Empire (Magazine) turned 20, and made this little game. A giant poster with some of the 50 best (in their opinion) movies of all time incorporated. But why does this interest you? Well, I want to see how many you can successfully label. For instance, "Million Dollar Baby" should be an easy find, but there are some very challenging ones.

And based on the ones you find and label, discuss some of your 50 favorite movies of all time.

I only got 9......barely any of those clues make sense.

I got Million Dollar Baby, The Green Mile, Eagle Eye, Ice Age, Monsters Inc., Happy Feet, The Two Towers, The Dark Knight, and Gladiator.

I actually got 12 out of 50. lmao.
It's impressive for me since I've always sucked at these games.

[spoiler]Million Dollar Baby, Eagle Eye, Pirates of the Caribbean, Anchorman, Iron Man, The Pianist, Milk, Happy Feet, Saw, Bolt, The Dark Knight, and No Country for Old Men[/spoiler]

I've got 19/50 right now, but still going. Not going to close that window until I've got all 50.

Have you gotten all 50?

And I'll be upset if Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, or The Shawshank Redemption aren't on here... I haven't found any of them yet and I'm really hoping at least one made it to the list.

I have not. I got to 35 or 40ish, then collaborated with an editor on 8C, and I'm still not done.

24/50 ;-;

I seriously have no idea what ~~that patch of grass (clovers?) could represent... Or~~ that 'CCC' logo on the building is. Am I just stupid or are they as hard as I'm thinking?

Got to 29/50 and gave up.

I really disagree with movies like Ice Age, Cloverfield, Bolt, and Monsters Inc. being in the top 50 of all time. And I got Pi.......I just never used it because I didn't know that it was the title of a movie.

and yeah I agree with this.......One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Shawshank Redemption are two of my all-time favorite movies.......but they don't seem to be on there.

And does anybody know what the dragon is supposed to hint at?

Never give up. Trust your instincts.

I just finished! (Along with the help of a friend and much lucky guessing, of course.)

I don't think they're supposed to be the Top 50 of All-Time.
Just 50 great movies from recent years.

GOD YES I'M DONE. That was possibly the most aggravating puzzle I've ever done. The clues were retarded, and the movie choices odd.

Most anti-climatic prize ever. Not even a free movie download or something?

Nope. Just a game to pass the time, I suppose.

I suppose it was fun while it lasted. Ever solve it?

I'll get there eventually. 34/50. I'm doing it a little bit at a time. But I agree with the odd movie choices. So far I can't say I'd put many (if any - can't remember all of the ones on there now) of them on my list of 'Great movies of the past 20 years'.

It would make more sense if this was recent...

Because I don't see Saving Private Ryan anywhere.

I think I'm one or two shy. I should look into that.
