ANTHONY HOPKINS AND/OR HELEN MIRREN CINEMA QUIZ
ANTHONY HOPKINS AND/OR HELEN MIRREN CINEMA QUIZ
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, MOVIE QUOTES 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.
Back to combining the films of an actor and an actress, and as before you didn't have to see those movies because all the answers are either obvious from the clues or they can be found on the two linked IMDb movie lists below this paragraph, or a mix of both. As usual, besides the two image clues, the third clue is and it is REQUIRED that the movie MUST be a movie listed on the linked IMDb movie lists of either 64 Anthony Hopkins movies or 21 Helen Mirren movies following this paragraph. I think I have seen only four of the movies on this quiz that I can remember, so, as always, some of the movies can be identified from just the images that often just spell out the title, and some may require you to do some studying of the linked IMDb movie list to find the answers or else it's a mix of both. I don't think any of the 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 knowledge of movies, web searching using web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating.
Anthony Hopkins Movie List (IMDb) LINK -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls076380033/
Helen Mirren Movies (IMDb) LINK -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls068252403/
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, obvious typos, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but especially 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 and you never checked your answer with the lists to make sure it is correct. Just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. That is only one of the reasons 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 on the IMDb lists linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In previous quizzes I did accept alternatives for the questions. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie name per question.
A number of times now a situation came up on previous quizzes where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant got although it was the same link, so if that happens, and usually it is a foreign movie, please tell me when I score your answers. Be careful to use ONLY the lists linked above , because there may be other similar lists that will not have the same movies on them.
SPECIAL HINT FOR THOSE WHO BOTHER TO READ WHAT'S ABOVE
This is the biggest reason for wrong answers. Although some of the movies can be identified by just one of the clues, some of the clues can apply to more than one movie on the quiz, so it is IMPORTANT to take BOTH clues into consideration.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Two Brits this time, both having been honoured by the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but both have starred in many a Hollywood movie - Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Helen Mirren. For this quiz I have used the British term "Cinema" A couple of the questions could be a bit more challenging than previously, but certainly not impossible. So let's see you start off the New Year with a little fun and give this one a try, but remember always...

As usual you will have a week to submit your answers. This quiz will be closed on Wednesday January 10th, 2024, at about 10 p.m. New York City time
Looks like fun
It will be.
We'll call this one "actors with class."
Well, okay, but they're not the only ones with class. That's not an invitation to suggest names - remember the primary rule.
Two greats!!! Should be a fun one!!
They're always fun.
Links opened ... paper numbered ... ready to go!
Thanks, Buzz!
And submitted
Received and scored, thanks.
looks like fun
It always is. I have no pity for those who are afraid (or just plain incapable) of doing it.
It's Friday morning, do you know where your answers are?
Friday afternoon, lets get back on the Front Page
Woke up (am I allowed to use that word the way it's SUPPOSED to be used?) this morning to see we're still on the Front (Home) Page.
I know where MINE are.
Happy Saturday morning, take a moment to have some fun!
Even I'm having fun, cause I'm already preparing the next quiz - a classic male actor.
Time for a cold, snowy, Saturday afternoon bump!
Time for a Sunday morning thanks for keeping us on the page. Only one person has played so far, but maybe the weekend will provide more time for the fun of playing.
Submitted
Received and scored. Thank you.
Submitted.
Received and scored, thanks.
Happy Sunday Morning bump. To those up in the NorthEast, hope you are all staying warm & safe, power remains on and hope that you are enjoying the first mosquito free day since April 1st.
A bump on any day, any season, is always welcome.

Got them and scored them, thanks.
It's Monday - time to eat the donuts and get your answers in
For me it's Tuesday morning, and I just ate my special oatmeal with a glass of orange juice and a mug of coffee.
I haven't had oatmeal since I was a kid.
I recently read an article about how healthy it is, so now I eat oatmeal twice a week instead of just once. I make my oatmeal quite delicious so it's an enjoyable treat. I had posted my recipe on a group here that no longer exists - 5 Items or less recipes.
