Okay, the 3rd guess ought to get it, huh? P2 = Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. :smack: I went straight from the Knight’s Templar thread to this one and had “Temple” on the brain. HF\_7 & 8 have been correctly guessed, so that leaves: HF\_10: “Everything I needed to know about The Flying Elvises, I learned from Nicolas Cage.” New ones: HF\_11: “Everything I needed to know about cross-dressing, I learned from Robin Williams.” HF\_12: “Everything I needed to know about wearing fuzzy pink bunny slippers, I learned from Harvy Fierstein.” ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Sublight_ > ED1: All I know about children’s books I learned from Alan Rickman > Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (?) > If not that, then Hjælp, jeg er en fisk Neither are correct. Although the Harry Potter angle (never read em or seen the movies) is a great angle, I’m thinking of a movie that involves **much** more grown up fare than the clue implies. I think I know a bunch of these new ones: CP10: Everything I needed to know about phone sex calling I learned from Jennifer Jason Leigh **Short Cuts** HF\_8: “Everything I needed to know about avoiding a fight, I learned from Casey Siemaszko.” (I hope someone has seen this movie besides me.) _Already been answered…just chiming in with “Saw it too and loved it!”_ HF\_10: “Everything I needed to know about The Flying Elvises, I learned from Nicolas Cage.” **Honeymoon in Vegas** HF\_11: “Everything I needed to know about cross-dressing, I learned from Robin Williams.” **Mrs. Doubtfire** HF\_12: “Everything I needed to know about wearing fuzzy pink bunny slippers, I learned from Harvy Fierstein.” **Independence Day?** ---

Oooh…can I try? WaM\_1: Everything I needed to know about suicide I learned from Bud Cort. WaM\_2: Everything I needed to know about Chicago I learned from John Belushi. (this one is easy) WaM\_3: Everything I needed to know about the onset of female puberty I learned from Heather Matarazzo. WaM\_4: Everything I needed to know about Viper booze I learned from Mike Lackey. (this one is very obscure…I’ll be interested to see if anyone gets it) WaM\_5: Everything I needed to know about destroying planets I learned from Brian Narelle. (also very obscure…made by a big name director before he was a big name director…actually this is his final work as a student at his university) ---

WaM\_2 = The Blues Brothers WaM\_5 = Dark Star (I even have an original VHS tape of this! Found in a bargain bin!) **Ellis Dee** got HF\_10 & 11 right, but no on HF\_12. Please try again. (Hint: it’s kind of related to the Robin Williams/cross-dressing clue.) I’m glad to see there are some people who have actually seen one of my favorite movies (Three O’Clock High; give it a shot, you’ll like it). ---

Hrmmm, I need some more clues out there. HF\_13: “Everything I needed to know about mechanical hands, I learned from Michael Ironside.” HF\_14: “Everything I needed to know about, ummm, cybernetic penises, I learned from Dennis Hopper.” (Hope you’ve been watching your B movies like you should.) ---

HF\_13: Starship Troopers HF\_14: Space Truckers? I’m impressed you got Dark Star though…very good! Incredibly cheesy movie but some excellent dialogue. Their attempts to engage a smart bomb in a philosophical discussion to keep it from detonating is classic (not to mention the space alien that was a beach ball)! ---

In the mood to come up with some more clues: LSD10: All I know about the Hamptons I learned from Dominique Swain LSD11: All I know about house arrest I learned from Robin Tunney LSD12: All I know about “what comes next” I learned from Alicia Witt LSD13: All I know about groupies I learned from Dominique Swain (I’ve been on a redhead kick lately.) LSD14: All I know about hot wax I learned from Bijou Phillips LSD15: All I know about acid trips I learned from Alan Alda LSD16: All I know about rendering fat I learned from Brad Pitt * * * HF\_14: “Everything I needed to know about, ummm, cybernetic penises, I learned from Dennis Hopper.” (Hope you’ve been watching your B movies like you should.) **Space Truckers**? Well, I see on preview I was beaten to HF\_14, but dammit, I’m proud I guessed it “first”. hehheh. ---

I’m starting to worry about ED1, so let me alter the clue, and give an additional one: ED1: All I know about children’s books I learned from Madeleine Stowe ED1a: All I know about communism I learned from Alan Rickman I so hope somebody gets this, only because I dig this movie so much I want others to see it. (I’m a sick puppy.) ---

Very good on Space Truckers, **Whack-a-Mole**. I think that was a straight-to-video release. You are also correct on HF\_13 of course. But now I must add more… HF\_15: “Everything I needed to know about rat monkeys, I learned from Peter Jackson.” HF\_16: “Everything I needed to know about lounge singing, I learned from Michelle Pfeiffer.” ---

HF\_16: “Everything I needed to know about lounge singing, I learned from Michelle Pfeiffer.” **Tequila Sunrise** Oh, sure. Whack-A-Mole gets the credit. Glory hound.
