Telewest Film Titles quiz (cont)

[aquilotta]

I'm stuck on # 1, 8, 12, 14, & 20 at the moment! I thought Ace Ventura Pet Detective might be #20, but Telewest and Filmflex (from which Telewest apparently gets its films) don't list it among their offerings, so it's not that...

Likewise, for #8, Filmflex doesn't stock "The Cricketer" so it can't be that. Please don't tell me it's Batman!?!?!?!?

No 1 Space Jam

No 8 Batman

No 20 Spy Kids ????

Hi Jessiedog! I wondered about Spykids too - but what's the relevance of the Gnu? I also considered Inspector Gadget, Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, but none of them really make sense of the picture... I also wondered about Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - but it's not in FilmFlex's list of available films, so it can't be that one... *sigh*...

Space Jam I worked out about 3 minutes after posting the previous cry for help - and Batman, as you saw above, was dawning on me as I wrote. But the two which are still stumping me are 14 and 20... (rolls eyes) I bet we'll kick ourselves when we finally find them, in the manner of the best groan-inducing puns!!

I'll sjow you my list if you show me yours

Space Jam - Roman Holiday - Silence of the Lambs - Cocktail - I Married an Axe Murderer - Karate Kid (hence 20 being a kid not a gnu) - Star Wars - Batman - Grumpy Old Men - War of the Worlds - Blazing Saddles - 12 ?? - Pelican Brief - 14 ?? - Star Trek - 16 ?? - 17 ?? - Harry Potter - Horse Whisperer - Spy Kids (only one though where it should be plural) ??

This is driving me nuts as well

12 is Street Fighter. 16 Drugstore Cowboy. 17. Easy peasy! what sort of bear is it? And what's he holding in his hand? Yes, a coffee, but what sort? Go on.... No, not a capuccino... An e_______! So put the two together and....? Yes. It really is that ouchy!

Still hunting for 14. And still unconvinced about 20...!

Thanks aquilotta - 17 really bad pun, easy when you know how!

If I have flash of inspiration I shall let you know.

Incidentally, how do you get to see what telewest films are? I would like to see the list but cannot ever get it.

Hi Jessiedog! Yes, and I suspect that #14 & #20 are equally ouch-puns... if we could only figure them out...

Re., Telewest's films: I searched Telewest's site, and found that their suppliers for all their films are Filmflex; www.filmflexmovies.com : hence I've been checking my guesses against their list of available titles... :-)
