You are wrong about #18. Grand Moff Tarkin had problems with his footware, not Darth
(actually true, Peter Cushing had very big feet and they could not get fitting boots, so he played most of it without shoes and was therefore for the most part filmed in a way that did not show his lower body)
1 wrong out of 20 for Sib NoName, then! That'll give her a solid "B+" or a slightly runny "A-".
Okay ...I'll bite...
1. The Poseidon Adventure , directed by The towering Inferno guy ?
2. Mermaids ?
3. The pollution coming out of trains ?
4.The Maginot Line ?
8.The Seekers ?
13. Errol Flynn ?
16. Sound ?
Unfortunately no direct hits yet.
1. Off by several decades (answer can be found in the wikipedia)
2. The movie has been mentioned several times here in the forum (by now even with pictures)
3. You will find the answer on the imdb. It's a visual effect.
4. That's not a still common name for the border (and also covered only parts of it). Hint: the sought-for border runs East-West not North-South. Edit: You have mentioned it yourself on this forum :mrgreen:
8. Clarification: The sought-for movie was the direct inspiration for plot and characters. It is not one of the WW2 movies that he copied for the space battle scenes (like The Dambusters or Mosquito Squadron)
13. Nicely walked into the trap (Flynn did not play the famous Dumas character but his sought-for predecessor did)
16. That's the right direction because it has to do with sound but that is not an invention named after a movie. Btw, the movie title has been inserted into several other movies as an in-joke or as a hommage (including the one sought in question #5). Hint: Strictly spoken it is 2 movies by the same director, the first the amateur version, the second (of the same title) made it famous.
Better quote the questions, so the checking is easier.
#4 AHA! The border/movie in question is " The 49th Parallel " !
#8 The Seven Samurai ?
#13 The actor is the great Douglas Fairbanks Sr.
1) The 1943 version of "Titanic"
3) Are they both in black and white?
8 ) Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress"?
14) "Kind Hearts and Coronets" All eight murdered family members are played by Alec Guiness
15) I think the movie was "Fail Safe" (and it's a great movie IMHO) and Henry Fonda played the president.
#17 David Niven in "The First of the Few" . I forget who played R.J.Mitchell.
#1 "A Night To Remember" is too late to have been the first I suppose?
#4 "49th Parallel"
#1. " A Night to Remember " ?..." Watch Out For That Iceberg " ?..."This Ole Tin Can " ?..." Oh The Water's Cold " ?..." Voyage to The Bottom Of The Sea "?..." Down to The Sea In A ship " ?..." Captain Incompotent ? "
Hmmmmm...Maybe it was Gene Kelly instead of Dougie Fairbanks ?
Correct answers until now:
#4 Bruder Cuzzen (and beagle a bit later): 49th parallel
#8 Opsanus Tau: The Hidden Fortress
#13 Bruder Cuzzen: Douglas Fairbanks sen.
#14 Opsanus Tau: Kind Hearts and Coronets, Alec Guiness
#15 Opsanus Tau: Fail Safe
#17 beagle: David Niven in The First of the Few
---
#1 search much earlier!
#3 there are more than 2 b/w films in the world, that is not an eye-catching effect
1. saved from the titanic 1912 - no idea who directed it
2. hand colouring of certain parts of the otherwise black and white film
18. dave Prowse (better known as the UK Green Cross Code Man) was the body of darth (not the voice) and played hotblack desiatos bodyguard
6. juggernaut 1974 - captain alex brunel is played by omar sharif - the ship is named the ss britanic (strangely the same name as the sister ship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMHS_Britannic) of the titanic). The Maxim Gorkiys near miss with disater when bombed was very similar to the fate of the britannic which sank after striking a mine in 1916.
1. captains log supplemental.... director was Étienne Arnaud and the film starred real titanic survivor Dorothy Gibson
20. team amrica: world police
I vote Goat is disqualified for quintuple posting :mrgreen:
Goat got the year right for #1 (1912) but not yet the title and director (it's on wikipedia)
What is looked for is a full-length movie, not an actuality.
Fully correct are: #4,6,18,20
Essentially correct #3 (not 2). I was looking for the selective colorizing of a b/w movie, the little girl in the red coat in particular.
11) "Snakes on a Plane". I think I remember hearing Jackson say on The Daily Show that he wanted in just because of the title.
#1 " The Poseidon Adventure " , " Voyage of the Neptune" , " The Unsinkable Molly Brown " ? Un Nacht und Eis ? 1912 , unnamed German director ?...Mime Misu .

