OK, this clue really threw me. I didn't know if we were talking Dirk Diggler or some private eye. In any case, I thought that was Kevin Spacey on the left of 6A, though it didn't fit his movies.

One of the easiest shots for me so far was "The Full Monty" -- I know that film VERY well.

The level of difficulty is OK for me -- I just happen to have not seen half the films.

I gotta say John, that really surprised me. Singin is a beautifully shot film, a great example of the use of color, so right there I'd think you'd have interest. It's a prototype film for film study work as well, and it happens to be damn entertaining.

I didn't find this thread in time, but I honestly did figure the first one out without the clue once I got Rain Main. I was mixing up Singing with Star is Born on that cap up till that point.

Great game idea, I need to get Tino over here, he loves these things.


So far I like the difficulty I saw. Python/Full was very easy, KKBBang drove me nuts because I knew it but couldn't place (cop scene, guy is freaked out by weird women in box thing at disco/party, not Miami Vice but around then....argh). I didn't recognize the Big Fat scene, though Crashers was perhaps too easy IMO. The hint gave me the Big Fat half.


BTW, I'm 50% certain I know 7b (a true classic if its what I think), but can't place 7a even with the possible words from 7b...thus I'm wondering if I'm off on 7b.

Re: Screenshot Challenge - Double Your Pleasure Version


The clues:

7A: A well-known, long-time Hollywood couple first met during the filming of this movie.

7B: When the real person on whom the main character was based saw this movie, he said it made him realize for the first time what a terrible person he had been.

Answers and next round tomorrow morning.

I was just pointing out the clerical error to avoid any of the end of round complaints, accusations and likely lawsuits from the troublemakers in the crowd...

I notice you're starting to shrink the size of the people in your screenshots now.
