How many of these can you answer correctly, given only a small, grainy, poor-quality screenshot of the movie? (enable javascript to play)
If you get stuck, here are the answers. You dirty, dirty cheater.

ReplyDelete(with a little help from IMDb to get the correct spellings...they really need some sort of fuzzy logic interpreter to take care of articles [like "the"] and duplicate titles ["Leon"? Seriously?])
It gave me 19, but my real score is 21. You're right, Kris, fuzzy logic is needed.
ReplyDeleteThere were a couple of films where I kept staring at the picture and saying, "I know this!" and when I read the answers, I said, "That's what I was trying to think of."
Alas.
Mwahaha! 23 on my first pass, before going to IMDb for spellings (which took me up to 27, but I needed hints for the last three).
ReplyDeleteWhat bothered me was the inconsistency.
I can understand "and" vs "&"...one is in the actual title, one isn't. And if you can't remember which, try one, then the other.
And I can understand "Leon", a by-their-rules spelling of the original title.
But, #8 uses the American retitle, so why not use the American retitle for "Leon"? Arguably the American retitle for #8 is better known (to English speakers), but so is the American retitle for "Leon".
Ah, but the one that REALLY bothered me was #27, which ISN'T THE NAME OF ANY MOVIE AT ALL! Grrr. Stupid stupid trial and error.
That's OK. The movie in #27 sucked anyway, so who cares?
ReplyDelete:-)
Let the flames begin!
No, I agree with you. All sizzle, no steak.
ReplyDelete21. Not too bad.
ReplyDeleteWho else was sure that #22 was Apocalypse Now?
That was my first guess also. What really got me was thinking that #14 was Twelve Monkeys. (squint squint)
ReplyDeleteStupid small low-res pictures...
