10. smuggler / spirituality / sword fight / eaten alive / famous twist -- The Empire Strikes Back - guessed by [info]neveth
11. golden rectangle / pythagoras / kaleidoscope / musician / duck -- Donald in Mathmagic-land - guessed by [info]anneliese

man, you swept half of them!

and, close.

#3 is definitely The Pink Panther.

Is it even fair for me to guess #11? Since I imagine I am the only person in the world who could, I will: DONALD IN MATH-MAGIC LAND.

I feel like I should be able to get #2 but I can't think of it right now.
4th-Mar-2008 06:25 am (UTC)
I thiiiink you've seen #2 but I'm not positive. right on the others!
4th-Mar-2008 06:26 am (UTC)
I cheated and googled "suicide marriage flashback sequence painting family reunion." fyi, your LJ is the first response! Then the fourth or so gives it away. I'll wait for others.
4th-Mar-2008 06:27 am (UTC)
Hahah, my lj got google-indexed fast. That's crazy!
4th-Mar-2008 06:28 am (UTC)
ok I did the same thing with #10... when the heck is the "eaten alive" part??? Obviously you can't answer w/o giving it away, but still.
4th-Mar-2008 06:30 am (UTC)
I'll answer in your journal. People who want to be spoiled on #10, go to her journal!
4th-Mar-2008 06:28 am (UTC)
6 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

2 sounds really familliar, but I can't think of the name
10: Hellboy
4th-Mar-2008 06:29 am (UTC)
Correct on 6!
4th-Mar-2008 06:34 am (UTC)
#10 is Empire Strikes Back. Dur, looked above at top comment.
4th-Mar-2008 06:35 am (UTC)
Yep!
4th-Mar-2008 07:04 am (UTC)
who got eaten alive in that one?
4th-Mar-2008 07:27 am (UTC)
The whole Millennium Falcon, by that asteroid-creature.
4th-Mar-2008 06:31 am (UTC)
*also googles #2, because it was driving her nuts* Ohhhh. Dur.

Is five Serenity? You would think I would remember a gatling gun ...
4th-Mar-2008 11:51 pm (UTC)
yes! I'm not actually sure in retrospect when in the movie it appeared, but it was in the plot keywords on IMDB, and somehow I didn't stop to puzzle it out.
4th-Mar-2008 04:32 pm (UTC)
#2 sounds like What Dreams May Come.
#5 sounds like Serenity, but like the previous poster, the gatling gun puzzled me.

You've got the last of 'em! Woo!
