Yep, nice work all of you guys.  Well, it looks like our still unguessed one is proving to be quite difficult.  So, Ill give you guys a hint:

The common word is the name of a state.  It refers to the state in one of the mives involved, but not in the other one.  Hope that helps.

Jared,

I searched your rules very, very carefully.....and I found that you did not prohibit us from using Google to help find the answer(s)!

So, I took "ex-cop" and "ex-con" and "baby" and "movie" and found "Raising Arizona".

Then, I took "ex-raider" and "jail" and "movie" and found "Arizona Raiders".

I would not have used Google if you had said that we could not.  ;D

I will DEFINITELY remember that for Part 3!  Even tho it was not epxlicitily prohibited, I still want to consider this cheating......

GASP!!!  Cheater-head!

I actually knew "Raising Arizona."  How many of you have seen that?  It's priceless...seriously.  But I couldn't figure out the other part...

This is gonna be a really weird question, but to all who have played, are there any merged movies, from both this and the first quiz, that you might actually enjoy watching?

I agree, Jared, it should be considered cheating, but only if expressly prohibited.

But since you didn't prohibit it in your rules for parts 1 and 2, it was not cheating in parts 1 and 2 !

Oh well.... I won't be able to use Google again on your movie quizzes, I guess...

:)

Ah come on, Arwen, you should be proud of me, I read the rules VERY CAREFULLY and I took advantage of a loop-hole that the rules did not prohibit...... It's like a "reality" show game, where they play the game while taking full advantage of every angle they can find within the rules-as-stated! ;D

I haven't watched "Raising Arizona", but I've seen it on the shelf at the video store...does that count?  ;)

Uh...yeah.  I think it's pretty obvious that I watch (and enjoy watching) "Lord of the Rings" pretty frequently.

I love "Raising Arizona."

"There's Something About Mary" is an all time classic...

Who doesn't love "Austin Powers?"

Um...it might be easier to list the movies I don't enjoy...I'm a bit of a movie freak...

Yeah, I'm not really mad at you.  But I think I'm going to consider myself the real winner... ;)

And no...it doesn't count.  But you really need to check it out.

If somebody filmed "There's Something About Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" as a Mel Brooks-style farce, I would LOVE to see it!  ;D

Just imagine what they could do with the song "Why Do You Build Me Up, Buttercup?"
