Movie 20 Questions
I've been thinking about starting this game for awhile, but I wanted to get the rules of the game exactly right in my head before I posted. It's like the classic 20 questions game, but with some very specific rules: The original poster will open with two clues like "I'm thinking of a comedy movie made in the 1970's" or "I'm thinking of a movie remake starring an Oscar winning actor." A person will ask a question about the movie. If the answer is yes, ONLY that poster gets to ask the next question. If the answer is no, the original poster will say, "No...19 questions." If someone guesses the movie in less than 20 questions, then they get to start a new game. If no one guesses the movie within 20 questions, the original poster will reveal the answer and ONLY the original poster will be allowed to post a new game. Everybody got it? OK, I'm going to kick things off here:

20 Questions - Movie Game
I had an idea for a movie game based on the old 20 Questions Game. So it works like this: I'll pick a well known movie and everyone tries to guess it by asking Yes or No type questions. Collectively 20 questions can be asked, either by everyone.... or just one person. If you can guess the movie from the clues then you win! I'll choose the movies for the first few rounds so I can tweak the rules if necessary. Basic rules are: Choose a well known film, otherwise it's too hard for others to guess. Ask any yes or no type questions, one question per post....examples:
One more rule, please be patient😊 This is a complicated game and mistakes will be made by all of us, remember it's just for fun:p |

I just took a quick look, and it looks like your version of this game stalled because someone chose a non-English movie, and most of the people who play these games seem to watch English movies. |

It was the only movie that I could think of from the 1990s that lost the Best Picture and (I think) the Best Actor Oscars, and I knew that a lot of MoFos have seen it. I'm busy with work right now, so it's OPEN FLOOR if anyone wants to take my turn, but if nobody wants to go, I'll try to post one later tonight. |
Is it a movie about the mob?

On the chance that The Departed is wrong, (although it's probably right), I'll add another question. Does the remake have the same title as the original movie? |
The movie I was thinking of was The Departed...excellent, Citizen, your turn.

Re: Movie 20 Questions
Okay, will try not to mess this up since I never expected ever to guess correctly.
First clue is this is one of my most fave movies. Ever. Which does not help, I know. Second clue is this movie garnered a number of Oscar nominations. I think that’s all I need to do right now, but let me know if I’m doing it wrong. |
