Answers to/winner of our Easter film pictures competition

I hope everyone enjoyed doing this competition as much as I enjoyed setting it! Here are the answers.

Easy films

The 5 "easy" films were as follows:

The first 5 films were easy, although a number of people got the 5th one wrong.

The correct answers were:

Number	Film	Derivation
1	Finding Nemo	... in a word search
2	Reservoir dogs	A reservoir and some dogs!
3	Notting Hill	Knitting Hill, with signalled adjustments
4	Wall-E	Wall (VAN)E
5	Braveheart	An Indian brave and a heart

Medium films

The 5 "medium" films were:

Quite a few people got the first two wrong (one person putting Transformers as an answer to the second one, which isn't a bad guess).

The answers were:

Number	Film	Derivation
1	Thelma and Louise	That's Thelma from the 1970s comedy Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads, and Louise Brown (the world's first test-tube baby). I regret choosing such an obscure Thelma.
2	The Matrix Revolutions	This one is exactly what the picture shows! Two people guessed Tennet for this.
3	La La Land	La La being the name of the yellow Teletubbie shown.
4	Titanic	Or TI(E) + TAN + IC(E)
5	Pulp Fiction	The first picture is of Sheffield rock band Pulp, fronted by Jarvis Cocker; the second one shows the effect of friction (from which you must remove the R).

Hard films

The 5 "hard" films were:

The first and last ones were my favourites, although they weren't to everyone's taste.

The answers were:

Number	Film	Derivation
1	Every which way but loose	Every witch way is shown apart from "Loose". It seems that this film title isn't quite as famous as I thought it was - apologies.
2	Batman	BATH-MAN loses his H.
3	Brokeback Mountain	Brokeback is in indicator that you should break the letters BACK (in this case into KBCA).
4	No time to die	We have (Dr.) No + Time (as shown by a clock) + T(w)o Die(s)
5	To kill a mocking bird	Pronounced here as Tequila Mock-King Bird. The Mock-King is someone playing George III in the stage production of Hamilton; the cocktail shown is a tequila sunrise, from which you should remove the sunrise.

The winner of the competition is Jackie Rutherford of Torus, whose name was the first drawn out of our randomised sorting hat (pleasingly, she was one of the people who got all of the answers correct, thus slightly increasing her chances of winning). Congratulations to Jackie, who wins this month's £50 Amazon voucher!
