Here are a few hints. "Get 'touched' by an angel." Michael? "It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble." Who Framed Roger Rabbit "This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag." Bad Santa "The bride is back for the final cut." Kill Bill Vol. 2 "There are 3.7 trillion fish in the ocean*, they're looking for one." Finding Nemo "Before you die, you see ________." The Ring "Don't answer the phone. Don't open the door. Don't try to escape." Scream? "After a night they can't remember, comes a day they'll never forget." Dude Where's My Car " |

"Get 'touched' by an angel."
Michael?
Nope.
"This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag."
Bad Santa
No... I already had a Bad Santa tagline up there. I'm talking about another respected director.
"Don't answer the phone. Don't open the door. Don't try to escape."
Scream?
Yep. :-)
The other ones, you got right.
Here's another one for you guys to think about. This should be VERY easy.
"Work sucks."

These are mostly guesses. Note all of the question marks.
"Man Has Made His Match... Now It's His Problem."
This is actually the premise of the movie in a nutshell.
FRANKENSTEIN??
"It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble."
WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
"They had a date with fate in __________!"
FARGO?
"It's Terrific!"
The simple tagline suggests it's an older movie.
THE HUDSUCKER PROXY?
"Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this."
There's a hint of irony in this one.
KING KONG? GODZILLA?? JAWS?? AAAARRGH!!!
"They're the man."
STARSKY & HUTCH
"It's not who you love. It's how."
CHASING AMY?
"This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag."
ELF??
"He wanted it all... but he got more than he bargained for."
BRUCE ALMIGHTY??
While you're pondering those with the hints I gave you, here's a few more to start thinking about.
"The bride is back for the final cut."
KILL BILL VOL. 2
"There are 3.7 trillion fish in the ocean*, they're looking for one."
FINDING NEMO
"No mercy. No shame. No sequel."
SCARY MOVIE?
"Before you die, you see ________."
THE RING
"The hotline suspense comedy."
DR. STRANGELOVE
"After a night they can't remember, comes a day they'll never forget."
DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?
"Never give a saga an even break!"
BLAZING SADDLES
"The Earth's Darkest Day Will Be Man's Finest Hour."
INDEPENDENCE DAY? DEEP IMPACT? ARMAGEDDON? THE CORE?

It's a Sci-fi from the early 80's. "It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble." WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Yeah. "They had a date with fate in __________!" FARGO? No, it's a true American classic. Here's looking at it. "It's Terrific!" The simple tagline suggests it's an older movie. THE HUDSUCKER PROXY? You gotta go further back than that. Think early 40's. "Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this." There's a hint of irony in this one. KING KONG? GODZILLA?? JAWS?? AAAARRGH!!! I said irony, not pun. :-P "They're the man." STARSKY & HUTCH Correct. "It's not who you love. It's how." CHASING AMY? Yeah. "This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag." ELF?? No. "He wanted it all... but he got more than he bargained for." BRUCE ALMIGHTY?? No. Think more recent. As in the past couple months. While you're pondering those with the hints I gave you, here's a few more to start thinking about. "The bride is back for the final cut." KILL BILL VOL. 2 Correct. "There are 3.7 trillion fish in the ocean*, they're looking for one." FINDING NEMO Correct. "No mercy. No shame. No sequel." SCARY MOVIE? Yeah. "Before you die, you see ________." THE RING Yeah. "The hotline suspense comedy." DR. STRANGELOVE Yep. "After a night they can't remember, comes a day they'll never forget." DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? Precisely. "Never give a saga an even break!" BLAZING SADDLES Yeah. "The Earth's Darkest Day Will Be Man's Finest Hour." INDEPENDENCE DAY? DEEP IMPACT? ARMAGEDDON? THE CORE? It's one of those. I'm not saying which, but of the four, it's the one that's on my top 100. :-) |

"Get 'touched' by an angel." Note the quotations around "touched". It is actually a metaphor. "Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this." There's a hint of irony in this one. It's an 80's cult classic. "This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag." It was released during the holiday season, and for the director, it was something new. The director has good taste in music. "The Legend Comes to Life." A legend that took three books to tell. "More entertaining than humanly possible." It has an odd connection with rainbows.  "Prepare to be blown out of the water." Savvy? " See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The _____________." Come on, this one's easy! "What's slower than a speeding bullet, and able to hit tall buildings at a single bound?" Surely if you answer the riddle, you get the title of the movie. "Who are they? And what do they want?" OBEY. "Movie? What movie?". Come on, this one ain't that hard. "Because someone is dead doesn't mean they're gone." A very recent thriller. It was released on DVD a couple weeks ago. "Murder. Blackmail. Temptation. Redemption. It's been a busy week." Everyone thinks this movie's bad, yet nobody has seen it. |

