18. Speed and The Matrix?

EDIT: You sure some of these are even two movies lol?

-PB

Edited by paulbagzFC: 6/3/2015 09:08:53 AM

Half right.

Yep I had a real good lol at some of them.

Well #21 alone could just be Jumanji as it is.

Same with #16 basically being iRobot, #24 being Minority Report.

-PB

When you see what the other ones are you'll pick it up.

When I looked at the example question I straight away got saw and then when I saw that home alone was the other one it made sense.

But everything you named you've gotten right you just need the other one (in fact for 24 you got the harder of the two)

EDIT: In fact ill credit your half right answers and see if any one else can pick up the others

#8 is Italian Job and as australianantibullus said, Oceans 11.

Half right

It describes the basis of both movies. A lot of these would have more than two options.

7. Empire strikes back / doubtfire?

2. Point break and fast and furious

20 demolition man judge dredd

Edited by australiantibullus: 6/3/2015 10:00:02 AM

Most correct slowly updating

15. Bourne Identity and Who am I

God knows how many 13 could be, nutty professor, hulk , anything using Jekyll and Hyde

The answer I had from where I got this was Hulk

Ok I think that's all correct answer updated now.

I didn't read other peoples responses, only the already-confirmed answered ones in the OP (before you updated just before my post).

1. Apollo 13
13. Me, Myself & Irene
14. Inception
15. Dude, where's my car + The Hangover
18. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
19. Home Alone
22. Star Wars
25. Braveheart

Edited by pv4: 6/3/2015 10:21:14 AM

Highlighted ones are yours

3. The Fifth Element

Was about to post that I was surprised that nobody had gotten that one yet

17. Is it Forrest Gump? I feel like he said he had magic shoes.

It is

4. Loooool - it has to be Aladdin

22 and 23 are killing me.

19. Tarzan

Omfg I just cheated for the second part of 22 and I feel ashamed I didn't get it!! Awesome! (will not post, will let yall figure out of stoop to my level and cheat for it).

Or.. Jurassic Park 3?

6. Is it basically every Muppet Movie?

In my cheating I stumbled across a pretty cool one:

- Two men climb a mountain to destroy a ring.

Number 9 has to be terminator and terminator 2. But that sounds too easy. Is it looper? I don't remember a mum named Sarah in that movie though. But the rest of the story fits.

It is 100# looper.

Loved that movie.

I've got an easy one:

Will smith saves the world from aliens with the help of an eccentric older man.

Men in Black + Independence Day

23: Olympus has Fallen and ???

23 = Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down?

Damn you :lol:

Olympus has Fallen is correct. Think complete different genre for the 2nd part

LOTR and Brokeback Mountain.

Didn't brokeback mountain destroy multiple rings?

Nobody for the 2nd half of 26 yet? Really?

Ok second half of 19 is a complete different genre to the first half like VERY different

The Bourne Identity.

I was trying to remember which Bourne movie had people looking for Matt Damon in it when I realised what the answer to 26 was :lol: I'm sure people will get it eventually, top film.

Second half of 26 is Interstellar

Ohh good!

Haven't seen Interstellar so can't comment but I was thinking of The Departed for 26.

Yep.

19. Little boy is left to his own devices as mom and dad's family vacation goes wrong. Home Alone and ? (australiantibullus)


22. A young man seems doomed to a life of farm labor, but due to a fortunate series of events and the unexpected death of his caretakers, he runs off with an eccentric old man to save a beautiful woman from the seat of a tyrant's power, where she is imprisoned and tortured. He demonstrates an uncanny aptitude for the old man's profession and trains to follow in his footsteps. In a thrilling running battle against overwhelming opposition, the hero barely escapes the enemy fortress with his life, but sadly the old man dies in a direct confrontation with the enemy's leader. The young man returns with a plan and completely obliterates the enemy fortress in a spectacular explosion, practically singlehanded. Star Wars and ? (australiantibullus)

23. Disgraced professional guard becomes sole line of defense when hostages are taken in an impenetrable fortress. After wisecracks and surprise betrayal by an ally, the hero eventually defeats evil and thus proves themselves worthy of their desired glorious job and wins admiration from a child. Olympus has Fallen and ? (jlm)


3 to go so have some clues:

19 has been parodied in a Simpson's Halloween episode
22 Is a relatively recent movie (last few years)
23 is a "comedy"











Edited by scotty21: 6/3/2015 12:58:32 PM

19. The Shining
22. I cheated, won't say. But knowing the answer, I'm so frustrated I didn't think of it! Thinking about Star Wars threw me too much :lol: but I feel like I want to give another hint and say that Jonah Hill was in it

22. Django?

Wait, was Jonah Hill in Django? Scrap that.

19 Correct

Correct

=d>

23. Disgraced professional guard becomes sole line of defense when hostages are taken in an impenetrable fortress. After wisecracks and surprise betrayal by an ally, the hero eventually defeats evil and thus proves themselves worthy of their desired glorious job and wins admiration from a child. Olympus has Fallen and ? (jlm)


One to go.

Another clue: Kevin James was in it

Paul Blart?

Yep

Seeing as though you said "comedy" and Kevin James, I'm assuming it's Mall Cop. I haven't seen it though, because it looks fxxxing terrible.

Because it is fucking terrible

I'm going to take a complete shot in the dark here because I haven't seen it, but is 23 Paul Blart: Mall Cop?

Going by calling it "comedy" and the titular character is a guard of sorts.

Edit: beaten to it, haha
