Topic: A Different Kind of "Name That Movie" Game

Okay, this is a little bit different than name that quote, and you all might not even like it, but here is how it goes:

You go to IMDB, look up the movie you want to use, and then pick three or four official Plot Keywords. You put them here and people guess the movies based on the key words. I chose a mix of some pretty easy ones, and a couple older ones. Hopefully we'll like it and it'll add a little variety [Smile]

If no one gets them after a day, I'll post more keywords and we'll take it from there. I'll impose the same three guesses per hour rule that the other game had, so everyone can have a better chance to get a crack at it. Have fun!

1. Rainy Night, Eccentric, Wrench, Butler - Clue, maui babe

2. Prayer, Vigilante, Cat, FBI Investigation - Boondock Saints, Stray

3. Owl, Wizards' Duel, Medieval - Sword in the Stone, erosomniac

4. Father Son Estrangement, Freemason, FBI, Invisible Ink - National Treasure, TheGrimace

5. Rabbit, Catapult, Singing, Dismemberment - MP & The Holy Grail, Dagonee

6. Male Frontal Nudity, Pope, Dominatrix, Brother Sister Relationship - Eurotrip, vonk

7. Potion, Talking Animal, Angel and Devil, Birthday Song - Emperor's New Groove, Brinestone

8. Sister Sister Relationship, Choreography, Ski Resort, General - White Christmas, Amilia

9. Paris, Statue, Forgery, Con Artist - How to Steal a Million, Amilia

10. Nazi, Motorcycle Chase, Book Burning, Library - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, maui babe

11. Lifeguard, Bus Ride, Guitar, Cookie - Stranger Than Fiction, Brinestone

12. Harlem, Organized Crime, Pizzeria, Music Video - The Last Dragon, Strider

13) Drag racing, slumber party, opposites attract, hair color - Grase, Juxtapose

14) Actor playing multiple roles, happy pill, men in drag, corporate crime - Kids in the Hall Brain Candy, Sterling

maui babe - 2
Amilia - 2
Brinestone - 2
Dag - 1
Stray - 1
eros - 1
The Grimace - 1
Strider - 1
vonk - 1
Juxtapose - 1
Sterling - 1

What the heck, I'll add on the other ones people are tossing out there. Why don't we cut it off at like 15 or so though, that way we could do it in rounds like the other movie guessing game. Sound good?

I added the 11-14 questions to the top, even though I really have no clue as to what the answers are, but I think we should cut it off at 15 or so, so we can do rounds and have people win and carry it on to the next round, like the other movie guessing game.

Or we could just throw them out willy nilly, it's up to you guys.

Full Monty is incorrect. Grease sounds correct to me, but I'm not sure.

Interesting game. I had to look them up and I wouldn't have gotten the rest.

BTW: It wasn't very easy to find out how to look these up in the first place.

7, 8 9 are all correct.

And sorry, for anyone who doesn't know, you search the movie on IMDB, open it's page, then it'll give you the genre, and some other details above the cast list. One of the lines says I think "Plot Keywords" and you should be able to click a link at the end of that line that opens a large list of keywords. You choose from those.

Unless Nighthawk meant that it was hard to look up the movies based solely on their keywords, which makes sense, it'd be damned hard. In which case, disregard my second explanation.

Which ones haven't been guessed? I'm a bit confused.

4 were added on to my additional 10. I don't know the answers to them, so we'll have to wait and see from their authors whether or not they are correct. From my original list, number six has not been guessed.

eros, maui and dag will have to tell us if they are correct. Then we can end the round.

#13 should be Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, but I doubt it is. (I looked on IMDB and those doesn't seem to be on the list of keywords.)

We are not going to discuss why I know about Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow.

Grease had already been guessed (Juxtapose) way back.

But I do have a John Travolta connection myself. In the interests of his privacy, I will not divulge.

Sorry about that, I was at work all day and just got a chance to update it.

Three way tie between Amilia, Brinestone and maui babe. A tiebreaker could take forever in this game, so I'm going to say whoever claims it first can do the next round.
