Movie Guessing Contest!

Archive: 143 posts

Hey guys and girls. Due to some pressure from a select few movie lovers around I've kicked off another movie guessing game, this time with rounds and xp prizes.

The Objective here is Simple. Each round I provide 10-20 screen shots from random films. Your job is to try and identify the movies from the small screens. The first person to correctly name all the movies will walk away with a whooping 100 xp.

Guidelines
1. Do not name any of the movies in this thread! Even in a Spoiler Tag. If you think you have the answers send me a PM.
2. Even if you only know a couple of the answers you can still send in the answers. If nobody manages to name all the movies before the deadline the person who came closest will win.
3. The winner of a round will be omitted from earning any XP from the next round to keep people from racking up endless combo's. (You can still play if you want to, for kicks.)
4. Play fair and have fun!

are you sure someone is going to manage all 20?

Morrinn said its K to send him the answers you know... and then if you figure more out, you can send those. I dunno about looking them up on IMDB though :S... I suppose no one can't tell for certain so theres no way of stopping you ^^2009-04-23 16:51:00

Well, I have actually leaked a Backdoor virus onto into the BSS code so I have complete access to all of your computers and will definitely be checking your histories to see if you have been cheating on IMDb. (Btw, Pitcard, you are a dirty, dirty little man. And Walter, those donkey pictures? Not cool, bro.)

But actually, no, I have no problem with you guys using the Database. Just try and limit it to just looking stuff up, don't go seeking help and sharing the pictures or anything.

Round two is now complete. Nobody managed to guess all 20 correctly, but Zwollie came closest with 18/20. Give the bugger a round of applause... Or throw something icky at him if that suits your fancy.

Round three is now complete. Again, nobody managed all 20, but Cog again walks away with the prize for coming closest with 19/20. Honourable mention goes to V0rtex for having 18/20, tough luck, brother.

04-1984
13-Death at a Funeral
17-The Frighteners		2009-05-15 03:57:00

Fair enough. I totally guessed 1984 purely on the fact that the face on the TV screen looked like it was watching the guy I have never seen that film.2009-05-15 19:09:00

Huh.. I thought I had 16 correct also? Maybe it was because I only said Kill Bill and not volume one >_>...

Yeah - I wondered about this as well. And it couldn't be cuz I answered first, since I got my entry in about 5 hours before he announced the winner!		2009-05-16 16:32:00

Pitcard, he should have emailed you how many you got. If you did get 16, and EARLIER than v0rtex, I'm afraid we have a problem.2009-05-16 16:34:00

MORRINN. WE NEED A NEW ROUND.		2009-05-17 10:10:00

I am a massive idiot and I truly beg all of you pardon...

First off, I've been away on business and due to all the hectic schedule I've suffered lately I forgot to properly announce the hiatus in the game.

Even worse however was the huge mistake I made in the last round. Upon going through my inbox and cleaning out all the old messages I fear I might have deleted some fresh entries from Pitcard. All I noticed was a message I presume must have been adding to his original answers, and mistook it for his only guesses.

To rectify this error I will am going to ask Cartman to grant also grant Pitcard experience while still allow him to compete in R5, I hope this will be sufficient compensation along with my sincere apology.
Since I cannot confirm the winner, V0rtex will still be named the champion of R4, retaining his XP (Since it would be unfair to subtract it at this late date), the condition being that he'll have to abstain from entering R5.

I hope this will appease everyone, if there are any objections, please let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I am at the moment compiling Round 5 which will go up tomorrow. Stay tuned.		2009-05-21 19:07:00

We're all human.... well - except for a few of the members here. (j/k) I think that's an excellent compromise for the dual winners. Very fair of you I think.

Can't wait for Round 5.... I'm hoping I can do better than 12 this time around! I do have to say I love the range you put in the films. Really fun game!		2009-05-21 19:13:00

Aaaahh... that seems acceptable to me. But it does bring up a question. In the future, what will be the resolution for another tie?

