The One Already Guessed By Others

Just gonna say this hint's got a lot in it, and that I will be deeply impressed if any of you gets one of the clues buried in this one, even though there's probably enough there to get the right answer without it. It's kind of a bonus.

I certainly hope eight more of mine show up but I wouldn't count on it.

I'm getting 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes from that middle verse.

The Wizard of Oz and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King?


I initially thought of that too, thought none of the rest of the lines fit with Kubrick and the HAL-9000's unblinking "eye". But the red eye of Sauron....perhaps.

Man, we're very far from the hints for the first 2 or 3 films

Twelve Angry Men and Wizard of Oz?

The Wizard of Oz seems almost too obvious here, but I will go with it for my first film.

The other one seems to be 12 Angry Men. Red eyes for anger and hiding unseen could be the jury being sequestered.

Great minds...

I put off It's a Wonderful Life forever. I remember seeing a bit of it in Gremlins and I wanted nothing to do with a movie where someone wishes a Merry Christmas to the Savings and Loans buidling. My preferred Christmas movies talked about dead Santa stuck in a chimney. But then I realized It's a Wonderful Life had Jimmy Stewart threatening childhood piano recitals and I was in. Now I always check to see if I've still got Zuzu's petals in my pocket every Christmas. Since I never do, my belief I never really existed can happily continue for another year.


Aliens? It's fun. Violence, muscles and space teeth. Shame about the Paul Reiser. The majesty of the original would never put up with such Mad About You affiliations. It having not yet materialized in 90's sitcom purgatory is hardly any excuse. If James Cameron is so ****ing smart, he should have seen it coming.

Going Godfather Part 2 for one of them.

Wizard of Oz and LOTR 3.

Totally!

The hearing thing was too awkward to not be intentional in my opinion so it had to be a court film. I figured this was more likely than Anatomy of a Murder, especially since it's in Yoda's top 10 Guessing you had a similar train of thought.

I will admit that it at least crossed my mind that 12 Angry Men is one of Yoda's favorite films.

That said, both these guesses see far too obvious to be right, and instead seem like red herrings Yoda tossed out to trick us.

Unless his banter about a super tough section of the clue is actually the red herring, trying to throw people off the track re: his intentionally obvious hints he assumes we will discard as being too obvious.

I just realized I am doing exactly what he wants me to do.

Con sarnit! Jedi mind tricked again...
