New Quiz - The Worst Movies
THE WORST MOVIES
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS OR EVEN A HINT 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.
PLEASE, PLEASE , READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST QUIZ.
This time, besides the two image clues, the third clue is and it is REQUIRED that the movie MUST be one of the movies on THE WORST MOVIE RELEASED EVERY YEAR SINCE 1950, list linked below and posted by B EST L IFE. The list only goes up to 2017 but that's good enough for you to choose 20 out of 67 movies. Open and use the list to help you with your decisions and title accuracy. The release year of the movie is not necessary. For a good laugh, you should take the time to read the commentary about the movies in the article, it's hilarious.

Many of the movies earned Razzies (an award for the worst movies), some multiple ones, and some have been considered by famous critics such as Roger Ebert as being among the worst ever made. I have seen only 4 of them myself, so most of them can be determined just from the images without having seen the movies but some will have clues that represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to know the story or have seen the movie for the clues to be meaningful. It's possible that a couple of them have been included in previous quizzes, but these are all new image clues, and as usual I don't think any of them 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 knowledge of movies, web searching using web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating, but I suggest that you review the B EST L IFE list I linked to help you answer the questions.
Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz, and usually the order of the clues is important.
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but even if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked B EST L IFE movie list to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, 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 not sure of the titile. So just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is on the list linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide alternatives.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

I tried to come up with a quiz using Canadian actors, and I just couldn't get into it, but when I thought I had just posted the BEST movies, "What about the WORST movies?" and I looked at some lists and the one I chose was not only hilarious to read but I liked the choices. Lists of worst movies from IMDb, RANKER and Rotten Tomatoes listed some movies that I didn't think were bad at all so that's why I used the BESTLIFE one This is a fun quiz, more so than others, so give it a try and as always....
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT HERE, 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.
I forgot to say that the quiz will be open until Monday evening about 9:30 p.m. New York time, at which time it will be closed and the results posted.
This one will take some thinking
And some research as well for some of them.
I'll need every bit of it, as I don't sit through bad movies.
I actually watched 4 of the movies on this quiz, but a couple of them were SO bad they made me laugh out loud, so I didn't turn them off.
You have a strong constitution.
So does America.
I hope so.
It's after 10 p.m. and I'm heading for bed. I wonder if I'll find any PNs with answers in the morning - some of these questions might require a little more time than usual, but some should be immediately obvious.
I'm going to give it my best.
Have a good night.
I just logged on and saw your PN for a new quiz. This will be interesting/fun to do, because I usually don't watch "bad" movies.
Thanks again, Buzz!
I did, thank you.
Neither do I, but sometimes they're SO bad they're GOOD.
True!
A couple of those are on the list, if not more.
Woo Hoo!!!! I love bad movies. This one will be fun.
Ok, gotten most of them labeled now. Still have a couple to figure out but my granddaughter is calling...
But I won't admit to how many of these I've seen... LOL
I did.
Yes you did... ok, ok. from your clues, I've watched 16 of them. From the master list I've seen 54 of them. oy but I loves me bad movies. LOL
I'm only sure I've seen 4 on the whole list of 67, and I put those 4 on the quiz. I may have seen a few others but isn't the mind a wonderful thing in how it can cancel out bad experiences. LOL
I have seen way too many of these movies.
After studying the list, I can see many clues so I will give it a go on Friday and Saturday.
A lot of the English language movies they show here would also qualify for such a list and I don't have the patience to watch them Thankfully they also show lots of good ones, and lots of classics as well.
List submitted
Received and scored. Thank you.
I'm sure it will be.
I am going to be tackling this over the weekend.
I'm sure you'll enjoy doing it.
NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS: There has been at least one example of a technical glitch in sending your answers to me in a PN, which had somehow prevented my receiving them. Please note that from now on if you have not heard back from me within 24 hours of your sending me your answers please contact me again to make sure I got them.
Buzz
Answers sent in - come on people, get your guesses in now.
I'm stuck! Still have 3 more to go. So far I've seen only one of these movies. I'm hurrying!
You didn't have to hurry. The quiz is still open for 2 more days.
Old habits die hard. I don't like to have loose ends on unfinished projects!
Do you realize what you just did? LOL
No ... what did I do?
You made me laugh.
Received and scored. Thank you.
Finally done and submitted.
Received and scored, thank you.
At this point in time 4 have participated, and each individual question has been answered correctly by at least 3 of the 4, so none of the questions are (is?) impossible to answer. Two days left, so let's see some players.

Although I have already prepared the next quiz, ready to be posted, I am questioning myself as to whether I should continue creating these quizzes. [deleted]
Because I have to make decisions on whether or not to accept an answer that was not expected, sometimes I accept the alternate answers, and sometimes I don't and when I don't I try my best to explain why I don't. Drawing those red lines is difficult sometimes, but unfortunately a necessity. So what I would like to know is whether other members whom I notify feel as that person does, in which case there is no purpose in my continuing these quizzes. I would like to hear from everyone on my notification list and will be sending this message in a PN to all.
This is my answer in a private note to you my friend...
Hey, maybe I should do one, you think they would like to take on a quiz I could develop?
I've been waiting a long time for you to do it. LOL
You know brother, I may give it a try, go thru my stash of over a thousand movies and see what I can come up with...
I hope you continue the quizzes, but I will understand if you do not. It's a lot of effort to create the quiz and if only a handful of people participate it can get disappointing. Then to have someone drop that type of message can be disheartening. You have never been condescending to me, even when I only get half the clues right. And you have been talked into alternative movies when it's shown how the clues can point to another movie. It seems to me that the person who sent that is more the type to not watch a lot of movies, perhaps really only a specific genre or two. I think we should be thankful that the quizzes are not more difficult, I for one do not want a return to the quiz of "What's the Macguffin for these moves".. that was tough. LOL
No, I enjoy these and I do hope you continue with them. Thank you for the past quizzes.
And Congrats to everybody who participated, it was another fun quiz.
Thank you Snuffy.
Buzz -
Please don't be discouraged by the whiners and complainers. They obviously have very unhappy lives, don't know how to relax or have fun or use their brains, and constantly find fault with everything that they don't like.
I've never found you to be condescending or disagreeable. There were a couple of quizzes where I explained my choices, but you didn't agree. That was OK with me, because upon reflection, I realized that your explanations for not accepting my answers were valid. On the other hand, you agreed to give me a point when my answer on a different quiz wasn't what you expected.
Although I've been a member of this group for a while, I've only participated in a handful of quizzes. I wish I'd started sooner! To me, my "score" doesn't matter as much as the fun I have in solving the "puzzles" as well as the camaraderie and encouragement among those of us who like/love movies.
Now that I know how fun the quizzes are, I hope you'll continue!
Thank you Jasper.
I enjoy the quizzes
