action, history, sci-fi or Thriller.

 

 

No - you can gather that [glow=red,2,300]at least one[/glow] of the actors was not a relative unknown.  The rest of the cast might be entirely unknowns, or they might all be famous actors.

Ok, this is what we know...

 

The movie did not get nominated for an Oscar, is either a comedy, mystery or family, it was released in the 90's, was directed by an American and takes place in the 20th Century.

 

Ok, I'm gonna go with my trademark question:

 

Q10: Does this film star Kevin Bacon?  ;D

So what we know:

The director is from the states.

The movie is a comedy, family, or mystery. My bet is Comedy but I wouldn't rule out family either.

The story takes place in present day.

It was released in the 90's.

It didn't make more than 40 million at the box office... so probably a box office bomb.  It may not have been well known or it may even be straight to video.

Anybody plan on asking Q14?

 

 

[Emperor]

I think we are all trying to think up a good question to narrow down the list further.  I will ask another one trying to narrow down the date.

 

Did this film premier in theaters after December 31, 1995?

Did this film premier in theaters after December 31, 1995?

 

YES

[Emperor]

Ok what we know....

 

The movie was in the theatres between 1996 and 1999.

This movie was never nominated for an Oscar.

The film takes place in the 20th century.

At least some of the cast were already established actors.

The film wasn't a great success... it grossed less than 40 million at the box office.

It is not a comedy geared toward adults.

It can only be a comedy geared toward kids or families, a family movie or a mystery.

The title has more than two words.

 

With that, I am going to offer up some suggestions for us to discuss before asking. Keep in mind we only have 7 questions left.

 

It seems the odds are this is a family movie.  I am debating if there is a real need to waste a question on ensuring this.

 

Kivam:  Is this movie a live action film? 

 

 

[Kivam]

Yes

[SinisterDeath]

Does the tittle have the vowel E in it?

[Cadsuane]

Sin... is that a joke?? E is the most common letter in the English language...  :P

[SinisterDeath]

Well, I was thinking of O, but if it doesn't have an O in it, that doesn't tell us much of anything,  but if it does, that narrows the list down. E on the other hand, if its a yes that tells us nothing, but if no that tells us alot... So really its a gamble, and if you like I could exclude the word 'the' from the title. :P

[Paityr]

After Sinister's question I think we should ask if the title contains the word "dork".
