Sheep headphone wearers? Ear muffled ewes? Deaf and wooly? Help me out here. I still can’t figure out the planet one. I must have killed those brain cells. ---

OK, got the planet one, FINALLY. Still need the woman and 2 kids, the stairs guys, the tunnel and apparently something else that I can’t even find, because I have 46 of 50. I’m so fired after today. 😉 ---

[/QUOTE] I had to cheat on all 3 of these. \<\_\< Let’s see if I can’t get you some hints so you won’t have to. \>\_\> The woman and kids: She’s the one that’s important, not the kids. The stairs guys: It’s a recent remake. … Uhm, that’s the best I can do without giving it away. The tunnel: The tunnel itself is not what’s important…it’s a description of the inside. ---

Thanks, I cheated to get those too. I also cheated to get the 4th one, it was Alien. I forgive myself because I thought I had already gotten that one. ---
