7. A 1903 early silent film The Great Train Robbery

#5 Disclosure?
#6 The Andromeda Strain
#8 Rising Sun
#9 Prey
#10 Airframe
#11 The Terminal Man
#12 Timeline?
#13 Twister?
I don't think I got them all, many I've only seen the movie. I read Michael Crichton at times, so I keep a list of his books to make certain I don't read the same one twice. But you're tricky, Archer! Very tricky!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sp...nikshooter.gif
I'm gonna say #7 is The Great Train Robbery. Only because that's the only other Chricton book I can think off. or Congo.
Whoa. Ten out of 11 for Pen, and one for papayahed!
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Communal nanners!!
So, what's left? ANSWER: Not much.

4. Planet of the Sign-Language Speakers??
13. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Terror
I told you you were tricky, Archer!
#4 Westworld--I have the video right on my shelf even! (West--Indians--signlanguage)Quote:

#10. You have a noise and an emotion or _______ & _________

Maybe this will help.
Oh, and Robin if Papayahed is wrong, my guess is ELECTRONIC LIFE
7. Deliverance
10. The Sound and the Fury
And nope, sorry to both papayahed and Pendragon. Think of a movie that resembles the clue.
Planet of the ApesQuote:
