Guess A Movie!

I stumped it on first try, but it corrected itself after 10 additional questions

Well I stumped it with Blake Edward's SUNSET, which it turns out it didn't
have in it's database at all. So I added it and some questions; it says it
will get it next time.

I was able to stump it with "YellowBrickRoad" (which apparently was in
its datebase). I thought about also trying "Chemical Peel", but if
"YellowBrickRoad" stumped it, I'm quite sure "Chemical Peel" would...

Maybe I'll try "What Keeps You Alive" or "It Stains the Sands Red"...
OK, "What Keeps You Alive" wasn't in there - I added that one, and
three questions.

It accurately guessed the animated, "Transformers: The movie" in 16
tries. I'm a little surprised that's even in it's database. I haven't
thought of another one yet. I'm leaning towards something even more
obscure, but I don't want to waste my time on something not in it's
database.

Try 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). I bet you stump it.

I tried "Man Hunt" (1941).

Got tired of playing. Went through three times without guessing it.

It got Electric Dreams pretty easily, but took almost 40 for Goodfellas,
and it guessed Casino first.

It took 34 for Star Trek the Motion Picture (no other guesses) but I had to
answer a lot of them 'not sure'
About 12 in it asked if there were any scenes of Galactic Travel and I was
sure it had me, but then it went off the rails asking about children and
such.

"Guy, some more great news! Now Filmillion is available for iOS in the Apple
App Store!"

Now we can play anytime!

Hmm. I wonder how it does at differentiating BATMAN movies. I'm thinking of
BATMAN 1966
Advanced gadgets? Yes
Fictitious world? Aren't they all?
Uncommon or fictional beings? Duh
Criminal activity? Hell yes
Are there any children? Hmm. Going for 'not sure'
Is the main character the owner of a big corporation? Yikes. Is the Wayne
Foundation a corporation?
OMG
I thought it had me, asking about bad guys and action, and then it guessed
THE CORE
WTaF?
Continue!
Are crimes prevented? Hmm. Solved, avenged ... oh, the dolphin keeps Batman
from being killed. Yes.
HIGH ANXIETY
What!?!?!?!? NO!
Does the hero start out as an underdog? NO
And .. it gave up. WTF?
Well, it has Batman: The Movie in it's database. It just was still stumped.
"Add three questions"
Is there any gratuitous wall climbing?
Do any dolphins sacrifice themselves?
Are there some days you can't just get rid of a bomb?

Impressively, it got "Home Alone" pretty quickly.

I'm going to try something older now...

OK, I stumped it with "The Snake Pit" because it wasn't in the database
- somewhat impressively, it came up with "Girl, Interrupted" (which is
close!), even though I told it the film was "black & white"?

And it nailed "Casablanca" in less than 10 questions, I think! ;)

Wow - it even got "Silent Running" pretty quickly. This is pretty good...

Okay, at the 22 mark, it thinks I'm guessing 2001.
At 29 it says Silent Running. Cool.

Ooo, ooo, I'll try that one:
No advanced gadgets, but, damn, any sequels? Yeah, sort of.
Is there criminal activity? I'd be shocked if there were.
Okay, it got it in 16.

I tried it with Dark Star. It got it, but took 34 questions to figure
it out.

There were several questions that would need a "partially" button as
the answer, like "Is the movie about an alien".

It got "Gregory's Girl" in 19. Stumped it with "Tunes of Glory", although a couple of my responses might have been incorrect.

It doesn't have 'Thief' (aka 'Violent Streets') in its database!

Got 'Wings of Desire' in 29.

It didn't have The Sign of the Cross (1932) or The Sterile Cuckoo (1969).
It's guesses always seemed to be 80s or later.
