Colorful films

Posted on 03/06/2006 by Meryl Yourish

You think this week might go down in movie trivia history?

Look at the box office list for the top ten movies this weekend. Pay close attention to numbers four, five, and six.

  1. Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion
  2. 16 Blocks
  3. Eight Below
  4. Ultraviolet
  5. Aquamarine
  6. The Pink Panther
  7. Dave Chappelle’s Block Party
  8. Date Movie
  9. Curious George
  10. Firewall

I’m thinking that there may never be as colorful a movie list as there is right now. Of course, if you movie buffs out there want to tell me there were instances in the past, please do. I can think of a few movies with colors in their title (the most obvious being “The Color Purple”). Jump on in.

    Off the top of my head:

    Old Yeller
    The Red Shoes
    Where the Red Fern Grows
    The Big Blue
    Black Beauty
    Black Stallion
    The Yellow Rose of Texas
    The Red Pony
    The Red Planet
    Pretty in Pink
    Purple Rose of Cairo
    White Christmas

    And I could argue for Tequila Sunrise and Like Water For Chocolate.

    Yes, I’m a total Movie Geek

    Hmmm. I see now that you wanted instances where there was more than one colorful movie in the top ten, not just the names of colorful movies. Oops. Sorry.

    I can’t quote lists, only names. And I’m surprised I haven’t seen “Yellow Submarine” yet [pediatric whippersnappers, all of you]. But there was a trilogy of foreign films [I think French] simply titled White, Red, and Blue. Available at your local Blockbuster…
