Movie quiz can be fun. It’s like solving cross-words, Sudoku, puzzles etc. Give it a try. [ol] [li]The actor gazes at a woman in another apartment through a window/balcony/or some gap. As if on cue and as if responding to his gaze, the woman removes her outer garment and bares her bra-panty/bikini clad body. Era: Pre-2000. Do you remember the movie?[/li][li]One woman and two men are on a ship in the middle of a sea and nobody else. One guy misbehaves with the belle and the other seems a bit sober. They hold a cockroach/insect race to determine who gets the lady. The villainous guy later kills the sober one and throws his corpse off the ship. The movie has a lot of sensual scenes. Era: Pre-2000. Name the movie.[/li][li]A man and a woman are on a rotating bed. The dress woman wears, has a back so low that it shows her butt cleavage. Era: Pre-2000. Can you guess what movie it was?[/li][li]The man arranges for a vibrating bed. The couple has a conversation. The woman says, “How do I look?” The man replies, “You look beautiful.” He shows him a book showing various positions of mating. The woman goes away without showing interest. When she leaves, the man puts on the bed vibrator in her absence. Era: Pre-2000. Tell the movie name.[/li][li]This is a Sindbad kind of movie. The hero is somewhere in the ship. Some lady comes in and changes clothes without any inhibition. While she is changing, her posterior is visible in entirety from head to heels. Era: Pre-2000. So what was the movie name?[/li][/ol] ---
