7. HP Lovecraft?

Yes! :applaud:

Thanks, that's the best I'll probably do on this. :lol:

Worst. Quiz. Ever. :cry2:

It's a very good quiz, but sadly I'm shit at films. :(

Is 49 "supernatural horror", or something like that?

And I'm crap at American cars - I think Christine (#6) might be a Plymouth though.

:unsure:

Christine I think was a Plymouth Fury?

I'll give you two points for Plymouth. :applaud:
Another two points for anyone who can get the model...

Not supernatural horror. There was a whole slew of these films in the wake of Halloween, mainly because they're cheap to make...

Yes! 2 points. :applaud:

Beautiful car.

:applaud: 2pts for TW, may I not finish last :lol: thought it was that or the Belvedere.

Afraid it will be the only part I can do, I'm not up on JC films. :(

31 Fort Apache

Not Fort Apache... though I haven't seen that film and it's much older than the film Assault On Precinct 13 is supposedly based on. :unsure:

Fort Apache and this other film do share a star, though... :whistle:

Slasher films.

On hindsight, Halloween wasn't really "supernatural" was it? :D

10. john Ford

11. They Live!

13 is escape from new york
21 is ghosts of mars

good quiz bk, i can't get hardly any of these. I'm stuck on 8 at the moment.

32. Isaac Hayes

27 I suppose would be Village of the Damned? So is 40!
38 is the fog isn't it?

Would be better if the Quizmeister would REPLY TO THE ANSWERS!!! :devil2: :D

33. Alien

12 is the thing

21. Ghosts of Mars

14. Halloween II

unlucky i got that one already :D

:ohdear:

I thought I'd got in early but it looks like the quizmaster's buggered off!

1. Kashmir?

2. The original The Thing

24 & 36. They Live!

The thing was in the impression of ... J TEMPERANCE!

Somehow I think that was not the answer you were thinking of, cos the film came afterwards?

3. A gang.

Ding! :applaud:

(sorry, got sidetracked there...)

50, I'm guessing - Escape from New York, Escape from LA, Ghosts of Mars

Shoddy! :(

I knew 40. :)
Sadly that's the only one I knew.
Is 30 something unlistenable by the Grateful Dead?

Not John Ford.
I was a bit worried about this one as he is influenced by several directors, but he's had many elements from this filmmaker's style in his films over the years, used some of his films as framework for his own and has been trying to make a documentary about him for decades.

11: Yes! Roddy Piper improvised that line. :lol:

Can I listen to theme from Assault on Precinct 13, pls?

Both correct! :applaud: :applaud:

Is 38 Eyes Of Laura Mars?

Yes, sorry, I meant to say that was allowed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDTKj5nXvgw

I'm just going through the answers so bear with me...

47 Do it in the daytime.

44 Tales From The Crypt.

Yes! :beer:

27 and 40 both correct.
38 isn't The Fog. This one's not as well-known as most of his films...

Yes! Excellent scene.

Duh -- Howard Hawks!

And the film Assault is based on is Rio Bravo!