Oh, Lordy, I posted two seeds today and pushed both my Laughter joke and this movie quiz off the Front (Home) Page. I hope someone will post a comment because mine have no effect, and only 4 members have participated so far with not much more time to go.
It's Tuesday morning for those of us here in the correct side of the date line (hehe) so get those answers in to Buzz. He'll like to see more answers. If you have questions feel free to PM me as I'm more than willing to share the correct answer for the toughest question on the list, number 27.
LOL
Tuesday morning with snow
So, show
What you Know
Comb your hair and take a wiz
It's time to do the movie quiz
Snow and rain
What a pain!
Movie quizzes
Make me smile again!
It's nice you took the time
To post a bump in rhyme.
Outside the rain is frightful
In here it's quite delightful
As it's all 'bout neat show biz
Take the quiz, take the quiz, take the quiz
This quiz is going to take a blow
Too many decided not to show
Now all will know it
That you're a poet.
Submitted with a Tuesday bump!
Received and scored, thanks.
Only a day left, only 23 hours to closing and only 6 have submitted answers - kind of disappointing at this stage of the game.
Only 6 so far? Very disappointing, indeed. I hope that we have some last minute participants!
With now less than 4 hours to go, that's the way it looks.
Sorry, I had the list numbered and was ready to do the research, but got busy, my help had been off the whole year so far and left me with little time. I'll go ahead and enter what I have, like only 4.
The way it appears at the moment, only 4 correct answers would still put you in the Winners' Circle and earn you Honourable Mention.
This quiz is now closed. The response is disappointing. At one time there were 11, then 10, then 9, then 8, then 7 and now 6 who have participated. Although I send notifications to 18 who have at least at one time or another indicated some interest in or support for the quizzes, only the most dedicated remain active. But I'm not surprised, because after all, what do I post that NT members care about? A few days ago I posted an article on English Literature on my New Jane Austen Society group and it succeeded in attracting one comment before it was wiped off the Front (Home) Page in a day. At that time I also posted an article about nutrition - why eating eggs is actually a healthy thing to do and the fears about increasing cholesterol are not so valid as to be concerning, and it attracted one comment and was wiped off the Front (Home) Page within a day. And also at that time I posted an article on the Creative Arts group about an amazing exhibition in which people can actually immerse themselves for an unforgettable experience and it gained only one comment and disappeared from the Front (Home) Page within a day. Obviously literature, the arts and nutrition are of little interest around here, and now for a long time even movies "move" only a few people.
Anyway, obviously the NT "culture" is politics, so enough lamenting the situation and here are the winners of this quiz, with those achieving a perfect score 20 in order that they submitted answers being Snuffy, Dig and Veronica. In second place sharing scores of 19 are Vic Eldred and Jasper2529. Third place goes to charger 383 with a score of 18, and Honourable Mention goes to bccrane who at the last minute submitted only the answers to 4 questions he had time to do, all of which were correct. I congratulate and thank all who participated.
Only because I know that whatever we post on NT can be seen by anyone in the world who searches on google or bing or other search engines, although it does not allow them to post anything unless they become members of NT, in the possibility that someone IS watching, and on their own guessing the answers, here are the answers to this quiz, along with identifying the clues.
Although I have all the parts for the next quiz ready to assemble, I've decided that for the time being my time is better spent watching movies than on the computer. I'll probably post my new quiz eventually, and will as usual let everyone on my notifications list know when I do. In the meantime, enjoy the front page articles here.
Thanks for another fun quiz Buzz. It's a shame so many are so caught up with partisan politics and refuse to take a moment to have a little fun. Enjoy the break and the movies.
Congrats and well done to all who played. We have a good time regardless.
It's no use continually begging those who prefer to taunt, troll and insult each other over divisive politics to take a break and play a fun game, Snuffy.
Congratulations to everyone who participated, and thank you, Buzz, for another fun quiz!
You're very welcome.
