    I just saw this in another part of the forum and thought some people in here would find it fun! Name the film A-Z by the picture. I can guess about 13 of them but I won't list them in the OP. Anyone else might as well, it'll be their own risk scrolling down.

    I couldn't resist! I wouldn't have thought of Y, and I call a slight case of shenanigans on N: it was the first film I thought of when I saw the picture, but all I'll say was I didn't think of the whole title.

    I was thinking Zulu was from the sixties!

    I had a look at I and V: I've heard of them but I don't think I would've thought of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    the V title is pretty obscure it must be said! At least the I title has notoriety on its side.

    You're right about
    I was thinking Zulu was from the sixties!
    It must be
    Zulu Dawn

    The "I" film is different from the others in that I'm not sure it got much of a general release. It's more famous as been one of the 1980's Video Nasties.

    Okay on to the 80s

    I would think Z =
    Zulu dawn
    which was made in the 70s,
    Zulu
    was made in the 60s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,051 ✭✭✭trellheim


    Z is indeed misleading !

    easy!
    Xanadu
    :) (oh sorry you meant X in the 70s!)

    X in the 70s looks like
    X, Y & Zee, that looks like Liz Taylor to me

    great quiz. i thought i would've been more elusive than it was... :) i probably got about half of them.

    ps... i is still banned in the uk and obviously here along with it's two sequels (they're still more entertaining than saw and it's ilk though). :rolleyes:

    M =
    Mannequin

    Also I think one is wrong as
    R = First Blood. He only wore the vest in that one as far as I remember. Now that's nit picking.

    Couldn't get Q, V or Y at all.

    Moot point. The thing is
    The first one is only titled First Blood with no Rambo at all. The next two, both in the 80's start with Rambo
