Name the Movie Quiz #2

Name the movie
The rules are simple. I’ll give you a short (very short) summary and you name the movie.
All movies have an airplane or flying featured in it, even if it is only when our hero/heroine steps out/bails out of an airplane; or just goes zooming/floating off into the wild blue yonder. So put on those thinking caps and lets see how you do.
As with our previous quizzes there is no prize, just board bragging rights and maybe a virtual trophy - that is, if I can find it. *wink*
Have Fun


Example -
Film summary - Technicolor midgets give directions
Answer - Wizard of Oz


Ok, here we go

1- Maverick overcomes ‘fighter’s block’.
2- President flies Solo
3- 10,000,000 miles frequent firer
4- Boeing Constrictors
5- “Shirley” was a funny film
6- Heavy metal soars
7- Virtual viral villain vanquished
8- Hal, controls, halts, deletes


Bonus
Everything including kitchen sinks (clue - no airplanes in this film, although I think there’s a helicopter. This film features something bigger than a jumbo jet - much, much bigger.)


Now let’s some answers

Top Gun
Air Force One
Up in the Air
Snakes on a Plane--hysterical!!
Airplane
Air America
Contagion
2001 space odyssey

Interesting answers M767. You have some right, some wrong, and you skipped the bonus. You can still change your answers - think think think.:)

Considering I mostly watch movies on board DL flts--I won't even bother with bonus. I am proud to say that when we celebrate our anniversary--married 05/05/05--that we've never been to a movie theatre since we started dating in 2000. Last movie I watched in a theatre was the second (I think) Star Wars. The one with Natalie Portman.
Just not a popular movie buff--I just knew some of them from the plane rides when I got tired of reading. I'm more of a historical film fan.

I still think Snakes on a Plane was one of the most amusing films I've ever seen.

I’ve never seen snakes on a plane; I have however seen a ‘Stars Wars Storm trooper‘ on one, (he was in civilian clothes but was holding his helmet) I’ve got to tell you, the uniform definitely makes the man. :D

#7 the matrix

bonus....district nine

#2 independence day

and its the IRON MAN that soars the skies with his heavy metal didn't you know?.

Palms except where noted, I’m going to assume your answers are the same as M767’s.
And in that case, just like her, you have some right….. and some wrong.

Next

I'm actually really terrible with movies, but I have bad guesses for some and good guesses for others. I'm making a point not to look at other people's answers before posting this.

1- Rocky series
3- Up in the Air
5- Airplane!
8- 2001: A Space Odyssey

Bonus: Star Wars? I'm probably the only computer science graduate to not see that movie

Well Spongebue you have a few right.

If its all good with everyone, how about seeing some answers here. Fork 'em over Migflanker.

1. Top Gun
2. Airforce One
3. Up in the Air
4. Snakes on a Plane
5. Airplane
6. Iron Man
7. Independence Day
8. 2001 a Space Odyssey

Bonus: Alien? (my first thought was Wizard of Oz but you said there was a helicopter)

OK, time for a movie quiz update.

No, the bonus isn’t Star Wars or Alien. But maybe if I put a little more emphasis on that last word


Everything including kitchen……..SINKS! *cue movie theme music here* :rolleyes:

Close, but no cigar Palms. “A boat that rocked & rolled“ - now that’s, The Poseidon Adventure. :cool:

Keep Thinking!

Perfect Storm

Too bad Pirate Radio didn't have a chopper--it was a COOL movie!

If I were to see a kitchen sink, I would be either in a sinking ship or a submarine. I could be on the 20000 leagues under the sea, or I could be on the titanic, so which one has a helicopter scene? Didn't they take the old lady back to the place where the ship sunk by helicopter at the end? So I say......TITANIC. With the stupid theme tune. That all the girls loved because its a love movie and all girls want to be loved.

No M767, “Clooney under the weather” or “Ocean vs. ocean” *wink* that describes “The perfect storm”.


Palms is correct- "Everything including kitchen sinks” is the four word review for the “Titanic”!


Hope you had fun.

Funny--good catch palms! I hated the end, so I probably never paid attention to the chopper. Dumb@ss old broad drops the million dollar necklace in the drink?? What the heck was that? She just blew a huge inheritance for her kids and grandchildren--not to mention any charitable foundations that could have used a few thou each! Chopper shudda dropped her! Decaprio shudda let her go from the "raft" and saved himself...ah, love...

What year did this movie come out? I was on SPN at the time, so I calculate it was out in 1998 or so??? That's a 15 year old movie easily. Of course, I got suckered into going to see this with my main squeeze. So we put up with those things to keep the ladies assured that they are loved indeed.

You got the right time frame. Titanic came out in 97.
