The snooty girls might always say no--
Napoleon carried the day though
when he showed the whole school
that a nerd can be cool,
and everyone voted for Pedro.
I know. You try rhyming Pedro.

And which film is this, Marion?
I'm so slow at recognising some of these that I'm reiterating my plea to all:
The title of the film that prompted your Filmerick/Limerflick, please.

Grief is taking its toll on Paul’s mind.
He wants sex, the anonymous kind.
Before Jeanne pulls her gun,
Paul has S&M fun
When he butters her up from behind.
Jayne, I know I've been posting these without film titles. I'm not trying to be a jackass. (Well, I don't have to try, do I? It comes naturally.) It's just that a lot of the fun for me lies in the challenge of sketching the film recognizably without actually saying the name. I'm pretty confident that there wasn't much mystery about my other four limericks. This time I'm less sure. So I'll be happy to provide the title if it's needed.

The dreams of a famous director
who's blanking behind the projector,
give each silly gaffe
in 8 1/2
a self-referential specter.

A shrink with a keen appetite
Helps the FBI gain some insight
As they hunt a slayer
And serial flayer.
But he’s scheming to take flight and bite.

Aarrgghh! Chris, it's too much like hard work, trying to work out these titles, which is why I always strive for an easy life.
Marion's: no idea
Chris' post # 23: no idea
Pedro's: no idea
Chris' post # 25: Aha! Got that one - Silence of the Lambs
1 out of 4 is pretty poor

OK, Jayne, I said I'd provide the title for my post #23 poem if needed, and I'm as good as my word -- Last Tango in Paris.
I hope Marion and Pedro will forgive me for giving away their titles. Marion's is Napoleon Dynamite, a U.S. cult film that may not have made much of a splash on the British cinema scene. Pedro's is a Fellini title that's right there in his fourth line.

Oh blow it! I thought it was "Last Tango in Paris", but then I talked myself out of it!
OK, I'll re-count and give myself 2 out of 4.
Jayne
We cross-posted Chris. Napoleon Dynamite means nothing to me, nor does the Fellini film, so I don't feel quite such a dork now

Jayne, I agree with Chris, it's kind of fun to guess and have to guess. Anyway I left out my last title because I'm curious to see how many people if any recognize this underrated little gem, which I've seen about 3 times and never get tired of. (I see Chris got it - "Napoleon Dynamite")
Chris's #19-- "Spartacus"
