MOVIE MATH

There are those who think a movie genius doesn’t need to know numbers, which just isn’t true. The numbers have been dropped from most of the titles. You must fill in the numbers to do the math problem.

For instance “Snow White and the _____ Dwarfs” (Disney’s first animated feature) plus “___” (animated post-apocalyptic feature released on 9/9/09) = ?

The answer would be ‘16’. (Seven plus 9)

So back to math class –

1) “The Last Angry Man” (Paul Muni, 1959) plus “_____ Angry Men” (Henry Fonda, 1957) times “______ Angry Men” (Raymond Massey, 1955) =

2) “The Scent of a Woman” (Al Pacino Oscar Winner) plus “____ Women” (Sophia Loren Oscar Winner) times “______ Women” (Shelly Duvall BAFTA and Cannes Winner) =

3) “_____ Graves to Cairo” (Billy Wilder directed) minus “Cradle ___ the Grave” (Andrzej Bartowiak directed) times “Plan ___ from Outer Space” (aka “Grave Robbers from Outer Space”) =

4) “____ Hours” (Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte) minus “____ Hours” (James Gardner and Rod Taylor) plus “Another ____ Hours” (Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte) =

5) “(____) Days of Summer” (2009 – contemporary romance) minus “_____” (2006 – historical action) times “How to Lose a Guy in ____ Days” (2003 – lousy romance)
