The tallmanian Movie Challenge: Round 2 Answers
by tallman
The winner of round 2 is... Samael, with a whopping 7.5 correct answers. Nipping at his heels was Bouchie with a solid 7 correct answers...
Still not a ton of entries this month, but a much better turnout than last month. Apparently offering DVDs as a prize is more motivating than 4k cash! In any case, the contest will continue on. So here are the answers to round 2:

Screenshot 1: The Lost Boys
A pretty easy shot, judging by the fact that most of you got this one. It's a pretty iconic image from the movie, so this was pretty much to be expected...
Screenshot 2: Ocean's Eleven
I have to admit that I was surprised at how many people picked one of the sequels to this film instead of this one. Granted, I suppose that this screenshot doesn't exactly scream which movie it is, but still. I gave half a point for those who guessed 12 or 13.
Screenshot 3: Casino Royale
Again, I was surprised at the number of people who answered Quantum of Solace isntead of this movie. For crying out loud, there are Casino chips in the screenshot!
Screenshot 4: The Princess Bride
Another easy one that most of you got. Inconceivable!
Screenshot 5: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Everyone who entered got this one right. Go 4k.
Screenshot 6: Phantasm
In some ways, I'm surprised that no one got this one. After all, that guy in the background there is known as the Tall Man and is the source of my 4k handle. I've mentioned the movie a fair amount of times, so I was thinking at least someone would recognize this. One person did respond with Phantasm 3, so I gave half a point for that one (again with the answers being a sequel when I'm using the first film)...
Screenshot 7: The Wicker Man
Now this was a surprise! Almost everyone got this right... I had no idea this movie was so widely seen. Or perhaps my screenshot was just a little more evocative (i.e. there's a damn wicker man in the screenshot).
Screenshot 8: The Wild Bunch
And finally, I've stumped 4k. No one got even close with this one. A couple of guesses for random Westerns, but again nothing close.
Screenshot 9: Ghost in the Shell
Only a couple of people got this right, one of whom guessed because they read my blog (something that may help with these quizzes - indeed, I even repurposed the Wild Bunch screenshot from my blog a while back).
Screenshot 10: The Terminator
I don't know what is going on here, but there were two people who seemed to think that was Kurt Russel in the screenshot (one person specifically called him out, another used Big Trouble in Little China as their answer, which I assume means they think the guy in screenshot is Kurt Russel). Otherwise, a bunch of people got this one. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.
That wraps up the first installment. Good luck with the next one!
