Thanks for hosting indeed! I tried my best, but just couldn't think of the right answers. Even with jandal not being my pet I wouldn't have won anyway  Congratulations to roturn!

PM sent, despite I'm quite confident, I feel really comfortable in just a couple of answers.

PM sent. Somewhat confident in 3 of the answers, less so for the other 2. Good questions though!

The first round results are in.
1. Name a movie from the MCU, that is not an Avengers movie.
By taking out the Avengers movies I expected a bigger spread to avoid the Infinity War or Endgame movies. But in the end people simply went for the beginning of the whole MCU with Ironman.
Only Black Panther and Civil War got a single vote as well.
Spoiler | Ironman | 11 | | Black Panther | 1 | | Civil War | 1 |
2. Name a movie from the 90`s starring Tom Hanks.
Probably my biggest fail here. By going for the 90`s I expected a lot of different movies but Forrest Gump easily stood out as I have not thought about this one myself.
Well, two votes for Private Ryan, the one I actually though of as well plus a single vote for Apollo 13.
Spoiler | Forrest Gump | 10 | | Saving Private Ryan | 2 | | Apollo 13 | 1 |
3. Name a movie genre.
People seem to love action movies the most. Also with the MCU impression before, it might be the logical answer. Still quite a dominant win with 8 votes, while only Comedy made it to 2 votes followed by SciFi, Thriller and Porn with a single vote.
Yes Ollfardh, different to your expectations, you apparently are the only childish person on this forum.
Spoiler | Action | 8 | | Comedy | 2 | | SciFi | 1 | | Porn | 1 | | Thriller | 1 |
4. Name a legal video on demand streaming site.
There are several streaming sites and with Disney+ kind of becoming bigger and bigger with the Marvel/Starwars series that are coming with great pace, I expected them to get at least a single vote.
Anyway, all of you seem to love Netflix as this was the only selection!
5. Name a movie about cycling.
Finally some nice selection and one question I got right it seems.
Basically a good hint for myself to check what cycling movies are out there, you seem to voted more than I knew of.
Icarus the top choice with 3 votes followed by Breaking Away and Slaying the Badger with 2. All others with a single vote only.
Spoiler | Icarus | 3 | | Breaking Away | 2 | | Slaying the Badger | 2 | | The Armstrong Lie | 1 | | The Program | 1 | | Tour de Pharmacy | 1 | | Rising from Ashes | 1 | | E.T. | 1 | | Hell on Wheels | 1 |
Results
jandal7 and cunego59 share the early lead. But actually most others are still close. Basically only those that missed the top answers in questions 1-3 might be doomed already, which means the bottom 5. Actually the bottom 2 jseadog1 and Ollfardh missed all of them and you could think, they did it on purpose while valverde at least got Ironman right.
I'm With Stupid Game 5 - Round 2
Sports
1. Name/Predict the winner of the UEFA Euro 2020.
2. Name a sport that doesn`t involve a ball that is not cycling.
3. Name a cyclist who is totally linked to a specific single race, that is not Lance Armstrong (TdF Link).
4. Name one of the all-time greats in any sport discipline from the 20th Century.
5. Name any active discipline at the Winter Olympics.
Answers must be PM'd to me before 8:00am ET on Tuesday, June 15.

I wanted to go for Iron Man, but changed to Civil war because it's so much better. I was expecting more from my other answers though.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Glad I went with Iron Man. I'm not too big on the Marvel movies, some of them I've reallly liked, but some I thought were bad, so went with one I liked, even though its not recent.
Shame about Forest Gump. I guess Tom Hanks kind of ran the 90's so there could have been many options, like Sleepless in Seattle, Toy story too etc.
For cycling movies I was trying to think of that one with Josh Gordon Levitt but couldn't think of the name.

1 off from the cycling movie, but overall a good round to avoid any big mistakes.

Premium Rush! Solid movie, easy watch and nice bit of fun with Michael Shannon as well.
For a properly really really good and unknown Joseph Gordon-Levitt film, watch "7500".
Nothing compared to Breaking Away, a genuinely great sports movie that does not get enough love!
Happy with that fairly easy round to star off. But this Round 2 is definitely a lot trickier...

But if I was really going for a low score, would I have said Netflix?
