RETURN OF THE CLASSIC MOVIE QUIZ
RETURN OF THE CLASSIC MOVIE QUIZ 
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 YOUR ANSWERS 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 MORE LIKE THE ORIGINAL QUIZZES, RATHER THAN THE GAMES.
For the answer to be correct, it is REQUIRED that it MUST be a movie on the linked SPECIFIC Harper’s Bazaar “THE BEST CLASSIC MOVIES OF ALL TIME” list located just below this paragraph. IT MUST BE THE ONE THAT LISTS 70 MOVIES . The visual clues represent a scenario or image that may be relevant to a scene in the movie or to the movie title or something important about the movie or what you may have remembered from watching the movie. I have seen all of the movies on this quiz, and since these are famous classic movies I will assume that you will have seen most if not all of them. I don't think any of the clues are actual screen shots from the movies and I might have used a few of them for previous games or quizzes. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and using google or web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating. The real challenge and fun of the quiz is using the visual clues to identify the movies.

There are other Harper’s Bazaar Classic Movie lists so IT IS NECESSARY to use ONLY the one that is linked above.
Note that I (almost) never use the same movie more than once in the same game. I said "almost" because I mistakenly actually DID use the same movie twice in the Pirate Movie Game, but caught it and replaced it when I got the first submission.
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. I can't believe how many times players do not bother and then lose score. 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. Previously I did accept alternative movies 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 who played the quizzes previously quit because of the rules. But I wish to ask if there is a quiz that does NOT have rules that must be followed?
A few times now a situation came up previously where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant got when they opened that same movie name 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
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

The return of the movie quiz, and Dune is not a hint for an answer. There is just too much political news overwhelming the internet and it’s time to take a break from it with a challenge that is fun, a worthy distraction from what has become the same old same old on NT.
No longer a simple game, but this time I’m giving you the challenge of a real quiz, and to succeed you will need to use your knowledge of the greatest of the classic movies, logic or just plain common sense. Some of the questions may be really easy and some may be hard, especially if you’ve not seen the movies, but no matter what, take your mind away from the news and the politics and let’s see what you’ve got. However, as always,

This quiz will be closed and the winners announced on Tuesday, February 25th at 10 p.m. New York City time.
Sounds good!
Looks good as well.
Alright
Yes it is.
Looking forward to trying!
Looking forward to your efforts.
Woo Hoo!!! looking forward to starting
Looking forward to your completing.
Apparently I haven't seen many older movies and if I did see it, it was just once and the clues may not help me much. But try I will.
Looks Good. I love a Challenge.