#9, Dersu Uzala was Kurosawa's only non-Japanese movie and made in the Soviet Union (in Russian)
#19 Hugh "Playboy" Hefner financed Polanski's Macbeth creating an outrage among critics before anyone had a chance to actually see the finished film.

That leaves questions #2 (seafood*), #10 (serial killer in drive-in), #12 (Korean dangerous liaisons), #16 (cinema improvement**)
*infos can be found in this forum (including pictures)
**something in the sound department

Regarding Porter/Spielberg (#3): In Schindler's List a little girl can be seen during the German attack on the Warsaw Ghetto with a coat colorized pink/red. The same coat can later be seen when the mass graves are opened and the corpses burned. In Porter's Great Train Robbery the gagged station master is found and freed by a little girl whose coat is colorized pink/red.
I knew it was a Holocaust movie with the little girls coat--- I've seen both more than once too- I've never seen that Great Train Robbery-- I think I'll have to get it on NetFlix.
I am determined to get something 'correct' around here.
so we still have #2, #10,#12, #16--

2) Is it one of the Japanase Sci Fi movies?
16) THX, after THX 1138?
Oh --- I bet it is THX!

balls to that swato!!!
your question said...
1. What was the first movie about the sinking of the Titanic, when was it made and who directed it?
and i got it right. appeared less than one month after the sinking and it was not just as newsreel film it was also a story about how a womans possible marriage to a sailor was affected by being a survivor of the titanic. It was also one of the first movies to use colour which surely qualifies it as a proper film.
NOT TO MENTION the fact that your german clap trap is only 35 minutes long which is in no sense a full length movie ...... Lawrence of Arabia was a full length movie!
so either admit that mine is right or im taking my bat and ball home!
:mrgreen:
....grumble grumble bloody capitalists grumble moan grumble......
He's not a bloody capitalist yet, he's still a graduate student until the dissertation's done! :krabbie: :krabbie: :krabbie: :whip: :froglick:
#2 The Sea Turtle and the Hare .
I'm not sure capatilist and graduate student are mutually exclusive. ;)
#16 goes to Opsanus Tau for THX 1138
The way question #1 was worded here Saved from the Titanic would have been indeed correct. The intended answer (In Nacht und Eis) is correct with the conditions accidentally left out in the first version(and 35 minutes was exceptionally long in 1912). Damn those unreliable movie dictionaries!
---
#2 is indeed a Japanese movie (how did you guess ;)?) and has been mentioned (with pictures) on this forum more than once.
No excuse therefore for not having heard of it.
Btw, in total there are three (two soft, one hard) marine beings competing fo the title* (and the belt that comes with it)
#10 and #12 can be easily wikied, so why does it take so long?
*of the sports contest, not the movie
Is #2 one of the Gojira (Godzilla) movies?
# 2 wins a belt huh?
Wiki searching is almost like cheating ..
Anyway , I found " Untold Scandal " .
#2, no Godzilla movie although the traditional men in rubber suits portray the "seafood".
Again, this movie has been mentioned on this forum often enough to make a wiki search unnecessary. The Korean adaption of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" may be a bit too much to know without doing a search (I would not know it without it being available on DVD and me stumbling on it in the shop).
The Sushi Olympics?
Dangerous Liasons isn't Untold Scandal ?...Arrgh back to Wiki...
Hah, finally caught my eye with the Korean movie there, must look (won't ask the wife, that's cheating). I'm more familiar with Hollywood remakes of Korean movies, or rumours thereof...
EDIT: Saw that B.Cuz has the movie, just looking for title variations perhaps (although "Untold Scandal" seems to be the main English variant).... Hmm, I think we have that somewhere, but I don't think I've seen it (not sure if it's subtitled properly). Have other favorite Korean vengeance movies...
Sorry :-[, didn't notice that Bruder Cuzzen solved #12 (or did he edit it in later ???)
#12, Untold Scandal is the Korean adaption of Les Liaisons Dangereuses
That leaves the serial killer in the drive-in with the famous actor question and the sportive seafood (I dropped enough hints for the latter)

