I have to go out for a few hours; in my impatience I checked IMDB (sorry) to see if I was right on the last one. It says I am. so it’s my turn! 😃 **"An immortal legend. As you’ve only imagined."** [sub(]I’m gone for a few hours so if anyone else wants to confirm the answer for the winner, go ahead.)[/sub] ---

**Tarzan** , the animated Disney one. IMDB says I’m right (Tarzan, '99) so: “The world’s most private detective.” ---

Heheheheee! I got one! “The world’s most private detective.” **Zero Effect**. And I know it’s right because I just went and checked the box on my shelf! Good one, **thinksnow**! Hmmm. My turn now, huh? “In The Game Of Life, Play The Cards You’re Dealt.” Go! ---

This was just on TV two weeks ago: **American History X** (IMDB says I’m right, too, go me!) I didn’t know this next movie had a tagline, imagine my sirprise!) “This movie is totally out of control.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by thinksnow \* > \*\*“This movie is totally out of control.” \*\* Would that be **Kentucky Fried Movie**? :D. I haven’t watched that in forever, thanks for reminding me of it. New one: “God bless America…they’re going to need it.” This one is a little tougher. It’s an independant film but it’s fairly popular and it has a few famous people in it. ---

“SLC Punk” A little obscure for this game, don’t you think, Cisco. Though you wrote the OP, didn’t you… OK, next: “The Future Is History” ---

And I also gave the hint that it was an indie film. Anyway, yours is _12 Monkeys_ :D. I just watched that about three weeks ago, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I rememered. New one: “A homespun murder story” 'nother easy one. ---

**Fargo** , aye? I need to see that one again. NEXT, a good tag for a _really_ bad movie: “100% Pure Adrenaline.” ---

Somebody did that one on page 1, **thinksnow** (just goes to show how forgettable _Point Break_ was). How 'bout another one? 🙂 ---
