[caffeinated]

Time for another Movie Quiz, folks!

There are films from five decades in the quiz this week. Which ones can you identify?

Enjoy!

As usual, I'll post the answers Sunday morning.

3 is driving me nuts. I watched about 2 months ago. Can't for the life of me remember what it was, but this scene was so memorable! I'll remember it I hope.

3 & 4 are the only ones I know off the top of my head.
The others are harder...
Thanks Caff!

Got it. #7 almost threw me, but I had two guesses and managed to verify with Google. You had me wishing I'd wasted more of my childhood on 70's blaxploitation flicks, but it turned out I didn't need it.

Anybody get #5 yet? I figured that would probably be the toughest one this week...

 

[evilfrog]

5 and 1 are giving me problems. 6 is one of my favorites.

 

[caffeinated]

Number 6 one of the top contenders for my all-time favorite movie.

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Well, the soundtrack for #6 is pretty awesome. And yes, I managed to figure out #5.

 

[okwithit]

i know 6 and 7 and possibly 8.

3 and 4 look familiar, but I can't remember what the movies are.

Bumping and hinting...

#1: Having been transformed into a big pile of crap, Chet soon becomes repentant.
#7 is the second movie adaptation, (there have been three), of a particular Richard Matheson novel.
#6: Wanted in 14 counties and known as "The Rat."

Hope those help!

(Edit: Added quiz image so you don't have to go back to the first page to see it.)

12-hour bump. Any more players this week?

 

[technovapir]

Any hints for number 2? It's not looking familiar...
The others have me stumped. But I'm thinking....

 

[Elphaba13]

I seem to do better in the mid week mini quizzes lol

 

[caffeinated]

Any hints for number 2? It's not looking familiar...
The others have me stumped. But I'm thinking....

OK, here's a hint for #2: That's a houseboat being worn by a giant. It's the residence of an ogre with chronic back trouble, and his wife, Mrs. Ogre.

Here are this week's answers:

1. Weird Science
2. Time Bandits
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5. Serial Mom
6. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
7. The Omega Man
8. The Apartment

Thanks for playing!

I sucked this week haha

 

[caffeinated]

Unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot of participation this week. Am I going too obscure with the movie selection or the screenshots? Should I aim for more modern and/or mainstream films? Should I stick to using more iconic images from the movies I select?

For example, with Time Bandits I figured that if I used a screenshot of any scenes that included the cast of midgets, it would be a dead giveaway. Maybe I ought to have used a pic like that anyway?

Any feedback is appreciated.

 

[technovapir]

Hi Caff! I should have known them all this week, but I only recognized 2. I don't think the selections are too obscure. I think for me anyway, my brain is too full of movies, and I can't access the ones I haven't seen in awhile.
Also, the whole board seemed slower this week.
You could try a set of modern flicks and see if it makes any difference, but I like the level of challenge you're setting up.

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Well, I usually get in one post when I figure it out and then one or more posts when people seem to be looking for hints. I just need to find more creative ways to get my post count up. As to level of difficulty, I think it's fine.

If you postponed the Sunday answers, there might be a few more questions, nonsense and stuff.
