    I have been thinking for a while of a topic for this round of the LIF, and have finally decided on the game. I have selected my favorite movie from each of 20 countries. Your job is to come up with 5 of them.

    For example:

    1. Kuwait- Losing Ahmad
    2. United States- What About Bob?
    3. Canada- Strange Brew
    4. India- Slumdog Millionaire
    5. England- Pride & Prejudice

    I will not provide a list of the countries, some could be small, some could be large. I will check in periodically to see if any country's film has been guessed correctly, and let you all know when it has been guessed.

    One guess per person until I give a hint or let you guys know that a country has been guessed correctly, and no make up guesses.

    The prize will be determined when someone wins, and it will consist hopefully of a couple of wants and some locals.

    Please start your own LIF within a reasonable time, and lower 48 only.

    You would have gotten 2 correct, but the countries were not on my list of 20.

    I meant to post this on the original message, but this website is a decent reference for people not too well versed in world cinema: http://istanbulfilms.blogspot.com/2010/05/best-movies-from-new-zealand.html

    Obviously, the #1 rated movie from each country is not my favorite, but there could be one or two in there:wink:.

    No new guesses yet.
