IMDB Game Answers!
So, some people guessed some movies, but mostly people didn’t guess stuff, either because a) no one reads my blog, b) my movies are all weird and old, or c) I mostly picked keywords I thought were hilarious in juxtaposition as opposed to ones that I thought would be easy to guess.
Or all of the above.
I did make some effort to leave off stuff I doubted people had seen — not because I don’t think you guys are all cultured, but just because no one has seen Celine and Julie Go Boating. I actually steered clear of stuff I thought really no one would get, like the Fassbinder, the Samuel Fuller (though I would encourage anyone who hasn’t seen it to rent Shock Corridor and have your minds blown) and the Rivette.
- Tennis / Masturbation Reference / Health Food – Annie Hall guessed by Julian
- Flapper / Cake / Motorcycle Falling Off Cliff – Singin’ In The Rain
- Mistaken Identity / Native American / Cannibalism – Dead Man, which I think Alex actually guessed in conversation
- Blues Music / Age Difference / Art Exhibition – Ghost World, which I thought would be easy, but I guess there is no love for blue-haired Thora Birch
- Swimming Pool / High Society / Scandal – The Philadelphia Story guessed by Rach
- Deer / Widow / Country Club – All That Heaven Allows, which Alex I think also guessed
- Private Detective / Drugged Drink / Treasure Hunt – The Maltese Falcon
- Makeover / Cemetery / Animated Sequence – Vertigo, which, I don’t blame you guys, I couldn’t remember what this was supposed to be
- Bandaged Nose / Impersonation / Water Rights – Chinatown guessed by Julian
- Kept Man / Ghost Writer / Chimpanzee – Sunset Blvd.
Most of these are kind of classics; I am sort of into like, good-bad movies lately. Speaking of which, someone made a remake of Sisters only they named one of the characters Dr. Lacan. Come on!

I was going to guess Funny Face for #4, but the music there was more jazz than blues, and Audrey’s little dance scene wasn’t really an “art exhibition” in the strictest sense, so I held my tongue.
If it makes you feel any better, no one was able to guess my #10 – Love Actually. And like, that movie is entrenched IN MY SOUL, so like, do any of my friends KNOW ME? Eesh.

Yeah. I do love Funny Face though, creepy as it is.
Oh, Love Actually! That mkes SO much sense.
