Movie meme, from numerous people

[dianec42]

Go to IMDB and pick 10 of your favourite films. Pick 3 plot keywords from each and see if people can guess what they are.

(Note: These are all movies, no TV shows here. My taste in television is abysmal. These are also not necessarily my 10 most absolute favorite movies ever, but 10 of my favorites. Hopefully they're not all screamingly obvious.)

Here are mine, in no particular order. Good luck!

1) Ancient Greece, ship wreck, microwave oven
2) Animal abuse, unsubtitled foreign language, run over by a steamroller
3) Cryptography, Scrabble, toy factory
4) Flatulence, bowling, invisibility
5) Giant rat, fencing, true love
6) Interdimensional travel, rock band, New Jersey
7) Male frontal nudity, Latin grammar, spacecraft accident
8) Male nudity, redemption, altering history
9) Owl, flying car, evil robot
10) Smuggler, princess, severed hand

Okay, I tried this in someone else's journal and didn't get many correct. Let's try again!

10 Star Wars

2, 4, 5, 6 - Yes.
10 - Very close.

#10 would more likely be "The Empire Strikes Back."

#7 has to be "Monty Python's Life of Brian."

I take it you're not unfond of male nudity?

[dianec42.livejournal.com]

Yep!

Before I pruned the list, "flatulence" was actually one of the more common themes.

Most of those are correct.

3 and 8 are nowhere near.

8) Terminator 2?

[dianec42.livejournal.com]

Yep!

Can't believe no-one else remembers #3. At least one of the people on my friends list went to see it with me! We got out the Scrabble letters afterwards to see if we could recreate the scene from the movie.