If 35 minutes was exceptionally long (say the equivalent in modern times of
The Cure for Insomnia at 87 hrs) then at 10 minutes Saved from the Titanic would be the equivalent of 25hrs long making it the something like
Die Zweite Heimat - Chronik Einer Jugend. That is one long film! :mrgreen:
Please rest assured that i accept your unreserved apology for so heinously maligning my answer and that your offer of £1000 in compensation for mental stress and inconvenience is entirely acceptable. rest assured that I will put this towards the peoples struggle (and not spend it on a PS3 and a bunch of games.... honest!).
lots of love
Goat
I am almost positive I've seen both of the movies in question, but am thick. Will you please drop a few more hints, Perfessor?
There are several hints in the Games and Jokes section for the seafood and also iirc 3 different pictures on the forum in general.
We both actually joked about the topic of the film before I got my hands on it (maybe even before I heard of it, the general theme came up independently).
---
Maybe you should wiki under the most specific word in the serial killer question (I checked, it's mentioned there)
Release the Squilla!
Oh! "The Calamari Wrestler"?
Correct
#2, Opsanus Tau, The Calamari Wrestler
Review for that film will be posted in the Humbleodeon
Just one question left (before the already prepared next quiz)
10. What actor defeated a serial killer in a drive-in cinema that at the same time ran a movie starring him?
As I have said, easy to wiki.
not the right answer because the villain is not really a serial killer but does that not happen sort of in The Last Action Hero?
is it boris karloff in targets?
10: Kolchak: The Nighstalker (made for TV movie and series also) ???????
Oh , how I loved that Darren McGavin , the new later series was a disappointing as well as short lived .
Goat got it
#10, Boris Karloff in (Moving) Targets
He plays an old-school horror actor in that. His last movie is played at the drive-in. The serial killer hides behind the screen and shoots people in their cars (perfect setting because nobody notices for quite some time). When Karloff in the end confronts the guy, the killer can't decide where to shoot for a critical moment because on the screen Karloff is also approaching.
-----------------------------------
End results
Bruder Cuzzen: 7
Goat: 6
Opsanus Tau: 6
Beagle: 1
Given alternative and independent correct answers, I declare that a tie for the first trio

9 "The Lavender Hill Mob"

I object to the results of the last quiz. No one proved my answers weren;t correct. On My Hill they were all completely accurate.

Good start this time. :balloon:

#18, Opsanus Tau, Casino Royale
#20, Marvin and Mifune in Hell in the Pacific
---
No, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is no recent movie (and I do not know, if it is death by impact)
Hint: the vegetable in question is believed by the public to be rich in Vitamin A
No, Nosferatu has elongated incisors, not canines as explicitly stated in question. An example of the vampire not showing its teeth is the Lugosi Dracula (and its Spanish version produced in the same sets).
I know that Attack of the Killer Tomatos is not recent--- so it is incorrect- but it is still worth about 5 bazillion style points! besides aren't tomatos technically fruits?
I think Chortle Tokens should be awarded for humorous answers. Anthro and NoName should have stacks by now.
I agree.
13 Yojimbo and Sanjuro
15 Christiane Kubrick in "Paths of Glory"
Bonus question. From where is the title a quote?
5 Both sequels, both by United Artists, both have ludicrous plots.
8 Silk.
Hmmmm...#5 May it be that both movies star Ruddy Valintino and the notorious kissing scene ?
Don't think he was in the Zorro one; Think that was the last Reagan film before he took up politics. Or something.
12 Barbarossa?
16 The Baby Cart Series. Sword of Vengeance, Baby Cart at the River Styx, Baby Cart to Hades, Baby Cart in Peril, Baby Cart in the Land of Demons, and White Heaven in Hell
(Using perambulator instead of pram was a bit of a giveaway pram was a good search term).
19 Moebius
#8, beagle, Silk
#12, beagle, Akahige (Redbeard) is sometimes found as Barbarossa in movie dictionaries
#13, beagle, Mifune takes the name of Kuwabatake Sanjuro (Mulberry field 30) in Yojimbo and Sanjuro by Kurosawa
#15, beagle, Paths of Glory
#16, beagle, Lone Wolf and Cub aka the Baby Cart series
#19, beagle Moebius
Remaining
1,2,4,6,11,14,17
There is a special parallel between Son of the Sheikh and Don Q - Son of Zorro. Hint: It required a special effect.
Hint 1,2,14 have been mentioned in the forum already
Hint for #6: made in America but not in the US. There was a sequel to it too
Looks like beagle is unbeatable this time (wait for quiz #3 ::) )
mwa ha ha ha ha ha - the Oscar is mine....
Sorry, got carried away for a minute. Actually I thought Yojimbo was a Southern U.S. greeting until I Googled.
'Oy, you skipped my right answer to #18, ya Blaggard! :taz:
(Oi needs me brownie points or it's no brownies for me! :( )
# 11 The Life of Brian ?

