Hi,
these are made-up taglines for movies (the year, in which they were
released is given). I hope it isn't too difficult.
Name the Title (1 point) *and* the director (1 point)
for the movie in question. The movies have one thing in common,
which will give a bonus point.
1. (1922) Renamed, but still scary and thirsty at night.
2. (1935) Clark Gable was there first, Marlon Brando followed later.
3. (1942) Classic tale of what happens to an old man, married to
a young woman, her lover and the ultimate crime.
4. (1948) We're looking for a vehicle to commute.
5. (1957) Death is almost stalemate, but finally wins against knight and jester.
6. (1960) Mother will always be the first woman in his life!
7. (1979) Just one part of the city of cities.
8. (1984) As weird as hell, and even...?
9. (1993) They were saved by a piece of paper with their names on it!
10.(2009) An estate in Germany at the start of the first world war, a count,
a priest, strange children and mysterious crimes, all
foreboding the second world war.
11. What do these movies have in common?

Maybe this was too ambitious - if I ever set up another one, I promise
something more straightforward. Wrong guesses included "Dracula" (right
track!), "Casablanca" and "African Queen" instead of "Bicycle Thieves"
(I like this guess actually). As for the common theme, nobody guessed
it, so I awarded Marc half a point for another thing all these
movies have in common. Thanks for trying just as well, here are
the scores:

Please don't. These are (almost?) all iconic films, and I for am happy to
learn about such worthy topics even if it means a lousy score.
