This is our 5th edition of this type of quiz. The rules are easy: Name each film below based on our vague description. Be sure to include the question number with your response. Please don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is one film that is the single best answer to each description.
1. A guy trying to make it as a tobacco farmer romances three women.
2. Two guys dress up like girls and lip sync to a record to buy some time.
3. Honeymoon couple unwisely accepts an invitation to a masquerade ball.
4. Sort of a predecessor to Kramer vs. Kramer--and the lead only sings the theme song.
5. A mermaid and a sweet girl are both attracted to a bone-headed guy.
6. In this 1960 film, a woman goes to a hotel and vanishes. Her sibling investigates. Oh, and it's not Psycho.
