NEW MOVIE QUIZ - BACK TO BASICS
NEW MOVIE QUIZ - BACK TO BASICS
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 worked okay, 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. So give it a try, have a WHALE of a time and NAME THESE MOVIES.
Please number your answers the same as the images.

thinking about the clues
I'm somewhat disappointed that only 3 members have provided their answers, as I had two days ago personally notified 12 members who had participated on previous quizzes, and the questions are not impossible, as 17 of the 20 movies have already been correctly identified (some by one or another of those who tried).
Buzz I looked at the clues and not much of it was ringing a bell.
I think I know 9 or 10 of them. I will fill it out in a while.
It's getting harder to find movies I know and where clues are possible that are not too difficult or too easy with each quiz I prepare, so I have to reach a little farther every time or just keep repeating the same movies with different clues..
This quiz is not impossible - only one question has evaded being answered at this point.
Which is why I said to have a WHALE of a time.
Time to close off this quiz.. There were seven participants. The winner with a score of 16 out of 20 is Snuffy. Perrie and Kathleen tied for second place with 13 each, and Vic Eldred came in third with 12. Honourable Mention goes to JohnRussell with 10. The only movie that was not identified by at least one participant was number 19, The Music of Silence. Here are the answers:
1 Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home - space ship and whales
2, Free Willy - whales and harmonica (Willy came when he heard it)
3. Moby Dick - whale and peg-legs (Captain Ahab lost his leg because of the white whale.)
4. Whale Rider - whale and clipart of person riding a fish
5. The Terminal - JFK Airport and saxophone (autograph of sax player was Victor’s goal)
6. Charlotte's Web - spider web and young pig
7. The Last Emperor - young Emperor and The Great Wall
8. When Worlds Collide - colliding planets and large space ship
9. Copying Beethoven - Xerox and man with ear horn
10. The Last Angry Man in Brooklyn - angry man and Brooklyn bridge
11. Blazing Saddles - blazing fire and saddles
12. A Beautiful Mind - algebraic formula and a colourful brain
13. Spaceballs - space image and sports balls
14. The Devil Wears Prada - Satan and Prada fashions
15. Romancing the Stone - romance scene and a stone
16. Fly Away Home - Canada geese and ultralight aircraft
17. The Three Musketeers - 4 swordsmen and fleur de lis (symbol of France)
18. Tale of Two Cities - French and English flags and guillotine
19. The Music of Silence - singing man and Andrea Bocelli himself, who is blind, about whom the movie is a biography. Bocelli himself appears during the credits in meetings with the Pope, Queen Elizabeth and JFK.
20. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - 4 horse riders and scene of mass destruction
Thanks to all who participated.
