Film Quiz

[Lilas Pastia]

Merle Oberon has been exposed!

Wuthering Heights is adapted from Emily Brontë's famous novel.

[Drasko]

And no, it's not Sarita Montiel in that picture (who is she anyway? Milos, you have too much erudition!)

Sara (Sarita) Montiel is spanish actress and singer, really, really big star in 50-60s in Spain and Europe. She did make few Hollywood movies (Vera Cruz) but didn't stay there long. One of her films, musical La Violetera was, over here, one of those ridiculously popular hits that people went to see dozens of times again and again.

Paul Newman  Cool Hand Luke.....

This thread has remained dormant for far, far too long! Watch this space - I shall add an enjoyable little quiz within the next hour.

[Maciek]

Here we go - Maciek's 5th edition, I think.

Since this is a classical music forum, I've come up with something different: an aural film quiz. It might turn out to be pretty easy, difficult to tell at this point. I know this might be a bit annoying to dialuppers but the samples never exceed 40 secs, and some of them are around 10 secs. It's a lucky 7 again. The game for me is to try and rate the difficulties :

1) Not very difficult, I would think. But then again...

(Correct Answer no. 5 (1st and only in round 2): Scary Movie - Corey)


2) Probably easy...?

(Correct Answer no. 2: Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR) - Bogey)


3) The only reason it might not be very easy, is that it's a very short clip...

(Correct Answer no. 1: Monty Python:The Meaning of Life - Drasko)


4) Very, very easy?

5) Very, very easy again?

6) Impossible

(Pan Tadeusz - no one even tried )

7) Piece of cake.

(La Double vie de Véronique - Drasko, who for some reason later deleted his post)

OK, so they are probably all very easy - but it's difficult to say, we haven't had one of these before. Maybe I'm delusional.

[Drasko]

This is terribly difficult, for me at least since I have poor auditive memory.

But ... No.3 is Monty Python:The Meaning of Life

[Maciek]

Yes, I had second thoughts about it - because it's not really the way most people remember films. If this proves too difficult, I'll add pictures as additonal clues tomorrow.

Your answer is of course right.

Here are the 2 pics I had in store for this one:

[Bogey]

#2 Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR)

[Maciek]

Ah, so it's not that difficult after all!

You're right, of course, Bill!

An here's your prize:



(It seems I've reversed our traditional order: now the photos come after the quiz is guessed... )

[Bogey]

#7 Audrey Hepburn in either, not sure which,:
Charade or Breakfast at Tiffany's

[orbital]

#4  - Bertolucci's The Sheltering Sky
--
#1 - perhaps Chicago (the Musical)?

[Bogey]

#4  - Bertolucci's The Sheltering Sky
--
#1 - perhaps Chicago (the Musical)?

I believe you may have #4 Orbital.

[orbital]

I believe you may have #4 Orbital.

Not sure about Chicago right?
I was reminded of the scene at the beginning of the film where the wife shoots the husband, but now I think I'm wrong.

[Maciek]

#7 Audrey Hepburn in either, not sure which,:
Charade or Breakfast at Tiffany's

Nope, neither, sorry.

#4  - Bertolucci's The Sheltering Sky

Spot on!

#1 - perhaps Chicago (the Musical)?

Nope...

[Drasko]

Could No.7 be Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain ??

[Maciek]

In a way, that is very, very close.

(But still no banana...)

[Drasko]

In a way, that is very, very close.

Last time you said that I circled around Three Colors Blue for next two days, no thanks, I'll wait for the pictures this time.

No.5 Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock

[Maciek]

Last time you said that I circled around Three Colors Blue for next two days, no thanks, I'll wait for the pictures this time.

Wow! You're getting closer with every minute!

No.5 Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock

Precisely!

[Maciek]

Here we go, the sound clips again plus additional visual hints:

I hope you don't guess them too fast - I've got ideas for further fun hints!

# 1 is a comedy then  good voice acting
