1."You're what Judge Bernstein called......." Fill in the rest and you have the movie title and summary. Hint: Lumet. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time; in my top 5.

2. "You won, George"

3. Two washed up middle-aged loser guys drive to the California wine country, get into a tangle, and smooth it all out in time for the wedding and we're left hanging as to whether one gets the girl.

4. Terry Benedict gets robbed.

3 is Sideways.

2. Big plant, bad dentistry.

3. Smart family hate dad.

4. Laxatives and checkered stuff.

5. Dickensian fairy is violent.


These films are all linked.

1. Groundhogs Day (I got you, Tanx)

4. Ghostbusters?

5. Scrooged

Good theme.

My guess comes from my Crispin Glover Collection: Charlie's Angels.

You are right enough to give you points, and you scare me. The correct answer is Charlie's Angels II: Full Throttle.

"A ragtag team tries to turn its poor performance around."

Just watched it the other day - part one. Love me some Crispin Glover. Can I recommend Rubin and Ed to anyone who remotely enjoys him?

"A ragtag team tries to turn its poor performance around."

For some reason, the movie Vibrations comes to mind. If anyone has seen this they will immediately start laughing. If you haven't seen it, you've got 2 hours of your life more than the rest of us. It stars Christina Applegate. It is about a guy who loses his hands - but he is a pianist or DJ or something. He sinks deep into depression. Then Applegate and her ragtag group of friends come and build him computer robot hands and get him gigs at Clubs. He suddenly becomes this national club idol, dressing up in this stormtrooper suit and playing keyboards for techno music that is preprogramed into his computer robot hands. Fucking motherfucking lamely hilarious. There are so many bad scenes in this movie - MST3K should revive and do this movie, goddamn. If there were a 4 word write up, it would be 'DJ Computer Robot Hands'.

Anyway, I know it's not that, so my guess is Waiting for Guffman.

Yep, you got the theme but 4 isn't Ghostbusters.

Fast Eddie acquires some character and proves to Bert he's not a loser by beating the Fatman bad, yet knowing when to quit.
