Without mentioning the name of it, describe some of your favorite movies and the rest of us will have to guess the title. Better yet, throw in a twist, but keep it accurate, to make it more challenging.

I'll provide an example: A man is about to commit suicide after his uncle hands a large sum of money to their worst enemy. However, he changes his mind when he sees a dead man in the river. Believing that the dead man is still alive, the protagonist decides to rescue him.

Answer:

It's a Wonderful Life

The following are four more movies. Try to guess what movie they are.

  • Police are after the daughter of a woman who, fraudulently, ran up huge credit card charges.
  • A mafia boss is holding a hostage in exchange for an antique record player. The sheriff seeks the help of a sheepherder, animal control officer, and a motorcycle stuntman to mount a rescue.
  • A woman uses kids as tools of revenge after her parents are murdered.
  • A man goes sailing after his dad, who had left his family, pays a surprise visit.

Those are all too tough for me.

Here's more my style of movie. A quote should give it away:

"Guess you broke into the wrong $%*^& rec room, didn't ya!"

Nothing. This is just for fun. We've had posts here for years that were just for fun, right?

We could return to a silent forum with next to zero posts, if that would be better.

This is the "Around the Campfire" subforum after all. "A place for Chit Chat about life or subjects of interest other than Survival or Emergency Preparedness."

Well I heartily agree that I wish the traffic on this very fine forum was heavier, but idle chatter just for the sake of traffic volume goes nowhere.

How about w debate on the best survival themed movie of all time? or maybe the worst survival movie of all time (lots of contenders) or the worst survival stereotypes perpetuated by the cinema?

Well, it's not my sort of game. I feel no obligation to play, and neither should anyone else. But really, it does no harm.

I think we all agree that maintaining a positive psychological state is a crucial element in survival. We are all in a long-drawn-out survival situation with no discernable end point. It's reasonable to argue that silly fluff and idle chatter have a place in creating community and supporting a positive mindset. My 2c.

A big guy with anger issues meets a homeless girl who has trouble focusing, is a little "scattered" and does not remember anything about her past. She dreams of being a racer and demonstrates that she has a knack for it when the big guy helps to get her hands on a go-kart.

An event unblocks her memory and she realizes that she is a person of privilege.
