Excellent, excellent contributions, no doubt arriving from a breathtaking cross-section of American Life. It's moments like these that make a blogger wish he knew his faithful readers in real life!

To keep the ball rolling, Harrogate turns to a couple of sequel sets:
A Fistful of Fingers
For a Few Fingers More
The Good, the Bad, and the Finger

and then:
48 Fingers
Another 48 Fingers

not to mention:
Raiders of the Lost Finger
Finger of Doom
The Last Finger

a few more singles, just to get everyone all a'tither and ready to trump all of these:
Romancing the Finger
From Russia, with Finger (Hat Tip claymation)
Single White Finger
When Harry Fingered Sally

Sin Finger (or Finger City)
The Little Finger
in honor of the holidays, A Finger Story (with the famous line, "I can't put my fingers down!")

And, of course,
Guess Who's Coming to Finger?

Ciao,

I have to give Kudos to a-reads for Fingering Nemo.
Thats funny shit.

harrogate, is there any room for muppets in the "finger" category?
Because:
Finger me Elmo
c'mon!

harrogate said...

Muppeteering would indeed seem an acceptable sub-category, claymation, to which Harrogate adds:
Finger the Frog and...
Finger Piggy

Speaking of Muppeteering, how does everyone feel about:
Fingering John Malkovich

harrogate said...

And who can forget Bruce Willis's groundbreaking performance in

Last Man Fingering

Or Drew Berrymore's light's-out romantic comedy,

Never Been Fingered

????????????????????????????

Hi Suzy,
Who is this Amy Reads, with her brilliant, absolutely brilliant homage to the best xmas movie ever made...she made my favorite line in the movie even funnier!

Huzzah! :) I would introduce myself, but Harrogate was much nicer about me than I could ever be.

"I can't put my finger down!"
"You can put your finger down when you get to school."
That shit is pure gold.


And of course, I immediately think,
"You'll shoot your finger out!" and "drink your finger-tine!" and "little orphan finger."
Also? sadly, giant finger lamp, when leg just isn't enough.
Ciao,
Amy
