    Default Name the Movie - Quiz

    Name the move-
    The rules are simple. I'll give a short plot summary and you name the movie.
    Since some of the summaries are, what I would rate as difficult, I'll give a few hints and encourage 'best guess answers'. That's right, even if you don't know Superman from Batman, I encourage you to post your answers.
    All 'best guess answers' will be awarded points on a purely subjective basis with absolutely no rhyme or reason, thereby making all final scores totally meaningless.
    So post away and have fun.

    Disclaimer: Many of the plot summairies are from my friend. And since my friend is not very creative, (I ghost write her Christmas newsletter) I know she didn't write a one; so I will credit the website she used as soon as I get her to fess up.

    1- Techicolor midgets give directions.

    2- Short hero-----long movie (OK, this one is kinda difficult, so I'll help.....a little *whispering* sequels

    3- Bank robber's bloody demise - red was definately not his color.

    4- Cruise colder than "ICE".

    5- Bus with bomb.

    6- Is it safe?

    7- Fe-male (Alright, this one's a little tricky, but you can do it, just think about it.)

    8- Man travels up river and smells napalm. (2 to 1 odds that not only will 29Palms answer this correctly, but will have visited the place where the movie was filmed and had drinks there.)

    9- DK.....NY (Ok, this one is hard...you're on your own.) *evil laugh*

    10- A boy befriends an alien, that only wants to go home. (EZ, right?)

    11- Boy meets Prime mate. (if you don't know this one, you didn't read my blog)

    12- Srolling binary confuses 1. (5 to 1 odds that Spongebue not only answers this correctly, but, has seen all the sequels.)

    13- Sharp shooting cowboy goes out back, meets crazy woman.

    14- Fated lovers request song, but Sam hates encores.

    15- Spoiled self-centered beauty wears dress she saw hanging in a window.

    Alright lets see how you do.

    I&#39;ll admit, my taste in movies is a bit odd at best.

    1. Wizard of Oz (best. summary. ever)
    6. Pick a horror movie, any horror movie. Oh, and to answer the question: for the love of God, no! HE&#39;S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!
    10. Not so much EZ, but rather ET
    12. Probably the matrix? I&#39;ve seen each of them years ago, but don&#39;t remember much. I may be a computer science student, but I haven&#39;t even seen Star Wars (no, not any of them. Yes, really)

    I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll learn of a few others and then say "ohhhhhh"

    Number 6 is MARATHON MAN.
    Number 8. APOCOLYPSE NOW. (Movie was filmed in the Philippines by the way.)
    Number 13. Quiggley Down Under? the Never saw Tom Selleck flik


    4. I think I know which Cruise film you are talking about. He&#39;s like some hit man, takes a cabbie hostage. Real cold bad ass in the movie.

    5. also know the one about the bomb on the bus with the crazy actor Dennis Hopper.

    Well you two are off to a good start; although Palms, you&#39;re completely off course with #4.
    Since there&#39;s a chance of late arrivals, I&#39;ll let this play a litttle longer.

    Uh-huh, Palms you&#39;re really beginning to decipher the clues.

    Anyone else care to take a crack at the quiz now?

    This just in- A group of AA flight attendants just took the quiz, they got 6 out of 15. Surely a group of non-revs can do better than that.

    Palms, you&#39;re wrong on both counts, although you did have me laughing with the "Crying Game".
    With #3- "Bank robber&#39;s bloody demise- red was definately NOT his color", you fell into the same trap as the FA&#39;s. John Dillenger is the main character in the movie, he&#39;s played by (you know ) but I&#39;m looking for the title of the movie, not the character.
    You keep thinking there Palms.

    #7 Fe-Male -The Crying Game (now that&#39;s funny) You get 5 points for that.
    Look at it again Fe................ Fe..........Fe where have you seen that before, maybe on a chart?
