Movie Guessing Meme

[blueeowyn]

This is going around. The idea is to guess the movie based on the words used to describe the plot/points/etc. of the movie. Some could be PBS/Hallmark/Made for TV type movies
1. WWII, Czechoslovakia, Patton, rescue - javasaurus, rsteachoutis on the right track but not there
2. banker, laugh, chalk picture, wind - javasaurus, ednoria, anjabeth, queenmaggie, thatwasjen, rsteachout
3. piano, curved, teacher, drill
4. orphan, bosom friend, dreamer, kindred spirit - thatwasjen, queenmaggie
5. puppet, dancer, magician, orphan - rsteachout I was wondering if anyone would get this
6. betrayal, guilt, no worries, balance - ednoria, queenmaggie, rsteachout
7. stepmother, artist, wings, prince - anjabeth, rsteachout
8. shipwreck, cross dressing, love triangle, self-important servant - silmaril, queenmaggie, rsteachout got the title without knowing it was a movie
9. rebel, mystical, galaxy, pilot - scifantasy, javasaurus, queenmaggie, rsteachout
10. leprechaun, gold, enchantment, storyteller - queenmaggie though Java recognized it but can't remember the title
11. vacation, dancing, immoral, competition - javasaurus, ednoria, anjabeth, queenmaggie, rsteachout
12. human, acrobatics, child grows, fantastical
13. plagerism, cross dressing, playwrite, love - silmaril, javasaurus, thatwasjen, anjabeth, queenmaggie, rsteachout
14. swamp, layers, rescue, bride - javasaurus, queenmaggie, rsteachout
15. snakes, idol, bullwhip, excavation - scifantasy, javasaurus, thatwasjen, rsteachout, queenmaggie

I will screen comments for awhile and will note who has gotten them correct. I will post an answer key later as well.

My first thought on 1 was "Patton" -- but I couldn't remember enough of the story to know if there was a rescue. Of course, *now* I remember there is a scene about him rescuing the Lipizan horses. Can I get half a point for a second guess if the correct answer is Patton?

The only thing I can think of for 8 is "Twelfth Night", but I'm wasn't aware of that there had been film versions of the play.

1996 is when Ben Kingsley played Feste in a movie version of 12th night.

Patton is close but no cigar. Disney did a movie about the rescue of the Lipizzans so you were on the right track there.
