Grim wrote:I cant place No 34 or 95

34 is about Cats acting like aristocrats.

95 is about a popular teenage wizard. The full british title of the movie will do just fine.

What's the matter with you ? Can't even recognize Tinkerbell ?!

Use the official way of spelling it, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" for #69 (without the quotations.

)

Thanks Tom. Got 34.

For 95 I typed in Harry Potter and The Philospher's Stone (It looks like that), it doesnt accept it, maybe its not that one

Do you know what 213 or 219 is?

219 looks a bit like Nightmare on Elm Street or Pirates of the Carribean

Is it really the philosopher's stone or somebody else's.

LOL, are you serious?

@Grim:
Maybe you need to learn to spell "PHILOSOPHER".

219 looks a bit like ...

It's Tinkerbell ! TIN-KER-BELL !

For 213, you need to put a "The" in front of it.

LOL OK

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Jul 2006, 12:38

For 95 both the American and Original title work.

Whats no 255?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Jul 2006, 14:09

Just got No 8. LOL! Why didnt I think of that?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Jul 2006, 14:21

173 looks like Apocolypse Now or something, what is it?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Jul 2006, 15:34

D'oh!
No 35 is The Manchurian Candidate

No 69 is Kill Bill Volume 2 (you just type Kill Bill 2)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Jul 2006, 16:12

Got 92 so far (what I've done I've saved in my documents)

I don't have Microsoft Excel.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Jul 2006, 16:40

Don't you Microsoft Office? Excel is a standard program in Windows, no?

(As is Word).

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 08 Jul 2006, 16:46

No. I have Microsoft Works Spreadsheet. But it can't open the .xls file which it says is encrypted or password protected.

I'm not missing out on anything. I'm using Safari on the iMac

, and there's no way in hell I'd install IE on it.

grim_tales wrote:Don't you Microsoft Office? Excel is a standard program in Windows, no? (As is Word).

Nope, it's not standard within Windows (or any OS for that matter). Some computers give you a trial version of it, but on most you've gotta buy it separately.

BiscLimpkit wrote:Dude you're totally missing out.

Now, on that, I can say yes, without Excel, you're missing out on some fun

Ok, including a new batch going up to 50 then, I don't know Nos. 30, 35, 36, 37, 43, 45, 46 and 49.
Lots of them there

P.S. I'm sure I have #45; do I have to spell it incorrectly?

Okay, sorry to leave you hanging so long.

I've been away all day, so let's get you back up to speed, shall we?

#37 - yes, the guy with moustache is correct. Why don't you look at this link: http://www.filmsite.org/scenesD.html

#43 - Screen legends who married, divorced, then married again!

#45 - Hmmm, what's that in the background? What's it ON, not over?

#46 - a cult classic about a Coke bottle in Africa

#49 - from the same director as #300 (which has one too many of the letter "L" in it, btw - #300, that is)

Also, since I'm back, may I say that I do not like that people are posting answers here, even if they are in spoilers?

Just clues, people.

Well she's not in the screengrab there, but she is the female lead of the film. If you know your westerns, you could think about which one has a beautiful and shapely Italian actress as the lead. She's internationally famous, and looks like hers aren't commonplace. I'm guessing she'd probably be around sixty-something now?

No, no external sites! Memory alone (with clues) or bust

To be fair, I think I might bust at this

#45 - Hmmm, what's that in the background? What's it ON, not over?

Dammit, my fault in terms of how that transportation structure was placed

#46 - a cult classic about a Coke bottle in Africa

OK, I thought my clues were a little difficult to fathom

Well, you probably haven't seen it, then, as a film like this is one that sticks with you.

Imagine you are living the simple life in Africa, when all of a sudden, a Coke bottle drops out of the sky. Why, where did this come from? It must be madness!

And as for #45, I did the same thing at first, which is why I suspected you had made the same prepositional error.

I would imagine, with a synopsis like that, I would remember that film. If I can remember the name of a film from a screenshot of fairly non-descript hall, I doubt I would forget the journey of a Coke bottle in Africa

That being said, I have no idea about the title

I've got an excuse, I'm an English equivalent of a hick. But you're a teacher! What exactly are those kids learning?

But seriously, is it grammatically correct to say 'on' and not 'over' in that context? I used to consider myself quite good at English; might need to re-assess that
