Well I continue with my weekly 2016 puzzles, all ending on Mondays.

This is dedicated to Hollywood Movies. Ahhh Hollywood, where you can lie on the sand and look at the stars (or I suppose vice versa).
The puzzle is broken into three parts, each leading to a different giveaway, and the prizes this week are (in some order) Stacking, Syberia, and the Blackwell Legacy plus a secret bonus giveaway for those who surpass the first three and complete one more challenge

Stargazing
Return of the Son of Stargazing - Part II
Revenge of the Valley of the Stargazing - Part III
[Special Bonus Puzzle after you solve all three] (http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/igXDyCQB)

This puzzle is not completely original. This is based on a puzzle designed by Doug and Janis Heller over a decade ago. I have taken their original idea and run with it.

The winner of the final giveaway can have their choice of one of:
Dungeons - The Dark Lord
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light or
Yet Another Zombie Defense or
Amnesia: The Dark Descent

How did you format question 9 for part 1? I tried many forms but it doesn't seem to work.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it. The format was weird.

Same here. I'm trying the format used on IMDb, but it's not accepted. :/

I have three alternate answers for that including variants on punctuation. One of those is a literal cut and paste from IMDB.

Again I have cut and pasted from IMDB, but I will try to put in the most likely alternate answer as well.

So that leaves part 2, Q11, which I assume must have a typo, so I'm probably going to sleep. :P

Very nice idea for puzzle, I applaud you for that. Despite the fact that some of the constellations seem impossible to guess. :O

Excellent puzzle indeed. The great thing about it is that all films are very well known, so despite the difficulty of huge titles some of the times, they are still doable, with some basic knowledge in filmmaking. (I'm half way now, really enjoying it, google is not even needed 90% of the times)

PS: Stuck immensely on that huge title in puzzle 2 , Q3... EDIT: Solved!

2 puzzles solved, 2 to go
Fan fact: I've seen all of the films till now. :P

Bump for all 3 solved and mail sent.

Could find most movies without IMDB, but a few I could work them out by finding acceptable words and try to find matching titles. :)

Maaaaaan, I tried every possible format but...what's wrong with puzzle#3 Q3 and Q5?? .-.

Q3: If the imdb title does not work, maybe try without symbols etc.

Q5: You probably typed the wrong film

Ty, erasing the symbols worked for Q3 ;)

Bump for solving all 3. Amazing puzzle, definitely my favorite of January. (due to being a film buff myself probably)

In any case, it's way too much work to do the special puzzle so I'll probably pass without even trying, if we knew what the GA was, it would help with our motive...

I'm on that freakin' Q5 puzzle 3 since two hours ago, and still nothing.
Too frustrating being blocked in a three puzzle quest only because of one question D:
EDIT: Aw maaaaan I'm so dumb I already found the title but I thought it can't be possible because I "miscounted" the shift from star to star ><

Remember to use ALL of the lines at least once. Also there are many titles with a similar name
