Literally guessed the exact same way.

Im annoyed really because Godzilla was my first thought, but chose Armageddon instead :fist:

[Alf]

I didn't get it at all. I've heard of Godzilla, but didn't know of the film. I just remember the cartoon, Godzilla and Godzuki. My only guess was after the 1956 remake clue, I went for Invasion of the body snatchers..

They as good as told you in clue 4 Alf :p

"This 'Zilla is no thrillah. The only thing huge about it is the size of its failure, with monsters straight out of Jurassic Park (yawn), a plot thinner than the butter topping on popcorn and mailed-in acting by the cast."

[Alf]

"This 'Zilla is no thrillah. The only thing huge about it is the size of its failure, with monsters straight out of Jurassic Park (yawn), a plot thinner than the butter topping on popcorn and mailed-in acting by the cast."It just never came into my head. I think I just skipped through the last couple of clues and didn't read them properly because I had no idea what it could be from the first couple of clues, so I already saw it as a fail.

[Niamh.]

4th guess again, I'm bad at this

[James]

First guess. :shocked: Don't know how.

[Alf]

4th guess. And it was a guess. I've never seen it but have heard the name.

Once it starts giving me movies I've actually seen, I will be getting lots of 1s.

[Swan]

4th guess. Heard of it, never seen it.

[James]

Didn't get it. Don't know it.

[Alf]

Didn'tbget it, never seen it.

I did kow after the third clue which said about the use of Public Enemy music, that it was a Spike Lee film. But I could only name two or three of his films of the top of my head and this isn't one of them.

Why are all the films so far from 1998? Are they gonnabmixbit up a bit?

[Mystic Mock]

I got it from the 4th clue.

[Alf]

Didn't get it, again. Never even heard of it.

[James]

Didn't get it. I've heard of it this time, and I read a review of it.

[Mystic Mock]

I've never heard of that Film before in my life.:laugh:

[Niamh.]

Bombed, never heard of that film

[Mystic Mock]

I got this one after the third clue.

[Alf]

I finally got one.

Got it on the second clue, because the second clue just gives it away.

[Niamh.]

4 again

[James]

Only got it on the fifth clue after I basically read the title on the poster.

[Alf]

Got it in one

[Mystic Mock]

I never knew that it was called The Shawshank Redemption, I just call it Shawshank Redemption. Damn technicalities.:fist:

[Niamh.]

2nd clue, my first guess was ;

The Usual Suspects

[Beso]

Got it in one...best film of the 90s. The film length gives it way.

[James]

Got it in 2.

Thought it might have a higher score than 91%.

[Alf]

Got it in one again, two days running. These last two have been right up my street. I have an encyclopdic knowledge of the years of great movies. If I've seen the movie, I can tell you what year it was from and I could go back 100 years on that.

[Mystic Mock]

I had no idea.:joker:

[Alf]

Got it in one again. That's three on the trot on the first clue. To be fair, all three were easy to someone with my movie knowledge. To be honest, I had two in mind, Blade Runner and The Thing. I went for Blade runner first because that's 100% sci-fi and although The Thing can be classed in the sci-fi genre, it is more in the Horror genre.

[Niamh.]

1st go :hee:

[Alf]

Didn't get it, never seen it.

My only guess was Gosford Park

[Mystic Mock]

Never would've guessed it.:laugh:

[Niamh.]

Bombed, I've never seen it either, I was sure at guess 3 that I had it with

Sucker Punch

[James]

Didn't get.


Don't know it. I was guessing with anything with 'Dream' in the title.

[Alf]

Didn't get it.

[James]

I got this one in 3.

[Mystic Mock]

I've never heard of Paris, Texas before.

[Alf]

Got it in one. I had three films in mind from the off. I ruled out The Terminator because, that's sci-fi. So I was 50/50 on either Paris, Texas or Blood Simple. And I chose correctly.

[Alf]

I've never heard of Paris, Texas before.Great film. One of the best films of the 80s.

[Mystic Mock]

Great film. One of the best films of the 80s.

I'll check it out at some point.

[Niamh.]

Never heard of it

[Alf]

Never heard of itKurt Cobain's favourite.

[Niamh.]

Kurt Cobain's favourite.



197091887419637761

Interesting, thanks Alf :love:

[Alf]

Got it in two. I haven't seen it but do know of it. I didn't know the full title but did know the first two words of the title and that was enough because then it gave me the full title.

My first guess was Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1.

[Mystic Mock]

Never heard of it.:laugh:

[James]

Didn't get it. I've heard of it but that's it.

[Niamh.]

MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO



The only one of those films I've seen is Spirited Away.I highly recommend "Grave of the fireflies" It's very very sad. Probably the most depressingly sad film you'll ever see. But it's a masterpiece of a film, simply because it gives you that depressingly sad emotion. It will touch you.

[James]

Would you both consider it a Horror though? It's more a Thriller imo. Really annoyed i didn't get it first time, but the "horror" threw me.

Yeah, maybe more a thriller... though the book was written by a horror writer.

I was listening to a scene-by-scene analysis on a podcast recently, so that might be why I thought of it for the first guess.

[James]

I was surprised the audience rating was so low...

I remember enjoying the first film.

[Swan]

I was surprised the audience rating was so low...

I remember enjoying the first film.
