It is time to test your film knowledge with the October edition of I Have Scene It Before. Last month only 16 of the 21 films were identified. The five films that proved challenging were: the 1997 Harrison Ford/Brad Pitt thriller The Devil’s Own (#6); the 1992 prison drama American Me (#12); the 1998 sci-fi flick Phantoms (#14); the 2011 horror You’re Next (#18); and the 1986 early Sharon Stone vehicle Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (#21). Here is this month’s selection of film scenes. How many can you identify?

1 – casa de los babys
4 – oldboy (spike lee version)
5 – infernal affairs
8 – gentlemen prefer blondes
9 – run lola run
14 – into the wild
15 – quick change
16 – the shining
#14 is wrong (I had forgotten she was in that film as well) but the rest are correct.
Oh, I love these games.
Here’s what I think:
4 – Oldboy (Spike Lee version)
5 – Infernal affairs
6 – Maybe wings of desire
8 – Gentlemen prefer blondes
9 – Run Lola Run
10 – Funny Games (2008 version)
11 – Maybe Mighty Aphrodite
15 – What About Bob?
16 – The Shining
17 – Wolf Children
19 – Maybe Barney’s Version
20 – I don’t know it but I think it’s a Kevin Smith film
21 – Wes Craven’s New Nightmare
#6, #11, #15, #19 and #20 are incorrect.
You got the right answers for the rest.
Most of the ones I know are gone, possibly all.
Here are a few guesses:
3. Jack
6. Faust (silent version)
12. Mr. Mom?
18. Why Did I Get Married
20. Extract
#6 and #20 are correct. You are on the right track, very close in fact, with #18.
#3 and #12 are wrong.
2. Swordfish?
4. Oldboy remake
5. Infernal Affairs
6. Faust?
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark?
8. Auntie Mame?
9. Run Lola Run?
10. Funny Games remake?
12. Magic Mike?
13. Freeway
14. Into the Wild?
15. Quick Change
19. An Education or Barney’s Version?
21. Obviously one of the Nightmare on Elm Street films, but I haven’t seen them so I don’t know which one.
13 and 15 are the only ones I am absolutely positive about.
Here are the ones that are wrong: #7, #8 (had not heard of that film until now), #12, #14, and #19.
You are on the right track with #21.
11. Mimic
14. Undertow
Correct on both counts.
Isn’t 19 Surrogates?
Indeed it is!
I think #12 is Mr. Mom.
Wrong film, right decade.
Bachelor Party?
Nope. Right genre though…
2. Swordfish
4. Oldboy
10. Funny Games? Only film i know of with Michael Pitt in white looking creepy
14. no way thats Cold Creek Manor is it?
that’s all i got =/ i feel like i should know #7
i might as well guess 19. Gone Girl
#14 and #19 are wrong, but the rest are correct.
#3 is Deconstructing Harry
Correct.
