The Alternate Movie Title Game (Jack Lemmon Edition)

Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a Jack Lemmon film and ask you to name the actual film. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it!

1. Meltdown.

2. Tenderfoot.

3. Homage.

4. Enter!

5. The Witches of Greenwich Village.

6. Josephine and Daphne.

7. The Legend of Whiplash Willie.

8. Some Days You Win, Some Days You Lose. (This might be a hard one!)

9. Love and Gin Rummy.

10. Lobsters on a Train!

11. The Disappearance of Flight 23.

12. Ex-Presidents.

13. New York Ain't For Everyone!

14. The Leslie Special vs. The Hannibal Twin-8.

15. Father Tim.

    Kudos, Jerome, especially with Tribute--one of Jack Lemmon's seldom-shown movies!

      Well done! A formula movie, but I enjoyed the pairing of Lemmon and Garner.

      No, #9 is not Days of Wine and Roses. The others are correct, but were answered earlier.

    #8 Fire Down Below. The line is said by Tony after he discovers that Felix and Irena love each other. And #15 is Mass Appeal, where Jack Lemmon plays a priest.
