IMDB Meme

Tim tagged me over at The Lapped Catholic. This one looks like a fun one. Here is the procedure:

Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your favourite movies.
- Post five (5) official IMDB “Plot Keywords” for these 10 picks.
- Have your friends guess the movie titles.
- Then tag three people

I just used the five tags on the main pages - some are obvious others leave you scratching your head. Can you guess?

1. Irish American / Pepsi / Fall From Tree / 1980s / Self Worth
2. No Opening Credits / Space Shuttle / Galactic War / Smuggler / War
3. Disturbing / Color Tints / Historic / Hiding Under Bed / Murder
4. Car Accident / U Boat / Zombie / Good Versus Evil / Mummy
5. Alcoholism / Train Station / American Abroad / Bar / Exile
6. War / Tommy Gun / Halftrack / Critically Acclaimed / U.S. Army
7. Psychic Power / Stylized / Psychological Thriller / Psychology / Affection
8. Peril / Ancient Sword / Hardship / Stylized / Hungry
9. Pursuit / Gore / Mind Game / Androgyny / Maniac
10. Warrior / Famous Score / Death During Filming / Historical / Battle Scene

And I tag…

Dale at Dyspeptic Mutterings
Joel at On the Other Foot

Hmmm, these are hard. I’m wondering if I’ve seen any of them. But I’ll try.

1)Rudy
2)Star Wars
3)Schindler’s List
4)The Mummy
5)The Third Man
6)The Big Red One
7)The Sixth Sense
8)Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
9)The Crying Game
10)Apocalypse Now

Most of these I consider wild guesses because there is at least one keyword in each that doesn’t really jibe with what I know about the movie I’m guessing. Or I’ve never seen the movie and I’m going only on what I know from the trailer. Still this is a fun meme.

From a quick look at IMDB it looks like I only got two right! I’m not saying which ones though. I think I’m at the age where I’ve seen so many movies my brain just doesn’t bother remembering any of the details anymore. :]

Not bad Tim 3 out of 10. What I want to know is how the number 1 tag for Casablanca is “Alcoholism”

Here is what I had:
1. Back to the Future
2. Star Wars
3. Schindler’s list
4. Indiana Jones: Raiders
5. Casablanca
6. Saving Private Ryan
7. Sixth Sense
8. Lord of The Rings
9. Silence of the Lambs
10. Gladiator

I think you can get a flavor for my interests (4 are set in WWII timeframe).

Ummm… I couldn’t even guess ANY of your movies. I looked at the list and my mind was just BLANK!

But then, I have this same problem when I look at the blinking cursor on the empty text box when I go to post a blog entry.
