Spamlet, I agree with you about Le Divorce - a perfect word for it. Le Mess! Le disappointement!

Since no one is going, I'll take the lead.

1) money

 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Happy Monday everyone! Ah, I love stumping you guys!

OK, so we've got:

1) money
2) soap company
3) swindle

ok, THIS should hopefully give it away!

4) Riviera


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Got me. The only Riviera movie I can think of is To Catch A Thief ?!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Yes, I think Paula's got it. When I saw the soap company clue, I knew I had seen a movie where a soap company was (kind of) involved. Of course I couldn't remember the movie! But now that Paula's said it, I think that's it.

Of course I could be completely wrong ....... ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I don't remember a soap company in 'To Catch a Thief', so I'll put in a quick guess at
'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'
(don't remember any soap in there either, but hey...)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Grace Kelly's father was in logging I believe, so I don't think soap company fits in, unless I missed something ! ;-p


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Hmmmm...... I thought Cary Grant was using as a cover a soap company salesman? For 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', wasn't their mark a soap company heiress?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I thought Cary Grant was a wine merchant - not as a cover, but after retiring from cat burgling. Long time since I've seen it last, though. I'll stick with my guess of DRS ;-)

Moongirl, where are you?!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

She's probably watching the World Cup .......... I know I wish I was ....... ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sorry, and yes I watched part of the World Cup and had to see USA lose!

Anyanka has it with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!

If you remember, Janet's last name was Colgate - and they thought she was the heiress of the soap company. Obviously Riviera, money and swindle are self-explanatory!

Anyanka you're up!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Thank you! I keep forgetting the world cup is on... not my thing... I do know Wimbledon is on because it's raining at last!!!

Here goes:

# 1 - Seduction


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Dangerous Liaisons?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Last Tango in Paris?

BTW I was about to guess To Catch a Thief, too, but could not recall any soap company info. in it.

The Postman Only Rings Twice


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sorry! didn't see (or notice Paula's guess)
How about....

Valmont?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Hey! That's essentially the same movie as 'Dangerous Liaisons'! ;-) (But I think Valmont was the better flick)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Way too easy, obviously - Paula got it in one, and so did Sherwood (Pat?), albeit a touch too late.

I don't actually have one favourite film, but if pushed, The Graduate is the one I usually vote for.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

ELAINE!!!!!!!!! lol.. ok, let's see ...here's one I just watched, so rather new

#2) skating rink


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Modern Times? Although that was skating IN a retail store...


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sounds almost like a Meg Ryan movie. How about .... When Harry Met Sally?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

You guys are getting warmer...

RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Nope. Ok we've got

1) retail store - let me change that to more specifically, department store

2) skating rink - that would be ice skating

3) glove

and I now add

4) Fate


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

The Bishop's Wife? I can't remember a retail store, but then it is many many years since I've seen it.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

anyanka
Maybe when she bought the hat? but I don't remember a glove


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I thought there was a dropped-glove-incident on the ice, but I may be thinking of a different movie. It must be over 20 years since I saw it.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Wow, I really cannot believe you guys aren't getting this. I'm running out of clues!

OK, try

5) phone number on a piece of paper

(I will also hint that it's a more recent movie - and if you're LUCKY you'll get it (wink, wink))


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Just Friends?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

It Could Happen to You ??


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Hello? Moongirl?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Howdy. Ok, I think I have officially stumped you guys. I'm kinda sad about it! I thought you would get it by now. Let me see if I can help with more details. If you still don't get it I'll give it to you.

1) department store

2) ice skating

3) glove

4) testing Fate

5) phone number on a piece of paper that gets blown away in a gust of wind

6) other fiances after many years

7) LUCK!!!!!

8) this is a Date Movie that came out just a few years ago


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sorry ....... I don't do date movies. I am, therefore, quite stumped. ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Moongirl, you're drivin' me crazy...;-D

The Family Man ??


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Doggone it! I feel so bad that you guys aren't getting this.

SERENDIPITY!!!!!

