This trivia question is really not about trivia per say, it is about entertainment. This question is about the bastion of American entertainment, the bulwark of American values, the epitome of cool, the apex of modern American culture. I am talking, of course, about Billy Joel. Or more precisely, his song "We Didn't Start The Fire."
We Didn't Start The Fire is a song where Joel, in a stream of consciousness style, spits out essentially a chronological list of specific events, names, and places, beginning in Joel's year of birth. Basically he is saying don't blame his generation, it was screwed up before them and will be after them.
So I guess you are wondering what kind of question I could come up with using this song, which made VH1's list of 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever? Well here it is. Name as many movie titles as you can from the lyrics to "We Didn't Start The Fire" whether intended or unintended by the author.
Rules: The full title of the movie must appear in the lyrics. Only theatrical movies (either domestic or foreign), no mini series, no TV movies. A theatrical movie is valid if it is in IMDb.com AND shows a "credited cast" of actors.
For those who don't remember or haven't heard the song, here is a link to the lyrics. By the way, I found 30. Of course, Drew Carey Bonus Points if you find some that I didn't. I think this may be more fun if everybody sent thier list to me via email and I will post the results in a couple of days.
Welcome, Foolish Mortals!

Do documentaries and shorts count?
I've just found out that I have way, way, way too much time on my hands. I just think I found 50 title in the lyrics. Ummm, can anyone say "Get a life Kim"?
I'll send the list through email for approval by our #1 Movie Man.
I check Kim's list and I am giving her credit for 49 movies. She is in for a ton of Bonus Points.
