Greetings Maybe… but I worked in a video store, and was able to watch all the back catalogue of movies… and the movie blew my mind… I guess I should post a few of my own RM1: 2 Brothers kill 9 bad men while hanging from a rope (too easy) RM2: A dead man searches for a ring in a pawn shop (easy) RM3: A naked female assassin jumps backwards off a building (medium) RM4: A male assassin cares for a little girl and a plant (medium) RM5: A boy and a girl pretend to phone home while sitting opposite each other in a restuarant (hard) RM6: A woman watches a simulation of a garden, and then gets told her daughter is dead (very hard) In my humble opinion… all of the movies above are classics… Cheers Reuel ---

As a gift, I’ll tell you that RM6 is a scene from the director’s cut… but knowing that it gets downgraded from “Very Hard” to “Medium” Cheers Reuel ---

She gets shown a picture of her daughter as a really old lady. It totally explains why she would go back after Newt at the end… how it never made it into the original cut I will never know.

NDP 35 has been answered–it is “Gangs of New York.” NDP 33 and 34 are still unanswered. ---

I like ones that purposely leave out enough details so that you get a completely wrong mental image. Like: A small group of travelers watch a gate opening. They decide against passing through it. ---

NDP 34 - It’s not Harry Potter - The philisopher’s stone/The sorcerer’s stone, is it. I haven’t seen the film, but I’ve read the book, and it sounds like a scene from that. Here are some for you to guess: SF 1 - A woman is shot by a man, who is angry at her making fun of him when he can’t find a car. SF 2 - An audience respond to a stupid decision made on a stage, by collectively slapping their heads. SF 3 - An assasin is stopped when a fat woman falls on top of him from a great height. SF 4 - A cop, whilst trying to de-fuse a bomb, inadvertently causes a fuel leak. SF 5 - A man beats himself up in a toilet. ---

RM3 sounds like Aeon Flux, although that’s not a movie. TMD1 – A man in the middle of a fight wants more brandy. TMD2 – One man obsesses over the way another man’s car sailed off a mountain road. TMD3 – Two men driving home do not know that they have found what they set out to find. TMD4 – An old man interrupts a play about himself. TMD5 – A man is outcast for trying to seduce his leader’s woman with drugged food. ---

Greetings Nope… it’s a classis anime movie (and with that clue, it gets downgraded from Medium to easy)… cheers R ---
