scores

Akhil - 0

Daisy - 1.5

Lizard - 1



Answers:

1. Apocalypse Now



2. Ans i was looking for were specific White Album connections Daisy, not Beatles Connections. However i guess your answer was a connection.

a) The Manson Family - Heavily influenced by the White Album Charles Mansons followers killed Roman Polanski's wife and friends in their house, and scrawled White Album lyrics on the walls in blood (i think it was "All Rise")

b) Roman Polanski acted in the 1992 film "Back in the USSR". This is the title of song 1, disc 1 on the White Album.



3. Keep in mine there was a film link to all of these. The Pixies song Debaser is about the Dali + Brunel (i think) short film called Un Chein Andalau



4. Claude Rains



5. Terry Gilliam





so well done Daisy.