Nope. I didn't. I only announce new correct answers, yours was in the last one already

#6,11,17 all wrong
There was a geographical hint for #6 (and although many German are in America, Germany is not (at least not as a nation state)
Hint for #17, the god of animation did it
Hint for #11, the movie takes place around the founding of modern Israel
Dear swato. I am sure you are thinking of a different film from later on made in german but....
4. is whisky galore
and number 17 is it came from beneath the sea
but it is an octopus
not a squid
so i am probably wrong again ;D
and i think number 2 is the final curtain
number 1 must surely be Shoot em up
Quote from: goat starer on January 15, 2008, 11:45:23 AM
Dear swato. I am sure you are thinking of a different film from later on made in german but....
4. is whisky galore
Nice try Goat, but I already did that one a page or two back.
A few hits for the goat
#1, Shoot'em Up, Clive Owen loves carrots (and mentions the Vitamin A thing iirc) and kills several people with them (e.g. impact through the eye socket) in this very entertaining (and absurd) movie.
#2 The Final Curtain with Peter O'Toole
#17, It came from beneath the Sea, tricks by Ray Harryhausen (but they could afford only 6 arms for the giant cephalopod* that tears down the Golden Gate Bridge)
*most common dictionaries (those that do not specialize in marine biology) use squid as a general synonym for cephalopod, including octopus, calmar, sepia...
The German equivalent Tintenfisch (inkfish) is used the same way

just swato trying to confuse me again... I think he has it in for me!
Also whilst both squid and octopus (ses) are cephlapods squid have 8 arms and 2 tentacles whilst octopus have 8 arms. As the one in the film has no tentacles just 6 arms (there is a distinction) it must be an octopus (also because it looks like one and the film says it is one) or the question makes no sense at all since the question implies that the number of similar appendages has been reduced for budgetary reasons. If it were a squid it would have had two similar appendages and two different appendages removed for budgetary reasons. (it makes no sense at all anyhow as a squid or octopus with 6 tentacles rather than arms would be a mutant).
Describing it as a giant squid (
Architeuthis which is a specific creature within a family of an order of a class) would be like describing
Tarka the Otter as being a film about an elephant.
Both are of the class mammalia just as both giant squid and octopus are of the class cephalopoda.
any dictionary that says that all squid and octopus are cephalopods is right
but not all cephalopods are squid.
a fairly basic principle of logic.
yours pedantically
Goat
PS. a long time ago i learned never to be the quiz master
Exactly how much money would be saved per missing appendage?
^ must be in man hours rather than the high price of silly putty..... Oh ...that reminds me of Slinkys ...I saw one made of plastic a few years ago .

Probably depends on the current price of sushi.
my brother made an 'arm' (tentacle) for the Badly Drawn Boy video for You Were Right
the video is here (arms (tentacles) at about 2mins 40)......
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K1BNOzDnOLI (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K1BNOzDnOLI)
those are real model tentacles (arms) knocking down the plane. I have seen them in the flesh (or soft polyeurothane foam in a latex shell i am informed by a sleepy paul)
he tells me it would cost about £500 at current prices for each casting (cost price) above the first one. not much of a cost all things considered.
and he is sitting behind me (well sleeping)
so it must be right
The more we learn about Goat the stranger he gets. A brother who makes his arms for him !! I get mine from the supermarket.
Brothers or arms?
Brothers-at-arms?
I am not responsible for the content of dictionaries (some non-biological wikipedia entries excepted). And while we are pedantic: 'giant squid' (generic hypertrophe cepahlopod) is not 'Giant Squid' (architeuthis or mesonychotheutis). The film beast is a radioactive mutant anyway (btw, the octopus in Bride of the Monster is also referred to as squid iirc. Why should I not trust a mad scientist like Bela Lugosi over a left-leaning goat?).
Compromise: let's convene a squid convention in the pond behind the lab to deal with the controversy (or the one who brough it up).
Brothers in tentacles?

whilst we are being pedantic i dont believe that one capitalises the names of animals when describing them. When I say Tarka the Otter is an elephant (which I believe is your basic premise here) the Otter is capitalised because it is his given name and the name of the film. Elephant is not. In your question it is ambiguous whether you are reffering to a giant squid or a very large squid.
and it is an octopus in any case.
see you at the pond
Goat
Again a topic where dictionaries differ. Some use capitalizing, some use insert name here for specific species in order to clarify that they use the adjective as part of the specific name, not as a generic.
Pepare to meet the haruspex!
Aren't capitals a bit different in German?

