Anyone Want to Play 20 Questions of "Guess Which DVD I Just Bought"?

[Crankie Avalon]

I went to the DVD store for lunch and came back to work with three DVDs.

One is a documentary that you'll never get, but the other two are well-known movies, not recent (they came out a year apart, coincidentally, but I won't mention the years of release just yet), one a comedy, the other a drama (though a lot of people would probably consider it a comedy, as well--I sure do! HAH!)

Questions with yes or no answers, please, if you'd like to play. :hi:

[redqueen]

1. Was Ben Affleck in either of them?

[Crankie Avalon]

2. No.

:)

Editr to add: Whoops, need to keep count--that's #1.

[BearFlagDemocrat]

3. Koyaanisqatsi? n/t

[Crankie Avalon]

6. No.

That's 2.

Not foreign films, to save questions.

[expatriot]

4. Was the movie released in 2004 or 2005? (on edit: D'OH - I lose!)

I didn't see the "not recent" part. I suck at this game.

[Crankie Avalon]

7. No.

That's 3.

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. Were they less than $10 each?

[Crankie Avalon]

9. No.

That's four.

They were both under $20 each, if that helps.

[redqueen]

8. Did either of them win an Academy Award?

[Crankie Avalon]

11. No.

That's five.

[merh]

10. Are either animated features?

:shrug:

[Crankie Avalon]

13. No.

That's six.

I'll give a clue once someone gets a yes answer.

[CottonBear]

12. Do the films have subtitles?

[Crankie Avalon]

14. No.

That's seven.

Psst...short titles.

[redqueen]

15. Was either one acclaimed for its soundtrack?

[Crankie Avalon]

16. Not really...

though the comedy did have a pretty big hit/earworm-type song in it. The song was a big hit apart from the movie.

That's 8.

[CanuckAmok]

17. is the documentary directed by Barbara Kopple?

[Crankie Avalon]

21. No.

I really don't think you'll get the documentary.

The DVD was released just two days ago, if you want to keep trying to get it, though.

[CottonBear]

18. Do either have animals in the starring role?

[Crankie Avalon]

24. You could say that.

The animal has A starring role, though not the central character.

[redqueen]

19. Was either one in black & white?

[Crankie Avalon]

26. No, but...

...one uses occasional black and white footage of when the star character was younger.

[ralps]

20. were they created in the last 10 years?

:hi:

[Crankie Avalon]

27. No.

:hi:

[stopbush]

22. One is "Eurotrip," right?

[Crankie Avalon]

28. No.

[CanuckAmok]

23. Do any of them have the word "Sodomania" in the title?

[Crankie Avalon]

29. No, but that word reminds me of the documentary...

:evilgrin:

[Bullwinkle925]

25. Either of them have a 'political' theme?

[Crankie Avalon]

32. Not at all...

...though the comedy is about class snobbery.

[Rainbowreflect]

30. Does the comedy have two people's names in the title?

[Crankie Avalon]

33. No.

One of them has a nickname/term of affection in it, though.

[ralps]

31. were they created between 1980 and 1990?

[Crankie Avalon]

34. Yes.

Much closer to one end of that spectrum than the other.

[Crankie Avalon]

35. CLUE: All the starring roles in the comedy are males...

...the starring roles in the drama, females.

P.S., since there are two movies, we can make this 40 rather than 20 questions. We're up to seventeen. O8)

[Bullwinkle925]

36. Anything to do with Mobs, Mobsters?

[Crankie Avalon]

37. Not really, though at the very end of one...

...one of the characters gets two associates to help another character find his checkbook.

(Did I just give it away?)

[ralps]

38. Are the actors/actresses american?

[Crankie Avalon]

39. Yes, all of them.

In the comedy, two of the actors has since passed away, one just a year or so ago.

In the drama, one of the actresses is now a judge on a reality/contest show, if remember reading the article in Salon correctly.

[Crankie Avalon]

40. OKAY, BIG CLUE: One is a "biopic," the other has something to do...

...with a leisure time activity of the well-heeled.

[Crankie Avalon]

41. ANOTHER CLUE: While this film didn't win an Academy Award itself...

...one of the characters portrayed in it did. Which I guess is a second clue--it's a drama about a real person/people.

[ralps]

42. Is one of them "Amadeus" or "The Last Emperor"

[Crankie Avalon]

43. No, but check out the clues I just posted.

[Crankie Avalon]

44. OTHER BIG CLUE: In the drama, one of the main characters is adopted...

...by the other.

In the comedy, the characters spend a lot of time walking on grass (and occasionally smoking some, too).

[ralps]

45. Is it "Reds"?

[Crankie Avalon]

46. No, but the star of the drama co-starred with Warren Beatty in another...

...film when she was young and very beautiful.

[Crankie Avalon]

47. OK, clues after every question from now on...

...I have to leave at 3:30PM EST, so probably lots of clues apart from the questions, too. :-)

[Crankie Avalon]

48. CLUE: For the drama, think "a look at Old Hollywood"...

...for the comedy, think a sport that people wear slacks to play.

[ohiosmith]

52. The comedy is Caddy Shack

[Crankie Avalon]

53. DING DING DING DING!!!!

YESSSSS!!! You've won...the satisfaction of knowing the answer. :party: :toast: :party:

[Crankie Avalon]

49. CLUE: Both from early, early 80s.

The comedy had two of the old Guard from Saturday Night Live starring in it, the drama was very "camp classic"-ish.

Anyone still playing? :hide:

[ralps]

50. I am, I'm just trying to think of what questions to ask

:shrug: :hi: :hug:

[Crankie Avalon]

51. HAH! Then you get a clue...

...title of the comedy is one word, title of the drama is two.

Yeehaw, I made me a rhyme!

If that doesn't help, one of the movies stresses the importance of how to properly hang up one's clothes.

[ohiosmith]

54. Mommy Dearest

NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!

[Crankie Avalon]

55. DING DING DING DING DING!!!!
