The Crypt-O-Gram message board discussion.
Damn, I hate Pan & Scan!
My DVD player is stuck on full screen mode. Following is a list of title cards from 25
movies. Letters have been chopped off of
the front and end of each title. How
many of them can you name? Here is the
thread for your answers.

And now for the answers to Crypt-O-Gram #5:
Here are the films I had used to arrive at the list of
two-word films, each word in the title sharing the same number of letters. As we discovered, multiple answers were
possible.
PB – PITCH BLACK or POINT BREAK
BB – BATMAN BEGINS
AF – ALMOST FAMOUS
TL – TRUE LIES
OT – OCEAN’S TWELVE
LW – LETHAL WEAPON
KB – KILL BILL
ND – NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE
DN – DR. NO
ST – STARSHIP TROOPERS
BN – BOOGIE NIGHTS
WR – WHALE RIDER
DB – DONNIE BRASCO
SL – STUART LITTLE
MM – MAD MAX
DC –
BS – BLAZING SADDLES
BR – BOTTLE ROCKET
MP – MATCH POINT
EB – EIGHT BELOW
And the answer to the difficult puzzle – oh, I’m going to
get hate mail for this! The last name of
each film’s director can be found anagrammed in the title.
— LEAN
Annie Hall — ALLEN
Star Trek: First
Contact — FRAKES
Apocalypse Now — COPPOLA
The Living Daylights — GLEN
The Man with the Golden Gun —
The Princess Bride — REINER
Miller’s Crossing — COEN
Natural Born Killers – STONE
And the titles I added later in the thread:
Manhunter – MANN
Broken Arrow – WOO
Jungle Fever — LEE
Sense and Sensibility (1995) — LEE
Someone to Watch Over Me — SCOTT
When the Levees Broke — LEE
