A Magnificent Seven! A bar set high! What a time to be alive!
Oooooh, another toughie. I didn’t even recognize anything to guess at. I guess I’ll wait until Dix and Fraggle have worked their magic and see if I’ve ever seen any of the movies….
I’m sure you’ve seen at least a couple!
I’ll check back this evening and see if I recognize anything….
So, between Dix and Fraggle, I’ve not seen any of those.
I feel vindicated! 😀
You never saw Jaws? Kids today . . .
Nope, it never appealed to me.

15 is Sweet Smell of Success
It does look a bit like Dan from that pic, and you’ve got the right period. But it’s not Black Angel.

It’s been a while since that 😅
