April 24, 20169 yr Author 6. Name a movie based on a book but released under a different title http://www.mtv.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/image-w-520-h-292-scale-crop/public/promobox-items/mean-girls-quotes-highlight.jpg Mean Girls (4) HarryEzra, Jade, Jonjo, Lee, Lotti Blade Runner (3) Chez, Iz, Mack, Richie Die Hard (1) Haus, Regina The Golden Compass (1) Bré, Ultraviolence Million Dollar Baby (0) Jack Frozen (0) Joe The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (0) SamJudd The Walk (0) Dobbo Carol (0) Jahq Precious (0) Josh A close one here with no runaway winner and a few ways to pick up points. BuzzFave Mean Girls wins out, based in part on the book "Queen Bees and Wannabes". Blade Runner, based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", is our second most popular answer, intrigued as to what made that stand out to people ;o Die Hard, based on "Nothing Lasts Forever", and The Golden Compass, based on "Northern Lights" each pick up a point - WD Bray. SamJudd seemingly named all three Hobbit movies, I've picked out the first one which is released under an extended title to just "The Hobbit". I get nothing for Carol (based on "The Price of Salt") which was the inspiration behind the question!
April 24, 20169 yr Yay Bre :cheer: Was between that and Blade Runner so once again I went for the wrong one!
April 24, 20169 yr Lol I had no idea Mean Girls was a book. Really thought UV would have been with me with Frozen
April 24, 20169 yr Lol I thought Die Hard, Blade Runner and Mean Girls were all original properties. The only two going through my mind were Precious and Carol. The Golden Compass seems obvious now though...
April 24, 20169 yr :cheer: Mean Girls instantly came into my head for that one, I remember it being mentioned in the special features of the DVD. My favourite film not failing me :wub:
April 24, 20169 yr Very difficult question that was to predict what would've come out on top! And alas it's my first non-top answer :lol:
April 24, 20169 yr Lol I had no idea Mean Girls was a book. Really thought UV would have been with me with Frozen I always forget Frozen was based on a book!
April 24, 20169 yr I'd call Frozen's source material more of a fairy tale than a book myself, even if that line can be blurred a lot. Oh bloody Mean Girls, I must have missed that when I was looking up answers, still glad I wasn't alone in Blade Runner, somehow thought Buzzjack might have overlooked that.

April 24, 20169 yr Author 7. Give me the name of one of the major film festivals http://www.festival-cannes.fr/img/data/graphics/en/identite_1_03.png Cannes (13) Bré, Chez, Dobbo, HarryEzra, Iz, Jack, Jade, Jahq, Joe, Lotti, Mack, Richie, SamJudd, Ultraviolence Sundance (2) Jonjo, Josh, Regina BFI London Film Festival (0) Haus T In The Park (0) Lee Back to an easy one with a landslide winner in the French film festival, Cannes. The American Sundance scores three people two points each, already having taken place earlier this year whilst Cannes is coming up next month. The London version of Sundance takes place at the start of June, hoping to possibly go and see something there, three or four films are sounding decent. Lee...misreads the question and goes for a music festival?! And Bal :')
April 24, 20169 yr Cannes :heart: What films are at Sundance London? I know the America one always has great films :heart: I'm really hoping to go to the BFI London Film Festival for the first time this year, I've always wanted to go but being under 15 meant I could barely see any of the movies until now!
April 24, 20169 yr Author Cannes :heart: What films are at Sundance London? I know the America one always has great films :heart: I'm really hoping to go to the BFI London Film Festival for the first time this year, I've always wanted to go but being under 15 meant I could barely see any of the movies until now! I have my eye on "Goat" (Nick Jonas), "The Intervention" (Cobie Smulders, sounds decent), "Other People" (gay interest, Jesse Plemons, Molly Shannon & June Squibb) and "Tallulah" (Ellen Page & Allison Janney, sounds interesting). Getting tickets would probably be a big task though :( I want to go to the London Film Fest too! It happens at a time when we have an idea of what could be contending for Oscar nods and "Room" was screened last year iirc but wasn't able to make it.
April 24, 20169 yr Author 8. Name a movie with at least one scene set on the London Underground http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/About/General/2013/2/27/1361965934810/Daniel-Craig-tube-010.jpg Skyfall (9) Chez, Dobbo, Haus, Iz, Jahq, Joe, Josh, Lotti, Regina, Ultraviolence Creep (1) Jack, Jonjo Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix (1) HarryEzra, SamJudd Bridget Jones Diary (0) Mack Sliding Doors (0) Richie Atonement (0) Jade Pudsey: The Movie (0) Bré London Has Fallen (0) Lee My self-indulgent question of the round :kink: The scene with Bond running along the tunnels made Skyfall quite an easy choice given how recent it was (and a HUGE smash). Apparently the entirety of Creep is underground, perhaps that's something that I should watch ;o Sliding Doors stars Gwyneth Paltrow, showing two parallel universes (based on whether or not the lead character managed to catch a particular train) and the title is a reference to the train doors so a good attempt. London Has Fallen was a nice try too, that particular scene gained my interest back a little but overall the movie was crap.
April 24, 20169 yr Was about to go for London Has Fallen but remembered Skyfall at the 11th hour! Is Creep good? Has been a film I've been interested in watching for a while!
April 24, 20169 yr 'Creep' is actually half decent! Fairly creepy and I was stuck for that one sooooo... Yay for my fellow horror fan going for the same as me!
