Silly time waster (game!)
 

Ok, a bunch of the people at my office were playing this game (we are all movie buffs) where you try to see how high you can count using movie titles...

Rules: 1. Must be a mainstream movie (No obscure dutch films, the majority of people must have heard of it... if not seen it). 2. The number must be spelled out or numeric, In other words #14 can't be "four teen princesses" even though it should really get extra points for creativity! 3. No sequels, Friday the 13th part 6 can't be used for both #13 and #6 4. No porn (see rule #1)

Lets see what people come up with... personally we couldn't get past 13. I will post the rest of our list tomorrow... but just to get started.

1. One trick pony
2. 2 Days in the Valley
3. Three Days of the Condor/Three O'Clock High

I can't think of anything after 6. ;)

btw, fun game for a group!

4. Four Rooms
5. Five Easy Pieces
6. Leonard Part 6
7. Seven
8. Eight Legged Freaks
9. 9 1/2 Weeks
10. Ten Commandments
11. Oceans Eleven
12. Twelve Monkeys
13. 13th Floor
14. Saturday the 14th

15. 15 Minutes
16. 16 Candles
17. Stalag 17
18. 18 Again
19. K-19 Widowmaker

23. ?
24. 24 hours in london/24 hour party people
25. 25th hour

23. 23 Paces to Baker Street - too bad it's not on DVD.

I also wanted to add K-9 in addition to 9 1/2 Weeks. We must not forget our Jim Belushi and dog sidekick movies.

Oooo, hey I just knew somebody could come up with one for 14. You guys are good. I wanted to try to get up to "101 Dalmations" "Turk 182" or maybe "187"... but some how I doubt it.

I want to get up to 1776 and 2001

Ok... now there's a challange. I wanna see what you come up with for say 723?

Aside from the Brakhage short, Song 26, I think that numbers a void.

123. Taking of Pelham 123

okay so we're not there yet.... but I just thought of that movie and thought it needed a mention. :D

Make sure to slip "Pi" in between 3 and 4.

Nice one... and at the beginning of the list... we need "Less then Zero" and "Zero Effect"

Oh yeah, well I want to get up to 8 Million Ways to Die!

24) Twenty-Four Hours to Kill
25) 5-25-77 (Tho I dont think that's out yet)

Looks like this game died at 26.

I will save the game

26. Song 26
27. 27 Pieces of Me
28. 28 Days (Later)
29. 29 Palms
30. 13 Going On 30

Nope, 27.

Yeah, except the (overly strict) rules kind of disqualify all of those.

eh... what the hell... Those are fine... I'm flexable, besides most of them I have heard of.

Even 28 Days!? Or 28 Days Later?

C'mon, there's plenty for 26!

26 Angry Men

The 26 Faces of Eve

26 Little Indians

26 Men and a Baby

Hey come on... I said no porn! :D

Also, add 8 1/2 between 8 and 9. The sequel to The Naked Gun (2 1/2: The Smell of Fear) can go between 2 and 3.

Then you could get up to Naked Gun 33 1/3

Wait, I forgot-he said no sequels, so the Naked Gun ones can't count.

Hmmm, what about X-Men 1.5?

Cop and a Half could go between 0 and 1.

K

Let's not forget the titles that will clearly be the top end of the list:

and...(drumroll, please)

I was thinking more along the lines of Infinity.

I think someone already mentioned this but it was not included in the latest list:

Oh, and :

Would MST3K: the movie count?

Brewster's Millions?

200 cigarettes
miracle on 42nd street

Where would you put this? 30 million, 300 million, over 2million?

You combined two movies here: Miracle on 34th Street and 42nd Street.

JUst saw Kevin Costner on Inside the Actor's Studio. Doh! I forgot about
3000 Miles to Graceland.

No, I think I know what he means. A couple of ladies showed me a miracle on 42nd st., but it cost me :D.

i was thinking it could just cover 1,000,001 to 999,999,999
