5 Films

Waiting at the airport with existential dread levels of boredom. Walking in the countryside with your family who love games.

This is a game not to kill time, but to fill it.



Can you name five films with . . . ?

The following is a test of film knowledge. Well, if we’re being honest, it’s more like a test of film title knowledge, but, occasionally, some questions will scratch deeper, into actual content.

For each question we smugly ask, we will provide our own list of answers but we will allow you, the noble players, to govern the game in your groups. We’re all about democracy. You are welcome to consult the vengeful gods of IMDB if necessary.

(We could try to include every single conceivable answer to a question but the lists would go on for miles and would be out of date pretty soon, probably by next week when Netflix release another fifty-seven originals.)

This is for the film buffs, the born quizzers, the pedants, the overly curious, and the obdurate everywhere.

Get ready. The annoying future is imminent.



Before we go any further, some general rules. Films must be feature length works of fiction: no shorts, documentaries, TV series, stand up specials etc. Non-English language films are acceptable.

Importantly, with every question, a variable cannot be repeated. For example, if you state a film with the colour blue in the title for question four, you cannot use the colour blue again for another title. Same with sequels. Capiche?

That’s about it really, apart from the most important rule – always try your best and give 100% and smile and be yourself.

We’ll give you the questions (and our answers), the rest is up to you. The only rules: films must be feature length works of fiction, and you can’t repeat the same variables - the same colour, the same city, etc.
