Answer and next shot tomorrow morning.

Screenshot #11 Answer: Downfall (2005)
Clue: Secretary
Comment: Showing Hitler or random and assorted Nazis would have given too much information, so I chose this chilling shot. I'm amazed at how many guessed this one, and even more amazed at how many guessed The Pianist. OK, how many Googled the phrase on the sign?

LAST ONE!

Screenshot #12 :

(Clue tomorrow morning)

 

[george kaplan]

Never even heard of Downfall, much less seen it.

 

[JohnRice]

I haven't actually seen Downfall, but the clue gave it away for me.

 

[Martin Teller]

Bah. I've seen Downfall, but the secretary clue threw me off. I don't recall the secretary being especially significant in the film. I should have guessed it anyway... after the clue, I knew The Pianist was wrong.

This last one is driving me nuts.

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

I should have gotten Downfall for 2 points. I knew I'd seen it, but guessed Pianist until the clue. I put Downfall in just to make sure and found the shot and changed my answer.

Don't think I'm gonna get #12.

 

[Bob Turnbull]

What me? Just what are you implying? How dare y...

Well, yeah, OK, I may have glanced at Google. Feel free to dock me a point or two if John complains...

I think I'll be coming up short on this last one though. Unless I get REALLY creative with Google.

 

[Jon_Are]

Martin, the story was presented from the secretary's perspective.

Jon

 

[Ray H]

Never seen Downfall myself though I've been meaning to. I figured German + Bolsheviks and Downfall was the only German WWII movie that came to mind.

 

[Martin Teller]

Ah, I don't remember that.

I'm pretty much waiting on the clue for this last one. I had a guess, but I'm 90% sure it's wrong. I know I've seen this shot before, though.

 

[JohnRice]

Ah, cheaters.


BTW, if there is interest, I will be continuing with my own tourney. Please let me know in this thread. There should be very little Googlable content, but some cool images.

 

[Mary M S]

John, if you don’t mind a sub par, some days absentee player; I’m in.

 

[Bob Turnbull]

Now that sounds like a challenge! Everything is Googlable (though with different Googlability factors).

 

[Adam_S]

i'm game for another challenge, I"m not very good at these but sometimes I get one.

 

[Bill McA]

I've seen Downfall, but don't remember that shot...the clue gave it away for me.


John, you have been notified!

Not sure what the current shot is, but I think I can guess who directed it

 

[Jon_Are]

I'm in, John, so long as you promise to get the aspect ratios correct.

Jon

 

[JohnRice]

OK, I started the other thread so people can prepare themselves.

go to it HERE. subscribe to it. Play. Have fun. Congrats to Bill for obviously winning this one.

 

[Ray H]

Hey! It's tied.

And I'm up for a new game.

 

[george kaplan]

Go ahead. I'm used to it.

Recent films are one of the biggest holes in my viewing since I rarely get to the theater these days. I only watch things on tv that I've tivo'd so I don't see commercials. Was this heavily advertised or something?
