@ApocalypseNowt have you and or MN ever won? And is there a prize?

It is fascinating

ApocalypseNowt · 09/12/2025 07:58

Morning! Netherlands is correct :)

Next one looks fun - I think you have to guess the film that being paid 'homage' to, then maybe the roman numerals correspond with a letter to make a sentence (haven't got that far yet though).

Just had a quick look and found 2. Basic Instinct, 3 Risky Business, 6. The Karate Kid, 9. The Godfather, 13. A Clockwork Orange, 14 Terminator 2?, 15. Silence of the Lambs, 18. The Shining, 19. Indiana Jones & the temple of doom,

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest - the one with Barney about to throw something out the window.

Tarkan · 09/12/2025 08:35

Think the way you’re counting it it’s no7 for Cuckoo’s Nest. Which means 8 with Mr Burns is Dracula.

PurpleCat88 · 09/12/2025 08:42

Could the Roman numerals mean the number letter you need from each film title? So first letter from dr strangelove = D

Bram Stoker's Dracula

Is the broken bauble Citizen Kane?

CapabilityBrownsHaHa · 09/12/2025 09:12

And the crashed prison bus The Fugitive?

CapabilityBrownsHaHa · 09/12/2025 09:16

The first one on the second page could be Goldfinger?

I am supposed to be a work, but these are fun! I guess I had a mis-spent youth - these are easier than the code stuff! lol

remember to include ‘the’ in film titles that have them or the counting of letters will be wrong e.g The silence of the lambs, not Silence of the lambs.
