Today is officially when yours truly is reminded that the sands of time slow down for no man; that’s right I turn another year older today. This birthday will be extra memorable on several fronts. By time you read this, my wife and I will have welcomed our second child into the world. So needless to say, this coming year will be one of big changes on a personal front.

Since I am in the celebrating mood, I have decided to resurrect an old favourite for many long time readers. For those unfamiliar with the feature, I Have Scene It Before is a fun little game that tests your film knowledge. Below you will find a series of films scenes, your job is to simply identify as many films as possible. It is highly recommended that you submit your guesses prior to seeing what other readers have submitted. Remember just because someone has made a guess does not necessarily mean that is it is right. How many of the following scenes can you identify?

    my computer must suck because i can’t even make out whats happening in 14

    1. All four are correct. As for 14, it is a tough one to make out. The main character (played by an actor who was in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy) is holding up a wooden figure in the night sky.

  5. Congratulations and happy birthday, Courtney. Hope your family is all snuggled in somewhere and doing well.

  6. First, congratulations!

    Second, you didn’t take it easy on us for this, did you? I don’t really know any for sure and can only even make guesses on a few.

    9 – Slumdog Millionaire?
    13 – Jarhead?
    17 – I know I’ve seen this. Is it Babel?

  8. Happy birthday and congratulations! These are super tough. Is #16 Home? Is #21 Iris? I feel I should know more but I’ve got nothing else.

    1. Thank you, Peggy! It has definitely been a big change (hence the sporadic blogging, late replies, etc) but a good one. Wishing you all the best for 2016. Look forward to reading more of your great reviews in the New Year.

      1. Thanks Courtney.. Happy 2016 to you and yes!! you know I love reading all your reviews so very much looking forward to a new year of them also!! 😀