In the case of a tie, the one who answered first will be considered the victor.
It's only in this case that we're forced to compromise due to an error on my behalf :<

Another note; winning a round will exclude you from earning prizes in the subsequent round, but you are still free to participate for fun 		2009-05-21 20:20:00

Boy, am I glad this round comes after my win! I am a solid 0/10 on this round. The animation that I generally see is mainstream, Disney/Pixar, kids fare. And less and less of that as my kids have grown out it.

But... since I am not eligible anyway, I shall cheat. :eek: I have a buddy for whom animation (especially obscure anime) is almost an obsession. I'll have him feed me the answers! I'm curious to see how well he does.

Good luck to the rest of y'all!!		2009-05-23 19:23:00

Doh! The two that I didn't get were Ghost in the Shell: Innocence and Wolf Brigade, but I've actually got Innocence on dvd at home and all >_>

Ah well, good job Gravel.

Akira is by far my favourite out of those. Closely followed by the 2 Ghibli ones.

Oh Morrinn, you should do a Horror movies round at some stage 		2009-06-01 14:07:00

uhm, high noon is like a minute or two, shadows @ noon are short or non-existent, the sun doesn't really penetrate all the way to the floor of deep chasms... so therefore, it would be a shadow amongst shadows or indistinguishable from the others around it, or perhaps even "lost". Let simmer for 5 minutes. Pepper w/Led Zeppelin norse lyric... decoding of Gravel-speak.2009-06-01 15:40:00

I understood it before the breakdown..... is that wrong? But I am confused about living in paradise if "he comes from the land of the ice and snow"? I do too but paradise isn't a tag I'd use. lol

btw - Congrats Gravel! Turns out I've only seen one of those films so I don't feel so bad about not knowing them. Bring on the next round!		2009-06-02 05:23:00

Which one's that? If its not Akira... GO SEE IT NAAOOWW

Seriously, its generally considered the best animated film ever. And there's good reason for it.		2009-06-02 19:07:00

Akira is great... no doubt, but after that, it was the first Ghost in the Shell that had me picking gum and sticky popcorn crumbs out my jaw as I scooped it up off the theatre floor... Grave of the Fireflies, is another great anime known for it's emotional scope (sad) and sepia tones.

I whole-heartedly suggest LAIN:Serial Experiments, Iria (somethin-somethin Zeiram the animation), Haibane Renmei, and Cowboy Beebop! for cool episodic fun...(For great art I love; Voices of a Distant Star; 5 centimeters per second... which looks very much like selection #4 from the quiz; Magnetic Rose ( which i haven't seen yet and got it wrong))

Incidently, it was a good genre for me, I've got 3 cats named; Ryoko, Ayeka, and Tenchi all named after Tenchi Muyo! characters and have several cels.

Ya know, I was thinking about you Vortex the other day... you & anime.

There is no denying there is a cultural gap in the art, language, and most predominantly in how the story is told. I find every time I watch a particular anime, it strikes me in a completely new and different way. I am always 'adjusting' my understanding of the story with each and every viewing... it really is quite an amazing thing. Therefore I would suggest finding a film or subject matter that you find an emotional tie too!

Good Luck to all next week!		2009-06-02 20:37:00

Yup - Akira was the only one I've seen. I got into Lodus Wars, Vampire Hunter D, and Vampire Princess Miyu though. None of which were in the contest - probably for good reason but I like them 2009-06-02 20:42:00

Good to hear

Virtually all the Ghibli movies are worth checking out. I'd probably start with Spirited Away, as it had the most commercial success. I really should check out Grave of Fireflies, it sounds awesome.

I really liked My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Pom Poko. They all deal with environmental issues, and all manage to leave an emotional impact. Not to mention being incredibly cute.....errr not that I'm into that kinda thing, right?		2009-06-02 20:49:00

Wow, epic bump, though, before a mod locks...this from Morrin earlier:

"Thanks for the kind words and encouragements though, they are well appreciated. Job hunt goes okay but things are tough. I'll be fine though, no worries
The movie quiz might continue one day, I'll be sure to keep you posted, brother.

No worries, I won't be locking today even thought it was a legendary thread resurrection. One for the books, certainly.

In all seriousness, I was a big fan of this thread before even thought I just dropped by from time to time to have a peek. I'd like to see it come back anytime Morrin would see it fit.		2009-10-29 19:03:00
