April 24, 20169 yr Creep is honestly one of my favourite horror films, so creepy and atmospheric. The underground is a great setting for it!
April 24, 20169 yr Author 9. Name a country to have been nominated for 'Best Foreign Language Film' at the Oscars but not won http://mizrachi.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/flag.jpg Israel (7) Chez, HarryEzra, Haus, Iz, Jahq, Joe, Josh, Ultraviolence Mexico (1) Regina, Richie United Kingdom (1) Jonjo, SamJudd Finland (0) Mack Spain (0) Jack Yugoslavia (0) Lotti Norway (0) Dobbo Iceland (0) Jade India (0) Bré Let The Child In (0) Lee Here we have a Wikipedia winner, Israel being the first on the list that hasn't had a win (they've had the most nominations without a win - 10). Mexico is right below on said list with 8 nominations (maybe Regina & Richie going for Mexico is the influence of Alejandro G. Iñárritu?), Yugoslavia had 6, Norway have had 5. The UK, another answer to score points, has interestingly had 2 nominations for Welsh language movies. Spain have had four wins. Would've thought India had been more successful, the prominence of Bollywood makes them feel quite 'big' on a movies scale (after the UK & US). I really have no explanation for Lee's answer.
April 24, 20169 yr I did this without Googling anything anyway and only knew answers for like half of them. In retrospect, I probably should have remembered the whole 'black people being snubbed at the Oscars' thing.
April 24, 20169 yr Oh yay people went for wiki knowledge too *.* I thought people would just go for the 'biggest' country. Lee!!!
April 24, 20169 yr Author 10. Name a movie that was released 'posthumously'** http://www.cinemablend.com/images/facebook/news/76217/76217.jpg The Dark Knight (7) Chez, Haus, Jack, Joe, Jonjo, Mack, Regina, Ultraviolence Furious 7 (2) Iz, Jahq, SamJudd Night At The Museum: Secret of the Tomb (1) HarryEzra, Jade Eye In The Sky (1) Dobbo, Josh The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (0) Richie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (0) Lotti Alice Through The Looking Glass (0) Bré The Jungle Book (0) Lee The Dark Knight winning is no surprise here, being released after the death of Heath Ledger who was awarded the Oscar for this performance, but I did think Furious 7 (released after the death of Paul Walker) might be closer given how recent it is (and another big franchise). The third installment of Night At The Museum (Robin Williams) and Eye In The Sky (current release, starring the late Alan Rickman) both score too. Richie goes for the wrong Heath Ledger movie and Bré for the wrong Alan Rickman movie (also if we were to be technical, the question uses past tense and the Alice movie is still to be released). Both parts of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay were released after the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman but I'd say his character wasn't as pivotal as those played by Heath and Paul. I do hope Lee isn't trying to kill off Bill Murray (jk, I'm reading that Garry Shandling died last month and he voices Ikki in the current version). -x- Will add the scores tomorrow!
April 24, 20169 yr Thanks Jahq, fantastic questions and looking forward to seeing the scores tomorrow :wub: Next up to host is me as I finally have time to host one of these games because of half term! And it's going to be a bumper one with a bumper pointless (that will be going up in the next 15 minutes) which has a duel theme of 2016 and general questions. And I am also going to trial a new game which will either be up within the next hour or tomorrow!
April 24, 20169 yr 6/10 top answers. Not my best, but should hopefully see me on the upper half of the scoreboard. Thanks Jack!
April 24, 20169 yr Thanks Jahq for doing this! A pretty disastrous showing here, going to accept that Pointless is moreso my forté in the Movies forum :kink:
April 25, 20169 yr Oh dammit, why didn't I say The Dark Knight? I was even considering that as an answer :lol:
April 25, 20169 yr Author Results (to see where the points come from) http://i.imgur.com/Scdlh9Y.png Text form 1 Chez 77 2 UV 68 3 Jahq 66 4 Haus 62 5 Iz 60 6 HarryEzra 59 7 Joe 55 8 Lotti 51 =9 Jonjo 50 =9 Josh 50 11 Mack 48 12 SamJudd 44 13 Regina 43 14 Richie 34 15 Jade 32 =16 Bré 28 =16 Dobbo 28 18 Jack 27 19 Lee 18 The ties - both appear to have the same number of top answers but if anyone really wanted them separated, I guess Jonjo and Dobbo both scored on more questions than Josh and Bray? Thanks to all for participating!
