Stupidly hard work quiz (help!)

If anyone remembers previous years my work sets a stupidly hard quiz for us to have a go at every Christmas. This year's is no different....

I've managed to complete the first 8 puzzles myself but now I'm stuck Xmas Sad Very frustrating as I've got the gist of the puzzles but can't figure out what the answer is!

Here's the first one and here's my answers. If anyone can figure out the final answer (two words 5,7) I'd be ever so grateful 😊

Not sure if this is really asking for help and quite strange you are so invested in a work quiz. however, as a start you could either post a correctly orientated picture or the question itself

InTropicalTrumpsLand · 07/12/2021 14:41

I'm hopeless at these, but I can't believe it's been a year!

Hiphopopotamus · 07/12/2021 14:42

Wait, I don’t understand what the numbers relate to in the brackets - it’s not the film title is it? Am I being really dense?

Hiphopopotamus · 07/12/2021 14:43

(By the way, I love your work quizzes - I remember these from years past!)

FoxgloveSummers · 07/12/2021 14:44

there isn't a 5,7 is there

PineappleWilson · 07/12/2021 14:45

I've rotated the images if that helps anyone find the answers.

The 5,7 is part of the title so the 'final' answer will be two words (5 letters then 7 letters)

Thanks @PineappleWilson !! I'm a bit thick with stuff like that Blush

Btw I've moved departments so this year we're playing for nothing but pride...Grin

hang on so they're all film quotes but weirdly then the last clue is just "twenty from the 20th?" (5,7) and it's not a film and could be anything - like a crossword clue?

PineappleWilson · 07/12/2021 14:48

I think it's the title "Twenty from the 20th" (5, 7) that she's trying to solve.

I wondered if the 7 was fathers, but it doesn't fit enough of the clues.

"Oscar winners" fits though. But again not sure if it fits enough of the clues.

FoxgloveSummers · 07/12/2021 14:48

so it's something like "movie quotes" but with an extra letter in quotes Grin ?

MrsPleasant · 07/12/2021 14:49

Oscar winners?

ApocalypseNowt · 07/12/2021 14:49

Yup. The puzzles don't tell you how to get to the answer, you have to figure it out yourself.

You then put your answer in and if it's right you get to go on to the next puzzle

Ha! Tried Oscar winners days ago. No joy!

OP posts:
FoxgloveSummers · 07/12/2021 14:50

ooh was just going to suggest oscar winners!

PineappleWilson · 07/12/2021 14:50

Block Busters?

TonTonMacoute · 07/12/2021 14:50

It's at the top, I assume Twenty from the 20th (5,7) is the clue but it's completely different from all the other questions!

ApocalypseNowt · 07/12/2021 14:51

Exactly

OP posts:
ApocalypseNowt · 07/12/2021 14:52

But the other questions should tell us what the answer is

OP posts:
GertrudeBElion · 07/12/2021 14:52

Score Century?

FoxgloveSummers · 07/12/2021 14:53

I don't think I totally get it - what is (2,9) about the Good Will Hunting quote for example? It's not the title or the quote

ApocalypseNowt · 07/12/2021 14:53

Nope ☹️

OP posts:
ApocalypseNowt · 07/12/2021 14:54

The 2,9 is probably going to point us to the answer. That's what I can't figure out

OP posts:
ChessieFL · 07/12/2021 14:54

Is it linked to the twentieth answer, so something to do with The Empire Strikes Back?

MrsFin · 07/12/2021 14:57

I don't get it either

The first clue is I See Dead People. What does the 8,14?

The film is The Sixth Sense, which doesn't fit 8,14
