*WARNING*- SPOILER!

They end the movie taking out the sniper and matching down the road singing the Mickey Mouse song.

Would this be Full Metal Jacket? I remember the sniper but not the Mickey Mouse song.

The client scores, they surive and prospects realize the value of “fewer clients, more personal attention.”

Jerry Maguire

No-one got this yet?? It’s an old black and white film and involves some people trying to cross a desert.

I still haven’t seen a reply to this. If you want a hint, think “beat 'em and burn 'em”.

Cecil Adams is the world’s smartest man.

Great thread!

Blair Witch
That really really really awful movie I saw just because I think Ethan Embry is cute.

It was a train station, and it’s Can’t Hardly Wait.

Right sport, wrong year, though you’re close.

Hint: the assistant coach is played by the same guy as the one whose son and wife greet him at the end of Armageddon.

The serial killer turned consultant escaped from jail and is vacationing in the Bahamas.

The child of Bhaal put Jon Irenicus, the Elf Queen’s ex-husband, into Hell, while a group of hooded people on a table think that the Child is getting too strong.

The demon was defeated in the Ten Towns temple of Tempus. He was also narrator of the story, and vowed revenge.

OK, I added some video games here.

Rose of Sharon gave birth to a corpse and nursed a dying man in…

THE GRAPES OF WRATH!

(When we read that book in school, everyone came in with a disgusted look on their face the last day. When the teacher tried to discribe the symbolism etc, no one wanted any part of it, and just said ewwwwww!)

Something about this reeks of “The Silence of the Lambs”.

My own challenge:

  1. He’s an engineering major who goes to work in a British school.

  2. Too Many Secrets.

  3. He goes off to California to be with his former girlfriend, screwing over the professor and to the delight of Sean.

  4. She gives the money to help a male friend out of a jam with the police before a concert.

Too Many Secrets.
Sneakers

*He goes off to California to be with his former girlfriend, screwing over the professor and to the delight of Sean. *
Good Will Hunting

I know this one! Sneakers, with Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, and a bunch of others. It’s about a microchip that can crack any code in existence. The Russians want it, and they try to get it from Redford. Not a bad movie :slight_smile:

Robin

“The demon was defeated in the Ten Towns temple of Tempus. He was also narrator of the story, and vowed revenge.”
Passage to Dawn (?), by R. A. Salvatore

Here’s another old movie…
Harry Lime is still alive! HE’S the third man.

The Comic Book Guy loses his virginity to Agnes Skinner (and I’m still laughing!).

John Goodman sets the Hotel on fire.

Frances McDormand shoots M. Emmet Walsh.

Harold drives his hearse off a cliff, but he’s not in it.

The feral women kill and eat Sardu.

Many welcomes, Albert! A man (I presume?) with tastes as eclectic as my own. And you’re right—who could forget the Weinie King?

Among the references I caught in your spoilers are “The House of Mirth,” “White Mischief,” “Great Expectations,” “Made for Each Other,” “Meet John Doe,” “Ball of Fire,” “Quantum Leap,” Bugs and Popeye . . . and possibly “Bringing Up Baby” (George gets his comeuppance?).

Ugh. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Okay, some computer game spoilers:

  1. Our young hero discovers that the murderer of his teacher is his half-brother and that he himself is the child of a god.

  2. The hero succeeds in killing the devil, but in the process becomes possessed.

  3. The devil is killed again, but his brother escapes.
    Book spoilers:

  4. He gets rid of the desk, survives the accident, and lives happily ever after whilst selling himself online.

  5. The brave yound Herald sacrifices himself to defeat the evil Karsites. (Okay, this could be any number of books, but still…)

  6. They rescue the children, Edward survives, the probable serial killer gets away, she still can’t choose between the vampire and the werewolf.

**She goes into the picture followed by her husband…
He goes on a shooting spree…
The airplane crashes into the Network building…
He kills a lot of vampires. A LOT. Unfortunately he kills some pseudo-vampires too, and they kill him.
The feral women kill and eat Sardu. **

Rose Madder
Apt Pupil?
Running Man
I Am Legend (a personal favorite)
Bloodsucking Freaks

That would be the absolutely fantastic “Blood Simple”.

Speaking of which…

… one kidnapper is turned into wood chipper tartare by his partner, who is then apprehended by Marge Gunderson (who, in a nice touch unheard of in the movies, has not had a screaming childbirth scene by the time the credits roll).

… the laws of physics are miraculously suspended, and Tim Robbins lives to see another day.
