Movie Taglines

Answer: The Silence of the Lambs

Another tagline for "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) was "Dr Hannibal Lecter. Brilliant. Cunning. Psychotic. In his mind lies the clue to a ruthless killer. Clarice Starling, FBI. Brilliant. Vulnerable. Alone. She must trust him to stop the killer". However, that answer option would have been too much of a giveaway!

According to the IMDb (Internet Movie Database), to prepare for the role of Hannibal Lecter, Sir Anthony Hopkins studied the cases involving real-life serial killers, visited a few in prison, and attended some relevant trials. To prepare for the role of Clarice Starling, Jodie Foster spent time with an FBI agent (Mary Ann Krause).

Answer: Toy Story 3

"Toy Story 3" was released on June 18, 2010. In this movie, Andy is moving to college, and packs all his old toys into a box, which was meant to go to the attic. However, they accidentally go to a day care center by mistake, where they meet a lot of new characters. The movie is about the toys' attempt to escape Sunnyside (the day care center) and get back to Andy's place.

Answer: The War of the Roses

"The War of the Roses", as the poster states, was probably not the film to make you look at love and marriage with anything but a terror-filled eye. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner (as Oliver and Barbara Rose) played a married couple going through possibly the ugliest divorce in history, with property damage, tainted food and attempted homicide the least of it.

Answer: Die Hard

The Nakatomi Plaza building (played by Los Angeles' Fox Tower) was the forty stories that New York detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) had to scurry through, over, under and around while avoiding a high-tech gang of thieves (pretending to be terrorists) led by Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber. The film was named "Best action film of all time" by "Entertainment Weekly" in 2007, and has spawned several sequels.

Answer: Deliverance

In "Deliverance", Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox decided to spend a weekend canoeing down the Cahulawassee River before the river disappears under a flood that will be released when a dam will be destroyed. They mixed it up with some very, very disturbing locals over the course of the weekend, and their lives were changed for the worse (those who survived, anyway). James Dickey wrote the novel and had a small part in the movie.

From the film's trailer: "These are the men. Nothing very unusual about them. Suburban guys like you or your neighbor. Nothing very unusual about them until they decided to spend one weekend canoeing down the Cahulawassee River. Ed Gentry - he runs an art service, his wife Martha has a boy Dean. Lewis Medlock has real estate interests, talks about resettling in New Zealand or Uruguay. Drew Ballinger - he's sales supervisor for a soft drink company. Bobby Trippe - bachelor, insurance and mutual funds. These are the men who decided not to play golf that weekend. Instead, they sought the river."

Answer: Halloween

In "Halloween", it's Michael Myers coming home--from the mental hospital he's spent fifteen years in, after murdering his sister. This time, he's after Jamie Lee Curtis' character and her friends in rural Haddonfield, Illinois. Director John Carpenter hit it big with this movie.

"Halloween" cost just over $300,000 to make, and ended up making Curtis' career as well. HE came home a few more times. There have been at least seven sequels, a remake, and a sequel to the remake. One of those sequels, though ("Halloween 3: The Season of the Witch") doesn't include Michael in its plot.

Answer: Apollo 13

"Apollo 13" is a true story, based on a space mission that goes wrong. There is an explosion in space and the people on board can't get back to Earth safely, unless NASA can help. Can they fix the problem before it's to late? It stars Tom Hanks. The tag line refers to what the astronauts say to Mission Control.

Answer: Baby Mama

"Baby Mama" (2008) stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. When Kate (Fey) isn't able to have a child by herself, she turns to a surrogate, Angie (Poehler). Will Angie prove to be more of a ditzy trouble-maker than a responsible baby-carrier? The tagline is basically saying that Kate isn't too sure about putting her baby eggs in this irresponsible woman.

Answer: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a classic starring Matthew Broderick. This film is about a highschooler, Ferris, who decides to skip school along with his friend Cameron and girlfriend Sloane. The tagline refers to Ferris's struggle to take it easy because even though he has skipped school for that day, he runs into all sorts of obstacles including his father and his principal.

Answer: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is about a young boy, named Charlie (Peter Ostrum), who is lucky enough to win a tour of a chocolate factory. The factory is owned by the eccentric and very mysterious Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder). Charlie, along with five others, wins a golden ticket, which was located under the wrapper of a Wonka candy bar. Once in the factory, the guests discover that it is not all as it seems, and many weird things begin to happen. The tag line simply enhances this weird reputation, through the use of descriptive language. It is a perfect match for the movie, because it is weird and wacky, and doesn't really make much sense. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a remake of the film. The movies are based on the novel by Roald Dahl called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Answer: The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
