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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
