Looking for an Omen?


This is a game that passed many minutes and even some hours while on long journeys traveling. Generally we did it with film titles but it can be done just as easily with songs / theatre shows/ TV shows etc. It's basically give us a clue but with one phrase that makes sense in its' entirety - so no other clues are required. The cleverer the clue, the better. Some examples:

Clue: Quiet baby sheep
A: Silence of the lambs (easy eh?)
Clue: Some lads of virtue
A: A few good men
Clue:Supreme bling-bling being
A: Lord of the rings

Hopefully that's clear!!

Let me start it off with some clues...
Answered already:
Clue 1: Looking for an omen- Finding Nemo (AftabH)
Clue 2 : A wet fencer - Swordfish (Snowflake_)
Clue 3: A heavenly metropolis - City of God (AftabH)
Clue 5: Little Carl's behaviour - Carlito's Way (Rosegold)
Clue 6. Feminine essence - scent of a woman (Rosegold)

Next installment:
4. Wellington in danger
7. Small assignment
8. Let me introduce you to the end
9. Brutal record
10. Intensity at the weekend

Samina, mate I will give you a real one when we meet. But don't ride on the crest of one win, you have to get more!

Rosegold, wow girl, you are on fire!! Both Scent of a woman and Carlito's way are correct. If I had a flower, I'd give it! And that Carlito's way is one fantastic film. As you know, in Spanish, anything ending in -ito/-ita is supposed to signify little or cute.

Swordfish and Finding Nemo are correct.
Exshelent! Jabardashte mashte mashte as Sean Connery would say if he knew Hindi!
I have passed a rose on to Aftab, and dammit I can't give anymore, well not without paying! So Samina, I'll give you one next time I see you eh??

How about someone else gives us a clue??? Anyway, as quizmaster I'll update with future clues up above.

Hey! :o) I'm good thanks hun, where have you been hiding yourself?!

Thank you for the book recommendations! Haven't read Shamsie's books, but will have to now!

No idea about either of the first two clues. Something did pop into my head but I'm sure it's wrong so I'll stay quiet! :oP



Oh! Clue 2? Swordfish?

oh hey samina, didn't realise that was you! how are you chickpea? it's faizun here.
by the way, you wanna read a book? read maggie o'farrell - after you'd gone. also scarface. and have you read any of kamila shamsie's books? try kartography

back to this though - focus a lot on the word omen. and think about the kiddie market. damn i wasn't supposed to give clues. i just get impatient!!
