Sweet! Fast and furious.

Lyrhawn gets 3, not 8.

Nighthawk gets 7 and 8, not 5.

kojabu gets [10, not 1]. [oops!]

Keep 'em coming: this is no holds barred, slice and dice, Wild Wild West version. No guess limit for now, pardners.

Hints (aka things characters might have said/ the common theme)

1. "I can't believe we three guys are really doing this."

2. "I can't believe my grandmother actually did that."

4. "I can't believe she really expects me to do this."

5. "I can't believe we three gals are really doing this."

6. (doesn't fit well, but ...) "I can't believe they really did that to it 1000 years ago."

9. "I can't believe he's really seeing that."

The two left are the hardest. To recap and add a review quotation:

quote:
1. Elderly, Heist, Death of a Friend, Casino
Late 70s, Art Carney and George Burns, "I can't believe we three guys are really doing this."

It had the original and entertaining premise of three elderly men robbing a bank, not for the money, but for the the chance to escape their tedious routine. But armed robbery is no laughing matter ...

quote:
4. Hitman, Neo Noir, Psychiatrist, Female Nudity
Mid 90s, Mimi Rogers, "I can't believe she really expects me to do this."

Mick [Anthony Lapaglia] is assigned an unusual duty: Killing Fiona (Mimi Rogers), a femme fatale inflicted with a mysteriously incurable disease. Expectedly, as soon as Mick meets his enigmatic victim, who's willing to die, he falls for her. However, Mick is not a standard fall guy; his love for Fiona turns out to be a transformative redemptive act.

Lyrhawn gets 6, not 2. But great guess. Think more explicitly fantasy-related. It's a [modern] classic in more ways than one. [Smile]

No for Leonide on 4, but a good guess nonetheless.

No for Carrie on 5, but a yes for 8!

My last guess for the night:

1. Robin Hood! (Well, okay, to be specific, Prince of Thieves, though I think Men in Tights would be a better choice... [Wink]

)

vonk,
Is that the one with Steve Martin? I didn't think his character was gay.

No, the movie with Mandy Moore about the religious school. I guess the gay guy was a strong supporting actor, but it could be.

Edit: unless that was a joke, in which case it flew way over my head.

No, it wasn't. I was just confused about the movie. I guess I don't know the movie you are talking about.

It's one of my favorite movies of all times. There are so many great quotes in the movie.

"Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug!"

"Fat guy in a little coat."

:when the door falls of the car:
"What'd you do?!?!"

"Who's your favorite Little Rascal? Alfalfa or Spanky? Sinner."

"It doesn't hurt so much here or here, just here." :see huge bruise on face:

What a great movie.

Last I checked we were waiting for Leonide to do a round.

But if anyone wants to do one to tide us over, go for it.
