ehm, let's see:

1) Donnie Darko?
6) The secretary, you know, the one with James Spader and the Gyllenhaal sister?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

You've got 1) right! 6) is wrong though, although it could have been that one since a) I love that movie too and b) the keywords indeed apply. It's kinda weird, because it's a completely different movie, heh.

[zikade.livejournal.com]

oh, do you mean there are more movies with spanking involved!? :-)
Now I am really curious about movie 6.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

There wasn't all that much spanking in it, but now that I read those keywords I see how it will be difficult to guess the movie. Another hint would be 'Boarding School'. I'm going to replace 'spanking' for that.

[zikade.livejournal.com]

ah, you mean like the movie Dead Poets Society!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[loreley-se.livejournal.com]

I do wonder what Freud what make of your list!!!! Should I be worried????

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Uhm, I didn't think so, but now you have me reading back the list, and I'm beginning to wonder myself...

7 - Hard Core Logo
10 - Mosquito Coast

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahah!! I was inclined to put your name up there, even before you'd commented. Yeah, you've got 7) right :D

And 10) too. And now I remember you mentioning River Phoenix. I love that movie, because River is amazing in it, and I always bring it up when people say Harrison can't act (I've got the feeling Peter Weir can inspire the best out of every actor, but still, it has to be there!). Plus I had such a crush on Mr. Haddy.

[grievous-angel.livejournal.com]

Well I was tempted to add a 'd'uh!' after HCL. But then it's probably only obvious to you 'n' me!

And oh yes, beloved, beloved River. And I agree with you completely about Peter Weir - he does seem to get the best out of his actors. And Harrison was damn good in it.

Is #4 Purple Rose of Cairo?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's it! I'm so glad someone recognized that one, as it's one of my all time favorites, but doesn't get mentioned a lot (at least, not that I'm aware of).

[sterlingirl.livejournal.com]

#3 - Benny & Joon?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Nope.

I had to look that one up: looks interesting!

[trianne.livejournal.com]

Is 8 Jaws?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Yessss! *high fives*

[trianne.livejournal.com]

hee hee, love that film more than is probably healthy, ha ha :)

[samena.livejournal.com]

Is #2 'The Fisher King'?
And #9 could be 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'?

I really wonder what #3 and #5 are! :D

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Hey, hi!! Oh good, someone finally got 'The Fisher King'; I obviously haven't bugged my friendslist quite enough about my love for that particular movie ;)

9) Isn't the movie you mention, but it could have been: the keywords apply, and I love the movie. But it's another one I'm getting at here. Hint; you (used to) have a thing for one of the main actors.

[samena.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I seemed to remember you liked 'The Fisher King.' ;)

you (used to) have a thing for one of the main actors.

Oh God, that could be a number of guys! Ack! I'll probably hit my forehead when I find out what it is. I keep mulling over the desert bit. It's not 'Raising Arizona,' is it? I do like Nicolas Cage... Any more hints? ;D
