Movie Quiz
Stole it from Mom!
Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at Internet Movie Database. In the overview at the top of each movie's page, there are "Plot Keywords," usually five of them. (Plus more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then you, the lucky reader, gets to try to guess which movies are described.
1. Black Comedy / Generation X / Wrath / Thug / Rotoscoping
2. Orgasm / Sado Masochistic / Self Injury / Sadistic / Personal Secretary
3. Disturbing / Sword / Violent Movie / Good Versus Evil / Based On Comic Book
4. Zombie / Car Crash / Soft Drink / Dress / London
5. Male Nudity / Campy / Payback / Homage / Vendetta
6. Hyperrealism / Topless / Queen / Harem / Seige
7. Obscene Finger Gesture / One Day / Mini Skirt / Teen Angst / Suicide
8. Action Heroine / Spin Off From Video Game / Female Nudity / Killer Dog / Based On Video Game
9. Animal Killing / Blood / Painting / Katana Sword / Gunfight
10. Convenience Store Clerk / Long Take / Silent / Anti Social / Underage Smoking
Wow.... some (most) of these are WAY hard to figure out! So, to aid in your guesses, here are the taglines from each movie (also on the movie's main page on IMDB... interestingly enough, I don't think I would necessarily consider some of these the actual taglines). Try to figure it out from the keywords first, though! ^_^
1. "Hell of a way to end a partnership."
2. "Assume the position."
3. "It can't rain all the time."
4. "His fear began when he woke up alone. His terror began when he realised he wasn't."
5. "Girls like me don't make invitations like this to just anyone!"
6. "Prepare for glory!"
7. "Open 'til midnight."
8. "Everyone died. The trouble is, they didn't stay dead."
9. "In a future where freedom is outlawed outlaws will become heroes."
10. "Just because they serve you... doesn't mean they like you."

Okay, so I'm sitting here thinking "Oh, Bec's movies will be so *easy*. No problem at all."
Well . . . umm . . . let's just say I was mistaken.
Here goes nothing:
1. What the heck is "rotoscoping"? Obviously one cannot be expected to come up with a title to a film with such a word in its description. Ahh . . . I just looked it up. I would have known the title if I'd just looked it up first. :)
2. Totally easy. "Secretary"
3. No idea. Maybe that new Nic Cage movie? What was that called? The one where he rides a motorcycle and is a flaming skeleton? Okay, I know it's not that one, but what is the name of that movie??
4. I thought this one was "Resident Evil" until I read the tag line. Now I know it's "28 Days Later".
5. And I thought my keywords were a bit iffy. :) I have *no* idea about this one.
6. Another one where the tag line made a difference. "300" (Just as aside - I can't get that "It's Raining Men" song out of my head from that parody we saw on "300" every time I hear the film mentioned.)
7. No clue.
8. Ahh - now we're getting somewhere. First "28 Days Later" now "Resident Evil". Now there's the Bec I know and love. :)
9. umm. . . maybe "V for Vendetta"? Again, going more off the tag line than the keywords.
10. "Clerks". Totally.
Way fun for movie buffs. Totally puzzling most of the time, but still fun.
I should have guessed that '300' was one of them . . . and I should have known that a zombie movie would make its way onto your list . . .
The only one I'm confident about is 'Clerks.'
My movie appreciation skills suck : )
