ROBERT DUVALL MOVIE GAME - THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
ROBERT DUVALL MOVIE GAME - THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A P.N. (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.
PLEASE, PLEASE, READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. PLAYERS ARE STILL LOSING SCORE FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.
For the answer to be correct, it is REQUIRED that it MUST be a movie on the linked IMDb Filmography list of the 93 movies of Robert Duvall located just below this paragraph. The visual clues represent a word(s}, scenario or image that may be relevant to the movie title, or it may be word(s) relevant to the movie title that can be found in the mini-synopsis of the movie on the linked IMDb list or there may be questions where the clue is one you might have to relate to a title through your own memory, common knowledge or common sense. You will not have had to see the movies or even know the stories to identify the movies from the clues, which is why this is a game more like a treasure hunt than a quiz. I have seen only 7 or 8 of the movies on this game, and I may have used some of them in previous quizzes or games, and I might even have used the same or similar clues for some as I had before. I don't think any of the clues are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your ability to find the answers, web searching using AI, google or web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating. The real fun is the searching in the game is using the visual clues and mini-synopses required to identify the movies and what feeling of accomplishment are you going to get by cheating, so test YOUR skill, not the web's.
Robert Duvall Filmography (IMDb)
LINK -> Robert Duvall Filmography
There may be lists with the same or similar name but with different movies, so IT IS NECESSARY to use ONLY the one that is linked above.
Note that I (almost) never use the same movie more than once in the same game. I said "almost" because I mistakenly actually DID use the same movie twice in the Pirate Movie Game, but caught it and replaced it when the first player advised me..
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, obvious typos, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but especially if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked list or web to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, and this is important for all my games, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are just guessing and you never checked your answer with the list to make sure it is correct. Just identifying the image does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. That is only one of the reasons why it is important for you to check your answers with the list to make sure they are correct. I can't believe how many times players do not bother and then lose score. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the ones I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies on the IMDb list linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. Previously I did accept alternative movies as good answers for the questions.
Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie name per question.
A few who played the games when they were quizzes previously had quit because of the rules. But I wish to ask if there is any game that does NOT have rules that must be followed?
A few times now a situation came up previously where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant got when they opened that same movie name, although it was the same link, perhaps because we are in different countries, so if that happens, and usually it is a foreign movie, please tell me when I score your answers so I can correct your score.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Surely many NT members are starting to tire of the Trump Trump Trump and the politics politics politics day after day after day, so here's an opportunity to take a break from the usual usual and have a little fun for a change. Everyone who plays the movie game says it's fun. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SEEN ANY OF THE MOVIES TO GET A PERFECT SCORE. That's because it's more of a treasure hunt because all the answers are available from what the game provides to you - most important, the clues can provide the answers just from logic or from what's posted in the linked list.
I'm not sure if I've done a quiz or game about Robert Ducall before, but to honour him and in memory of his great acting career, this game is dedicated to him. So if you want to play, make sure you read the quiz article first so you know the rules - EVERY game has rules, so you'll need to know them.
Give it a try, but make sure of this PRIMARY RULE:
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT HERE IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A P.N. (PRIVATE NOTE) TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
This quiz will be closed and the winners announced on Monday, February 23rd at about 10 p.m. New York City time.
Will be fun
It always is.
Cool. Thanks. Posting here to mark the seed.
Every mark helps.
.
Even that one.
!
I think i know what movie that is, but I don't want to spoil this quiz for anyone so I won't post my guess publicly!
Good thing, because then I'd have to delete it and you would resent it even though it's the primary rule for the games, and you would act like an asshole forever after. There is an example of that.
OMG-- that sounds scary!
Just follow the rules, and there is no reason to be scared. And if you do inadvertantly (or even intentionally) break a rule (and even I have inadvertantly broken the primary rule) don't react like a child, but take it like a man.
ATTENTION PLAYERS
Due to an error on my part I have posted a new clue for number 14. Anyone who answers based on the original clue will be given an opportunity to change their answer.
I didn't have 14 yet, so I'm still good to go.
Everybody is good to go.
And submitted. Thanks Buzz, another fun game.
Received and scored. Thanks for playing and for the benefit of those too afraid to try, saying that it is fun, which I've been trying to provide to all.
Except for one or two trickier questions this game is easier to get a top score than any quiz or game I ever posted. In most cases the correct answer comes off the page and bites your nose.
Ouch!
Submitted
Noseless in DFW
Received and scored, thanks. DFW? Dallas Forth Worth?
Welcome to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
I've been at the airport 4 times in my life - two different trips to Dallas and area.
Submitted.
Received and scored, thanks.
Working on them
Keep up the good work.
Just three more to figure out, but have been pressed for time, too many irons in the fire. I was starting to worry about keeping the business doors open and now I am swamped.
Oh yeah, and a bump up.
A bump is always appreciated.
No problem. Still 4 more days.
Sent them in
A fun exercise for the brain
Got them and scored them. Thank you.,
Won't be back until Monday so I will submit what I have on Monday morning.
And another bump up.
The reason I don't close the games until Monday nights is specificallly so you would have a chance to work on it and post your answers, because you once told me you don't have the time until Monday to play the game.
Thanks for the bump. With all the freaking things Trump is saying and doing it's hard to keep anything else on the Front (Home) Page.
Roughly 30 more hours to play a fun game, give it a try.
Only 5 have played so far.
Submitted.
Receiived and scored, thanks.
Submitted
Received and scored, with thanks.
It's now time to close this game and announce the winners. I'm happy to say that my goal of at least 8 players has been reached, assuring that the movie games will continue. Answers earning GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE were achieved by the players, and nobody scored less.
Those who achieved perfect 20 scores, winning the GOLD, are Dig and Vic Eldred. Snuffy, charger 383, bccrane and Kathleen each won the SILVER with scores of 19, while Split Personality and Perrie each got 18, sharing the Bronze. My thanks and congratulations to all who played, all who earned their medals. Thanks also to those who commented and voted up the game to help keep it visible on the Front (Home) Page.
With the political news being so hot these days it's hard to compete, but if any of the members who didn't play come to the conclusion that it might be a brief respite from the awful news of the day, i.e. who would like to have a little fun for a short break, here are the answers, with the clue descriptions, for the 20 questions above. Read the rules and compare the answers with the clues and the IMDb mini-synopses on the movie list to see how the game works. Then, as the deli waitress told you when she served you a dish of kishka: "Try it, you'll like it."

Enjoyed it Thanks
I enjoyed creatng it.
Congrats everybody who played, we all had a good time. Thanks Buzz, another fun game.
Checking it out for the next one. It's just that I wish more NT members would give it a shot, but most must be afraid to take a little break from arguing and fighting over politics to have a little fun. I've even thought of using IMDb's list of Donald Trump's filmography combined with that of Ronald Reagan or Mel Gibson to interest them. What do you think?
Would be fun just reading thru the comments on that one. While I don't think it would increase the number of people playing, it would definitely increase the volume of comments and the never-ending comparison on which one is truly the Anti-Christ. LOL
Okay, Snuffy, I decided to do it. But I don't expect all the comments to be positive.
Had a good time!
Thanks. Wish more would realize that.
HEY!!! Where did you go?
