How Have you all done this? Are you just ploughing through millions of film posters, or is there a better method?????

I can tell you without any doubt they are not Disney movies!

What they are I don't know. Last "adult" movie I saw was pre-child days. And way before those....Haven't got a clue.

I know I need reading glasses but I think I need new ones. I can only get the poster with the writing. Any help with stars etc. before I go cross-eyed?

Thanks to a massive bit of help, I 'm down to needing 4 of htem. The one with the circle pattern is right on the tip of my tongue. I know we've got the dvd somewhere....

If they had been, I wouldn't have needed the help. I can do Disney and anything involving Hugh Grant or Colin Firth.

Anyone up for writing me a quiz on that topic?????

Thanks for the hints in PMs, though. I'm making more progress now.

Thought I'd posted a reply to this earlier.

They are all really BIG films, as big as can be. So directing your search to big stars and their films can be a start.

The problem is, you have to know the big stars. Mulan isn't one!

If I've heard of them then you will too. Some of them even predate the onset of children!

Well, that WAS obvious. Once I looked at it. I should know by now shouldn't I?

After hours of ploughing, and a helpful hint from LAT I've finally made it.

I've got the link between the films. Iv'e got all the films bar one (No 4).

I've been putting all sorts of related stuff into the answer box and nothing works.

Hmmm??? Wonder what I missed?

Cheers. BB. :?: :?:

No 4 is probably the hardest.

I'll try not to give it away, but you sort of need them all in order to get the answer.

Ta

I got No 4 now (yes it took a bit of mental re-adjustment).

I'll see what I can make of it after Top Gear :D :D
