QoD May 30, 2008 Jeopardy! "Beautiful" Movies

#1 Post by mrkelley23 » Fri May 30, 2008 6:09 am

Fridays are Jeopardy! Days in the June QoD so get your questionmaker ready. Below are five clues and a "Daily Double" in the category of "Beautiful" movies. As fans of the TV show know, the fact that the word "beautiful" is in quotes means that all of your questions should contain that word. Today's game will stay open until Monday morning at 8:00 Central time.

Special rules for Jeopardy!:

Phrase your responses in the form of a question!!

Unlike the TV show version, you do not lose points for an incorrect question (except on the Daily Double), so guess away.

In the spoiler box below is a Daily Double. Before you unspoil it, indicate whether you wish to bet all, one-half, one-quarter or none of TODAY's points on your response. You will not jeopardize or gain points won on preceding games with your Daily Double bet.

No Googling or other search engines allowed, other than your brain.

Point values are as indicated by the clues, which means that the maximum points one could win today would be 110.

Good luck and have fun!

"Beautiful" Movies

4 pts: Ron Howard won an Oscar for Best Director, and Russell Crowe was nominated for Best Actor for this 2001 film based on a true story.

8 pts: This 1997 movie marked the second time an actor had won a Best Actor Oscar for directing himself, and also the second time an acting Oscar had been given for a performance completely in Italian.

12 pts: The title of this 2001 Kirsten Dunst vehicle about an out-of-control rich girl who falls for a Latino boy from the wrong side of the tracks probably refers to the two attributes of the girl that keep the boy hanging around.

16 pts: The title characters of this 1996 movie include Annabeth Gish, Martha Plimpton, and Natalie Portman, who plays a 13-year-old girl that Timothy Hutton develops a crush on. EWWWWWWWW!!!!!

20 pts: Despite the title, this nifty little mid-1980s movie which starred Gordon Warnecke and Daniel Day-Lewis, is not a "soap" opera.

Daily Double:

Nelly is the only one who has watched as many Preston Sturges and/or Betty Grable movies as I have and andrewjackson is the only one who watches the gay channel as much as I do.
Spoiler
The gay channel shows "The Most Beautiful Gun in the West"? I guess they might.

mrkelley23 wrote:Fridays are Jeopardy! Days in the June QoD so get your questionmaker ready. Below are five clues and a "Daily Double" in the category of "Beautiful" movies. As fans of the TV show know, the fact that the word "beautiful" is in quotes means that all of your questions should contain that word. Today's game will stay open until Monday morning at 8:00 Central time.

Special rules for Jeopardy!:

Phrase your responses in the form of a question!!

Unlike the TV show version, you do not lose points for an incorrect question (except on the Daily Double), so guess away.

In the spoiler box below is a Daily Double. Before you unspoil it, indicate whether you wish to bet all, one-half, one-quarter or none of TODAY's points on your response. You will not jeopardize or gain points won on preceding games with your Daily Double bet.

No Googling or other search engines allowed, other than your brain.

Point values are as indicated by the clues, which means that the maximum points one could win today would be 110.

Good luck and have fun!

"Beautiful" Movies

4 pts: Ron Howard won an Oscar for Best Director, and Russell Crowe was nominated for Best Actor for this 2001 film based on a true story.

8 pts: This 1997 movie marked the second time an actor had won a Best Actor Oscar for directing himself, and also the second time an acting Oscar had been given for a performance completely in Italian.

12 pts: The title of this 2001 Kirsten Dunst vehicle about an out-of-control rich girl who falls for a Latino boy from the wrong side of the tracks probably refers to the two attributes of the girl that keep the boy hanging around.

16 pts: The title characters of this 1996 movie include Annabeth Gish, Martha Plimpton, and Natalie Portman, who plays a 13-year-old girl that Timothy Hutton develops a crush on. EWWWWWWWW!!!!!

20 pts: Despite the title, this nifty little mid-1980s movie which starred Gordon Warnecke and Daniel Day-Lewis, is not a "soap" opera.

Daily Double:
Spoiler
The tagline from this 1940s Preston Sturges comedy starring Betty Grable was “She had the biggest Six-Shooters in the West!”
Spoiler
4. What is A Beautiful Mind?
8. What is Life Is Beautiful?
12. What is Crazy/Beautiful?
16. What is Beautiful People?
20. What is The Young and the Beautiful?
one quarter: What is The Beautiful Gunfighter?

Spoiler
1. What is "A Beautiful Mind"?

2. What is "Life is Beautiful"?

3-5 No clue... oh, I'm supposed to take a guess?

3. What is, "A Beautiful Pair"?

4. What is, "Thank Heaven for Beautiful Little Girls" (ewww is right... do they play this at the FLDS compound?)

5, What is "A Day at the Beautiful Opera"?

Not doing very well on this one, so I'd better just go with a half on the Daily Double.

Nope, don't know that one either. What is, "Beautiful Gams"? At least I don't have much to lose.
