Our stall dominated the City

Film buffs came from far afield to take part in our unique film quiz

It was often a team effort.

And, yes, someone got it all right! We have also drawn two other participants who won a DVD each. Thank you all for taking part and, if you enjoyed taking part, don’t forget our infamous film quiz preceding our July screening!

Answers to the Blythe Hill Fields Festival film quiz: Ben Hur, Raging Bull, Oceans Eleven, Chinatown, Kes, L.A. Confidential, Easy Rider, Yentl, Jean de Florette, African Queen, Citizen Kane, Killing Fields, Fantasia, I’ve Loved You So Long, Lost in Translation, Memento, City of Men, Love Actually, Usual Suspects, Breathless.

Thank you to all our members and interested newcomers who came along to our small but sweet screen stall at the Brockley Max festival on June 5^th.  It was a gloriously hot, sultry afternoon to be talking film, on a grassy hill, with like-minded local culture-vultures.  The eponymous “Brockley Jack Film Club Name-That-Film Quiz” proved very popular across the course of the afternoon. Thank you to everyone for your valiant efforts to plumb the depths of your own mental film archives – lots of fun (coupled with some mild irritation and frustration) was had!

We saw some 40 highly respectable entries, many of which were very close to gaining a full alphabetic house of 26 classic and arthouse films. Congratulations are in order for the three Olympian film buffs who were our clear winners – Gold, Silver and Bronze – you know who you are by now hopefully and some highly coveted film club prizes are on their way to you.  We also had three brilliantly inventive, booby prize winners, who chose to ignore our pictorial prompts and went away to create their own full alphabet of films – B is for Batman…. Z is for Zoolander, etc.! Some free tickets to our next screenings are on their way to you too!

The Brockley Jack Film club will be setting out its wares again on Saturday July 3^rd at the Blythe Hill Fields Festival with another cinematic challenge for your delight.  We look forward to seeing you there!
