Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Everybody's clues.

Really, Strega, this one is easy as pie. A cakewalk. No sweat off your back.

But I did just get that one and now I see why the clues led me away from the answer.

Still don't have the map, the reaper, or the water. Are they actually horror movies? I did a lot of this just by knowing horror titles, not because I've seen many of them.

Yeah, they're all horror movies. Let me try some more general, movie-based clues:

The map one is about vampires. The reaper one is based on a book by Stephen King. The water one starred Jennifer Connelly.

Megan, The map is something you use when you are what? And, (forgive me friends) who among us are the least likely (according to many comedians) to NOT consult a map or anyone else when in this state of being?

The water has a particular quality and the movie is relatively new...Go with P-C's clue. It's a good one.

The reaper is standing in something ...an area...a defined space...something like basketball players might pay attention to.

Am I the only one clicking on things and making up movie titles, just in case?

Compassionately intolerant

See? That's why I begged forgiveness beforehand. It's a nasty cliche and NOT true...um...some of the time. Present company excepted, I'm SURE.

The map is a big late eighties movie, that was hip horror with a bit of action/adventure and a bit of humor. It starred two young male actors with the same first name. They did a lot of stuff together because of that.

The reaper is within an area. You might say a....

The water you may or may not have seen. It's sort of recent, in that it was another one of those remakes of a moody Japanese horror movie. There's a property of the water that's important, and it's the title of the movie.

I object to the three kids meaning what they mean. Harrumph. That would have been better represented with one kid on a stage.

The water one is also a remake, actually. But recent. Like the blue M&M.

I'll cop to getting more than one that way.

No. I did that with a bunch of them. None of my made up movies were ever correct.
