Hi!
Just looking through the thread from yesterday of the big DVD giveaway and thought it would be fun to do a movie orientated quiz of my own. Now not all the prizes will be DVDs but there will be 1 or 2 after a while- not saying when. The first is a quote from a film and the prize shall be...

The book The Silence Of the Lambs

" All of us on this Earth know that there is a time to live and a time to die"

MattCapes

Well I know the answer - but I already have the prize, so I won't tell. :)

Drel

Oops I thought you meant the dvd of SOTL I already have the book so will withdraw my entry.

Got a bit carried away in all the excitement :(

Yes, that is correct - at least, that was the answer that I didn't want to place in this thread in case it was only open to those in the UK.

So that is a yes?

The only reason I asked is that I did know the answer was Plan 9 but did not post it as I didn't want to ruin it for others if I was not eligible (see above posts) :)

Madm@tt
08-01-2002, 13:57
I haven't seen it but is it Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes?


PS - To add to the last question this is the Blade Runner quote so that you people don't get confused:

Roy Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

That bad? Quick question, is it on DVD?

"Its quite hard to walk with a blindfold on. Lend me a staff"
Late 70s to Early 80s
Set in the past

Mr Flibble
09-01-2002, 12:59
I'm on the verge of giving up :(

I've even resorted to trying IMDB - but that was no use either!

So, it's not of a fantasy genre (like the previous attempts - conan etc.)

no idea!

aprout
09-01-2002, 13:02
Dragonslayer?

As far as I know it is not out on DVD. I MAY BE WRONG THOUGH.
I picked it out of a pile of videos-spit on floor- that I have.
Mr Flibble- don't give up! It is a sort of fantasy but it also incorporates another genre.
Enough clues for now

MattCapes
09-01-2002, 13:23
Flight of Dragons
Jabberwocky

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 13:24
Nope- not Dragonslayer either.

Mr Flibble
09-01-2002, 13:25
Labrinth?

I can't even spell it right!

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 13:26
Nope.
Hint - try and focus on the other genre bit;)

Watcher in the woods is a great movie (well, it was when I was little, watching it recently I realised it is in fact a bit toss!

Anyway - I've been sat here for ten minutes thinking 'name a film' but I can't come up with anymore reasonable guesses :(

So - it's a two genre movie, one possible Sci-fi/fantasy, made in the late 70's early 80's that is set in olden times :confused:

It's not some 'Carry on' movie is it? (Carry on destroy that death star perhaps?)

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 14:30
The other genre is not sci fi or comedy and its not a Carry On movie:D

That's strange, I was gonna say that too! But as I have never heard of it didn't, but thought may be it's an animated feature?

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 14:40
Not animated.
It is on IMDB.
The year is between 1975 and 1980

MattCapes
09-01-2002, 14:42
It isn't The Flight of Dragons, I guessed at that already.

Something/fantasy but not scifi/fantasy or comedy/fantasy.

Anyone tried horror/fantasy yet?

If it's on IMDB then it ain't a memorable quote ;)

OK - time for more guessing!

Is it an obscure movie - or relatively well known?

Yonathan Gal
09-01-2002, 14:46
Is it Capricorn One ? :) or Chrostmas Carol, an american christmas carol

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 14:48
Its obscure and not Capricorn One

Mr Flibble

Western?

Thomasd

Not Western. Or Superman.
The story contains the following things...

Bandits, Hills, Ill Woman

Mr Flibble
09-01-2002, 15:13
the hills have eyes?

Five years of HK stuff, thats a lotta films - and I think they all involve bandits of one sort or another. :)

Has anyone seen it?

Zoe

Thomasd
09-01-2002, 16:42

These bandits are 'rife' in the area they banditize in though. Bu the film is not about bandits it just has bandits in it. Bandits:D

I've told you Its a fantasy kung fu film made between 1975 and 1980, there is a profession in the title, its obscure and the story contains bandits, hills and an ill woman.

What do you want the main star?!

OK, got an Idea. The Random movie star generator. Using the random movie thing On IMDB. I come up with a random movie and give you the character name of the character at the bottom of the cast list.
E.g Sonietta played by Gillian Hills would be A Clockwork Orange.
Two points for every right answer- first to 40 wins the DVD

Personally I reckon you should do something like screenshots - impossible to cheat even if you wanted to.
