MOVIE QUIZ - MERYL STREEP & SEAN CONNERY FILMS
MOVIE QUIZ - MERYL STREEP & SEAN CONNERY FILMS
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, HINT AT OR POST MOVIE NAMES 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 .
PLEASE, PLEASE, READ WHAT IS BELOW IN ORDER TO GET A BETTER SCORE. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS INTRODUCTIONS. I HAVE DECIDED TO BE MUCH MORE LENIENT IN MY SCORING AND HAVE DONE AWAY WITH MANY PREVIOUS RULES (BUT THERE STILL ARE RULES).
For this quiz, besides the two image clues, the third clue, and requirement, is that the movie MUST be one in which either Meryl Streep or Sir Sean Connery acted, and it could be any genre. Since Streep acted in about 64 movies and Connery acted in about 79 movies that limited number should help to zero in on the answers. None of the movies are TOO old, well, maybe one or two are, but at least most of them were very popular movies with a good chance that you've seen them. I have seen at least half of these movies myself, so for some of them the clues could be of an item or scenario that is a primary object in or otherwise indicative of or important to the plot. That might make the quiz a little more difficult if you've not seen the movie.
Some of the movies were included in previous quizzes, but even if so I tried not to use the same image clues, and as usual I don't think any of the image 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 movie memory, web searching using web programs that identify movies from naming the clues is cheating, but once you think you know the answer I recommend that you check to make sure it is correct. Participants keep losing points because they fail to do that.
THE RULES
You will not lose score for not capitalizing or using proper punctuation or correct spelling or adding an extraneous or leaving off a "the" or "A", but I will have to make a decision between your just naming what the clues are and the actual movie name. Just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie, which is why I recommend that you check to make sure the name is correct, because the images may only be a CLUE to the ACTUAL name of the movie.
Lately I've been getting two word answers when the movie has a single word title (like Dodge Ball, when the answer is Dodgeball). Because that could mean that all you have done is name the clues with no knowledge what the movie is so I may not provide a mark for such an answer. The same can happen if you make a two word actual movie title into only one word. If you would do as I suggested and check on the web with what you were going to post you would find out the correct name of the movie and not lose a point. .
Remakes of original movies with the same name will be acceptable (provided that either Meryl Streep or Sean Connery are actors in them). If you name movies that I feel the clues identify as well or better than the ones I used, I have been accepting them as good answers as well, although in the case of a specific actor quiz like this one I don't think that will happen.
TV programs and TV series such as West Wing are NOT acceptable answers, but I will accept TV movies like QB VII (which is an adaptation of a novel) or some miniseries if they are an adaptation of a novel that is too long for one episode and are spread out, like the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
If you're not sure, don't leave a blank but guess - you could be right. There are both hard ones to guess, and also easy ones, so give it a try and NAME THESE MOVIES.
Please number your answers the same as the images.

I've decided to no longer create quizzes restricted to a particular genre due to the fact that without the benefit of IMDb I will have difficulty scoring the submissions, fut will continue with other themes PLEASE read the intro - I actually do make chnages in them with a new quiz. Let's see how you can do with this one. Both actors are (were) fairly popular so lets see how can can due with respect to ths pair. But remember....
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, HINT AT OR POST MOVIE NAMES 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.

thinking about the clues
NOTICE: Due to the fact that I inadvertently posted a misleading clue for question number 18 I have changed the movie and provided new clues. Those who have already received a point for number 18 will retain their point and their score. Those who submitted their answers and did not get number 18 correct may check the new clues and provide a new answer for number 18, and if correct will increase their score. Sorry for my error.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS: I intend to close this quiz by this time tomorrow, so if anyone still wishes to play, please do so soon.

Thanks, now scored.
This quiz is now closed. Eight members participated and all got great scores. Three players tied for first place answering all 20 questions correctly, Charger383, Kathleen and Nowhereman. Split Personality took second place with 19,, Trout Giggles and Veronica tied for third place with 18 each and Perrie gets Honourable Mention for 17. Thanks to all who participated. Here are the answers for this quiz:
1. Goldfinger - a gold-coloured body & a yellow 1937 Rolls Royce limousine.
2. The Devil Wears Prada - a Prada handbag & models wearing Prada
3. Little Women - 5 sisters & a March calendar page (their family name)
4. The Rock - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Alcatraz Prison (Dwayne alone should have been enough)
5. Dr. No - black leather gloves (always worn by Dr. No) & a map of Jamaica
6. Julie & Julia - a cookbook & the flag of France
7. The Hunt for Red October - a person hunting for something & a red October calendar page
8. The Bridges of Madison County - a Madison County bridge & a photographer
9. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - man pushing an umbrella (to chase birds?) & the "Holy Grail" chalice
10. Entrapment - man stealing a painting & the Kuala Lumpur twin towers

15. The Wind and the Lion - wind blowing a tree & a lion
16. Finding Forrester - the Pulitzer Prize & a basketball in the net

I'm thinking of combining the movies of Al Pacino and Julia Roberts for my next quiz - both still alive and making movies. This one was too easy, so I'll try to make the next quiz a little harder to be a little more of a challenge.