"Get 'touched' by an angel."
Note the quotations around "touched". It is actually a metaphor. It stirred up some major controversy.
"Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this."
There's a hint of irony in this one. It's an 80's cult classic. It's a fantasy flick.
"This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag."
It was released during the holiday season, and for the director, it was something new. The director has good taste in music. He has a huge fanbase because his screenplays are always fresh.
"More entertaining than humanly possible." It has an odd connection with rainbows. Wakka wakka wakka.
"Prepare to be blown out of the water." Savvy? It's one of the two you responded with. Savvy?
" See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The _____________." Come on, this one's easy! Always look on the bright side of life.
"What's slower than a speeding bullet, and able to hit tall buildings at a single bound?" Surely if you answer the riddle, you get the title of the movie. Surely you must know the answer to this one by now.
"Who are they? And what do they want?" OBEY. NO FREE THOUGHT.
"Movie? What movie?". Come on, this one ain't that hard. Do you know a little German?
"Because someone is dead doesn't mean they're gone." A very recent thriller. It was released on DVD a couple weeks ago. Are you scared? You should be.
"Murder. Blackmail. Temptation. Redemption. It's been a busy week." Everyone thinks this movie's bad, yet nobody has seen it. Turkey time. Gobble, gobble.

Okay, got a couple more, I think:
"More entertaining than humanly possible." It has an odd connection with rainbows. Wakka wakka wakka.
THE MUPPET MOVIE
"Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this."
There's a hint of irony in this one. It's an 80's cult classic.
TIME BANDITS??
"Prepare to be blown out of the water." Savvy? It's one of the two you responded with. Savvy?
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN
" See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The _____________." Come on, this one's easy! Always look on the bright side of life.
LIFE OF BRIAN??
"Murder. Blackmail. Temptation. Redemption. It's been a busy week." Everyone thinks this movie's bad, yet nobody has seen it. Turkey time. Gobble, gobble.

Most of them were right except...
"Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this."
It's an ironic tagline. Considering its use of the word "bigger" is the irony of the tagline, you can assume the subject of the movie is rather small. I'm thinking a certain character that the movie is named after.
"Get 'touched' by an angel."
Note the quotations around "touched". It is actually a metaphor. It stirred up some major controversy... A couple years ago, Catholics protested the movie, even though it was written by a practicing Catholic.
"This Christmas, Santa's Got a Brand New Bag."
It was released during the holiday season, and for the director, it was something new. The director has good taste in music. He has a huge fanbase because his screenplays are always fresh. It's based on a book by the writer of Get Shorty.
"What's slower than a speeding bullet, and able to hit tall buildings at a single bound?" Surely if you answer the riddle, you get the title of the movie. Surely you must know the answer to this one by now. Surely there must be something you can do...
"Who are they? And what do they want?" OBEY. NO FREE THOUGHT. CONFORM.
"Movie? What movie?". Come on, this one ain't that hard. Do you know a little German? I mean, it all just sounds like a really bad movie... *looks at screen*
"Because someone is dead doesn't mean they're gone." A very recent thriller. It was released on DVD a couple weeks ago. Are you scared? You should be. You can't trust somebody when they think you're crazy.

"Five Total Strangers Team Up For the Perfect Crime. They Don't Know Each Other's Name. But They've Got Each Other's Number."
"History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell."
"An adventure as big as life itself."
"The scariest comedy of all time!"
"See it early. Avoid the mob."
"Women cry for it - Men die for it!"
"The legend had it coming..."

"The forces of good! The forces of evil!"
"A little something to offend everyone..."
"You've read the ad, now see the movie!"

I can feel we're going to be real tagline professionals after this! ;D
You were right about Royal Tenenbaums, Heineken: not a perfect movie but I like its tag a lot.
As for some of the others:
Great trilogies come in threes: Scary Movie 3?
The scariest comedy of all time!: Young Frankenstein?
You've read the ad, now see the movie!: Naked Gun?
He came back to settle the score with someone. Anyone. EVERYONE: Desperado?
A singing plant. A daring hero. A sweet girl. A demented dentist: Little Shop Of Horrors?
He doesn't play golf... he destroys it: Happy Gilmore!
Remember the future: Minority Report!
See it early. Avoid the mob: Jane Austen's Mafia!
All for now, I'm afraid. But I'm still thinking.
