	I'm open to alternate suggestions. For one thing, I'm unhappy about the number of Disney films I relied on. A good 'G' or 'U' would be appreciated.

	I know the first one of these did the A-Z thing, but I don't think it adds much to the fun. The thing that's great is seeing how a simple, common word has been used so iconicly by a film (melting, baptism) that we are able to know what movie you're referring to immediately. Using the A-Z structure forces you into using a lot of proper names, which I personally enjoy less.

	good quiz. although i've seen christmas story countless times and for some reason i couldn't get it. every time i looked at ovaltine i thought of seinfeld

	@PetaB: I thought Bosco was the non-alcoholic malt beverage of choice on Seinfeld. @WindSword: I feel your pain, having tried this myself with TV shows. G could be Gandalf, Garth, or Gaugin but all those are proper nouns. If you have to go with a proper noun, how about Gekko?

	For U, does Uganda suggest the movie I'm thinking of? If not, there are two or 3 possible films for ultraminiaturization.

	Schwagirl:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 13:03 GMT		-3 points
	You should add Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer to Clarice.

	i could be wrong but i think parley is spelt parle with an accent.

	WindSword:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 13:57 GMT		1 point
	Parle with the accent is the more historical version. Nowadays it's spelled 'parley'. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parley

I always think using the character name is too easy...

	lilchocdonut:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 16:40 GMT		1 point
	yeah i kept reading it as par-lee instead of par-le

	For Watergate you should also accept Frost/Nixon.

	WindSword:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 18:42 GMT		0 points
	? Frost/Nixon is already accepted, as is Nixon.

	Jury is a bit...vague. Granted, 12 Angry Men is the first thing I thought of, but Runaway Jury and the like are plentiful alternates. Perhaps (and I know there's a Disney bigness here, but still) "Jasper"?

	LTH:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:19 GMT		1 point
	For "melting" you could also include "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

	bwood1957:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:21 GMT		-2 points
	Eve-might also take, Being There w/ Peter Sellers--his classic line "I like to watch, Eve." However, all caps implies an acronym, so maybe not good here. For U-Underwear--Risky Business

	jam_fan10:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 19:52 GMT		1 point
	yes i agree with what other people say. the proper nouns really hurt this- thats just think of a movie with memorable characters.. like the first quiz was really good- but here i would really consider more common words--lineup for the usual suspects? rug for the big lebowski? transvestite for the silence of the lambs/rocky horror...gopher for caddyshack (havent seen it completely or in a long time, so im not sure if gopher is the animal, but i think it is)---and theres your G that you needed...

	@Bwood: Not unless Shirley MacLaine's character spelled her name with Caps Lock on.

	GeorgiaPeach:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 22:46 GMT		3 points
	roseaddams: haha no me too then I thought about it. And you should accept "Simpsons" for "The Simpsons Movie"

	pbysr:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 23:19 GMT		0 points
	"Dr. No," famous in part for Ursula Andress, might be acceptable for "Ursula." Also "Watergate" could refer to "Dick," "Frost/Nixon," and even "Forrest Gump."

	spurtle:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 00:30 GMT		0 points
	Anyone else try 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' for "melting"?

	movielover94:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 01:31 GMT		1 point
	@roseaddams: I kept trying Young Frankenstein for Ovaltine too! I was so convinced that that was the movie I tried misspellings of Young Frankenstein. It should be accepted.

	dtro:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 01:50 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz idea, but I think its not that interesting if the 1 word clue is just a major character from the movie.

	RS89:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 04:20 GMT		-2 points
	I also thought Ovaltine was Young Frankenstein.

	zutluvip:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 15:50 GMT		1 point
	[nitpick] It's The Hitchhiker's Guide etc. [/nitpick]

	sporcl_er:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 18:35 GMT		-1 points
	I think Jury is a bit too vague. And I tried Ice Age 2 for melting, I too tried Forrest Gump for Watergate and eventually went with Frost/Nixon. I actually tried Young Frankenstein for lobotamy, not ovaltine...

	Brazil for lobotomy?

	JC3:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT		1 point
	@RockGolf Uganda makes me think of the last king of scotland?! Watergate is definitely "Frost/Nixon" the entire film is about it!!!

	JC3:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 20:53 GMT		1 point
	And BTW; Nihilist was the first clue I got! Got to be a fan to appreciate that one I think.

	JayO:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 06:20 GMT		1 point
	Despite Star Trek being overwhelmingly correct for "Vulcan," I definitely tried to guess Austin Powers due to Project Vulcan.

	ereadalot:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 20:11 GMT		1 point
	You may laugh, but I tried My Big Fat Greek Wedding for "baptism." Also, as others have said, Young Frankenstein should be accepted for "ovaltine." A suggestion for G might be "gorgeous," as in "Hello, gorgeous" from Funny Girl. And for U... I'll have to come back to that one.

	TheHeat:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 23:42 GMT		1 point
	it's probably just me, but I put "Dick" for the Watergate clue.

	johnkilantrose:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 02:09 GMT		0 points
	Super troopers should be accepted for Ursula.

	bigal4:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT		1 point
	i like the concept but the clues which are just character's names aren't really keeping with the theme i dont think.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Tender Mercies for baptism. It was a central plot point, when Robert Duvall decided to get baptized.

	kMac989:	Feb 21st, 2010 at 08:06 GMT		0 points
	I thought of "The Truman Show" for Ovaltine! Perhaps "underwhelmed" for U, as in "Clueless"? A bit of a far fetch, but it's a very funny line. ("I know you can be overwhelmed and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?" May not be verbatim; my apologies.)

	EggHeadNurse:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 08:44 GMT		1 point
	My first thought for iceberg was 'Brewster's Millions'. I got Watergate with 'Nixon' even though I knew you were refering to 'A Few Good Men' I just couldn't remember the name.

	bigeka:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 14:07 GMT		1 point
	I tried O Brother Where Art Thou for baptism and Dick for Watergate. I think they're both perfectly legitimate.
