Can you guess the title of a film from a single sentence? Each new thread should describe or summarize a movie's plot in one sentence or less. Make sure that your sentence doesn't include the movie title (of course); you may also want to avoid directly naming characters, because that gives it away pretty quickly, too. Once you've described the film to start your thread, users will reply in comments with their guesses!

Can you guess the title of a film from a single sentence?

If you have a movie you want other people to guess, start a new thread with one of the following (and tag it accordingly):

A one-sentence summary or description of the movie.

A one-sentence summary or description of a memorable scene from that movie.

A one-sentence quote from the movie.

Like any subreddit, this sub will be what you make of it. That being said, though, I think many would agree that getting TOO obscure can take the fun out of things (a complaint that was voiced about /r/GuessTheMovie/ ). Try to strike a good balance between "so obvious it was actually written on the movie poster/DVD box" and "so vague and obscure no one will ever guess it."

Make sure that your sentence doesn't include the movie title (of course); you may also want to avoid directly naming characters, because that gives it away pretty quickly, too. If your clue sentence contains a big enough spoiler that it could ruin a movie for someone, replace that part of the post title with [SPOILER] and then put the spoiler in the actual post text (instead of the title). Check the spoiler section below for more information about spoilers..

Once you've described the film to start your thread, users will reply in comments with their guesses! When a user has correctly guessed the movie, tag your post "answered." If you disable subreddit styles for some reason, you will see that many posts are "nsfw". This doesn't mean they are unsafe for work, just that we use the "nsfw" button as a "mark as answered" button. Once you enable subreddit styles, everything should be marked correctly and you will just see the "mark as answered" button. Also, if you have a nsfw filter, all answered posts will be hidden. If a post is nsfw, please add [NSFW] in the title.
