12.12. I added two examples to the main post. I hope they will help you. In my opinion, the most pleasent thing in puzzle solving is to solve a difficult thing without any hints. So, I still give you a chance to have this feeling and do not post any hints yet :)

for part 1
for part 2
for part 3

Yeah, figured it out already. I think your puzzle will need hints, otherwise it'll be near-impossible to solve. Judging from the examples, it's not just movies, it's TV shows too. There are so many shows and movies in the world, hundreds of movies can fit each picture. So finding the one that you have in mind...

Whoops, sorry for the TV series in the example. Actual puzzles contain only movie titles! Almost all of them are very well known and I am sure everybody at this forum heard about them and the majority even watched them. Less popular movies you can guess just naming what you see at the image.

3 4 out of 5, I think that I'm going to do this! And I did it! Not impossible, if I can give small hint to the fellows (I'll edit this out if creator doesn't like it!): Remember to browse movie lists like imdb top lists. I'm sure that everyone has seen atleast 2-3 of these and the rest aren't very rare either. Browsing a list and seeing title names helps to remember movies and relate plots. Atleast helped me!
Interesting puzzle, new and fresh way to give questions :>

First part solved, the hints helped for 4 and 5. I was looking in the wrong direction.
Might have figured one out eventually, and with one probably the other as well, like it did now.
But that would have taken a lot longer.

those are tough. i am struggling to come up with decent guesses

perhaps may make more sense if you could show an example of the logic used?

Its a new way of solving these puzzles, so an example should be there on how to approach and what approach was used.

I regret a bit that I put that movie for Q1. It is not the most simple question and probably I should not have started with it. But two guys who wrote something in this thread solved exactly and only Q1, so it still should be quite doable. If you solved Q5, maybe Q4 will be quite easy for you. The movies are not connected but the logic is similar.

I love movies, I like puzzles, but really cannot make anything with those ;). I looked at examples, I would probably guess "Harry Potter", I don't think I would guess the other one though. I think it may be especially hard for people from different countries that are not very familiar with English movie names (and believe me, they can be very different XD). Still, interesting idea :).

1 day, 0 solvers. The result says it all, the normal puzzle steamgifters can solved within a minute. Seem like we need hints, can't jump in your mind and know what are you thinking :(

I don't get the last 2 :( I tried like all movies that have anything to do with shadows, and the last one... I absolutely have no clue...For a second I thought "The meaning of life" would be a good answer but that didn't work.
Oh God: Q5 solved... so easy once you got it...
Edit... Solved... But I didn't know that movie... had to search the IMDB

Thanks!
Well, yeah :D I have almost given up, but now with the new hints everyone can solve it, I think :)
Though I'm only level 1 and that's the end of the puzzle for me. Maybe I should start creating some good christmas GAs to increase it (and to make someone happy, of course! :D) ^^
Also thank you for the puzzles! Some of them are really brilliant :)

Thnx, got Q2, Q4 and Q5. Others still no idea, maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow

Q4 should be really obvious with the hint! Just use your imagination and remember everything you know about Romania! Really, I think almost everyone know the needed fact about that country, so googling will probably make it more difficult for you because you will google a million other facts :)

I thought the hint is supposed to tell us the movie was shot in Romania. Tried bruteforcing with all the well-known movies shot there but nothing was correct.
I know absolutely nothing about Romania lol, even though it's not that far from my country.
I'll have to give up from the puzzle, unless you provide more hints. Ones that aren't so vague.
Comment has been collapsed.
No idea, there are too many choices I don't wanna bruteforce every single movie ever shot in Romania. All the ones that I know, and that are well known were incorrect.
Also I am disappointed the answer for Q3 wasn't "The Man from Earth" after reading the description of it in the hint =P
Comment has been collapsed.
I figured it out! I forgot that was in Romania. But I feel silly for not figuring it out based on the picture itself, it's so obvious.
Three more to go, however the hint for Q2 and Q3 can apply to way too many movies and I can't read your mind. Hint for Q1 confuses me more then it helps (maybe I'm stupid because it seems most people solved that one quickly).
Comment has been collapsed.
I updated the hint for Q2 because that movie is not very well known and the original hint was not very obvious. Well, now it is :) I do not want to give hints for Q3 though... It is quite a famous movie and the hint together with the image are good. Maybe later.