It's OK, the boys are going out back to the Squid Pond. They're not aware that I have been tossing my extra meds into that pond, and the effect of some of this stuff (especially the hormone regulators and the growth regulators) may have played havoc with the assorted squid-like critters.
Ummm, d'you think they'll notice that the "Giant Squiddies" have all gone zebra striped, and are only 7 feet tall?
Don't kill them off until I've got my quiz prize. I've been working on a suitably modest acceptance speech (aprox running time 3 hours), complete with amusing off-the-cuff topical remarks. So someone finish off the difficult questions I couldn't do, and don't even think of using the scriptwriters' strike as a pathetic excuse to cancel the lavish celebratory banquet.
But before the celebration there are still a few questions to answer.

I repeat: many answers can be found on this forum itself.
Is Dante's Inferno one of the movies .
Nope (and for what question btw? I guess #14)
As a reminder: Open questions:
6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?
Hints:
#6 has to do with the founding of modern Israel
#7 not English but American (not US)
#14 Look East or search the forum

Indeed they can. But unfortunately none of them relate to this blinking Quiz. ;D
Perhaps you could make the next quiz be about cephalopods? I know lots about them!
:inky: :squidlings: :squidlings: :squidlings:
We had the Calamari Wrestler in the last one and that what came from beneath the sea (and which might have been an octopus in some scenes) in this one.
#14 can be found and not just in a passing remark. Even the crappy search function should yield it.
#7 can be found on wikipedia (unless someone killed the info since I last checked (a few hours ago)
#11 How many movies (not documentaries) are there actually about the founding of Israel? Hint: the hero is an American Jew who does not speak Hebrew, which will be his death in the end. Portrayed by a very famous actor. Film includes also the secret building of a road to Jeruslaem to break a siege.
Exodus? Quo Vadis? The Silver Chalice ? The Robe ? Demetrius and The Lion ?
Nope! We are talking about modern Israel, so sandal movies don't fit and it is not Leon Uris' Exodus either (to avoid confusion: Exodus can refer to several movies, none is the right answer here)
Hint: the protagonist's son had his debut in this film as an uncredited jeep driver
I botched the numbers a bit in the posts below. So here the questions again
5. What is the parallel (apart from being b/w silent sequel movies with similar titles) between "The Son of the Sheikh" and "Don Q – Son of Zorro"?
It has something to do with the actors and required a special effect
6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
It's American but not US or in English
Can be found easily on wikipedia
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
See above
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?
Answer can be found on the forum (even with our crappy search function)
Quote from: Swatopluk on January 18, 2008, 01:56:50 PM

mainly the scenes that it was in. i believe it may haven in fact been a hexopus (http://showcase.sfdt.com/viewmovie.php?t=51016)
#5. They were the first to wear "pancake" makeup ?
Nope
Maybe visiting the Humbleodeon occasionally will yield some answers.
What casts so large a shadow on your otherwise so brilliant minds, my dear siblings?
Quote11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
I can only remember that film where whosit gets on a bus and speaks english by mistake instead of gerrman and hence gets re-captured. my brain is mush at present.
DOH ! The filing cabinets in my brain are full , I viewed these productions but ??????
Ummmm....the silent films...did they involve a " split screen " with the lead actors playing two parts ?
Bruder Cuzzen got the Don Q/Sheik part right.
Valentino/Fairbanks played both father and son in said movies. Both ending with a big fight where father comes to the rescue of son and both fighting back-to-back
I dropped a GIANT hint in my previous post concerning the Jew-doesn't-speak-Hebrew movie. The other two missing movies have been shown in the Humbleodeon (and btw I updated wikipedia on the vampire stuff some time ago)
So, here are the remaining questions (3rd quiz is ready for launch)
6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?
S' more stabs at 'em...Dracula pere et fils ?...Hellboy?
6 El Vampiro
14 High School Musical?
El Vampiro is correct.
I have never seen High School Musical, and it's not the one I was looking for
Still the large shadow of the killed Jew is cast over us us and the descent* to hell** remains open
*No, it's not The Descent
**also in the Humbleodeon
Everyone will gladly notice that I am not touching this with a 10 foot pole as I never get them correct and simply don't need the embarrasment....... :-[
I'll stick to making New Years treats.
High School Musical was a bit of a guess. Just remember the Telegraph reviewer saying it was his idea of Hell, which was as near as I could get to the clue.

