Strangely, Office Space is Not One of the Movies


This is fun: Popular movies, re-enacted by office products. Can you guess all 20? Off the top of my head I got 15 of them, and the other five will probably drive me nuts for the rest of the day. How did you do?

With over 10 Million mp3 files and High Quality movies... the movie collection is amazing.. from Movie Buff to Movie Buff.. it is definately worth checking out...

    Ack!  I got 17.  I'm stuck on the person getting run over, the things in the road and the five staple removers...  

    Yup.  I'll be openly weeping by dinner time.

    Well, I got 18 straight off. Still stuck on the 4 staple removers, and the stationary products in the road. Not Jaws IV or Convoy...

    I got 15 of them as well. I wonder if they are the same 15.
