MOVIE MEME
From WritersBlock of Pereiraville:
Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at IMDb. In the overview at the top of each movie’s page, there are "Plot Keywords," usually five of them. (Plus more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then the rest of us get to play movie buff and see if we can guess them.

Good luck. Especially on 2, 5, 6, & 10. I promise they're not obscure.
Answers in a couple days.
Recommended tagging quota is 10. I'm only tagging Susie of Practical Penumbra, since she works at a theater. That should count extra, doncha think?
9 - what's that Reese film? Um... Pleasantville?
The only one I can even come close to
Is #9 The Wizard of Oz?
The rest I can't even begin to guess... heh.
1 - Princess Bride? not sure about the chocolate tag
No, yes, yes - the pill to revive Westly - Miracle Max dipped it in chocolate.
2 - Jaws
Those "keywords" are preposterous!
Sigh...tagged again. I gotta learn to run faster. The hard part is going to be narrowing it down to only ten favorite movies...
Ping!
#7 - Highlander. Good pick.
#2 Is probably "An Inconvenient Truth" - since I would only see it if I had a lid on-hand, but would think twice at the possibility of seeing Gore's man-breasts while tripping. That would make "disturbing" an understatement. That leaves... Oh dear God - that last "boy eaten" clue. Is it a Michael Moore film??
Er... Pic. Or flick. Uh, nevermind.
Ok I give up, what are the answers already?