Someone else wanna have a go at it? I think I'm banned by you guys!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

It's easy to stump me with any recent romantic movie - actually, any really recent movie, come to that. We're so busy catching up with the classics on DVD that I like to apply the test of time to newer films: if it's still talked about two years later, I'll rent it...

May I have another go, seeing as I gave you such a damnably easy one last time?

Here goes:
Clue #1 Auction


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Moongirl you did it AGAIN! :-D

Out of Africa


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I just could not for the life of me figure out why John Cusack kept popping into my head... Dang! I didn't even seen the movie but the trailers were on alot. Good on you, moongirl!

The Red Violin ?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

War of the Roses?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sorry everyone! It's always fun stumping you at first but then I felt your frustration and I felt so bad.

I just have to tell you, this game reminds me of a game we used play on long car trips, when I was young. My father made it up. He called it "Stump The Daddy." He would ask a question (usually something educational, like history or geography, etc.) and me and my brother and sister would have the chance to answer the right answer. If we got it wrong, he would go again until we got it right. Then whoever got the answer right had the chance to stump HIM. Year after year after year we played it, gosh, until we were too old for car trips. We still talk about it, it's a long running joke and one of the most beloved memories in my family!

Phantom of the Opera?

Once Upon a Time in the West ?

 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

ok Dyno, go for it! :-D

1. inheritance
2. trains
3. divorcee


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Doh! Ok ...... I was going to guess "The Wrong Box" but I don't remember a divorcee in it.

The heck with it. That's my guess -- "The Wrong Box"! ;-)

RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sorry D.... let's speed things up, I'm leavin' for vaca. after today

1. inheritance

 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Oh goodie, another chance to give you one of my famous 'one clue and everybody's got it' games...

Loved 'Galaxy Quest', by the way - it was so well made, and great fun.

[Off to the IMDb to check out Hard to Kill; never heard of it...]


 o
No more guesses?

Clue # 1 - killing spree
Clue # 2 - coma

 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Play Misty For Me ??


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Carla, the next clue would have been The Holy Grail... take it away!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Wow, I got it?! I haven't seen that movie in so long I wasn't really sure. Really good movie.

Here's a new one:

Clue#1: New Job


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Nine to Five?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Match Point?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

In Good Company


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Devil wears Prada?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

The Diary of Bridget Jones?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Not Yet...

Clue#1: New Job
Clue#2: Church


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Sister Act?! (I know, I know. But that was the first thing that popped into my head!)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Mmh, had Gregory Peck just started ambassadoring in London, or was he an old hand at it?

Anyway, my guess is The Omen, for want of something more inspired.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Footloose ?? ;-D


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Keeping the Faith?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

The Bishop's Wife?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Clue#1: New Job
Clue#2: Church
Clue#3: Bed sheets


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Girl With a Pearl Earring


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Paula may have it but ....... I'll throw in .......

Needful Things?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

This is an older movie...

Clue#1: New Job
Clue#2: Church
Clue#3: Bed sheets
Clue#4: Police


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Stumped.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Stumped? I've never heard of that movie! ;-)

I'll go with what anyanka said -- I'm also stumped.


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

OK, now I'm feeling bad that nobody has guessed it yet. I would think many have at least heard of it but maybe just not seen it.

Clue#1: New Job
Clue#2: Church
Clue#3: Bed sheets
Clue#4: Police
Clue#5: Pizza - or, make that cheese bread (real "Italian" style)


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Not a clue!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I've been following along but have nothing to add except I'm stumped too!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I Love You to Death ??


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Married to the Mob? Can't remember most of the details in it... quite possibly NONE of the clues actually fit!


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

I Love You to Death (loved that movie)
Sounds good but I don't remember any sheets in it.
Let's see did someone tie strips of sheets together to escape from the police when he/she was caught eating pizza in the Church?


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

Utterly stumped....


 o
RE: Clue Game #74 - resumed once more

It's "The Bicycle Thief". A movie I highly recommend!

Anyone else can go...
