Geocache Description:


This is the first of five caches in my movie-related puzzle cache series:

Movie Madness #1: Quotes (GC1MDHV)
Movie Madness #2: Locations (GC1MDHW)
Movie Madness #3: Awards (GC1MDHY)
Movie Madness #4: Characters (GC1MDHZ)
Movie Madness #5: Joint Projects (GC1MDJ0)

When you have found all five caches, you will have enough information to track down Movie Madness Final, which has the REAL goodies including DarkSide Cinema gift certificates for the first three finders!

The listed coordinates are the best parking spot for seeking the actual cache, which is within two miles of that location. Do not block the orange gate. Even if the gate is open, do NOT drive beyond it, because it can be locked at any time!

To determine the actual coordinates, determine the movies in which the following quotes were uttered. For each movie, add the digits of its production date together. If the sum is more than one digit, keep adding until you are left with one digit. For example, the quote "I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender" comes from "On The Waterfront", which was released in 1954. 1 + 9 + 5 + 4 = 19... 1 + 9 = 10... 1 + 0 = 1

Replace those digits into this pattern to determine the actual coordinates:

N 44 AB.CDE W 123 1F.GHI

A. "We're all dead. Burned to a crisp."

B. "Never trust a cop in a raincoat"

C. "Heeere's Johnny!"

D. "I'm not gonna debate you, Jerry! I'm not gonna debate!"

E. "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters"

F. "If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way around."

G. "Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!"

H. "Look in your heart! Look in your heart!"

I. "Why so serious?"

The Internet Movie Database is the source for all information used in these five puzzles.

The container is a small M258A1 Military Decontamination Box. There is only room for the log sheet and VERY SMALL trackables (e.g., geocoins). Bring your own writing instrument! Please replace the log book inside the plastic bag, make sure that the lid is snapped tightly shut, and hide the container as well (or better) than you found it.

When you have logged all five caches in this series, please e-mail me and I will be happy to give you the coordinates and information for the final.

You can check your answers on Geochecker.com.

Although I did my best to ensure the accuracy of these coordinates, you may experience some drift due to tree cover.

*** IMPORTANT *** This cache has been placed with the express permission of the McDonald Forest Recreation Manager. This area is open from dawn to dusk. There is no need to take more than two steps off the trail to retrieve the container. NO BUSHWHACKING IS REQUIRED!


Congratulations to greenwordturner for being FTF!
