A Good Day To Play Sheep
Here is your Movie Sheep game.
Intro for first time players
General Rules
Game-Specific Rules
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.
And another reminder: Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat.
I will also correct mistakes you may have made when originally sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points.
I will take no more than 20 participants not including myself (though will make special dispensations for anyone who has run a Sheep game in the past) not and plan on starting some time early next week (Tracer Style).
Now on to the questions.
The Questions
The winner will receive 1 movie ticket code to see a Warner Brothers movie (expires 2/12/13).

It might help to give a sample set of answers so we know what you want them to look like.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep
I don't understand the {sd} thing at all. When you first mention it, it sounds like you want us to add that to every answer. Then you say it's only for five answers. I don't get its purpose at all.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep
It adds a mulitplier to the sheep questions and turns reverse sheep questions into sheep questions. So, if you add 3 {sd} to one sheep question, that will make it with 4 times the normal points for you. You can use 5 slam dunks total. You can use as many on any question you want so long as you don't use more than 5 total.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep
I have gotten 3 submissions so far. Because of the confusion over the slam dunk I will allow Killer to resubmit his answers with the proper number of slam dunks without penalty.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep
I can delete them all, but that will pretty much guarantee that you will end up at the bottom of the rankings. Your best bet is to pick the sheep question you feel most confident about and put all 5 slam dunks on that one.

Re: A Good Day To Play Sheep
Answers submitted, but they were so terrible I couldn't figure out which ones to {sd}
(I understand the confusion since I put an {sd} on every line for orangecrush's last game until I reread the directions.)
