Comparity Cinema

The history of world cinema is full of paradoxes. Big-budget films by famous directors flop at the box office and do not win a single Oscar, but a few decades later these same movies suddenly become cult favorites. A shaky video taken by an everyday camera suddenly turns out to be the revelation of the year and leads to a new trend. George Lucas releases the third episode of Star Wars 28 years after Episode Four. Any movie buff could tell you about dozens of similar stories. Needless to say, being quick-witted and well-read will help you in a game where you have to sort movies by release year and box-office draw, but luck, intuition, and the ability to bluff will help you at least as much, if not more.
