*Introductory theme tune*

Glad I do this, because it gives me an excuse to watch the show even when it's repeats. :p I'm a woman of tradition...a very sad one. (Keeps my brain more active, at least. :\)

Let's play Pointless!

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

* offtopic :
The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

ROUND #1

Our first category today is...

THE MOVIES

And the question concerns...

FILM TAGLINES

I'm going to give you fourteen taglines to famous movies. Just need you to tell me the name of the film, please. I'm also going to give you the star of the film to help you out a bit.

"WE ARE NOT ALONE" (RICHARD DREYFUSS)

"HE'S THE ONLY KID EVER TO GET INTO TROUBLE BEFORE HE WAS BORN" (MICHAEL J FOX)

"A TALE OF MURDER, LUST, GREED, REVENGE AND SEAFOOD" (JOHN CLEESE)

"EIGHT LEGS, TWO FANGS AND AN ATTITUDE" (JEFF DANIELS)

"ONE DREAM, FOUR JAMAICANS. TWENTY BELOW ZERO." (JOHN CANDY)

"YOU KNOW THE NAME, YOU KNOW THE NUMBER" (PIERCE BROSNAN)

"HE'S HAVING THE DAY OF HIS LIFE...OVER AND OVER AGAIN" (BILL MURRAY)

"EARTH. IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED" (BRUCE WILLIS)

"THE LAST MAN ON EARTH IS NOT ALONE" (WILL SMITH)

"YOU'LL BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY" (CHRISTOPHER REEVE)

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 17:08

There is one pointless answer up there; I have faith one of you will find it.

Captain_Keeta | 09-08-2014 17:10

"YOU KNOW THE NAME, YOU KNOW THE NUMBER" (PIERCE BROSNAN) - GoldenEye

kalsonberry | 09-08-2014 17:14

Hmm, I'm not so good with movies unless it's one of those dystopian ones. I'll go with:

"THE LAST MAN ON EARTH IS NOT ALONE" (WILL SMITH)
I Am Legend

Cheater138 | 09-08-2014 17:29

movieeesss! I knew more than I expected actually, so this is a tough decision.

"WE ARE NOT ALONE" (RICHARD DREYFUSS) is Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Juliet86 | 09-08-2014 17:33

"ONE DREAM, FOUR JAMAICANS. TWENTY BELOW ZERO."

'Cool Runnings'!

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 17:36

Sanka, ya dead?
Yeah, man.

Yeah, I've never paid much attention to the taglines of films, but these are not hard to work out if you know the films themselves.

Juliet86 | 09-08-2014 17:40

Yeah, I don't really recognise any of them, but I still know quite a few.

TheAnnoyance | 09-08-2014 17:47

"HE KNOWS NO FEAR, HE KNOWS NO DANGER. HE KNOWS NOTHING" (ROWAN ATKINSON) - Johnny English.

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 17:49

Trust you.

TheAnnoyance | 09-08-2014 17:51

Well I could of gone for the rom-com Hugh Grant movie, but I thought I'd get teased more.

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 18:01

Haha, aww, we wouldn't do that... *cough*

Captain_Keeta | 09-08-2014 18:05

Or would we?

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 18:51

Maybe just a little.

juicy1 | 09-08-2014 20:21

"HE'S HAVING THE DAY OF HIS LIFE...OVER AND OVER AGAIN" (BILL MURRAY)

Groundhog Day

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 20:39

Random fact for the round: Bill Murray had to have anti-rabies shots during filming because the groundhog bit him...twice.

I haven't seen that film in so long.

juicy1 | 09-08-2014 20:42

Nor have I, I just downloaded it

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 20:44

Give me a few days...got my Special Extended Edition DVD of The Fellowship of the Ring here.

I've a feeling it'll be a geek spree kind of week.

CarlJ | 09-08-2014 21:11

"EIGHT LEGS, TWO FANGS AND AN ATTITUDE" (JEFF DANIELS)
Arachnophobia!

CarlJ | 09-08-2014 21:14

pretty much all of these are great!

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 21:20

You'll have to tell us your favourite after the round is over, Carl. I wanted to be James Bond when I was little...or Joey Bond, I should say. :p

juicy1 | 09-08-2014 21:28

Bond, Joe(y) Bond

Captain_Keeta | 09-08-2014 21:28

Hahaha. You'd have a cheese gun.

MCSMeister | 09-08-2014 21:44

ONE DREAM, FOUR JAMAICANS. TWENTY BELOW ZERO." (JOHN CANDY)

Cool Runnings

Joeyy | 09-08-2014 21:47

That one's already been taken, Nicolas - my fault, sorry; I'll make a list now of the answers that are still available.
