Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answers: Seeing Red

The Red Shoes (2005 film)Image via Wikipedia Those of you who thought the first Stump the LAMBs movie trivia question was hard should be comforted to know that by trying to make it hard for you, I made it extra hard on myself. Several of our LAMBs came up with movies that not only weren't on my original list; I hadn't even heard of some of them. This caused me to chase all over the Internet to confirm runtimes and the presence of red shoes and boots!

See the bottom of this post for the next question. There's only one right answer, so it fits in nicely with my new goal that the question be hard for you and easy for me. ;-)

Some of you submitted less than six movies, which means you can't win. But I gave you a link just for trying. Several of you missed the runtime restriction, which disqualified some of your entries. And only one of you fell into my The Wiz trap. I had hoped to fool more people about the fact that Dorothy actually wore silver shoes in The Wiz.

Here's the question again:

There are at least seven movies that feature one or more red shoes in the plots and/or the titles and fit within these parameters:

• They can be cable, TV or theatrical releases.
• They must have run times of 100 minutes or longer.
• They cannot be animated.

Can you name six of the movies?

Here are my original answers:
  1. Red Shoe Diaries: The Movie
  2. Return to Oz
  3. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
  4. The Red Shoes
  5. Bunhongsin (The Red Shoes)
  6. Oz (1976)
  7. The Red Sneakers
And here are your answers, with qualifying movies in bold:

  1. The Red Shoes
  2. The Man with One Red Shoe (disqualified: only 92 minutes)
