Movie Quiz 5

Mr. Surf and Turf, Ryan and Craig crushed the (nonexistent) competition again with their answers to last week's movie quiz! Here be answers:

1. Young Frankenstein
2. Rent
3. Pee Wee's Big Adventure
4. Die Hard
5. O Brother Where Art Thou?
6. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
7. All of Me
8. Better Off Dead
9. Soul Man
10. This Is Spinal Tap. (major props to Mr. Surf and Turf for labeling this one "11" in his answers - it snuck right by me in all it's brilliant subtlety.)

For this week:

1. All his life, people have told (him) he's not good enough, not smart enough, not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame.

2. Join the fun as Mayflower Kennel Club competitors - a fly-fishing shop owner from Pine Nut, NC, Shih Tzu doting partners, squabbling yuppies, a trophy wife and her ace handler and a married couple who dream up ditties about terriers - vie for the top prize.

3. Rich girl Pammy is the sheltered daughter of a prominent politician. Wild child Nicky is a tough runaway. Together, the two teens escape from a psychiatric hospital and with the help of radio DJ Johnny LaGuardia, become punk rock heroes on the streets of New York City. But just as their outrageous new life begins to come together, they find that society wants to tear them apart. Can a sisterhood that runs soul deep survive the cold heart of the city?

4. (Main character) unknowingly works as cook - (yes, it actually says that on the DVD case) - for the Mob and is duped into making deliveries of "Chinese Flour" - which is really cocaine - all across the U.S. It's a non-stop, rollicking romp when (main character) is pursued by a wild and crazy assortment of characters - Texas sheriffs, Vegas hookers, rival mobsters, Kung Fu Krishnas, street punks, Urban cowboys and a host of other wacky, weird people interested in "flour." When (main character) and his sidekick Freddy meet up with the Boss of Booses - this time, with real flour! - they're off on a chase that you have to see to believe! Jaysus. That was so bad it was painful to type.

5. Thornton Melon's son is a college misfit, so Thornton's lending some fatherly support...by enrolling as a fellow freshman!

6. Brewster Baker is a stock car driver chasing a comeback until a gang of expert thieves steals his new engine. But these are no ordinary car strippers: Brewster's been boosted by a teenage orphan and her five car-crazy young brothers. The kids are on the run from a crooked Texas sheriff. Brewster needs a top team of fast mechanics. From small Southern speedways to the NASCAR Grand Nationals, can the most unlikely pit crew in racing history take Baker all the way to the checkered flag?

7. Seventeen-year-old Jones is an aspiring writer who shelves plans for college and rents a room in a boarding house, where the quirky tenants teach him a lot more than any classroom ever could. Between bouts of longing for his mother's love and his father's address, he fantasizes about enhancing his romantic prospects. First, he buys a bed from the the oversexed Ma Mabley, who offers to help him break it in. Before long, he becomes involved with struggling actress Lisa. However, it's the enigmatic Jane, a photographer, and a few years older than he, who really gets his pulse racing. When Jane has a car accident and her ex-boyfriend shows up on his motorcycle, things get complicated. Jones enlists the aid of Brad, his wacky downstairs neighbor, and they concoct a scheme that could get him what he wants...and a lot more!

8. Leon Phelps, a sweet-natured, inexplicably irresistible love expert tries to solve the world's romantic problems with hilarious results!

9. Bob Harris and Charlotte are two Americans in Tokyo. Bob is a movie star in town to shoot a whiskey commercial, while Charlotte is a young woman tagging along with her workaholic photographer husband. Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in the luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens, and ultimately discover a new belief in life's possibilites.

10. Funny, irresistible and heartwarming, an all-star cast will take you on a breathtaking tour of love's delightful twists and turns.

And there you have it. A few weirdos in there, let's go for 6 out of 10 this week for the iTune!

8 out of 10, including #4 and #7! Of course, they're my movies, so I should get them. And both rock!

(#4 is awesomely bad and #7 is just awesome.)

This was much harder than previous weeks. At least to me.
