From\_a\_to\_z, you’re right about 25 and 26. 🙂 🙂 Unanswered: 22. \*Damn Yankees, \* with Ray Walston. 24. _Extreme Makeover, Home Edition._ 30. Mighty Mouse. 😛 Ten more: 31. A newsreel item shows a body, in a coffin, being carried out of a house–a former wife of a famous athlete. 32. A British soldier shuffles cards and invites an onlooker to play. 33. A woman with a hideously twisted face looks into her hand mirror–satisfied. 34. A scene in the _Enterprise_with this dialogue: Spock–“We’re about to be swallowed by a giant sheepdog!” Kirk-- “For God’s sake, I hope he’s been wormed!” 35. A younger man and his wife see an older man and woman, and another younger man, coming across the street–and almost literally barricade themselves inside. 36. A mother pig is removed from her piglets in a stockyard, and a milking machine replaces her. ☹ 37. Inside an elevator shaft, the rollers of an elevator car approach a planted supply of explosives–suspensefully slow. 38. As a man in a bizarre machine looks on, the flesh on a dead monster’s head decomposes and eyes fall out of the sockets–then the bones start to moulder away… 39. In a courtroom, a judge pushes piles of mail (on the bench) out of his way–and makes his ruling in the case before the bar. 40. An irritated man picks up a hidden camera and slams it down on another man’s head! ---

God help me, I know this: **34** – **Zapped!** I showed this dreram sequence (and no other part of the film) at one of my Bad Film Festivals **37** – **The Guns of Navarone** , of course. #38 is indeed from **The Time Machine**. The 1960 Rod Taylor/George Pal version. ---

> [@](#): > > DM - 37. Inside an elevator shaft, the rollers of an elevator car approach a planted supply of explosives–suspensefully slow. That’s not from **Speed** is it? NDP 4 through 9 have all been correctly answered. (However regarding NDP 8, I believe it was George C. Scott’s character who was drinking the milk.) A few more: NDP 10 - A man makes a peanut butter sandwich for his daughter only to be told by her that she’s allergic to peanuts; and NDP 11 - Two men take a ride in a ferris wheel. ---

Some more hints for those of mine still unanswered: DY1. The artist’s use of the color blue sells the painting. Later, a boy claims his half-brother stole his pencil. DY2. There’s an unidentifiable war in a unidentifiable forest. Later, a man first imagines himself as a general, then as a fish. DY3. The radio tells us the cows need to be gotten into the barn. Earlier, we learn that pink and gold were her favorite colors. ---