THE PUZZLE IS OVER BUT YOU CAN STILL FIND SOMETHING NICE HERE
First Puzzlemania train! Please, join the group :)
Inside: 15 giveaways for LVL1+ and 2 AAA giveaways for LVL2+
UPD1. 12.12. I see that many people are struggling with the puzzle and many do not quite understand it. So, here I give you two examples (see the attachment to the post), I hope they will help. The answers in the title attributes of the images, so just hover the mouse over an image to know the answer. The examples are probably not the best ones, they are just the ones I quickly came with. Also, the logic used in the puzzle varies a lot. It can deal just with the title, as well as with the plot or with some words playing, etc. So, do not consider the examples as everything you need. They only should point your mind toward the right direction.
UPD2. 12.12 Ok guys, I tried to create a difficult puzzle and I succeeded! Not everyone is happy about that though. People blame me about the vague questions and bad logic... So, I added hints to all questions! Now, the difficulty of the 1st part is a lot lower. Check it out! If you do not see the hints, try answer wrongly any question and then refresh the page. After you solve the first part, please tell me what you think about the questions. Were they bad or good?
UPD3. 12.12. We have first solvers of the first part!! Congratulations guys, you are awesome! Hall of fame is located here.
UPD4. 12.12. The hints have been added to the second part!
UPD5. 12.12. The hints have been added to the third part!
UPD6. 12.12. Congratulation to Migga as he is the first solver of all three ITH puzzles! What an impressive achievement! But will he manage to get access to AAA giveaways?..
UPD7. 13.12. I just added the second hint for the first question in part 1.
UPD8. 14.12. Do you want additional hints? Just vote for them! There are three different polls: for part 1 – for part 2 – for part 3.
UPD9. 15.12. The second hint for P1Q2 has just arrived! Now, this question is almost trivial :) Also, another hint added for P3Q5 and P3Q1!
UPD10. 16.12. Additional hints added for all the questions in part 3! Also, added a hint for P2Q3.
UPD11. 17.12. A big hint for the first AAA has been added!
UPD12. 18.12. Many additional hints for part 2 have just been added!
UPD13. 24.12. Only one day left! Many new hints are posted, everyone can solve the puzzle with them!
UPD14. 25.12. Who reached AAA giveaways but did not manage to solve corresponding puzzles, check them again! Solutions are waiting for you!
Hi guys, I hope you are doing great! There will be 17 giveaways in this train because SG does not allow me to create more at this moment.
First, some time ago I creative d my first puzzle, which was a really simple one. Then, I promised to create a more difficult puzzle later. Now, this is the time to do it!
Second, I created a group called Puzzlemania for all the people at SG who are addicted with awesome puzzle we are constantly solving here. I think it has some potential in the future. For example, not everyone has time to daily visit the forum to find out if there are new puzzle trains or puzzle from their favourite author or any other stuff s/he likes. We can post links to new puzzles at the group forum, so people will get notifications about them on Steam. Probably, we even can have some kind of leader board for all the puzzles. There are many ideas but we need to start with something, that's why I kindly ask you to give this group a try and join it :)
Third, the most interesting part, the puzzle itself. The train consists of three cars, you will gain access to each of them by solving the corresponding ITH puzzle. No playing with HTML code, image descriptions, XLATE, etc. Seriously. Zelgh's guide is really awesome but will not help you this time. What will help is logic and knowing some movies. No-no, don't close the page yet. You will not have to guess movies by screenshots. Instead, you will be given a number of pictures, which can serve as covers for different movies. All you need to do is to name them (movies, not covers)! Yes, as simple as that. All titles were taken at IMDB website, so you would better check your answers there.
Fourth, the rules. They are pretty usual: do not share answers, do not share links to the giveaways. Please follow them. If I notice something smelly is going on, I will blacklist everyone who is connected to breaking the rules. In the worst case, I will just cancel the puzzle (very-very-very unlikely, but you were warned, were not you?).
Fifth, the time. All giveaways will end at the 25th of December, so you have 2 weeks. It also mean that you will get your games for the Christmas!
Sixth, the prizes. They are good, although not expensive. There are 15 of such giveaways. However, if you solve all three parts, you will get three pieces of something, which can be used to obtain the access to 2 awesome non-bundled AAA giveaways. So, 17 giveaways in total.
Seventh, the hints. I personally do not like hints, but in case I see that the puzzle is too difficult, I will give plenty of them, so do not worry about this :)
Ok, now you are ready to go! Please, start here, relax, have fun and enjoy your ride!
