Guess the movie

[nanoboy]

Inspired by another thread, I thought that the movie buffs out there could have some fun. Let's post stills from movies, and guess which movies they are from.

Rules
1. If you are playing along, you agree to post pics if you win
2. The sources of all photos are to be stated

I'll get the ball rolling, so have a go at guessing which movies these pics came from. (Source: AllMoviePhoto.com: Photos of current movies)

Hint: they are all movies from 2011.

1 - We Bought a Zoo
2 - The Adventures of Tin Tin
3 - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
4 - Rise of the Planet of the Apes
5 - Cowboys & Aliens

good idea, nanoboy

Well, I had to make them easy for the first round. Well done - all are correct.

We eagerly await your pics.

PS* how were you able to guess them all? You saw them? Google?

Well, it was pretty easy, and when you said they were all 2011... I only saw We Bought a Zoo, but the dog was obviously Tin Tin, the Ape was obviously Planet of the apes.. Tom Cruise - yeah, I had to google the exact name of this Mission Impossible movie and the only "western" like movie of 2011 I could think of was the Cowboys and Aliens..


Can I post TV shows instead of movies?

 

[Stefka]

...I take that as a yes...

OK guys, 5 TV shows. All of them well known and should be easy to guess, even if you don´t watch them.

Yes, you´re right.

OK, I´ll give you some hints for the rest of them.

1. - Was canceled after one season years ago, but still has a huge fan-base all around the world. Canceling this show is often regarded as one of the biggest mistakes of Fox TV. (One of the fans is also Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D. )

3. and 5. These two have something in common - both have more than one season, their main characters do something illegal, and both are renewed for another season..

I thought it had two seasons, but I checked and yes only one. It was a fantastic show, and the movie was just as good. It makes us (sci-fans with taste ) sad that shows like this get cancelled and drek like Andromeda didn't

Chlidonias, you´re absolutely right. I´m sending you a friend request

(Why won´t you play with us and say the name?)

 

[Chlidonias]

nobody would get the movies I would post

oh.. c'mon ... we can try...

 

[Chlidonias]

in any case I wouldn't have a clue about number five. It doesn't look at all familiar and so we may not get it in NZ.

Number three looks like the sister from Dexter though?

So are you playing or not?

I did a bit of googling and number five was released in NZ. (I would be surprised if it wasn´t, it´s a very successful and original show.)

On a large forum like this, only 3 people are interested in movies and TV shows? As Achilles (Brad Pitt) said "is there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?"

Don't mind Chlidonias - he knows he can post intermediate movies for us to guess, but he has his moods. Give him a hug.

Anyway, is #1 Babylon 5? I think Sheldon hates that show though. Maybe it is Deep Space 9.

I would definitively give him a hug especially if he looks like his profile picture

Anyway, no one else seems to be playing, what are we gonna do?

I´ll give you more hints for now..

Picture 1 - Sheldon (as well as other Big Bang characters) loves this show and canceling of this show was mentioned in Big Bang Theory several times.
E.g. Once, Sheldon was feeling betrayed by Leonard and created a "game" - he was naming the biggest traitors in history.

Sheldon - "Round 2: Leonard Hofstadter, Darth Vader, Rupert Murdoch".
Leonard - "Rupert Murdoch?"
Sheldon - "He owns Fox and they canceled -------."

However, Big Bang is not the only TV show where similar reference was used. Troy and Abed from Community loves this show as well and there is a reason why fans of this show watch the crimi series Castle...


Number 3 - Chlidonias was right..

No more hints for picture number 5. I still hope that more ZooChatters will join us and somebody recognize will it soon...

I'm surprised nanoboy doesn't know Firefly/Serenity. Maybe it was overlooked in Australia?
