Before I get offline and do some actual things like beta a story and wash dishes, a meme! I've seen this one around for a while.
Some of these plot keywords made me laugh my ass off when used in reference to these movies, so I used them for the meme. I swear to God, "Babe scientist" is an actual IMDB keyword.
1. Go to IMDB.com and look up fifteen of your favorite movies.
2. Post five official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for each.
3. Have your friends guess the movies! No Googling or using IMDB's search function to cheat.
1. Altering history. Stabbed through head. Mother-Son Relationship. Helicopter explosion. Bodyguard. (I edited this one a little because a couple of the keywords just didn't seem right.) - "Terminator 2: Judgement Day," guessed by

2. Disturbing. Female nudity. Nailgun. Bathtub scene. Murder. - "The Toolbox Murders," guessed by no one
3. Nightmare. Mental patient. Sorority. Axe murder. Crossbow. (Actually, someone assigned an incorrect keyword to this movie. "Crossbow" should be "bow and arrow" or "harpoon gun." There were no crossbows.) - "The Initiation" (1984), guessed by no one
