Movie Taglines

(Via Libertas) Here is a list of the top 100 American movie taglines. The top five:

1. In space no one can hear you scream. Alien (1979)
2. Houston, we have a problem. Apollo 13 (1995)
3. They’re back. Poltergeist II (1986)
4. We are not alone. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
5. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Jaws 2 (1978)
An interesting list but what caught my eye was something else. A quick glance and I accidentally matched up some taglines with the wrong movie. I think it actually improves some of them. Here's 11-20, kind of.
11. An epic of miniature proportions. Poltergeist (1982)
12. They’re here. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
13. You won’t believe your eye. An American Werewolf in Paris (1997)
14. Things are about to get a little hairy. There’s Something About Mary (1998)
15. Love is in the hair. Apocalypse Now (1979)
16. The horror...the horror. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
17. The ultimate trip. Jurassic Park (1993)
18. An adventure 65 million years in the making. Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
19. They’re young...they’re in love...and they kill people. Psycho (1998)
20. The classic story about a boy and his mother. Saving Private Ryan (1998)

This is fun. I printed it out to use as an ice breaker at work.

Love the one - "this is Benjamin. He's a little worried about his future." I don't remember that!

Two of my favorites that didn't make the list: "Pray for Rosemary's baby" and "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
