 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 3 due Sunday!
No idea how I forgot that shot in Star Wars. Completely slipped my mind.
Looking like another 5 point round.

 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 3 due Sunday!
actually, may get 6 points....#9 is a two pointer.
Surprised how instantly I got that one. Probably cause I just saw the film again about a year ago.

 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 3 due Sunday!
6 points for me at least.
Having not entirely seen Star Wars OT, I had to do an extensive research to find out #2.
#3 is driving me crazy.

Wow, I don't remember the Titanic shot from the second Ghostbusters. I haven't seen the movie in ages, though. I answered Raise the Titanic, lol. Seemed logical at the time.

Round 4 may have been the easiest round and round 5 seems to be the most difficult round yet.

 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 4 due Wednesday!
#3 in Round 3 was in the back of my mind, and I googled #6 for which Event Horizon came up but I didn't guess. I'll probably get 5 points for this round.

INDEPENDENCE DAY (Gulli, Argos, David, Johnny Dollar, i.hope)  (1 point) 06. EVENT HORIZON (Gulli, Argos, David, i.hope)  (1 point) 1. I knew I had seen it, but I could not place it. I guessed Mr. Brooks, I guessed wrong. 3. Again, I knew I had seen it, but it could have been anything from the mid 1980's to the late 1990s. Out of Terminator I or II, Revenge of the Nerds, and War Games, I went with War Games, not even close. 6. I knew I had never seen this film, but I narrowed it down to either Doom or Event Horizon, after scouring R. Lee Ermey's credits on IMDB. Is that R. Lee Ermey uncredited? After ruling everything else out, I went with Doom. Damn you wikipedia, and stating this film was set in 2047. Is this scene a flashback? More importantly would anyone recommend it? I have heard others say it was interesting and worth checking out.

I think I have the first five, and then it is straight to google and damn wikipedia. Although, I am going to wait for the last five and see if they come to me in my dreams.

 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 4 due Wednesday!
Now I remember why these games died out. Everyone cheats. Whatever happened to just look at the photos, guess and just pm. It seems like way too much effort to spend 4 days on it.

Since when is doing research cheating? Everyone that participates has the same chances to find out the movie the still is from. Of course it helps if you have seen it. The reason that these games died out was that after the first round, when people were not leading, they just stopped playing, and it was only a handful that finished all rounds. Most people don't play just out of laziness or lack of interest. I didn't mind doing the game, but I wanted to have at least 10 different players, so that at least there were different races with maybe an expert group battling it out between them and another group that had no chance of winning overall, but that also fought to be the best one of the rest. Gary Lineker said it best: Screenshot is a game for people that watch movies, use the Internet, and one host that tries to organize everything, and in the end Argos always wins.

 Re: REVENGE OF THE SCREENSHOT GAME - Round 4 due Wednesday!
I'm just sending in the ones I know, or have a reasonable guess on. No way I'm putting in so much time to search for all the screenshots.

Hardest round for me this far. I only know two for sure though 2 and 3 seem vaguely familiar to me.
