Hey, don’t give away your answers! hehheh. As Good As It Gets was mostly a WAG; I thought maybe the sandwich was his OCD meal at Helen Hunt’s Diner. A guess: IT3: Everything I needed to know about psychiatry, I learned from Steve Martin **Grand Canyon** ---

Let’s have props for **Ellis Dee**!! I know I haven’t been around here lately, but I’m glad to see that somebody is taking care of my baby! Once we get to four pages, I’ll start a new one. I\_L\_14 “Everything I needed to know about pudding, I learned from Adam Sandler” ---

Both correct, Evil Death. I have a guess: I\_L\_14 “Everything I needed to know about pudding, I learned from Adam Sandler” **Billy Madison** Ilsa, you should start the new threads with the unanswered clues from the previous ones. (Though believe me I know what a pain in the ass cleanup is.) Now it’s way past time to peel myself out of this chair and go explore the outside world. ---

P1 = Indiana Jones and Da Temple O’ Doom P2 = Finding Nemo P3 = The Spy Who Loved Me? **TeaElle** is correct on HF\_9, so one more: HF\_10: “Everything I needed to know about The Flying Elvises, I learned from Nicolas Cage.” ---
