Never played before? Here's some praise for the game:
"woohoo!" - Venusian
"This is the most stirring display of gallantry and sportsmanship since Mountbatten gave India back to the Punjabs." - wishbone
"These have been really fun." - Tracer Bullet
"Bus, I know it has been said before, but you really do a great job with these threads." - orangecrush18
<ul>Rules<br>
<li> The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font>) or least common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font>), but still correct.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font> question: "Name a movie starring Sacha Baron Cohen." A good answer would be Borat and a bad answer might be Spyz.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> question: "Name a movie with killer robots on Earth". Transformers might be a bad answer, but The Stepford Wives might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
<li> Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins.
<li> The answers to each question are tallied up. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer. This penalty is multiplied by the Lightning Round Multiplier. Wrong answers in Sheep are not penalized.
<li> Certain rounds are considered Lightning Rounds (designated by a multiplier, such as <b>×2</b>). In these rounds, scores are adjusted by the <u>number on the multiplier</u>. A wrong answer still gets a +4 penalty in a x2 round and a +6 penalty in a x3 round. In a sheep round, a wrong answer scores normally.
<li> You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, IMDB, etc. Use only what's in your head.
<li> Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Those who do not do this will be penalized 7 points right off the bat.
<li> For your convenience, <a href="http://www.fantasticdamage.com/blog/MoviesR1.xls">I've made an Excel file</a> where you can prepare your answers. When finished, just select the column of answers and send that in as text via PM. Don't email me the Excel file, that would be silly. (<a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=r6XdV4Q49GOYN8Z5XJEqmiA">Google version here</a>).
<li> Note: Unless specifically mentioned in the question, all "film" answers have to be theatrically released films, not straight-to-DVD releases, TV films, promotional films, TV episodes, etc. Foreign films are always OK as long as they fit the question.
<li> Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font>, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font>.
<li> You have until at least Tuesday, June 23, at 9:00AM EDT to send in answers. The game will begin sometime that week.

I filled out my answers and sent them before seeing that 27 was sheep instead of reverse sheep, but seeing as how I could only remember one disaster film and it's very well known, I think that'll work out just fine. Nice job on putting yet another of these together Bus. That x5 on the last question could be a real killer.

If 10 people come up with the super-obscure answer, then it's probably not very obscure... or at least not superlatively.

That one was brutal all around, but with only so many options to choose from it was bound to be. At least I'm not the only one to Nestea plunge after that question.
Just added ranked numbers. Should make it easier to see how you're doing from here on out. I wish there was a way to easily add a red or green arrow in front of each name to see if you've improved your ranking.
That's because they are all over in the Comic Book Sheep thread.
:sad: OK, not really. I'm delaying Comic Book Sheep results until Movie Sheep results are over. Sure, I stayed up late last night compiling and tabulating just so I'd be ready to put up the results. But does anyone care? Noooooooo. :sad:

This is getting brutal. Sheep questions are usually my strong suit.
I couldn't remember the name of The French Connection. I've seen it; I knew it was the answer I wanted to give, but I am an ardent non-cheater. Where is the :bananasad: smilie?
orangecrush18, you're doing much better than JasonF!With the number of players large swings won't be uncommon, so I don't expect this to continue for too much longer. I am begining to think I am only above average at these games in the context of video games.

Big is a comedy and there is a plot line that involves romance. And I chose it.

Let's go through the ones that are clearly correct answers while we're at it.
French Kiss (4): The Bus, wazootyman
I.Q. (8): Michael Corvin, Zen Peckinpah, Fist of Doom, Rockmjd23
Kate & Leopold (4): Hokeyboy, Lokimok
Prelude to a Kiss: hasslein
Sleepless in Seattle (4): Mordred, Thor Simpson
The Terminal (4): BlueCC, feenst
Actually, I'm not that sure about the last one, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Big - no, the romantic part is a subplot
Toy Story - no, unless in a gay way
Volunteers - been way too long to have an opinion
City of Angels - not a romantic comedy

I'd definitely list Big in rom-com zone. Sure, it might be argued to have elements of fantasy, but there is romance, there is comedy, and IMDb genres back this up (as well as "bare chested male" and "Unplugged Electronic Works")
