Puzzle Description:

1997 movie

#1: Donna McFarland (jade8114) on Aug 22, 2016

One of the easiest puzzles I have done. Still can't figure out the solution. I used: line, dash, and minus.
#2: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Aug 22, 2016
Not a clue.
#3: Jill Tallmer (yidl) on Aug 22, 2016 [HINT]
Donna, you are all but there.

The color counts.

There's a 2010 movie named B(e)ar.
#5: Donna McFarland (jade8114) on Aug 22, 2016
Still no clue (I stink at these types of puzzles), I have gone through Wiki's list of 1997 movie three times nothing with black (except Men in Black), white, as well as the ones I listed earlier.

you have written the answer in your comment, Donna.

?

Another word for dash is
#9: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Aug 22, 2016
minus
#10: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Aug 22, 2016
the title of this piece is "Mario's Mustache"
#11: Jill Tallmer (yidl) on Aug 22, 2016
Okay, this one is a stretch. It's an en dash, as opposed to an em dash (which would be even more of a stretch). So Donna had the right answer, she just didn't know it.
#12: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 22, 2016
I don't get it. ????? How do we get from Mario's Mustache to minus by dropping one letter?
#13: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Aug 22, 2016 [SPOILER]
(M) En in Black

Or Mario's Moustache, if you prefer
#14: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Aug 22, 2016
I thought the shorter dash was called an en, but it's called an en dash. So this whole puzzle isn't quite kosher. Sorry. At least getting the image didn't take too long, did it?
#15: Donna McFarland (jade8114) on Aug 23, 2016
You mean I actually got one? Better put that down in writing somewhere so I won't forget.
#16: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Aug 23, 2016
yes Donna, your process for solving the puzzle was perfect, but the puzzle was not as perfect as you were.

Or, if JT was very short and extremely wide, wearing a dark suit, it would be "Me in Black" :)

Good one, Bill!
