Cinematic ABC Movie Quiz (easy to medium difficulty)
« on: July 23, 2011, 02:53:57 PM »
Cinematic Alphabet Movie Quiz (easy to medium difficulty)
I'm going backwards from Z, putting up one everyday  (Z to U are already up).

start at Z: http://harveyshome.blogspot.com/2011/07/name-that-film-new-rules.html
others can be found at my blog   http://harveyshome.blogspot.com/

Rules:

1. Three screen captures will be categorized into easy (mainstream/semi-mainstream), medium (classic), and hard (obscure) and each will be worth 1, 2, and 3 points.  This was initially intended for my friends (not movie geeks like me), so hard might be easy for you.

2. This is by the honor system; no Internet searches or research please, but you can use the person directly to your left for help (if you're alone, it's all you; if no one is to your left, you cannot use person/s in any other direction).  I doubt anyone in these forums would need the help.

3. The answers will be placed in the comment box of each subsequent quiz blog post.  Please do not post the answers in this thread unless you know how to use the spoiler-blackout tool.

4. Please keep track of your scores--you can post scores in this thread or say (e.g.): "For V, i got 1, 2, and 3 plus got the bonus. 7 points."  There is up to 6 points per post, with 26 posts, and probably every 3rd post will have a bonus point question (plus 9): a total of 165 points.

*Good luck. It's way easier than The Movie Game threads in the forums. :)

I can't tell jokes and I'm terrible at quizzes but I'm game-

For Z I have 1 point (did weakly guess 2nd one, but I want to be completely honest)
For Y 4 points (Didn't get one of my fave films, useless)
For X 6 points (Far too easy and that's coming from quiz jerk)
For W 4 points
For V 2 points (rubbish like I said)
For U 6 points (couldn't see the answers on this one but am 100% confident anyway)
For T 1 point
For S 6 points
For R 7 points
For Q The Quick and the Dead, Quiz Night, Quick Change

Points total- 37

Question? If the person is to my right and I turn 180 degrees am I disqualified?

We won't call it cheating if you can convince yourself that you looked away from your computer monitor (turning 180 degrees) and checked your smart/internet phone before you looked at the screen captures.
