If you're a bit of a film buff, then you'll love <a href="http://www.filmwise.com" target="_blank">Filmwise</a>.
They host regular film related quizzes and competitions.
Check out <a href="http://www.filmwise.com/invisibles/index.shtml" target="_blank">The Invisibles</a> quizzes, where they've carefully airbrushed the face and hands out of stills from famous movies (so it looks as if they're being acted by a cast of invisible me and women). Often these are themed, so you'll get a whole series of stills with an invisible swordsman or photographer.
Then there are the <a href="http://www.filmwise.com/visual/index.shtml" target="_blank">Visual Quizzes</a> where they've either doctored pictures from the movie to make them hard to recognise, or where they've taken loads of themed stills from movies for you to try and recognise. For example <a href="http://www.filmwise.com/visual/photos_01.shtml" target="_blank">this one</a> has 24 stills from movies, all of which have a close up of a photograph in it. Amazing how many of them you can get from the clues that are there.
Finally, there are the <a href="http://www.filmwise.com/contests/index.shtml" target="_blank">Contests</a>
, along the same line as the visual quizzes, but for which you can actually win a prize. My favourite of these is the series of 'Oscar' contests, where they've taken a still from an oscar winning movie and superimposed the head of Oscar from Sesame Street over the head of the Oscar winner. Silly, but surprisingly tricky to get them all. They do a new Oscar series every year -
<a href="http://www.filmwise.com/contests/contest_01.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>'s the first one.
Why am I telling you all this? Because they also accept submissions from the public for their irregular 'user created invisibles' quizzes, and a picture that I submitted to them earlier this year was used in one of the quizzes whilst I was away. Check out invisible # 5 <a href="http://www.filmwise.com/invisibles/invi ... _006.shtml" target="_blank">here!</a>.
Hope you like this site as much as I do. I think it's great fun.
