One sentence summaries that miss the point -- The Game

#14. A woman spends the winter with her new best friend.

#15. A man buys a house in a nice New England Town, which he later burns down. (er, the town, not the house. Well, the house too.)

#16. A writer has some difficulties trying to finish his latest book.

14-Misery?
16-The Shining?

I may not have seen #15, but I’ll guess Children of the Corn?

#16 - Every movie ever made about writers?

#17 Baseball fan messes up his corn field
#18 Brooklyn youths become upset with pizzeria owner
#19 Real estate sales staff compete for cutlery

14 and 16 are correct, but 15 is not. You’re on the right track though, in that I was going for a Stephen King trifecta.

17 - Field of Dreams
18 - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn ?
19 - Glen Garry, Glenn Ross ?

17 & 19 correct. I haven’t seen your #18, but I did have another movie in mind. It involves a large radio.

Your 15 could be Thinner or Needful Things? I’m not clear on either, though. I really thought of High Plains Drifter before the New England thing got in my way.

#20 A prisoner takes up ornithology
#21 Some good ole boys make a cross-country beer run
#22 A crop duster tries to return some money to its rightful owner

#21 Smokey and the Bandit

Yes.

Angel Heart

Yes!

The Bird-man of Alcatraz.

And #15 was Salem’s Lot. Although, now that I think about it, he just rented the house; he didn’t buy it.

Right on the birdman. And I didn’t see Salem’s Lot either.

Ok. Zeldar and I have been talking in private messages about this post. After reading the post I think what we said in private fits here well.

I took issue with “Bloody Valentine 3D” that the title was too simplistic. In short, it missed the OVERALL point of the movie. ((I say this all sight unseen))

I had fun assuming the paradigm on other better known titles.

Can the concept cross over to other things?

Yes. It is me in the video.

Glad you posted your YouTube thing, Meeko, and I have looked at a few of your others as well. Interesting. :slight_smile:

#23 Fan of Samurai traditions keeps pigeons on his roof - Ghost Dog!
