I got it right! Great teaser.
Very good. Didn't know the Morrie one so I couldn't come up with the right answer...
easy, but fun...thanks
Fun!! But I only knew FIVE out of SEVEN... lol.... Luckily I guessed right!!
Excellent! I got all of them! Great teaser!!
I got the answer! i lov it! good job and keep it up!!
That was a lot of fun, nice job, thanks
NOT BAD
Easy but fun. Enjoyed it, thanks for posting.
Easy, but I didn't get the Thursday movie even though I knew Thursday was the missing one from the group of days.
Very fun! Thanks for posting!
Blew me away, seriously...
Wow!!!! That was really easy. Keep them coming, my brain needs the rest.
I got the first six days easily, so I knew the missing one was Thursday but had never heard of that movie. I like short and easy; thanks!
I do not go to the movies, but I did know the first three. If you do not know the movies you cannot get the answer so I didn't.
I got 5 of the 6 very easily. Throgh the process of elineation I knew #4 was either Monday or Thursday and Monday just made more sense to me even though I had never heard of the movie.
Expecting anyone to come up with the missing movie was, in my opinion, unfair for several reasons; first: the movie you used was as you said "unremarkable" and given its age ,it is unlikely anyone but old movie buffs have ever heard of it
Secondly, according to IMDB, there are more than 20 movies that contain the word "Thursday" in the title, including three (3) whose name is simply "Thursday" (1998, 2006 and 2014) .
Other than that I enjoyed the teaser.

I'm not a big movie fan. The only 2 I knew for sure were Ash Wednesday and Saturday Night Fever. I guessed at a couple, but guessed wrong. But, I still came up with the right answer! Thursday!! I couldn't ever remember a title with Thursday in it. Dumb luck wins again!
I got Thursday using a couple guesses. It was ok. Kinda easy to figure out the theme
