Movie Quiz 44

[caffeinated]

I've got a themed quiz for this week: Movies Involving Time Travel. Although not all of the movies are entirely about time travel, it is featured prominently in each film.

There are eight screenshots below, most of which should be fairly recognizable if you've seen the movies. So, which of these movies can you identify?

Please answer with movie numbers only, not titles..

Happy Friday, and good luck!

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

Got 'em. Thanks caff.

Only 4 this week. I'm slipping!

 

[Elphaba13]

Although it did remind me to dig out number 5 once we've moved (packed all the DVDs today) as I haven't watched it for ages and I just LOVE it.

#1 and #8, and #6 looks really familiar but not sure....

 

[FaniFox]

#1, #7 and #8 this week... All of them great movies!
Welcome back with the quiz, caff! Thanks!

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Well, maybe if you remembered the animals named after the comedy duo of Burns and Allen, #2 would be more obvious.

 

[caffeinated]

^^ Nice clue! It took me a minute, but then the light bulb flickered on.

#8 & #1.... may be

 

[technovapir]

Wow, this is a big week for me. I know all of them, except #5 which I can't place....

Bumping and hinting...

#1: I've used a different screenshot from this movie in a previous Movie Quiz. Phil, the character pictured, wakes up every morning at 6am to the sound of his clock radio playing Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe." For another hint, check out the borough name on the sawhorse in the background.

#3: When he's not trapped in medieval times, intimidating the primitive screwheads with his boomstick and searching for the Necronomicon, Ash is a clerk in the Housewares department at S-Mart. Shop smart, shop S-Mart! You got that?

#4: That's Malcolm McDowell on the right, playing H.G. Wells. Standing next to him is a surgeon friend who, unbeknownst to Mr. Wells, is actually Jack the Ripper. Wells is holding the crystal key to the contraption on the left that his friend ends up stealing (sort of) to avoid capture by the police.

#7: Kathleen Turner plays the movie's title character who passes out at her 25th high school reunion. She wakes up to find that she's somehow traveled back to 1960 and is once again a high school senior. On the left is Nicholas Cage, her high school boyfriend, (and future ex-husband), and on the right is an out of focus (and rather young) Jim Carrey.

Hope these help!

If I am not mistaken, #7 is the film where the song "She loves you" by The Beatles gets a new character, isn't that right?
I felt down on my knees with laughter when I heard of that!

Hints (if you need 'em):

1. This film kind of reminds me of the following joke:
   Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of Heaven.
   St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can
   answer one simple question.
   
   St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?"
   
   The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November
   when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful."
   
   "Wrong!" replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde
   the same question, "What is Easter?"
   
   The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when
   we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth
   of Jesus."
   
   St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust,
   tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the
   third blonde.
   
   He asks, "What is Easter?"
   
   The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the
   eyes, "I know what Easter is."
   
   "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.
   
   "Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish
   celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at
   the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to
   the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be
   crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of
   thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands.
   He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large
   boulder."
   
   St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.
   
   The third blonde continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside
   so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there
   will be six more weeks of winter."
2. A feel-good story about a disoriented stoic alien who learns to swear. This one's number four in the franchise. Oh, and it's got whales: George and Gracie.
3. An S-Mart employee with a killer prosthestic hand vs. "Deadites" in a medieval comic horror that's not at all similar to the first two films in the franchise.
4. H.G. Wells in a romantic fantasy.
5. 11-year old Kevin is plagued by night visitors worse than Underpants Gnomes. These visitors have a map of holes in the spacetime fabric and use it to steal treasures from across history. An evil sorcer, Evil, is trying to get his hands on the map.
6. An experimental device allows a user to experience the last eight minutes of another compatible person's life within an alternate timeline. It's used to find a nuke aboard a train headed to Chicago and the bomber.
7. The male lead actor is a big Elvis fan. And he's kind of weird in this movie named after a Buddy Holly song, a followup to one of Holly's biggest hits (with a similar title).
8. Apparently faster-than-light speeds are not required for time travel thanks to cool 80's technology. It only takes 1.21 Gigawatts and 88 mph now.

[bobsyeruncle]

Thanks, caff.

 

[evilfrog]

hmmm.... don't remember Time After Time. The rest of these were pretty easy for me, though 2 took me a couple minutes. I watched Source code yesterday, so I wouldn't have gotten it if I wasn't so late to this thread! Too busy with work and basketball playoffs!

 

[Loveridden]

Awww I should have gotten #7! I was right about 1 and 8 but those are pretty easy. Wrong about knowing 6, pretty sure I haven't seen that before...

 

[caffeinated]

Too busy with work and basketball playoffs!

Who do you like in the playoffs?

 

[technovapir]

Thanks Caff! I liked the themed play. It helped me figure some of them out. Have a great week!
