I nominate the Lord of the Rings clue for the "Best Jetpunk Clues" quiz. (PS - Spelling: Brando)

Level 81

I nominate my clue for Twilight on Moves by Unlikely Premise quiz.

Level 66

Seconded. It threw me for a second, then I laughed.

Level 74

And what about Avatar? It won 9 oscars

Level 81

Oct 8, 2016

Excellent film, but it only won 3 Oscars. It was nominated for 9.

Level 48

Oct 9, 2016

Avatar is on there, its just been renamed "dances with wolves"

Level 81

Oct 12, 2016

I thought Dances with Wolves was that movie where Tom Cruise became a samurai.

Level ∞

Feb 27, 2017

No that's "The Fast and the Furious", and it starred the Rock, not Tom Cruise.

Level 88

Apr 6, 2017

This line of discussion is going downhill fast! (No, wait, that's "Downhill Racer"...)

Level 81

Apr 22, 2022

And nobody noticed that Lawrence of Arabia is on here twice? (the 2nd time, renamed Dances with Wolves)

great quiz, thanks

Great quiz. Dusted off the grey matter.

Great quiz - needed a bit more time though please (slow typist)

Agree. I ran into time trouble too. Please add a minute.

Added more time

Level 82

Oct 11, 2016

I kept putting "The Bridge over the River Kwai" then I looked it up after, and that was the name of the book, not the movie.

Level 51

Oct 14, 2016

Me too! Kept thinking I must be spelling Kwai wrong and wasted valuable time!

Titanis is the worst film ever

+20

Level 91

Feb 28, 2017

I agree. Titanis was doomed to be a failure from the start. Who wants to see a movie about an extinct prehistoric bird anyway?

Level 88

Mar 18, 2023

Anyone else read this and envision something akin to Jurassic Park with titanis instead of velociraptors?

Level 47

Mar 25, 2023

Someone call Steven Spielberg I think we just came up with the next big idea. Someone get him right now.

Level 57

I hope "bla bla land goes" home with NO Oscars

I've only seen 12 of 36 of these movies but still got 28 right.

I was expecting the count for Emma Stone's to be "7! No wait, only 6"

Could you please add "Bridge OVER the River Kwai" as an acceptable answer please?

I wonder why did you choose sometimes not to use the lead actor as a hint?

Level 82

Mar 29, 2022

Example?? Seems like they all make sense.

Level 71

The Sting is an underrated movie today

Level 74

Didn't Dune just win six oscars this year?

Level ∞

Mar 30, 2022

Yep, that's why I updated the quiz and Dune is included.

Level 92

Apr 22, 2022

Maybe my favorite quiz. I've seen all but 3 and they are 3 of the 4 newest movies on the list. I enjoyed all of them except The Last Emperor and I must have spent half a day trying to watch it but I would fall asleep and would have to rewind to where i nodded off multiple times.

Level 64

Apr 22, 2022

You have outdone yourself. This is a very fun quiz with very funny clues!

Level 61

Apr 23, 2022

Great quiz - thank you. I haven't seen some of these, and now I might!

Level 70

Mar 10, 2023

I'm so surprised that "The Best Years of Our Lives" is the 2nd least-guessed of all of these. It is such a great movie. It's been one of my most favorite movies for probably 25 years now. Such an inspirational movie for veterans and survivors. If we have to have inspirational movies to gear us up to fight the good battles and get through them and win, we also have to have inspirational movies that guide us to peace and healing after war.

Level 87

Mar 13, 2023

It's also the third-oldest movie on this list, so it probably shouldn't be a huge surprise that it is (deservedly or undeservedly) one of the least frequently guessed.

Level 67

Mar 23, 2023

I've seen the film and found the clue a bit difficult (I still got it though). I don't remember the characters names very well and didn't think of them as "pals" - the 3 stories are from soliders that get the same plane together having not met before, and then it follows their families/relationships more than friendships.

Level 74

Mar 25, 2023

Go back and watch the movie. Fred, Al and Homer all spend a fair amount of time together at Homer's uncle's bar. Fred loses his job because he objects to the comments of a right-wing nut job to Homer. Fred and Al get into a bitter argument because Fred is seeing Peggy, Al's daughter, even though Fred is still married. Fred breaks off the relationship but, after getting divorced, proposes to Peggy at Homer's wedding. There's more, but you get the idea.

Level 93

Mar 13, 2023

Fun Fact! With it's 7 wins last night, Everything Everywhere All at Once just became the movie with the most above-the-line* wins in Oscar history with 6!

*Above-the-line: Picture, Director, Screenplay, Acting categories

Level 79

Mar 13, 2023

It’s the first movie to win best picture that features a huge phallus being used as a weapon! It’s only the second such movie nominated, though.

Level 67

Mar 23, 2023

Okay what was the first?

Level 79

Mar 25, 2023

“That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolence.”

Level 75

Mar 25, 2023

A trivia note: Cabaret has the record of winning 8 awards without winning Best picture.

Level 93

Apr 27, 2023

I feel bad for any movie in 1972 that wasn't The Godfather or Cabaret, they stood no chance whatsoever

Level 71

Jun 7, 2023

Interesting

Level 56

Mar 25, 2023

So we're back to using the year the movie came out and not the year that it won the awards? This is the correct way, but those other quizzes that show, for example, Titanic winning Best Picture for 1998, need to be changed.

Level 71

31/40. For My Fair Lady I almost wanted to type "lies mainly on the plain"

Pedantry alert - you should remove the word “at” from the quiz description.

You’re welcome…

I recently watched On the Waterfront. Man, it's good. I feel like acting quality in the 40s and 50s isn't great, but there are some actors and actresses that just transcend the era and are incredible. Marlon Brandon and Lee J. Cobb are two such actors in On the Waterfront.
