X or cist (Exorcist)..

Looper for the one in a loop..

Maybe Inception for the f(f(f(x))) one?

edited to hide the first one from the title..

[Donald Ian Rankin]

4. Would you mind editing to move the answer out of the title, please?

So that people can avoid seeing it.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

8. Thanks.

I think you're right on #6, by the way.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

2. I can do a few, but not as many as I should be able to.

1) Don't know. Something to do with tangents, I guess?
2) Joan of arc
3) Don't know. I want the answer to be "The Range", but that's not a film. "Home on the Range" or "The Lone Ranger" or something, I guess?
4) Don't know.
5) Vector
6) Don't know
7) Don't know
8) Exorcist
9) I'm ashamed to day that not merely do I not know the film, I don't even recognise the first two equations. The third looks like a fourier transform, but that doesn't help much.
10) Don't know. The only thing I can think of is "the mod squad".

[Donald Ian Rankin]

3. Aha, I think I have another!

6 might be Star Wars.

[Recursion]

15. No, 6 is...

"In the Loop", I think. (Very funny movie about the diplomatic maneuverings before the Iraq war, starring the new Dr. Who.)

16. I believe we need to agree on a numbering scheme, hehe. n/t

5. Would 10 be

Pi?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

7. I don't think so.

I can't see a way to get there from the clue.

18. It seems to be the cardinality of the probability of the inner product operator

Which makes no sense to me.

[X_Digger]

10. I think you got the first one..

Tangents..

[Recursion]

14. Laplace, not Fourier, incidentally

I can describe what those three equations in #9 mean but I can't for the life of me connect that to a movie title.

EDIT: oh, cute: "Transformers". Possibly "Transformers III".

And that's a wavelet, Bessel, and Laplace transform, respectively.

6. -

Negative.

[Link Speed]

11. Nope, but I haven't seen a movie in 40 years

I have never understood the appeal of movies.

[GReedDiamond]

20. Wow...I'm curious, Link Speed, what was the last movie...

...you ever saw?

Forty years ago - 1973 - was the year I graduated from high school, that's a long time ago.

I find this statement "I have never understood the appeal of movies" to be likewise fascinating.

I know there are a lot of really bad movies out there, but do you not consider movie-making to be an art form?

Could you elaborate?

Thanks.

28. 'Easy Rider'

I was on a motorcycle ('47 knucklehead) of the Lower 48 States when I met a woman from Bryn Mawr, PA. She had seen the movie and took me to see it in Villanova.

When we walked out of that movie, I swore I would never enter another movie theater.

Also, I don't want to sit down for 90 minutes with a bunch of people I don't know. I would much rather spend my time and money in a cool blues joint with a bunch of friends and wild women.

However, I do have one of those BLU things plugged into my teevee and I spend some evenings watching old shows.

Movies as an art form? I believe anything can be elevated to an art form.

[treestar]

12. No!

Holy cow!

[X_Digger]

13. Kick! Anyone else get any more of these? n/t

[Recursion]

17. My guesses

Going row-major (ie,
1 2
3 4
5 6

etc.)

1: Tangents (1994)
2: Joan of Arc (several)
3: Open Range (2003)
4: I want to say "Composition" or "Curry", but neither is apparently a movie title
5: EDIT oh, ha ha: "The Matrix" (that's an old way of writing matrices)
6: In the Loop
7: Star Wars
8: Exorcist
9: Transformers III
10: Just going to go with "The Probability Factor" (1976)
