She must be feeling sorry for us with no guesses... so she added a couple more... inserted into the quote below.

OK here is the deal... That big package I know I will be having soon... from the same person that sent me 120 titles in 1 box. She told me this morning she will not be telling me any more titles that will be in the box. This is because she is going to be sending it out in the next week or two. Meaning it probably won't arrive till about the middle/end of May. And May 31st is my Birthday. So she wants the remainder to be Birthday presents.

She also loves to torture me about the titles. so she is giving me clues to some of the titles for me to try to figure them out. She also said I could go to the forums for help with the clues.

Here is the clues I got for the first title...

- If you can guess the title of this DVD you will be a winner
- The odds are against you
- A Robert Redford famous movie might hold the answer
- 1990 was a very good year
- Don't be tempted by shortcuts
- What's the deal? You don't have any ideas?
- Wrong answers don't count.

And yes... that is all for one title. :P

The clues seem so....unrelated, that it is hard to connect them. :stars:

Last night I was able to find out those clues were for the movie...

21
Inspired by the true story of MIT students who mastered the art of card counting and took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings. Looking for a way to pay for tuition, Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) finds himself quietly recruited by MIT's most gifted students in a daring plot to break Vegas. With the help of a brilliant statistics professor (Kevin Spacey) and armed with fake IDs, intelligence and a complicated system of counting cards, Ben and his friends succeed in breaking the impenetrable casinos. Now, his challenge is keeping the numbers straight and staying one step ahead of the casinos before it all spirals out of control.

Well what can I say... she really likes to torture me! Her clues are always very hard... but yet once you know the answer they do tend to make sense.

OK... my friend threw me a bone... telling me she is sending me....

Beverly Hills 90210: The Pilot Episode
The Walsh Family moves from Minnesota to Beverly Hills where twins Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda (Shannon Doherty) enroll in West Beverly Hills High. Each member of this solid midwest all-American Midwest family is challenged by the excitement, romance and glamour of Beverly Hills.

But she is also torturing me with the following clues for another title.

Number of Word/letter in Title: (Hangman Style)

---------- ---- --- -------- -------

Other Clues:
- This DVD is a box set.
- When is a box set not a box set?
- This collection spans a period of 22 years.
- It is a Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition.
- It contains over two hours of bonus materials

So What do you say... Can someone help me out?

It spans 22 years but is on 2 discs? 

Hmm...Maybe a collection with episodes from the different Star Trek movies.

My guess would be, that it is two films, with 22 years between them.

That is based on the "- When is a box set not a box set?" hint, which could refer to a "Bonus Film" setup in DVD Profiler :D "Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition" does not look like a TV series ;)

On that I was thinking on the spanning 22 years something like Achim was saying or possibly an original and remake sold together? But who knows we could all be wrong!  :P

I don't know yet if I am right or not... but I am going to let you all in on my guess...

The Clues once again...

Number of Word/letter in Title: (Hangman Style)

---------- ---- --- -------- -------

Other Clues:
- This DVD is a box set.
- When is a box set not a box set?
- This collection spans a period of 22 years.
- It is a Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition.
- It contains over two hours of bonus materials

My Guess:


Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier

Everything seems to fit except for the second word in the "Hangman" style Clue. The second word should be 3 letters instead of four. so I am think that is just a typo

The set includes:
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Apocalypse Now: Redux (2001)

That is a span of 22 years.

What do you all think?... I think I got it!  :thumbup:
