@Mel — Good job. You got the final one! So, officially, the answers are:
1. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
2. The A-Team
3. Terminator
4. The Dirty Dozen
5. Seinfeld
6. The Poseidon Adventure (old skool Gene Hackman version)
7. Charlotte’s Web

@60 — need to pace yourself with that media center.

No, I’m done. No mas.

I burned too many brain cells doing this while watching Idol.

I’m not as good as you are: I was thinking One Minute Manager/ Music Man for my biz book/movie.

Not easy, well done!

1. – Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Loved the Charlotte’s Web …

Let’s do one for – Who Moved the Cheese.. just as it is.

And yes there would be a line but would the non marketing people know it was marketing???

@60 — With no Google, a good effort.
1 is wrong. For 2, you’re right on one of the actors, but what was the show? 4 was called the Dirty Dozen. For 7, think about Paul Lynne and Henry Gibson. The rest are correct.
For yours — it’s either the Bad News Bears or Peter Pan.

@Kelly — camp out in line now. The Boardroom War movie is in the same movie era as the Great Escape, but that’s not it. Charlotte’s Web is correct. I had thought of using Babe for Purple Cow, but figured it as too obscure.

Chris,

Totally unbelievable. The audience will be filled with marketing geeks. (I guess I’d better get in line for a ticket now.) There must be something to it, but I can’t tell you how horrible that idea sounds.

Regards,

Kelly

P.S. Is War in the Boardroom The Great Escape?

Purple Cow is Charlotte’s Web. I loved that description.
