Tagline Trivia!

Hey Folks,

To make up for the lack of posts for the last couple of months here is a little trivia quiz for you all to enjoy. Try to identify the movies that these taglines belong to.  What is a “tagline” you ask?  Well according to Wikipedia a tagline is:

A tagline is a variant of a branding slogan typically used in marketing materials and advertising.  The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a brand or product (like a film), or to reinforce the audience's memory of a product.  Some taglines are successful enough to warrant inclusion in popular culture.

In the case of motion pictures they are normally associated with the movie’s promotional posters, but they can, and often are, used in other forms of advertising.

Here is some additional information to assist you in trying to guess what the movies are:

• None of the movies are obscure.  That doesn’t mean they were all good necessarily, but you will have hear of them and /or they all star actors and actresses familiar to most people.
• None of the movies are sequels.  For example, if you think one of the movies below is one of the Indiana Jones films, then it would have to be “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
• The movies are listed in order by release date (US wide release date to be exact, as defined by Wikipedia). For example, Movie #1 was released on March 2nd, 1990 and Movie #2 was released on, or after that date.  Movie #3 was released after or on the same date as Movie #2, and so on.  Movie #55 was released October 15th, 1999.
• Lastly, every year (1990, 1991, 1992, etc.) is represented in the list and there are multiple movies for each year.  The distribution is not exact (some years are better represented than others), but each year is represented by at least four taglines.

Post your answers in the comments and I will eventually post the answers there.  Also, don’t cheat and Google the answers.  That is no fun.  Just see how many you can get on your own.
