LOL! I happen to own nearly 2000 DVDs, so sound clips are a breeze to get if I want them, particularly since I have a DVD-ROM in my computer.

That wasn't a typo. Nearly two thousand. I went through a bit of a movie phase for a while there...
FTR, BacardiJim already has 35 pts...

I have about 1000 titles, about a quarter of those are VHS replacements onto DVD. So using a skewed sense of logic I should be able to get at least 25 points out of this game. We shall see. Or perhaps our tastes in film are so separate I won't get any. Hmmm. :-/

Well, only about half of my DVDs are applicable. All the rest are porn.
LMAO! Seriously though, about half are foreign films which I couldn't use in a contest like this...

Well... you could. It would have to be seriously iconic dialogue though. Consider it the "Classical music clip" of the movie game.

I'll have to think about that. Perhaps if I included the English translation with the clip it might work...

Well, listened to the clips. Think I recognize one actor and I don't even know from which movie that is! :-[ I'll try again later, still a bit sleepy at the moment. Yeah, that must be it! Either that or I just have a really crappy memory or our tastes in movies is totally different.

No no, keep it in the original language! Movies don't get dubbed over here. I might have a better chance at recognizing them than the others here. Say, you wouldn't have any Dutch movies in your collection now would you? Use those!

You misunderstood. I am VEHEMENTLY against dubbing of any kind. I absolutely refuse to watch anything that isn't in its original language. What I meant was that I would post the sound clip in the original language, but type in the english translation in the forum.

Ah ok, I get it now. Totally agree with you: dubbing is just awful! But you should include some foreign films (with an English translation then). I might have an easier time with those than I do with the ones in this quiz.

Good quiz Bastich, thanks.

Movie freaks yes, but this contest was a bit too easy in that typing in the lines or part of the actors lines into Google would usually return the name of the movie. Granted it took awhile to do, but...
I had an idea for a contest on here that involved identifying a book by the first line, but then found that you could do a google search and find the book. In a nutshell, that contest wouldn't have been much of a contest. Unfortunately, this contest fell into the same category.

ROFL, Elfstone! on't feel bad for your score. The thing is, we are adventure gamers and used the tools at our disposal to research the answers.
I wouldn't call it cheating, but I don't think that was what Bastich intended us to do when he came up with the contest. The most unfortunate part is that Bastich probably spent more time putting together the contest than we spent finding the answers....

Status : Offline | Shame Ivinia! In that case I can glow with pride. Having seen all the films Bastich sourced it was actually a memory and deduction test, not a researching one. >
All the research I did was consult the Internet Movie Database to get ideas about possible films the quotes came from.
I knew all the actors pretty much straight away, and if I didn't know the film straight away, looked through the credits of the actors to give me a prod in the right direction. Made quite a few guesses - most of them right.
