FollowOkay… so it’s not really a movie room. It’s a room in my house that my kids have always called “the play room.” It’s got a TV, some game systems, our family computer, a big corner couch.
Last weekend I got a crazy idea for decorating it… looks pretty cool, huh?
Quick contest: Take a peek at the border of movies around the top (I’ll tell you how I did that in a moment). First 5 people who comment below with the title of at least 15 of the 19 movies displayed in this picture… I’ll send you any one of my books for free- your choice. Bonus offer: The first person who sends me the CORRECT names of the directors of all 19 films… I’ll send you any three of my books for free! (make sure you include your email- never displayed- when you enter the comment so I can email the winners)
UPDATE: We have all 5 single book winners: Brian Senecal, Ryan Klein, Ed Overell, Jeff Gin, and Chris Miller have each named at least 15. And now Mike just won the bonus prize too. Good job! Thanks all for playin!
The movies around the top border are actually laser disc covers. For those of you who aren’t total movie geeks like I am… Laser discs are those big silver things that looked like records before DVDs. They actually were the “hype” when VHS was still around. Laser discs had almost twice the resolution… so movie geeks owned them. Once DVD’s came out… movie geeks like me were left with a large collection of silver Frisbees!
But when I saw the covers the other day, I thought, “Hey, those would make a good border around the room!”
There you have it!
Pretty cool, huh?

*I’m pretty unsure about Maltese Falcon. I have a hunch I’m wrong but I can’t figure out what else it is. The ones on either side of Titanic are killing me! I don’t think Gone With The Wind is right, but I can’t figure anything else out!
You guys are awesome. I feel bad… a bunch of you got 13 or 14 correct, but then missed one or two films. A couple of hints:
1. One of the films is NOT “Gone With the Wind”
2. One of the winners submitted 16 titles, in case one was wrong (and one was wrong- so he barely made it). Another winner submitted 18. At least 6 people missed it by just ONE film! You can resubmit.
Here you go: Fargo, Indiana jones (1), La femme nakita, shawshank redemption, in the line of fire, top gun, the color purple, the fugative, braveheart, Titanic, gone with the wind, Star wars, Jerry mcguire, jaws, the terminator, the godfather… That’s all I recognize
If my sermon stinks this Sunday, I’m blaming it 100% and you’re ultra time consuming game here.

Ha… thanks Adam! I don’t feel sorry for you when all you have to do is click on the button at the top of this page and go back to THESOURCE4YM.COM where I provide a ton of free readymade sermons, discussion starters, curriculum, etc. 🙂 I already did your work for you!
HINTS FROM JONATHAN:
Okay… all 5 single book winners are in. That leaves only the bonus prize of any three of my books to the person who can name all the films and directors. That should be a lot simpler now that all the comments are posted. BUT, there are a few movies that no one has named yet.
A FEW NEW HINTS:
– No Maltese Falcon
– No Psycho
– No Matrix
– No Color Purple
– No Rope
– No Remember the Titans
– No Casablanca
– No Aliens
I’ll leave the comments on for a while and see if you guys figure them all out. Ed is the closest so far.
I’ll judge the winner by the first person who posts it correctly.
Here is my shot…
1.Fargo – The Coen Brothers
2.Raiders of the Lost Ark – Steven Speilberg

6.The Shawshank Redemption – Frank Darabont
7.Top Gun – Tony Scott
8.The Birds – Alfred Hitchcock
9.The Fugitive – Andrew Davis
10.Braveheart – Mel Gibson
11.A cross between National Treasure, Tomb Raider and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure with a bit of Space Balls thrown in… Pretty sure a cross between John Hughes and Michael Bay would have to direct this one…
12.Titanic – James Cameron
13.To Catch a Thief – Alfred Hitchcock
14.Star Wars – George Lucas
15.Jerry Maguire – Cameron Crowe
16.The Professional – Luc Besson
17.The Godfather – Francis Ford Coppola
