Take a look at this paintingand try to find the titles to 50 movies released in the last 20 years.
Keep in mind it’s from Empire magazine so it might be a bit Anglo-centric.
Good luck!
I’m at 27, so far…so many red herrings in there.
Also 27, so far.
The cheerleaders had me for the longest damned time.
That was fun, though, if occasionally painful. I don’t think any of them are too obscure but I spent a while clicking random places on the painting to find out where the last couple of clues even were ><
I’m up to 34, finally. Still no idea what the cheerleaders are. The pair of musical instruments over by the pirates is evil. And clever. But mostly evil.
I can’t even see the picture, only the background…
Going counterclockwise from the bottom left, more or less, I see 45:
Liar, Liar
Pi
The Matrix
Zodiac
Signs
The Fisher King
Million Dollar Baby
Swimming with Sharks
Hook
Pirates of the Caribbean
Monsters, Inc.
Iron Man
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Happy Feet
Interview with the Vampire
The Dark Knight
Saw
Bolt
Pulp Fiction
Cloverfield
The Last King of Scotland
Scream
Stardust
The English Patient
Little Children
Children of Men
Milk
Chocolat (fittingly, these last two are next to each other)
The Piano (or The Pianist; either or both work for the same clue)
300
Gladiator
Trainspotting
Attack of the Clones (Cheerleaders… terrible clue, I took a few guesses)
Walk the Line
The Thin Red Line (same clue, sort of, as above, so I may be wrong on one)
Crash
Flags of Our Fathers
The Two Towers
No Country for Old Men
Traffic
Eagle Eye
Snakes on a Plane
The Crow (I think)
Moulin Rouge (it helps if you know what that means in French)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Tricky.
Me too, until I tried Internet Explorer. I was on Firefox before.
Yeah, I’m another one who is using Firefox and can’t see the picture. I assume there must be a plug-in or update we can use to see it, since I really don’t want to use IE.
Stuck at 49 :smack:
Top right has two clues. I got one, but not the other.
the sign with the red “no” symbol is driving me crazy
isn’t it The Caine Mutiny?
“No” is good start
the one with the old people in it?
No country for old men
The crow and Iris
Thing in the tower
Red windmill
The brick
Those are what I don’t know…
A very, very famous movie starring some famous people is called “Red Mill” - in fact, it has a big red windmill in it - but not in English.
Using RickJay’s spoiler, I’m able to get 48. The only two I’m missing are the big 20 (20 years in ice, or something?), and the woman dropping the… brick? Book? out of the tower.
There was a similar puzzle some time back sponsored by M&M, that was all dark movies (to celebrate dark chocolate M&Ms).
EDIT: Oh, and there are a few things arguably in the picture that don’t count as correct. The vehicles driving to the dragon would make more sense as “Cars”, for instance, but they’re not.
It’s not the thing in the tower, it’s the tower(s) themselves.The Two Towers
Red windmill is
Moulin Rouge
The brick is…
brick
the big 20 is…
Ice Age
The brick is…
brick
edit: Why would it count as incorrect? The true answer is still just as valid…
traffic
Just as, maybe, but it still marks “Cars” in red.
And amusingly, when you finish, it even acknowledges that the clue for Attack of the Clones is fiendish.
