MOVIE QUIZ - BRAD PITT and SANDRA BULLOCK

800

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY 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 on one of the 2 lists that are linked following this paragraph, i.e. in which Brad Pitt or Sandra Bullock acted.  Both are IMDb movie lists.  I have seen all of the Brad Pitt's movies on the quiz but only 3 with Sandra Bullock, so although some of the movies can be identified from just the images that often just spell out the title, some may require you to either have watched the movies or be familiar with them or do a little research into them because the clues might 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.

Brad Pitt List Link -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls048497732/

Sandra Bullock List Link -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls021585167/

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 lists or web to make sure it is the full and correct name.  For example, and this will be important for all my quizzes, 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.  Just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie.  That is why it is important for you to check your answers with the lists to make sure they are correct.  As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies in which Brad Pitt or Sandra Bullock acted AND is on one of the two lists linked above , I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In some previous 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.  

A situation came up on a previous quiz where the movie list link I used came up with a different movie title than the one the participant opened although it was the same link, so if that happens, please tell me.  

Please number your answers the same as the questions.

NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS

There are a few tricky questions in this quiz where one of the clues could indicate a movie that is not a correct answer.  It is very important to take into consideration that BOTH clues are important and must match the intended movie, and as I've pointed out, the first clue is usually the more important one.  Where a clue could indicate the possibility of more than one movie, perhaps even be apparently obvious, the other clue must also match the correct movie, and so sometimes one should not jump to conclusions from just one clue.  If you have not seen the movie, which would make the answer clearer, it is necessary to do some research into the movies that the clue could represent.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - CHANGE OF CLUE

I have determined that a clue, in particular the second clue for question number 8 is misleading because the first clue is not strong enough to establish the correct movie and the original second clue would probably have more clearly identified the wrong movie.  In that case the first clue was not strong enough to establish the correct answer.  However that same situation may also arise elsewhere, but in such a case the other clue is stronger and indicative enough by itself to make the correct answer much more obvious.

Time is about half gone, and only 3 have participated so far.  However, from one or another it should be noted that no question is impossible to answer.  But PLEASE, take note that it is meaningful that I changed the Hollywood sign clue because it was misleading and was bound to lead to a wrong answer.

Okay, cinephiles, the time has come (as the walrus said) to close this quiz.  Having received answers from 10 participants, besides sincere encouragement from a couple of members, I've become more motivated and encouraged to continue posting quizzes.  This quiz was a little harder than previously, and only one player achieved a perfect score of 20 - Dig, who wins first prize.  Three tied for second place with scores of 19 - Veronica, Kathleen and Snuffy.  Coming in third two tied with scores of 18 - charger 383 and Perrie, while honourable mention goes to Jasper2529 who scored 17.  the other three were not far off.  Thanks to all who participated and congratulations to those who made the winner's circle.  Thanks as well to those who voted the quiz up and kept it on the Front (Home) Page.  Now, while awaiting my next quiz, check out the movies of Matt Damon and Kate Winslet.  See you again soon.

Here are the answers to this quiz, so those who choose politics over fun can see what they missed.

  1.  Gravity - apple falling on person's head & astronaut in space
  2.  A Fool and His money - a Medieval jester (Fool) & money flying away
  3.  Meet Joe Black - Death & birthday party for a 65 year old
  4.  Practical Magic - 2 witches & the curse
  5.  Inglourious Basterds - card on man's forehead & swastika carved into a forehead
  6.  A River Runs Through It - river fly fishing & good boy and bad boy
  7.  A Time to Kill - Father Time & a murder
  8.  When the Party's Over - 3 young women and a young man & a home in Los Angeles
  9.  Babel - a Winchester 70 rifle & a small bus in the desert
  10. The Mexican - a Mexican Sombrero & an engraved pearl-handled pistol
  11. Two If By Sea - Matisse & an Island where the deal is made
  12. Speed - a bus speeding & a bomb
  13. Moneyball - money & the Oakland Athletics baseball team
  14. 28 Days - February calendar & a crashed limousine
  15. War Machine - a war scene & a machine
  16. Wrestling Ernest Hemingway - wrestling scene & Hemingway's novels
  17. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - a case & a button
  18. Ocean's Eleven - the ocean & the Las Vegas Bellagio fountains
  19. The Blind Side - a blind man & football linemen
  20. Allied - man parachuting (start of movie) & woman spy

And just so everyone knows, the actors whose names I deleted when I broke my own rule in the comments above were Paul Muni and Louise Ranier.  So NOW is the time to discuss the quiz and movie stuff generally.

Been thinking that Matt Damon has been in too many movies that have been used for fairly recent quizzes, so I'm doing Morgan Freeman and Kate Winslet instead.  I can't remember if I've used them previously but it will have been long ago and I've probably picked mostly other movies they've been in for the quiz, or at least different clues.  I've already picked the movies, so now I have to seek and save the images for the clues.
