A NEW MOVIE QUIZ - AN EASY ONE
A NEW MOVIE QUIZ - AN EASY ONE
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
The two-picture clue system still works well, so here we go again. Same as previously, the symbols or pictures represent either the title of a movie or an important item or aspect of it or is in some way representative of it. None of the image clues are actual screen shots from the movie films and I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your movie memory, web searching is cheating anyway. Some of the questions are about relatively well known movies, but some classics and lesser known ones are included. A few of the movies may be repeats - ones I've used before, but with different clues. With many of these if you just say what the pictures are out loud you've named the movie. So give it a try and NAME THESE MOVIES.
Please number your answers the same as the images.

You're all going to get a good score on this one - on many of the questions you only need to say out loud what the pictures are, and you've said the answer. But remember.....

Can I just say that you have an eclectic taste in movies?
I've returned my answers.
Yes I do, although there are 5 movies on this list that I have not watched. You did quite well this time, better than ever.
Five members have already tried this quiz and all have gained good scores. The only movie that has not yet been identified is number 7. Obviously this quiz was not an impossible one to do well, and to have fun doing it.
Thinking about the clues
OK, I finally finished one, but I probably don't have them all right.
At this point in time, 8 members have tried the quiz, and all got BETTER than a just passing score. As well, every question has been correctly answered by someone or other, the toughest ones by at least two members, so the quiz is not impossible to get a good score. I will leave it up for a couple more days because there are still a few who have played previously but have not yet tried this one.
I'm really sorry that a lot of members whose interest seems to be strictly politics and little else don't venture onto something different, but everyone has limitations, don't they.
Tell me about it.
I liked this quiz, Buzzz. It wasn't too hard but it still made me think
Yeah, thinking can be fun. More people should try doing it.
This quiz has been up for a week and it's time to close it off. First of all, my congratulations to Perrie, who got 100% - correctly identified every movie. Sandy took second place with 17 out of 20, and Snuffy came in third with 16 correct. Honourable Mention is split among 3 with 15 each, JohnRussell, Trout Giggles and Kathleen. However, everyone else still got BETTER than a mere passing mark. I was really glad to see such success. Those who have tried previous quizzes but not this one, all of whom I notified about this one, have missed having a lot of fun and some exercise for their brains. Unfortunately, one member did not participate out of spite because he/she was angry I caught them doing something sneaky to disobey rules. Here are the answers:
1. The Texas Chain Saw Murders - map of Texas and chain saw
2. Flowers for Algernon OR Charly - Flowers and mouse in a maze
3. Raging Bull - boxing gloves and an angry bull
4. Spider Man - spider and a man image
5. The Princess Bride - princess and a 6-finger hand
6. Maze Runner - a maze and a person running
7. Star Trek - a star and a person hiking ("trek" is a synonym for "hike")
8. Shutter Island - window shutters and an island
9. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - a girl image and a dragon tattoo
10. American Psycho - American man and a man in a straight jacket
11. Saving Private Ryan - putting coin in piggy bank and a private's rank stripe.
12. Fight Club - people fighting and a club
13. American Beauty - American man and a beauty queen
14. Lady and the Tramp - classy lady and Chaplin's famous tramp
15. Dead Man Walking - corpse and man walking
16. The King's Speech - crown and microphone
17. Wizard of Oz - ruby slippers on yellow bricks and a broom
18. Duck Soup - a duck and a bowl of soup
19. Blade Runner - a razor blade and a man running
20. Water for Elephants - bottle of water and elephants
My thanks to all who participated.
