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!

Lol I had no idea Mean Girls was a book. Really thought UV would have been with me with Frozen

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...

: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:

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.

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 :')

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.

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.

'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!
