Fancy an Alphabetical Game?

Can you name a film made in a country? 1 point if you've visited the country and 1 point if you've seen the film. Just one go at a time. I'll start off.

Australia 0 - Charlie's Country 1 ❤

Bermuda 1 - The Triangle 1

This will be fun. Good one Oh Mighty Leader! Question? Can someone else use the same film if it was set in more than one country?

>3 Carol420: Oh no, no, no, no, no. Perish the thought! I envy you your trip to Bermuda.

>4 .cris: Our son had a friend that was stationed in Bermuda with the Navy. I envied him because he got to stay.

Denmark 0 - Beowulf 1

Egypt 1 - Sphinx 1

France 1 - Intouchable 1 ❤

I don't believe there is an "X" country.

Okay...I can do this. First I get O...which I did with flying colors I thought:) Now I find X looking me in the eye...so I am going to cheat just a little bit...I have earned that right:) There are no countries that start with X. However, there are some territories and cities around the world that do. Just be warned that along with O... Q, & Y only have one each.

Last round. rm=13 (although she did flaunt the rules on two occasions) .cris=11. Carol=4 (although she was probably tucked up in bed most of the time. ScoLgo=3 (I will allow his infraction of the rules just because I was so pleased to hear from him again!)

Afghanistan 0 - The Kite Runner 1 ❤

Belgium 0 War Horse - 1

Czech Republic 0 - Casino Royale (2006) 1

I used the word "creatures" because I wasn't sure whether fish, fowl and insects were considered animals. Let's see how far you get with your way. I'm gonna carry on the easy way except for....

I'm out for the day so I'll set up the next challenge and expect you to play nicely together.
Slightly different today, so the googling will be essential. Name a film that is about a particular sport. The sport should be in alphabetical order. Try and pick a film you've seen. I'll kick off, which is a shame because there are loads of Boxing films!

The Blind Side (2009) - American Football 0

Since cris "elected" me scorekeeper...I don't remember voting...but here are the results of "Creature Feature".
cris- 7 points
Rhinemaiden - 1 point
Carol - 1 point
ScoLgo - 2 points
aussieh - 3 points

So cris is the winner. (We have to let her win or she'll cry)
On with the game!

>137 rhinemaiden: I've been going by what @.cris posted... "Slightly different today, so the googling will be essential. Name a film that is about a particular sport. The sport should be in alphabetical order."

Table Tennis - Balls of Fury (2007) - 1

EtA: Whoops, too late... score me a 0 for 'T'

>149 ScoLgo:. Looks like I owe you an apology ....In Quidditch in the real world (officially Muggles Quidditch) in played by both males and females, seven people on each team. There are three circular goals (often circular tubes on top of PVC pipes) placed on either end of the pitch. All players are required to carry a broom between their legs at all times. Volleyballs are used as the quaffle and dodgeballs as the bludgers. The Snitch is simply a tennis ball contained in a sock tucked in the waistband of the snitch runner.

The objective of the game is to score more points than the opposing team by the time the snitch is caught. To score some points, the keepers or the chasers must secure the quaffle, into one of the opposing team’s hoops. The teams can use bludgers to take out a player from the opposing team. Once a player is hit, the player must return any ball being held, touch the hoops, and go on and play. A match usually lasts around 30 to 40 minutes.

>167 ScoLgo: That's the one I had.

>168 .cris: That should probably be your score then since you had it ready before I posted.

It's strange... I'm not really a sports guy so I can't begin to explain why I have seen so many of the films mentioned in this thread.

>169 ScoLgo: I loathe sports, but love boxing films (except Raging Bull).

Here are the results for the "You're A Good "Sport" Challenge.
cris - 4
Carol - 2
Rhinemaiden -6
ScoLgo -6

So we have tie between Rhinemaiden and ScoLgo. Should we award the winner's cup to both of them or let them slug it out. Is "Slugging" a sport???

I'm willing to share... actually anyone who comes up with Quidditch for Q deserves to win! Way to go ScoLgo...
