Boss Radio, this quiz is for you
 
Guess the movies from only a single letter (not necessarily the first letter, even) from the poster art:

I did terribly.

LSPoorEeyorick 08-19-2008 05:08 PM

What's "terribly"? I was just glad to get 21 right without looking. I got a bunch wrong, and couldn't come up with any answer about 8 of them. Awesome quiz, though! I love movie key-art (well, that's good, isn't it? My job is pretty much all key art all the time.)

Ghoulish Delight 08-19-2008 05:08 PM

I think I got about 6 right. Maybe as many as 8 or 9. Clearly I'm not very tuned in to movie font design.

Kevy Baby 08-19-2008 05:09 PM

Wow. I'm not even gonna try. I saw a few that I knew, but I know I would suck on this one.

LSPoorEeyorick 08-19-2008 05:10 PM

Ooh! I looked at the answers - I was SO CLOSE on some of them! Some were sequels of the movie I guessed, some were at least in the right genre, like...

Spoiler:
Saturday Night Fever instead of my guess, Boogie Nights.

wolfy999 08-19-2008 05:22 PM

I got a whopping 4 right....3 of them Disney, go figure!

Alex 08-19-2008 06:18 PM

I still have this open in a window at work. Just did a quick pass before leaving and will do a more thorough attempt tomorrow.

In that pass got:

C-N --U --ESS --- ---SE MOV-ES FRO- --ESE ---TER-?

Kevy Baby 08-19-2008 06:31 PM

I'm surprised that I got 12 correct.

I got hung up on #28 due to a spelling error

CoasterMatt 08-19-2008 06:43 PM

I got 19... I see several of these posters every day at work :D

innerSpaceman 08-19-2008 06:45 PM

Tougher than I thought. 5. Sheesh.

Morrigoon 08-19-2008 06:53 PM

I got 8, out of 10 attempted

lashbear 08-19-2008 07:41 PM

15 for me.

Not Afraid 08-19-2008 08:45 PM

22 out of 24 guessed. I'm visual. I can't tell you the plot of most of these films, but I remember their look. :rolleyes:

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 08-19-2008 11:24 PM

14. I'm embarrased to have missed the classics and some of the most recent designs. Somewhat horrified I identified
Spoiler:
Show Girls but not Psycho.

LSPoorEeyorick 08-19-2008 11:28 PM

^ ditto, ditto, ditto.

CoasterMatt 08-19-2008 11:32 PM

I think if I would have gotten Psycho wrong, I'd have to take Psycho off my nametag.

blueerica 08-20-2008 07:33 AM

Will have to do this during a break, if my work computer will allow it...

Snowflake 08-20-2008 08:14 AM

Boy, revoke my movie buffery card, 9 right. At least I did get the classics, but, nonetheless, pretty stinko results.

I was thinking you would get a LOT more than that. I am surprised.

Well, me too. But in my defense (excuses excuses) many of the films I've not seen, nor had an interest, of I saw them and purged them from my memory!

More classic posters are more my meat

Boss Radio 08-21-2008 10:21 AM

Even though this quiz called me out, I could only identify 16 titles. There were a couple that were close...like "...of the Dead," but it is a lot of fun to deconstruct key art that we have all been exposed to (and desensitized by).

I bow to Lisa and Heidi.

I'm with Snowflake on this one - I would have done better if there were more classic titles.

Gemini Cricket 08-21-2008 10:59 AM

21

Capt Jack 08-21-2008 12:08 PM

4 :blush:

Strangler Lewis 08-21-2008 12:30 PM

14 so far. I could have sworn "Alien" had a big bright "F" in it.

lashbear 08-21-2008 07:36 PM

Alf-ien?
