18:

yatzee + ding + hill + bert + grey + pe = What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

know the other two, but not the words.

[planet_buzz]

ise

[Lucky Wizard]

18B ? + one + divide + (h or o)
18C sphere + ? + ? + in-laws + ?

[makemeok]

18c. sphere + antler + thing + in-laws + wages = FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS

[Sami]

One Skunk Todd, hams and sud were right; the other words were wrong.

And a new one:
19. some skulls are this [4] + something your mom gave you [5] + Milne's pessimist [6] + 5/26 [1] = [6 6]
knock over [6] + sphere [4] = [8]
disagree [6] + tree spirit [3] + future-making word [5] + tell before it's time [4] + something you do with an anchor [5] + avoids [5] = [12 9]

[Sami]

18b. dawn+one+demarc+o = Don Juan De Marco
answer = Johnny Depp movies

[Orbiting]

19.A) numb + ? + Eeyore + ? = ?
B)
C) argue + ent + ? + leak + weigh + ? = ?

[Sami]

Orbiting, all good except for argue

[makemeok]

19. numb + birth + Eeyore + ? = NUMBER THEORY?
topple? burgle? holdup? thieve? + ball? = ?
differ + ent + shall + leak + weigh + shuns = DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

[Sami]

OK, I blew 19B. Instead of "sphere," think "S-shaped." Sorry everyone.

[Orbiting]

OK - I can't finish 19, but I like this game, so I'll add #20.
Somebody please solve 19 (still live).

20)
a) unable to speak or hear (4,3,4) + following (5) + one who acts like a bunny (6) = (3,7,2,3,5)
b) car lifter (4) + launched 1000 ships (5) + looked at (4) = (6,3,4)
c) psychoanalysis (7) + people who drill (6) + HyToFry, or a common garden implement (2 or 3) = (3,5,6,4)

Solved:

a) deaf and dumb + after + hopper = The Phantom of the Opera
b) jack + helen + eyed = Jekyll and Hyde

[Sami]

I guess #19 was given up on. makemeok got a) and c)

b) is topple+ogee = TOPOLOGY .

[Quailman]

Where do you get OGEE from sphere?
1 : a molding with an S-shaped profile
2 : a pointed arch having on each side a reversed curve near the apex -

[Sami]

I corrected that in a later post
