Movie Tag Lines

[GlosRFC]

Not sure if any of these have appeared before but, if it helps, they're in chronological order. They're all well-known films and most should be identifiable from the tag line so NO Googling:

Good Lord...are there any left? :D

[bigcumba]

Good Lord...are there any left? :D

I've got most of them on video - quite a few classics in there (and Critters:laugh )

King Kong is one of the all time greatest movies - can't wait to see what Peter Jackson does with it though - should be good. There's a new DVD box set of KK coming out soon - apparently it's been put together brilliantly with previously lost footage, interviews, all sorts of stuff. That's a 2 disc set - a 4 disc set has the sequel (and under-rated) Son Of Kong and the original Mighty Joe Young from 1949 - that's another wee classic movie, made by the same team that did KK. :)

I'd recommend every one of the films on the list here for one reason or another - Critters is just plain daft and funny though!

[GlosRFC]

I thought you'd probably get most of them and yes, Critters is daft but it's a hoot to watch and the tag-line is certainly one of the funniest. I wouldn't be surprised if you've got the missing answers in your video collection too - they're all classics or sufficiently well-known.

I suspect you'll do as well in my follow-up quiz...Movie closing lines!!

[Fadetoblack]

19. Weird Science?
10. Confidence?
21. Speed?

[GlosRFC]

One out of three there, FTB

19...This is more of a chick-flick
10...while this is more of a buddy film.

[Fadetoblack]

ah...

19. Thelma and Louise
10. Could this be my favourite movie of all time....The STING!

[GlosRFC]

Bonus question for BigC...."More howls than you can shake a shiver at!!!"

[GlosRFC]

Correct on both counts

[bigcumba]

I wouldn't be surprised if you've got the missing answers in your video collection too - they're all classics or sufficiently well-known.

I suspect you'll do as well in my follow-up quiz...Movie closing lines!!

I'll miss your follow up if it's tonight - give other folk a chance while I'm off boozing over at a mates house...

I'm guessing now -

22 - Chicken Run (and yes I've got the video)
20 - must be the Sting surely?
19 - chick flick - has to be Thelma & Louise going by the chronological order..

[Fadetoblack]

should have gettin the sting one straight away!

[bigcumba]

Bonus question for BigC...."More howls than you can shake a shiver at!!!"

That's from the best Abbott and Costello movie - A & C meet Frankenstein! No matter how much I watch that one I still find it very funny. :D

[GlosRFC]

Perhaps...the trickiest one is probably Q. 3 although it's probably the second most well-known film in the entire list

[GlosRFC]

Bonus question correct too!

I'll post the closing lines quiz as soon as this one's completed.

[bigcumba]

4- watched this the other night again - The Searchers

3 - has me stumped, but it must be 1939 onwards.... and no later than 1956 (that narrows it down a bit http://www.win2winracing.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

[GlosRFC]

The Searchers is right.

And it's definitely 1939 if that helps.

[bigcumba]

And it's definitely 1939 if that helps.

Ah, in that case it could be the Wizard Of Oz given we're looking at 'big' movies?

[GlosRFC]

Wizard of Oz is correct but it's a strange tag-line for that film.

I think some clues might be in order for the last two:

6. A thriller masterpiece - these things will do far worse than mess on your car.
8. Features a famous duel and plenty of pig squealing!

[bigcumba]

Ah, you've done it now - The Birds, and Deliverance. :)

[GlosRFC]

Well done. I thought 8 was quite easy which I suppose it is when you read the tagline again.

[bigcumba]

Well done. I thought 8 was quite easy which I suppose it is when you read the tagline again.

It is actually, I think I overlooked it when I was going through them. ANother great film though!
