A few months ago, Jess from Insight Into Entertainment and I must have been watching the same episode of “Cougar Town” (which is somewhat amusing, since I never watch that show). On this particular episode, the characters were playing a movie guessing game…and not days later did it make its debut on Jess’ space.

It’s a fun game, and one that I’m sorta good at – though I’d happily trade that off for being able to give Lady Hatter a run for her money at Scrabble.

I wouldn’t dream of making this a regular thing, since Jess already has that covered…but for just one day I thought I’d provide people with a glut of entries and see who can get what.

Here’s how the game works: The plot synopsis of two movies are mashed together into one description, and the titles of the two will overlap. For instance “An Irish artist with cerebral palsy moves to a southern town where dancing has been banned” would be MY LEFT FOOTLOOSE.
