COMEDY MOVIES QUIZ

 800

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, 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.  THIS QUIZ IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS QUIZ.  

This quiz will have only one visual clue per question, and the other clue per question is, and for the answer to be correct, it is required that it must be a movie on the first 100 movies, or first page of the linked IMDb list,  located just below this paragraph.   There are about a dozen similar lists with the same name so please use ONLY the one that is linked.  The visual clues represent words, scenarios or images that may be relevant to the movie title or can be found in the mini-synopsis of the movie on the linked IMDb list.  That means you will not have had to see the movie to identify the movie from the clue because you may not have seen the movies I've chosen.   I have seen only a few of the movies on this quiz and a few may have already been used in previous quizzes, and I may have used the same or a similar clue for one or two of them as I had before.  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.

Favourite Comedies (IMDb) LINK ->  https://www.imdb.com/list/ls091144064/?ref_=otl_5

NOTICE: The quiz movies are only on the first 100 movies, or on the first page of the linked list.

Be careful to use ONLY  this particular linked list because there are similar lists with the same title that do not have the same movies listed.

Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz.

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 list to make sure it is correct.  Just identifying the image 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 list 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 few 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.

Do not forget that BOTH the visual clue and the information from the linked list must be taken into consideration.  Not doing so is the greatest reason for loss of score.

Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Can't remember if I ever did a straight comedies quiz.  I know I didn't for the longest time because I didn't consider a lot of movies on the lists to be comedies.  Well, when I saw this list, with only a few movies I've seen and mostly movies I never heard of I decided to use it for a quiz.  Make sure you use ONLY the list I linked, because there must be at least a dozen lists with the same name and different movies.  A few of the clues are going to be tricky, but then I think that for a while the quizzes were SO easy everyone was getting perfect or near perfect scores and I guess I've become a little concerned that participants might start to get bored by them.  So let's see how you can do with this one, and remember always...

 PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES 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.

This quiz will be open for one week, and closed on Friday, February 23rd at about 10 p.m. New York City time.

I understand your feelings, but I'm not going to stop posting articles.  Keep in mind that although the general interests of most NT members could be quite limited, our articles can be seen by the whole world, one does not need to be an NT member to see them.  Microsoft Bing and Google will open our articles, but non-members cannot post anything on them.

Thanks for trying, but I just noted that we're not there.  Lots of new articles are being posted and thankfully the topics are mixed and not political, which I'm the last person to complain about, but they do have the effect of dominated the Front (Home) Page.

Just a little more than 4 hours left to closing, and only 6 have played, the least ever to participate.  Am I being told that doing the quiz is no longer fun, or worth while, so perhaps it's time to focus my attention on other matters?  I have the next quiz already prepared so I will post it, but if again there is so little interest, it is no longer worth my time to create them.