Yes that is the hint but not towards "eccentric" mathematicians or pianists (i.e. the second half of what you marked is not part of the hint for #11)
Btw, I can't remember any theme music to the film.

Aha ! I found it...haven't found answer for the quiz though...
the answer to #14 is on page 3
For the killed Jew you have to go with the title hints above.
the actual scene is: hero has a chat with a guard then walks outside the gate. Before he comes back, the guard changes and the new one does not speak Englsih, while our hero doesn't speak Hebrew. As a result he is taken for an intruder and shot.
Another hint: the lead actor blew up a factory in Norway in another movie (mentioned in Quiz #1)
Aha ! Cast a Giant Shadow !

At least it was a rightish wrong answer. It's from Hamlet and the film was 1991.
How many ruddy films do they name from Hamlet each year ::) :) .
Too many. But I can't remember that Shakespeare (or the guy that actually wrote the stuff and had the initials W.S.) mentioned Star Trek in one of his surviving works (it might have in been in Gay Boys in Bondage but Sir Philip Sidney confiscated the script)
!5. Lee played Hamlet , Cushing played Osric .

Probably safe to say that was one of Marlowe's rather than W.S. , given his views on tobacco and boys.
19. Les Triplettes de Belleville

Both answers are essentially correct though Lee did not play Hamlet but just in Hamlet (as an uncredited spear-carrier). Cushing indeed played Osric.
Frau im Mond turned out so prophetic and technically detailed that the film was withdrawn from circulation in the 3rd Reich.
It was as if George Lucas had included detailed blueprints for a working X-Wing in Star Wars. The consultants for the movie included Oberth and von Braun (the latter still as student iirc).
Sibling Zono is also correct with
Les Triplettes de BellevilleBtw, wouldn't frogs be cheaper than the hand grenades used to catch them?
I'm not playing because i always ruin the game with pedantry :goatflag:

pedantically speaking i am not 'deliberately' depriving you as when the statement was made i was unaware that you derive pleasure from pedantry and would in any sense feel 'deprived' by the lack of it here.

Drat. The collective unconscious fails again. ;)
Yep, turns out it's pretty rubbish in the area of males interpreting female thought processes, though surprisingly accurate the other way round.
Apparently Jung was wrong, it turns out there are two collective unconsciousnesses. A male one concerned mainly with gearboxes, playstations, and what there might be for lunch, and also a female one concerned with relationships, long term planning and fabric samples.
(Actually I thought it was a euphemism for a commune of stoned hippies, but I digress).

17. What very British activity was taking place on the stage, when the bandits carried off the loot that was hidden under it in The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery?
Seen this, but I forget. From the clue I'd say one of:
A school prize-giving.
A pantomime.
Something involving a French maid's outfit and whips.
All of the above.
Nope
I might say that it is not British in origin but today seen as specifically British.
Btw, it is mentioned in Shakespeare's Henry V (by the Dauphin)
Tennis balls my liege?
No, a school stage is a bit small for tennis and other people do that too (it's not that exclusively British anymore).
The Dauphin mentions the activity in person (not by herald).
17. It must be tea time !
Nope (and to my knowledge Shakespeare doesn't mention tea)
Morris dancing?
Indeed. I think that reference in Henry V was the first non-Pratchettean I have seen and the St.Trinian's Train Robbery the first time I saw it actually done.
I'm sorry I've forgotten the number
but the countdown one
would it be
"The Day the Earth Caught Fire"? but possibly still not early enough a movie.
We already got the correct answer for that: Frau im Mond (Fritz Lang, b/w silent)
Sorry I'm late, I had to re-inflate my brain after the last one.
#9 is Harold in Harold and Maude, a lovely movie.
Is #16 The Jazz Singer ?
Loved the Triplets of Bellville.
#9 Harold indeed made his Porsche look like a hearse.
Now, what happened to the car in the end?
#16 We already had that repeatedly despite it already been answered correctly with Frau im Mond

There is a bit where a plane flies into the side of a hill. It is actually a B-17, not a Lancaster. They changed the name of Gibson's dog to "Trigger".

Or doing it barefoot. That is correct.
But do you also know why?
ummmm
he hadda bunyin on his foot ?
he had gout ?
he had smelly feet ?
Let's make it short: His feet were too big to comfortably fit into any available boots. Therefore he played most scenes without any footwear and was therefore filmed from the hip upwards.
