Charades!

"Roswell" ( I always thought it had two s'ssss's'ssss it is hard to stop spelling the plural of s

) seems a good guess to me too but we have to wait on Alatar!

How many do we have unguessed now? ( Wampus - I looked at yours for so long and didn't get it

)

But neither Roswell or X-files is exactly the subject matter of the shows ... maybe "Invasion" would qualify there if it's about an alien invasion.

Tosh got it: 4 Weddings and a Funeral.

I thought Alatar's first one (

) was Lost, but I see now that he meant the second one was the TV show.

In that case, I vote for Invasion. It was

one of my favorite shows until it was recently cancelled.

Of course the second one could also be a book and movie: Kidnapped!

Alatar's isn't Who Am I?

Anyone getting mine?

A movie, six words.

Clue time.

First one is a movie with Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley.

Second one was presented by Steven Spielberg. And it's really, really obvious. (And it's not Invasion, X-Files or Roswell)

Ah! The joys of IMDB!

I didn't know the film so I feel I was cheating but Alatar's first is 'Without a Clue', a Sherlock Holmes story.

Still don't know the TV series though.

Having solved two I feel I can get away with another.
Film, two words:

Oooh, I hope its "Topsy Turvy" the story of Gilbert and Sullivan!

Very good indeed! But not the right answer

Er just to prevent misleading you, not even close.

Post by **Lidless** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:28 pm

Alatar's TV series is 'Taken'.

Now will someone have a crack at mine *whimper*

Tosh's, at a stretch, is The Omen.

Post by **ToshoftheWuffingas** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:36 pm

No, not The Omen, Liddy.

There, there, dry your tears. I did try but it was awfully hard for a bear of little brain. Give us a tiny clue but not an IMDBle one.

Post by **Alatar** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:42 pm

Taken is the correct answer! Well done Lidless!

Ok Liddy, I know its a TV series, not a Movie, but the closest I can guess is:

The Last of the Summer Wine. (I know, it's a stretch)

Joins Tosh in asking for a clue

Now I don't feel so bad about not getting Alatar's two, since I've never heard of them! Steven Spielberg must "present" a lot of things, just sayin'!

Lidless, you can whimper all you want, but that won't make the rest of us any smarter.

Really? Taken was one of the big "Event" productions of the last few years. That years "Lost" if you follow me...

Oh, I vaguely remember it now that I see that promotional stuff! But I don't know that I'd call it a huge event in the US, anyway ... I suppose to some it was. That's the nature of charades ... my Twelve Angry Men was easy, if you've heard of it! But Lost is on a major network and I watch it, or did before I fell behind, and Taken was on cable, and I didn't watch Taken so it just slipped out of my consciousness! I'll have to catch up on Lost when season two comes out on DVD.

OK, it's a Hollywood movie set in China, and was nominated for Best Pic, but didn't win.

Aaahhh!
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness

Post by **Griffon64** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 5:50 pm

*puzzles over Lidless one*

Hollywood, eh? All the candidates I'm thinking of is not six words!

EDIT: Hah! Tosh has it I think! Good one, Lidless!

Post by **Lidless** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 5:55 pm

Correctamundo!!

Is mine the last one then?

To recap. A film, two words, 3 syllables then 2 syllables
