ROMANTIC MOVIES QUIZ
ROMANTIC MOVIES QUIZ
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES 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 ALWAYS A LITTLE 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 105 movies on the 105 BEST FRESH ROMANCE MOVIES Rotten Tomatoes list linked below. Open and use the list to help you with finding the correct match to the clues and making sure of title accuracy. The release year of the movie is not necessary.

I have seen every one of the 20 movies the clues identify myself so most of them will require you to either have watched the movies or been familiar with it because the clues will represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to know the story, but some will still be idenifiable by the clue images. Most of the 20 quiz movies are well known movies, and have been included in previous quizzes, but these are almost 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.
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 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 title. 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 one of the 105 movies on the list linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In the previous quiz I did accept a couple of alternatives. 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

The previous quiz was really too easy, so this one should be a little more of a challenge. However, almost all the movies are well known ones, and not too old, so you have that going for you. Use the linked list, it will help you score well. This quiz will be open until Monday evening until 9:30 p.m. New York City time, so you have the whole weekend to work on it. Give this one a try, and as always, please remember...

I see two, maybe,
lol.
There was a song during the civil rights era with this line in the lyrics - "Two and two and fifty make a million. We'll see that day come round, we'll see that day come round."
bump
Thank you. There's nothing like a good old-fashiioned bump.
Thanks for another fun quiz, Buzz!
You're welcome.
This one will take some thinking
working on the clues, I have figured some of them out
Keep up the good work.
Interesting, thanks Buzz. This one, while easier than your mcguffin quiz will take some thinking. Have about half of them so far...
Your record of being in the winners' circle is bound to continue.
Thanks. You were the first member to submit your answers which have now been scored.
Thanks
You're welcome.
Bimping (?) back to the front page for the day... still working on the clues, have a couple I've not yet figured out.
"Bimp" is a real word, although it's not my style . (scroll through the definitions)
I still have some to figure out, too.
Well damn, so it is. I prefer
Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry (Storrs, CT)
I was channeling my inner Chief Inspector Clouseau, lol.
So long as you weren't holding your minky at the time, you're ok... LOL
Thanks. I just saw that we're on the Front (Home) Page.
Whatever it means, it works here.
Chacus a son gout.
Did you mean a blanket or a monkey?
In the original, Inspector Clouseau pronounced monkey as "minky".
OMG. I'm not with it today. I just broke my own rule and allowed comments that refer to a movie or a character in one to stand, even made such a comment myself. However, this one time I will not delete what's been posted so far about Pink Panther movies or Inspector Clouseau because they are not included in the quiz or even on the linked list of 100. So PLEASE let's all stop doing that because I will start to delete such references from now on.
hehehe... we can be such a bad influence...
And bumping back to the front page. Come on people, the quiz closes Monday evening.
You guys sure led me astray.
Bumpin' to the Front Page on a Sunday afternoon while I solve my last 2 ...
If the whole title is "Bumpin' on Sunset" I just listened to it on bilibili.
Not that one. This one is just Wes Montgomery's "Bumpin' ". Smooth jazz.
So this isn't it? LINK ->
They are two different songs.
Answers sent in. Thanks Buzz, this was a good one.
Received and scored. Thank you.
NOTICE TO INTENDED PARTICIPANTS: There is now only a bit less than 24 hours left to submit answers before the quiz is closed, which will be Monday evening at about 9:30 p.m. New York City time. Only three have participated so far, which is somewhat of a disappointment. If anyone is reticent because they think they might be embarrassed by providing a low score, I intended this quiz to be more of a challenge than they have been, and no perfect scores or even almost perfect scores have been accomplished as yet, and although only one question has eluded everyone so far at least almost all are not impossible, and I don't think that one is either.
A few answers and some guesses sent in
Received and scored. Thank you. That makes 4 who have participated so far.
Bumping back to the front page as the quiz closes tonight. Come on people, these are fun.
Most NT members don't want to have fun, Snuffy. Their preference is to put down other members on political issues - to them THAT'S fun. Abouit 24 hours ago I posted a joke as an article, using my "Laughter is the Best Medicine" meme as the image for the Front (Home) Page. As a comment to it (the only one that was posted) I asked that if anyone enjoyed the joke, please vote it up to keep it on the Front (Home) Page. Only 3 members did so, and those three members are also members who regularly participate in these quizzes, so that is proof to me that the majority of NT members are just uptight single-minded with absolutely limited interests and those of us who actually indicate broader interests are very few on this site.
Submitted. Thanks again, Buzz!
Received and scored. Thank you. In about one hour I will be closing the quiz and announcing the winners.
This quiz is now closed. Seven members participated, a couple who usually did well on my quizzes told me they were passing on it, and so I wonder if it was felt by some that it was too hard and they didn't even want to attempt it. Jasper2529 wins first place with a perfect score of 20 out of 20, proving that all the questions were answerable. Coming in second was Split Personality with a score of 17, and tying for third are Snuffy and Dig with 16 each. Honourable Mention goes to Perrie who scored 13 just a half hour before closing.
The question only Jasper2529 could answer was number 17, one of the most famous of all classical romantic movies, An Affair to Remember. I know the old woman clue suggested that the movie could have been Amour, but an old woman wearing a shawl also was a clue for the grandmother of Nickie Ferrante (Cary Grant) and his grandmother's shawl was the item he delivered to Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) at the end of the movie when she was disabled and lying on her couch. However the movie Amour took place in Paris, and the second clue was the scene of the Mediterranean waterfront that you could see in the movie when Nickie and Terry were standing on the terrace of Nickie's grandmother's home, which negates the possibility of the answer being Amour.
I decided to ease up on the challenge, and I think everyone will like my next quiz better. I'm just preparing it now, and it will be called Road Movies Quiz. There will be a link to an IMDb list of 100 road movies from which the questions will be chosen. Hope everyone is looking forward to it.

My thanks to all who participated.
Congratulations to all who participated ... and thanks again, Buzz.
Agreed, congrats all. This was a fun quiz, thanks Buzz.
Many of the clues involved plots.
Which meant you either had to have seen the movie and remembered it, or had read the blurbs about them on the linked list or eleswhere. For many of the questions it was necessary to reach for the answer - "But a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for." (Robert Browning)
