(holy crap! What must you people think of my taste in movies with some of these key words?!)
8 — Uzi / Violence / Revolution / Parent Child Relationship / Profanity in Title
(I can only think of one person who should get this)
9 — Caterpillar / Spring / Dog / Sentimental / Woodpecker
10 — No Opening Credits / Man Hunt / Romance / Facade / European Women
Well, that was interesting. Place your guesses in the comments.
Now for the tag (I’m supposed to tag ten. Do I know that many bloggers?):
Jared (because you’re a movie buff)
sherlock (because you’ll have fun with it)
SarahK (you can use the break from ameliorating your house)
Harvey (because it will annoy you)
Chickie (because we need a Canadian)
Tink (because you allowed me to stalk you)
Amanda (just because)
That’s seven. Close enough.

5-Bring It On
#10 - Is that Bourne Identity?
#4 - is that Fatal Attraction?
Damn. This is hard…
5 is Bring It On (I knew I could count on you, Sarah!)
10 is Bourne Identity (yay Chickie!)
but, no, Fatal Attraction is a movie I have not yet watched.
1 - fight club
2 - fear and loathing in las vegas
4 - secretary
JVH: yes, yes, yes
And I’m shocked, SHOCKED, you have not yet supplied the answer to 8. But the key words are a bit odd.
8 - sfw?
indeed.
S.F.W. is the only movie I don’t own of the ten listed.
well most have been answered
3 mr & mrs smith
4 what no dennis? cabin fever?
7 we don’t own 8mm so I’ll go with Cecile B Demented!
For clarity and easier reading, let me compile the provided answers so far:
1 - Fight Club
2 - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3 - Mr & Mrs Smith
4 - Secretary
5 - Bring It On
6 - Cabin Fever
7 - Cecil B Demented (I love this movie, and John Waters autographed our copy when sherlock met him!)
8 - S.F.W.
9 -
10 - The Bourne Identity
caterpillar, what the heck? caterpillars in the spring… is the movie called Butter Flies in the Fall? Butter Flieth Before a Fall?
yeah, um, #9 is not easy. I would not have utilized 4 of those phrases to describe the movie. Would it help to know I saw it in the movie theater in 1981?
Well we don’t own labyrinth, I don’t think bugs life has a dog or woodpecker. corpse bride? not sure how woodpecker fits in.
You tagged me, but are you sure you want to try me? I just looked at my first movie and I don’t think anyone will guess it.
well that kills corpse bride now doesn’t it?
fox and the hound
