Pennies, for Beej only:
how many pennies? how much money does that come to? What movie sounds like that?
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I just want to say, that a few of the titles are not what I'd call 'horror' films per se. Not even all that dark, in some cases.
Very true. I'm not a even a horror fan, I haven't seen most of the movies in the game, I've just heard about them. Don't overthink the clues. Some are pretty literal, like
7,
but some are supposed to be punny, like
the woman with the kids,
which was the one that took me the longest.
Beej:
and the Ballgown is the David Lynch movie, but what else? Not the Stepford Wives?
Start with the color
and the planets nothing to do with Mars or When World's Collide?
Mars is correct, but nothing to do with Jupiter or Saturn
Sean:
The fish swallowing a string of pearls or something
Not entirely a fish.
The three children dancing in a circle.
A more general term than dancing, for children.
The woman wrangling two kids.
A pun about the woman.
The guy with a lantern.
It's not about the guy. It's about the lantern, but other objects would have worked as well.
The guy in a straight jacket
He's in a straight jacket, so he must be....
The three people looking at a map.
a/s of the people, and why are they looking at a map?
The group of people wearing zeroes and arguing.
Those aren't zeroes.
The stairs.
I can't think of a good clue. Second word is a synonym for stairs.
The pile of jack-o-lanterns.
Their own special day.

Oh, sweet weeping everything. I got the pennies. Thanks Raq.
dcp, I got the dress one pretty early on, but the others surrounding the dress? Not so much.

And finally the stairs!
Hint for that one: count
And the woman! Now that one hurt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Could someone link me to that quiz again? I got up to 10 yesterday and then ran out of time.

Mom wrangling kids
Lost people with map
Crazy guy
People wearing Not! Zeroes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm 40/50, and dcp's clues are still too vague for me! I still can't figure out the dancing kids, the mother, the Os, the lantern guy, the M&M's purse, and others I may not have found yet, like the building that looks like a candle.
Lost people with map
One of those words is in the title.
Crazy guy
Another word for crazy?

Sean, about the woman: say the various things that kids might call her outloud. One of them sounds a lot like the title of a movie.
About the crazy guy: he IS crazy. Now, let's assume he's a variation of crazy that might lead to criminal behavior. In that case, he would be a __?
You are SO close with the map people. Use one of the words you used to describe them, then look very closely at what kind of people they are. (I needed to use the zoom feature to get this one)
From what I understand the zeroes are, in fact, O's, but beyond that, I got nothin'.

Sean, about the woman
Oh Jesus.
I also don't know the big baby.
