View Full Version : name the movies..



Beowulf
29th-June-2006, 05:10 PM
As I was off work today I thought I'd re-catalogue my DVD collection. However, I thought this might make an interesting game for you to kill a few minutes (or hours or days depending on how many movies you watch.)

In the image below I have tiled 25 front cover snippets from some well known (and some not so well known) Movies. All you have to do is name the movies.

There are 5 rows of 5 images. each one worth 4 points for a correct answer or 2 for a "nearly but not quite" answer (100 in total) PM me your answers and I'll post a leader board. Don't post your answers here.. I'll just update the leader board once I have a few PM's from you guys.

Have fun

EDIT oh yeah if you number your answers 1 to 25 reading along each row .. so that the first image in row two would be answer number 6

Anyone want to trade answers?

you Need to ask 25???

ok here are some clues

15 - The power of Christ compels me to give you a clue on this one.
17 - If you can't get this you need a day off
25 - If we meet at a party I'll ensure I do this for you.

I'm doing most of this from memory with some help from Google as most of my quite small collection doesn't have jackets having been copied from TV (because I'm mean). Only #25 left and it is driving me mad, 'cos I know I will kick myself...

EDIT: PM sent.

On second thoughts, can we have a rule "no clues" - it'll be far more fun to trade off answers between us and race to see who can collect 'em all first :devil:

Ok.. Next round. Will keep the same leader board, so Just because LMC was so good if she doesn't get any of the next lot then someone could still overtake.

and I have 800+ dvds.. plenty of rounds to come I figure :)

Mark your answers GAME1 and GAME2. remember BOTH scores go towards the leaderboard scores

Deduct 6 from my score please - I had the three clues, so reckon those should only count as 2 each.

I may be competitive, but I also prefer fair play :nice:

Previous players can resubmit their answers. And Attempt the second set as well to boost their scores. Have another couple of rounds made up.. so I'll limit it to 4 rounds.. 400 points in total :) But I'll load them at intervals so people don't get swamped with all 4 at once :)

I'll have to think of a suitable prize for the ultimate winner ;) (suggestions welcome!)

"and at the third furlong it's Straycat264 by a nose, PMJD pushing hard in second, Azande in third and Icey and LMC battling it out for 4th. With Trousers, Gadget and CJ bringing up the rear. As they round the corner into Beo's Brook it's anyones race, The last Jump ( The notorious Water jump) could be make and break for some of these runners as they enter the forth and final furlong"

I thought (a) This would take longer and (B) you guys would find it harder.. but there's obviously some very squareeyed people out there.. or goggle is glowing red hot ;)

Will have to ensure the final one I post next week will have to be populated with my more obscure films. Sort the men from the boys sort of thing (and/or Women from the girls of course!)

Now that square.. is it Fong Sai Yuk 1 or Fong Sai Yuk 2? :wink:
