I like how Obi-Wan Jabroni tells me that in past games, it has been scored as a multiplier, then one post later ivelostr2 tells me the exact opposite. :lol:

I think I'll make it a wasted slam, since that would be funnier.

In my college basketball game, I scored the first dunk as a Reverse and the second as a multiplier. We decided that that was the most literal interpretation of something not expressly stated in the rules. I also made a note to myself to clarify that in my next game. :)

See some of the discussion starting with post #701 (other discussion was in the game thread).

schadenfreude <- I just had to look this word up

I didn't pick SCHINDLER'S LIST on this one for a couple of reasons:

1) It has scenes filmed in color, so I'm not sure it qualifies as a "B&W movie" (remember this is a Reverse question, so there can be a wrong answer).

2) Principal photography got underway in March of 1993, which means that much of the movie is actually OVER 20 years old (the question reads "made" not "released"). :)

I wonder if anything will get added to that list by Chaz or whoever is managing his work and brand. The Tree of Life is an obvious candidate; he liked it so much that he had it as one of the 10 best films of all time in the latest Sight and Sound poll. They'll have to use his original reviews, but there are a handful of movies from recent years they could justify adding.

I only remember it making his top ten in 1980 (and not Gene's)... with all the love the film gets here, I (mistakenly) thought it was a good bet.

i didn't play basket ball sheep. therefore those rules are null and void.

I actually said the opposite, but like i said i was absent that game, so I didn't realize a precedent had been set.

I specifically asked about this on page one, and the ruling made that the movie need only be primarily in color...so Raging Bull would count but The Wizard of Oz would not (excluding the "last 20 years" clause).

If my movie matches my brain will melt.

I'm hoping movies released in late 1994 will count as correct. Technically, some (if not all) aspects of it were still being made with the last 20 years.

I'm pretty sure this was covered early in the thread (with movies like SL, with just a dab of color, still considered B&W).

And if someone would seriously be challenging SL (not my answer BTW), post-filming production still counts as part of the "making" process.

Don't forget the 3D conversion (due in theaters July 2014).

But Schindler has more than just a dab of color. If it was just the red coat, that is a dab. SL has actual portions in color.

It's been awhile but was the ending in color?

I think it was in color until Liam Neeson landed in Oz...or am I getting my movies crossed?

Yes, the ending is full color and I believe the beginning is as well.

Was anything in color other than the ending where they showed the real people? I don't remember anything else, and if that's it, personally, I wouldn't count that.

The only colour scene I remember is when they panned away to Schindler's beloved childhood item Rosebud.

Hitler's home movies are shown in color.
