Welcome to what I believe is the 13th round of Movies Family Fortunes hosted by yours truly. I'm sure you all know how this works now but as we've had a few rounds of pointless I will remind people that THIS IS FAMILY FORTUNES NOT POINTLESS and the aim is find the MOST popular answer you think others will go for to gain points.

I've not picked a specific theme here, but I have avoided things like Star Wars, Oscars, Disney, Superheroes etc. as these have been covered in previous quizzes so some freshness can remain. Some of these may require a bit of thought and may be lacking in an obvious answer, but there's nothing a quick Google search can't fix, you tell me if they're too hard

1. An animated film released by Studio Ghibli
2. A film directed by Steven Spielberg
3. A famous movie animal that is not animated
4. A film in which the villain/(s) wins*
5. A ‘final girl’ in any Horror Movie
6. A film that was, or still is, banned in the UK
7. A film told in a non-linear narrative
8. An iconic film quotation
9. A film considered amongst the best of all time
10. A film considered amongst the worst of all time

*I'm aware this can be interpreted differently, so please feel free to include any explanation as I'll be using Google/wikipedia as a basis here!

So get your thinking heads and best pair of shoes on and please PM me (chart wizard (or Chez Wombat as this name may not be lasting much longer)) the answers by 20th March 11:59PM, I'll hopefully do the results the next day. May the odds be ever in favour and Dame Helen Mirren guide you all the way ;o

Yay! I'll do these later

Posted by: princess_lotti 13th March 2016, 10:08 PM

ooh yay excited on quick glance at the questions this will be a very interesting one

Posted by: jsilv 14th March 2016, 08:00 AM

Oooo, some very broad questions here. Going to be a difficult one to answer

Can anyone explain to me what a 'final girl' is? My lack of horror knowledge is really showing

Posted by: JoeTheSats 14th March 2016, 08:54 AM

Probably the least confident I've been entering a Family Fortunes.

Posted by: J▲hq 14th March 2016, 09:32 AM

I had to look it up too to be sure and apparently it's the last woman left to fight the killer.

These questions are really great!! I think I'll be confident on one top answer, but these require a proper think.

Posted by: jsilv 14th March 2016, 09:33 AM

Oh thanks Jahq, no idea how I'm going to think one of those up but I'll start searching now

Posted by: JoeTheSats 14th March 2016, 09:39 AM

I read that as "final girl" left alive?

Posted by: Regina 14th March 2016, 09:51 AM

Great questions, will get this done sooon.

Posted by: hotchoc26 14th March 2016, 05:23 PM

I have subbed

Nothing too difficult, although maybe #2, #8 and #6 especially were needing a bit of thought

Posted by: bipolar angel 14th March 2016, 06:38 PM

i actually had a go at this myself, (and don't think i did too bad at all!)

struggled coming up with 2, but eventually thought of them

Posted by: Chez Wombat 14th March 2016, 07:26 PM

Re: Final Girl, I'm using Carol Clover's definition of the last girl alive to fight the killer/threat, there's one in pretty much every slasher movie ever ;o

One question currently has a different answer from every sender (including myself), this is gonna be fun

Posted by: hotchoc26 14th March 2016, 07:30 PM

Ah but does the "final girl" fighting the killer have to be a requirement? Like, do they have to succeed in fighting the killer or...

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 14th March 2016, 07:32 PM

Absolutely excellent questions Chez, look forward to entering this soon

Posted by: SamJudd 15th March 2016, 06:45 PM

Just submitted mine, don't think I'm gonna do well on this one, but fingers crossed.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 15th March 2016, 07:03 PM

It's not a requirement, it's just normally what happens given they're the last one standing that the threat hasn't got yet, it normally has to happen for the story to end (your answer is fine btw from what I can see, not that wrong answers matter in FF ;o)

13 players so far, keep em coming

First movie FF I've entered, as I feel I've been able to give a good answer to all the questions, good work Chez.

Well, aside from one, I'm sure the quote one will be a mess, so I've gone for a timeless one that probably won't get nearly as many people answering it as they should.

Posted by: J▲hq 16th March 2016, 06:02 PM

Does the iconic quote have to be correct?

Posted by: Iz~ 16th March 2016, 06:42 PM

I will judge you.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 19th March 2016, 06:49 PM

Bump, just under 30 hours left, let's see who I need to stalk

Still very much wide open, and one question still has over ten different answers.

Posted by: princess_lotti 19th March 2016, 08:01 PM

i'm interested about what direction you guys have gone for with the quote one!

Posted by: Ethan Bradberry 19th March 2016, 08:02 PM

the wrong one most likely
