Thanks soccer_ref on the "narnia" comment, that was my mistake

[8] thanks. That's all I needed.
also, thanks to [7]. I spelled it with a W, not a U. (and that is only salt if you already know the answer!)
[13] not an Asian Empress

Any salt on #2 and #11?
QurqirishDragon
Posted on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:22 PM |
[17] #2: Look in Thailand.
#11: I'm really tired.
(note: salt is for the pre-pun answer)

#11 is a Bogie flick.
#2 You need to know the hero name of the ever-lovin' orange guy.

Tons of fun! Thanks for several hearty laughs!
QurqirishDragon
Posted on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:42 PM |
[23] for #10, see my [16]
for #9, think of where my lost kite went.
[24] The gorilla would prefer to be on the empire state building.
again, all salt is for the pre-pun answer.
racheal0101
Posted on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:49 PM |
[26] Thanks for that but I knew the movie just can't figure out the answer

who are the people in #10?
QurqirishDragon
Posted on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:52 PM |
[27] Oh- for #9 the pun is on the first word, for #10 on the last.
I don't know the people in #10, I just recognized the picture from other puzzles that used it. Sorry I can't help there.

[30] It was a musical and in the original the male lead was royalty and she referred to herself in first petson

#4 or #7
I don't know which is wrong so any salt on either?
snork
Posted on Fri Aug 01, 2008 09:06 PM |
That was really, really fun. Thanks Ookpik! The fact that I got almost all of them without having to look anything up is probably more a testament to my acquired years rather than to any acquired knowledge, unfortunately.

This must have been a lot of work! The (gr)apes are awesome.
What a puzzle should be ... this belongs in the THCHOF ... if there were such a thing.

I agree with all the kudos. I couldn't Feature this fast enough. Yeah, sure, some of those old movies might be tough for some, but, man, almost every clue is FUN! And fun LOOKING, too.

I really enjoyed this one...even if I had to look up almost all of them...but...I am completely stumped on #5...I know who he is, but am not getting anything from that...any help available?

[45] this is based on a very thick book written by Leo.

[39] I'm in the same boat - I know the movies, just can't seem to convert them for the puzzle.
[46] Isn't that #4?
Cupelix
Posted on Sat Aug 02, 2008 07:30 AM |
I'm stumped on number 4 - I have an answer that fits, but I think my onomatopoeia doesn't seem to be spelled right to fit. It's either that, or me being frustrated by multiple answers which fit for #6 (that one really needs a crossing word on the first or fourth letter!)

[49] Think of what Dolly's wardrobe is made of or what happens if you get swindled out of some money.

Ookpik - You have a sick and demented mind... And I'm very glad to have partaken of the fruits of said demented labors! It wasn't until #9 that I *really* groaned but hey, the beauty of a pun is in the OY of the beholder...

Glad that most people seem to have enjoyed this! It was really fun to make, too!
Ookpik

#5 is probably the only film in there that isn't really a "classic" but it is actually the first one that popped into my head when I came up with the idea for the puzzle. Google "Al Gore movie" if you are truly stuck.

Ookpik must like Bruce Willis and Humphrey Bogart - they have two movies in the puzzle.
