Ghost

I'm certain you've seen mine. Everybody has. :D

This is getting crazy! Mine was not A Fish Called Wanda. I don't think Susie's third one is Ghost. . .oh, Always! My husband LOVES Holly Hunter and wanted to name our daughter Drinda, after her character in the movie. That's not even a word. I don't know what Jason's first one is, but it sounds Coen Brothers-ish. The last one is Silence of the Lambs.

SusieGoodness said...

Okay, Amy, Splash??

And you are right, the third one is Always. I love that movie too :D

This one still has no answer:


Practical joker takes new kid to boarding school under his wing while they and their friends foil a teacher's devious plot to use their school project for a nefarious purpose.

As a hint.. these guys love popcorn!

SusieGoodness said...

*A group of ordinary New Yorkers are terrorized by gang members hired by a ruthless developer who wants to buy their apartment building. They miraculously emerge from the ordeal in better condition than they started.

This is the one from the other post too.

Jason said...

Is the popcorn one "Real Genius"? It's been forever since I've seen that one.

A mother's love is turned to rage when space marines invade her adopted home and murder all of her children.

SusieGoodness said...

Jason - Yes! I love that movie.

Mine is not Splash.

And I'll solve the puzzle on this one from Jason...
"An ex-con and his brother hatch a scheme to earn money to pay off the back taxes on the orphanage that raised them. On the way, they have a religious experience and run afoul of the law."

This is Blues Brothers, yes?

SusieGoodness said...

Mine was *Batteries Not Included.

Jessica said...

Of course!

Jason said...

Blues Brothers is correct.

The mother's love turns to rage one is...Aliens.

Jason said...

Amy's one could be X-men.
