Paul Blart is pretty recent (and I think they made a sequel not like last year or something?), so that helps, I suppose. Still, I haven't seen either, but I know of Lawrence of Arabia from the sheer acclaim surrounding it (yes, I will see it some day. Paul Blart, probably not).
When was the last time you were flipping channels and happened onto Lawrence of Arabia? Were your kids clamoring to watch Lawrence of Arabia on Netflix? Do junior high schoolers find Peter O'Toole hysterical? For reasons that are self-evident, you clearly weren't the target demographic.
These comments that bristle at pop culture being popular are what's absurd.
I always try "Basil and Maude".....only to recall, when it doesn't work, that that is the name of a clothing line sold at Anthropologie. Sigh. I suppose that shows my priorities!
I did this too, until I recalled Harold and Maude, but I do think Micki needs to be added. Micki & Maude, from 1984, was not a horrible movie and was nominated for a few awards.
John Tucker Must Die...John Wick...Bill and Ted......Beavis and Butthead......Wayne's World........Antwone Fisher...........Dolores Clayborne.......Ali.............
Saving Private Ryan and Lawrence of Arabia bothered me a bit as the quiz instruction say, "These movies have first names in the title."
"Ryan" and "Lawrence" are first names; and "Ryan" and "Lawrence" are in the title; but they aren't first names in those titles. Considering that all the entries but these two are first names, and there are so many other possibilities to choose from, they just don't quite fit. Would you accept Breakfast at Tiffany's?
You could add a caveat to make it clear, but it might be a better improvement to just substitute a couple of other entries (lots of suggestions in the thread; or try Meet ___, Harold and ___ Go to White Castle, or ___ the Viking).
Considering it's in the next quiz in this series... probably, yes. "They are first names" and "they are in the title" is literally all they mean when they say "first names in the title," regardless of the movie's actual content.
