Name the Movie!
- Thread starter onomatopoeia
- Start date
Final answer?, (see post #170).
The subtitle is VERY important - it's hard-coded in this particular film, which has its own imdb page and release year.
"...depending on how pedantic you are being...": See post #170. You are the beneficiary of several Correct! answers, mostly in Round 1, from other players who neglected to include articles or were imprecise with their film names. Stealing an answer based on a 'Regis' given to another player if fair dinkem in this game.

Name the movie.
Sorry, @rafterman, I can't give this one to you, because you replied to a reply post, rather than to the original question post. Finding the original question post is part of the game. @Valcazar has since answered this one correctly, quoting the original question post.
I cannot figure out how in the hell you are getting all these movies.
A film nitrate nerd, silver screen savant or in cahoots with 'onomatopoeia'?
What's your angle?
@Valcazar: Other than the two Regis' in reply post #'s 991 and 992, ALL of your answers in post #s 948 through 990 are Correct!. Props, you are a god at this game.
Just to show you that I'm not completely pedantic, I did give you some leniency with #986.
The on screen titles:
I don't consider the word "in" to be a necessary part of the movie name, as it's quite common for on screen titles to differ from the actual movie name in this manner. I would have considered your answer to be equally Correct! if 'in' had been included, or if your answer had been All You Need is Cash. "The Rutles" alone would have been considered incomplete.
Trivia note: While this TV movie is now considered a mockumentary classic, when it first aired on NBC, (March 22, 1978), it finished DEAD LAST in that week's Neilsen TV ratings.

He's just very, very good at this game.
As mentioned previously, no one can cheat at this game through a reverse image search, because I make all of the screen caps myself, I use 'drag and drop' to insert them, and the file names are all random letter and number combinations.
I DO chose the screen caps VERY carefully, so that none of these are impossible to answer.
The level of difficulty is also intentionally unequal. The players who see the questions first have a decided advantage. In other trivia threads, @unassuming often nabs the easy questions in a round, because he's on the board before the crack of dawn almost every day. The Round 3 questions were all posted between 4:15 and 5:34 AM today, and several were answered correctly before I was finished.
I have no vested interest in the outcome of this game, and I am hopeful that ALL of these movies can be correctly identified by someone.
Then, specifically,
Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West
(and yes, the subtitle is what clued me in)
Sorry.
You want these in original replies, not reply to replies.
Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West
A bit of a silver screen nerd and also pretty good at cross referencing off of other clues in the pictures.
In this case, I almost did answer just "The Rutles".
Actually, I almost answered Yellow Submarine Sandwich because I was half convinced the short came before the documentary, but I looked it up.
I took my final spelling from IMDB.
The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (TV Movie 1978) ⭐ 7.3 | Comedy, Music
1h 16m | Not Rated

Other than to provide amusement and intellectual/ memory challenge, ALL of the trivia threads are designed to generate the maximum number of page views. If ALL of the questions were too easy, the first person who sees them would answer all of them. If ALL of the questions were too difficult, few people would open the thread more than once.
The format allows people to play 'as amateurs' long after the questions have been answered, because the questions and answers rarely appear on the same page.
