I'm bored. You guys wanna play ? :D

DVD Mystère is a very popular games on french forums.

Here are the basic rules:
The player who won the previous round will post a screenshot from a movie.
-Asian movies are preferred, but not mandatory.
-Well-known movies are preferred, but not mandatory.
-A clue concerning the country of origin is preferred, but not mandatory.
-A minimum resolution of 640x360 is recommended.
-Avoid posting a screenshot that contains spoilers (key characters dying, etc...).
-Make sure the title of the movie is not contained in its filename or URL.
-No posters, no deleted scenes, no stills. Only the movie itself.


Guessing:
-Only one guess per player is allowed.
-A player can guess again only when the current gamekeeper tells him that his previous guess is wrong.
-If a player wins with multiple consecutive guesses, he will get only one point (only if the number of guesses is inferior to 4).
-The winner scores 3 points and becomes gamekeeper for the next round.
-In case 2 players win at the same time, they will both get one point.


**If the gamekeeper notices that the players can't find the movie, he should post a clue or a new screenshot (approx. 24h after posting the first shot).

**If the winner doesn't post a screenshot 24 hours after winning the previous round, I will take his place.

**If a movie has several titles in english-speaking countries, any of those titles are accepted. However, the only valid AKAs are the ones that can be found on hkmdb.com , imdb.com and hkflix.com databases.

The first player to reach 100 points wins.

Final Scores:
Tom2681 = 100 Points.
Markgway = 94 Points.
LostDragon = 75 Points.
Yi-Long = 50 Points.
BiscLimpkit = 42 Points.
Brooce-Leroy = 41 Points.
Knetan = 36 Points.
ReconFive = 21 Points.
Gasteropod = 21 Points.
The68Monkey = 16 Points.
RomeroJPG = 15 Points.
Grim Tales = 15 Points.
Slasher13 = 15 Points.
Keung94 = 13 Points.
Mordib = 12 Points.
EvaUnit2 = 9 Points.
Bradavon = 6 Points.

"2000 AD".

Sorry, guys, I'm out to work, so I'll only be able to post a new screenshot when I'm back. If anyone else wants to post a screenshot, go ahead and take my turn.

A Moment of Romance ?

LOL, Tom, there must be something wrong with you. The man in the picture is indeed Andy Lau, but he is out of focus. Could be anybody.

But yes, it is "A Moment of Romance". Your turn.

OMG, can't believe I won. :D (without having ever seen the film)

I was thinking of As Tears Go By, Moment of Romance and Full Throttle. Lucky Shot ! :wink:

OK, judging from the picture quality, I'd say this is a HK film.

BTW, you have to watch "A Moment of Romance". Wonderful film.
