Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton Movie Quiz
Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton Movie 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 a movie in which Elizabeth Taylor or Richard Burton or both of them acted. I have seen at least 12 of them myself I intended this quiz to be easy in order to bring you back into the quiz fold, so most of the movies can be identified from just the images that in many cases virtually spell out the title. However, some will still require you to either have watched the movies or be familiar with them because the clues will represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to know the story or what the film is about. A few 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 web 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 movies in which Elizabeth Taylor or Richard Burton or both of them acted, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In the previous few quizzes I did accept alternatives. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie per question.
Please number your answers the same as the questions

I'm back - weathered a bout of Covid Omicron and survived and starting to feel good again. So it's time to gather the filmlovers for another quiz. Quite a while ago someone suggested I do a quiz with Taylor and Burton, so I've finally come up with one. Because most of the answers should be easy just from seeing the clues, this quiz should not be a really big challenge. Hope you will give this one a try, but as always...remember...
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.
Welcome back. Glad you've recovered and are back among the troublemakers here...
Will start working on this after I've had some coffee.
Thanks - glad I'm appreciated for being a troublemaker. Looking forward to your answers.
And submitted...
Received and scored. Thank you.
Really missed your movie articles!! Glad to see you back.
Glad to BE back - at my age with no vaccination I was extremely vulnerable but I've known for a long time that I have a really effective strong immune system.
Welcome back, Buzz! I'm very glad to know that you're feeling better. Thank you very much for creating a new movie quiz for us!
Thanks Jasper. Yep, feeling MUCH better, in fact very happy I survived. Movie Quizzes are back in business.
Indeed they are -- and with two of my favorite actors!
Then I expect you should score high.
I hope so!
You did ok.
NOTICE: I forgot to indicate when this quiz will be closed and the winners announced. Being quite a while since the last quiz, I'll leave this one open for a while in the hopes that it will attract more participants. Therefore this quiz will be closed Sunday February 5th at about 9:30 p.m. New York City time.
That gives me some time
Lots of it, but I know you don't really need it, you're just really careful.
So far four members have participated. The scores are completely varied, and the questions are NOT unanswerable, since each individual question got at least 2 correct answers, and most more or all. I think using actors instead of genres from a specific list better indicates the ability of the participants and is more of a challenge. Besides, over the years I've pretty well used up the more popular genres and even started stretching into the more esoteric ones. I'm already thinkng about my next quiz using actors.
Bump to the front page
Every little bump helps.
Really? Surely not.
Submitted
Received and scored, thank you. There are now a total of 7 members who have participated. I'm hoping for a record.
Bump! One more to go!
Still lots of time.
Bimp!
Bump with an accent?
Holy smoke, this has ALREADY been wiped off the Front (Home) Page?
Bumping again...
Keep up the good work.
Just to let everyone know, I'm already working on the next quiz, and it's going to be movies in which Denzel Washington and/or Whoopie Goldberg acted. (Black History Month is just starting.)
Good choices!
We're back on the Front Page now.
I'm going to post the new quiz right after I close the existing one. Against all odds I beat the covid omicron and we're back in business now.
answers sent in
Rest of you all take the quiz
Received and scored. Thank you.
You tell 'em, charger. They still have 3 days before closing.
Can't seem to keep this quiz on the front page. Guess I'll have to rely on the notifications that were sent out - and hope that those who've not played will do so over the weekend.
bumping again
And another bump!!
Thanks. We're back on the Front (Home) Page.
A bump in time saves nine.
Bumping back to the Front Page one more time for the laggards to get their answers in.
Looks like nobody wants to raise the participation to double digits. Oh well, 9 is still pretty good.
One of my dad's favorite proverbs ... (stitch).
Answers submitted.
Received and scored, thank you.
NOTICE: The quiz will be closed and winners announced in about 24 hours from now, so there is still time to play. So far there have been 9 participants, although I was hoping to reach double digits on this one, but 9 is very good and makes the time spent on the creation of these quizzes worthwhile (other than the fact that I happen to enjoy preparing them).
We need one more to make 10. try your smarts and luck
It is fun
A notification about this quiz was sent to 17 members who have either consistently or sometimes participated in my quizzes. 9 have played, which means there are still 8 at least who could have. It's been a whole week, so I guess many simply don't have the time or the interest for a fun challenge, although I've seen some of them spending a lot of time commenting on political articles.
This quiz has been knocked off the Front (Home) Page again, most likely due to Americans' fascination with Chinese balloons, and will be closed in less than 2 hours. Here is something to freak out the paranoid Americans - a lantern being launched in Chongqing. Who knows, it might accidentally fly over the USA.
This quiz is now closed. The one member who posted answers within a day was the only one who answered every question correctly for a score of 20 - so the First Place Winner is Veronica. Way to go, Veronica. Just missing out the top spot, but taking second place, with scores of 19 are Split Personality and Jasper2529. Coming in third is a three-way tie with scores of 17 are Kathleen, Perrie and charger 383. Snuffy gets Honourable Mention with a score of 16. The remaining two had scores that were very close to the Winner's Circle, so because all the scores were pretty good but spread out I think this quiz was the right formula.
I have already prepared the next quiz that I will post soon today, and it will use the same format. To honour Black History month it will be the movies of Whoopi Goldberg and Denzel Washington.
