from the mensa daily calendar, yesterday's was cinchy for we who know movies.

Posted by b. (aka starrynit) Jan 22 '15, 12:29

jeopardy and WoF have had categories like this, I think:
"in these puzzles, the last word of one movie title is the same as the first word (or part of a word) of another."

1. Sarah Jessica Parker and her urban gal pals help Billy Crystal to birth a calf on a dude ranch.

2. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds inspire Dustin Hoffman's unemotional savant to belt out a tune despite wet weather.

3. Darth Vader and his cronies attack time-traveling Marty McFly.

4. After a horrid car accident, mind-traveling Tom Cruise thinks he's at James Bond's Scottish homestead.

(b. wishes she'd thought earlier to connect to the digital version of the calendar, possibly saving herself typing!)
