Really simple:

- I start with a question.

- You try to answer it.

- The first one who get's it right get's to post a new question. (If this person refuses than someone who's quick enough is up.)

- Etc..

 

Rules:

- Don't ask a question you don't know the answer to.

- You may use the internet to find the solution.

- If the answer is too hard to find (if the answer hasn't come up in days), you may give a hint.

- Moderation will be on, so don't go overboard people.

 

Note:

- If you like you can keep scores, and then I'll post them here.

Who was the director of the first film that carried the title "Europa"?

[Niederoestereich]

Agnieszka Holland?

[Orioni]

Agnieszka Holland?

Nope, she directed "Europa Europa". I mean something else.

[Vannic]

Roberto Rossellini

 

Edit: Oh no... I take this back... that was Europa 51.

 

New answer: Lars Von Trier

[Phil VII]

well, i can find Lars von Trier who directed a film called europa in 1991, but you said the first film, so i would guess it was someone before that

 

EDIT: damn you Vannic

[Orioni]

Roberto Rossellini

New answer: Lars Von Trier

Good! Now it's your turn Vannic.

What's the name of the first commercial film, which was a remake of his college student movie, made by the story-writer of the motion picture, in which the lead character says the following line

"I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up."

[Meteorola]

I think you are asking for the character: Indiana Jones

[Vannic]

I'll rephrase the question as to make it a little more clear... I guess I made it a little bit too complicated...

 

Firstly you'll need to find the story-writer of the movie in which the main character says the quote above.

Then, the answer I'm actually looking for, is the title of the first commercial film made by the story-writer in the question above. This film I'm looking for was a remake of his college student movie.

[Orioni]

I'm thinking George Lucas. For the title, I have some doubt. Either "The Emperor" or "THX 1138:4EB"..

[Vannic]

THX 1138:4EB was the college student version. The commercial version was THX 1138, but I'll consider it correct

 

Your turn again
