The Princess Bride on #4.

You didn't, in fact, use all plot keywords, but only the front page summary. The full set of plot keywords is found here and is rather longer (and would have made it rather more obvious still).

[jokergirl.livejournal.com]

I thought The Princess Bride too, but wouldn't that be Eel Infested Waters?

;)

[petter-haggholm.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that's it—alas, I am no authority on the movie. It sounded a bit off to me, which was why I went to IMDB, verified my guess, and found out about the lengthy keyword lists…

I'm not saying shark infested is right, but it is listed on IMDB.

[kokopellinelli]

It certainly should be, but it wasn't. Those silly IMDB people.

[kokopellinelli]

Yep, Princess Bride for #4 (then again, you already knew that, so I guess I didn't have to verify it for you).

[petter-haggholm.livejournal.com]

I don't normally participate in this (particular) kind of silliness, but oh well, I'm trying to avoid doing work… Because I'm more of a bastard than you are, I will pick only three keywords, though I'll pick from the highlights rather than the full list. That'd make it too hard (because I'd pick the most misleading ones, being—as previously mentioned—a bastard, metaphorically speaking). Good luck; you may need it.

1. Shower Scene, Hatred, Male Frontal Nudity (…Wow, that sounds…)


2. No Opening Credits, Dysfunctional Family, Greed


3. Compassion, Coming Of Age, Poignant


4. Fish Out Of Water, Alternative History, Profanity


5. Gore, Androgyny, Prison

[equreuil.livejournal.com]

1 = American History X ?

[petter-haggholm.livejournal.com]

Pretty good. Hatred was a give-away (in combination with the Shower Scene), I presume?—But I had to do away with the racial one; it was too obvious.

More?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I got it! #5 is "An Inconvenient Truth". Al Gore is really a woman, and his lecture on climate change and damage to the Earth is really just a metaphor for him being imprisoned in his manly disguise that the political climate has forced upon him!

Man, that was the best movie ever.

[equreuil.livejournal.com]

I've got nothing for the other two.

[petter-haggholm.livejournal.com]

Did you miss two, or did you actually mean the other four?

[equreuil.livejournal.com]

my brain has completely melted and for some reason I only saw three things. But yeah, I meant all the rest of them.

[kokopellinelli]

Nothing is springing to mind for these...I'LL GET IT, OKAY, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.

[luke2.livejournal.com]

Yeah okay, I suck at this game because nothing is coming mind. I even thought I might have a guess for #4 until I got to Shark Infested Waters. How does that go with Sword and Magic, unless it's not actually sharks but you know metaphorically speaking. Hmm ... Macbeth?

[kokopellinelli]

Nope. :) Princess Bride. As stated in above comments, it should have been eel-infested waters, but for some reason it wasn't.

Some of these I don't expect anyone to get. Thanks for playing! Try again!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

1. Star Wars Episode All - Fathers die. Qui-Gon gets impaled. Palpatine starts a conspiracy. Obi-Wan and Anakin have a teacher-student relationship. Vader crushes lots of larynxes to death.

2. Catwoman - There are cats. Someone might have read a book during the movie. But mostly I took a torch and burned out my eyes so I couldn't see the opening credits. I hope the producers went to prison.

3. Highlander - Connor Macleod owns a library. He probably had a grandmother. He and the other immortals "come of age", in a sense. There's some flashbacks which are dreamy. Soundtrack by Queen.

4. Eragon - After a supposedly epic battle between good and evil with magic and swords and a magic sword, the audience felt hopelessness grip it, and promptly threw the author into a shark tank.

5. TROGDOR! Burninating the candy store! Burninating your birthday! Batternating all the women, in the NINETEEN SIXTI-IIIIEEEEESSS! NINETEENSIXTIIEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!
And then Trogdor burns in the NIGHT!!!!!!

6. This one shouldn't count because they say wish twice. Ooh, unless they got two wishes. Maybe it's Aladdin, a fantasy tale with a whimsical genie, some wishes, and the disease upon Hollywood known as Disney.

7. Grand Theft Auto: Forest Trails - In this game-to-film adaptation, a scorpion steals a car and goes through wacky criminal hijinks and shenanigans before fulfilling his destiny and bringing crack and whores to the forest he lives in.

8. The Spy Who Loved Me - Separated from her mother at birth, a girl grows up to be a famous musician, conductor, and composer. Her mother is a secret agent. They meet, years later, and fall in love. Nasty pr0n ensues. Audiences weep for their sanity.

9. I bet the novelization to this film had Fabio on the cover. And that's all I'm going to say.

10. Shaft! - John Shaft.
He's a sex machine, the private dick who gets all the chicks.
They say that Shaft is one bad mother-
Watch your mouth!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft!
And I can dig it.

[kokopellinelli]

Congratulations, my dear. You missed every single one. :) And that's what I love about you. You're just so gosh-darn cute!

Re: Do I Win?

[kokopellinelli]

Holy shit, how did you do that? Did you go search for the terms on IMDB or something?

Yes, you won. You won cyberhugs...FOR LIFE! YAAAAAAY!

Re: Do I Win?

[kokopellinelli]

Thaaaaat bitch.
