I can think of a few... Samurai, perhaps? (I don't get 'Girl' in there.)

It's not Samurai. Perhaps you're not paying close enough attention to punctuation.

Oh, heh. Actually, I did think of that, but couldn't figure out how to answer it.

``punctuation'' refers to TS's use of commas.

how about ``1/2''?

"1/2" was my intended answer, since I believed that 8-1/2 was the most well-known movie that fit. The "MM" seems to be the second most popular answer, though.
