The Science Fiction Quiz

I think you're right, it has that MGM look about it. I was thinking The Time Machine but knew that wasn't correct.

242 is Forbidden Planet. Obvious to me, at least.

Correct, and good memory. Forbidden Planet from 1956. Anne Francis and Robby The Robot featured in the below image.

A clue for 243 is Canada. Certainly an obscure film, but the just provided clue should hopefully assist.

HONDO · April 11

Another clue for 243 is a late 1970's theatrical release.

Is 243 Starcrash (1978)?

Sorry, not this one, but close with the name and the time of the film's release.

dedeposter · April 12

That narrows it down then. Starship Invasions (1977)

Will these two new images present a problem in finding the answers for I do wonder.

Is 244 The Invisible Boy (1957)?

HONDO · April 22

dedeposter said:

Is 244 The Invisible Boy (1957)?

Sorry but no. The good news though is that there is a very strong connection between the film in question and The Invisible Boy. Does this assist?

HONDO · April 23

A clue for 244 is eagle.
A clue for 245 is meteor.

HONDO · April 25

A final clue for both 244 and 245 is both are 1950's films that were released in the same year.

Can't believe nobody answered.
244 is Tobor the Great.
245 is Riders to the Stars (but i cheated on this one. Never heard of it)

dedeposter · April 25

I was thinking Tobor (because of Robots from the clue...), but haven't had time to keep looking.

Correct and well done. Science fiction films aren't every persons favourite genre, Both Tobor the Great and Riders To the Stars from 1954.

247
The above two film images are from 'b' grade low budget films, so good luck then in identifying them.

dedeposter · May 1

Stab in the dark for 247 - Earth vs The Spider (1958)?

HONDO · May 1

dedeposter said:

Stab in the dark for 247 - Earth vs The Spider (1958)?

Good guess based on the image but not that film.

dedeposter · May 1

Got it then...Missile to the Moon (1958). Just had to search for films with giant spiders in them!

HONDO · May 1

dedeposter said:

Correct for 247. Good research then to find the answer. This film was released by the poverty row distributor Astor Pictures Corporation. I am sure the poster artwork would have be much better than the film itself.

An excellent clue appears right in front of you in the image of the 'b' grade film featured above.

jayn_j · May 1

The clue is 12 astronauts in image.

12 to the Moon from 1960. Saw that one ages ago.

246 solved, I had hoped the clue would have triggered an answer and it certainly did, so well done. A major studio 'b' grade film release
.

The latest challengers for one to ponder.

dedeposter · May 10

I'll take a break from this one. 248 is far too easy for me!

As a lot of the entries here in this quiz are often difficult to answer I sometimes, as in this case, include an easy one from time to time.. I will also add that what may seem easy for some isn't always the case with others though.

jayn_j · 2:47AM

Hmmm, if Peter passes, I'm the only one left who has been posting in this quiz. I agree on 248 being iconic

HONDO · 2:20PM

Hopefully either Peter or Jayn.J will eventually reveal the answer for 248 here if no one else is forthcoming with the title in the near future. Another clue for others is a much more recent film than those usually included here.

A clue for 249 is number.
