The Annual Cryptic
Movie Quiz 2022

Welcome back, once again, for this year’s Cryptic Movie Quiz for the festive period.

How you play...
Check out the grid above and you’ll see spaces for 14 movie titles running horizontally and, below this intro, are the cryptic clues to assist you in working out what these 'non-Christmas' movie titles are. To help out, I’ve filled in a line of letters vertically downwards spelling out MERRY CHRISTMAS... so you have a letter in its correct position for each of the titles. Please don’t forget to click on the grid to see a larger version of it and maybe print it off to help yourself. A quick note... one of the titles includes numerical digits. Punctuation such as commas are left off the grid.

Email your answers to me at nuts4r2@hotmail.com before January 9th 2023 to get your entries in. A few days after that, I’ll stick up the name of the winner (or winners, if it’s a tie or a group effort), along with all the answers, here on my blog. Again, there are no prizes offered as I used to do because, well, times are hard... but if you like solving piuzzles and have some down time during the Christmas break, maybe, give it a go. All answers should be with me by the end of January 9th 2023.

By way of an example, here’s a question from last year’s quiz, followed by the answer...

Example question:
Shoo! It was a bit of a scramble yesterday evening.

Example answer:
Yesterday evening was Last Night. Shoo scrambled up is Soho so... Last Night In Soho.

Or just check out the January solution pages from the last few years to get a feel for how to put these things together. If you keep checking back at the comments section below, I will probably put the odd extra clue down there every now and again to help you out through the Christmas period.

Full marks are rarely scored by anyone (sometimes not even half marks) so... if you’re feeling a bit stuck, there’s still everything to play for. Send me what you’ve got anyway.

I hope you enjoy playing. Make sure you have lots of fun this Christmas period, drink responsibly and play irresponsibly but, don’t spread Covid. And here are the questions...

1. Game of an Egyptian God as a North American warrior.

2. Revisiting where the last shot was fired from half a dozen six shooters.

3. Opposite of a southern lady

4. Ian is the king of the Elephants.

5. A week of non-stop sexual intercourse with a girlfriend named after a month.

6. Sexy texting where 10 becomes 100.

7. Bound from dusk ‘til dawn.

8. Multiple negative sentiments for a droid in Star Wars.

9. Lying and jeering in her final resting place.

10. This Scottish Loch is certainly not happy?

11. This good man is under financial obligation to another.

12. By a body of water, singing that “You got women, you got women on your mind...”

13. Taking a dive from those Autumnal heights.

14. Own up to acting in a lustful manner to the 6th letter of the alphabet.
