Somewhere out there in the world is the perfect dream girl, waiting to meet her dream man. Maybe that dream man might just be one of today's quiz takers - who knows? It's not up to us to say, but what we can do is help shed some light on that elusive dream romance through this nifty quiz. How does it work? Quite simple, really - pick the best among the following moves, and by processing the answers through a vastly complex algorithm, we'll be able to reveal what that dream girl actually looks like.
Of course, this is no matchmaking quiz. All we can do is lead quiz takers closer toward their dream girl - what we can't do is pair them up with said girl. Though, no one really wants that anyway, since it would take the fun away from the chase. At the very least, once we leave here today, we'll all have a better idea of what our dream girl looks like, and we'll know exactly what to keep our eyes peeled out for.
Ready to dive in? Then let's do it! The following are some of the best movies out there - pick the greatest flicks, and we'll see what that elusive dream girl looks like.
Pick or pass on Ready Player One
Ready Player One? This quiz might not provide the same level of virtual reality that we've seen in this movie, but does Ready Player One reveal a dream girl at the end of it? Nope, it definitely doesn't. Let's pick or pass on this one.
Pick or pass on Whiplash
Whiplash made a big splash when it was released a few years back. Whether the viewer happens to be a drummer or not, this is an all around great film. However, we imagine that the drummers out there have seen Whiplash more than once.
Pick or pass on Prisoners
Prisoners is a deep, complicated movie, and the moral questions it presents are almost too intimidating to even look at. So instead of looking at them here, let's simply pick or pass on the movie so we can move on to the next one.
Pick or pass on The Social Network
The Social Network showed the rise and... well, continued rise of one of the most influential (not to mention youngest) tech magnates of all time. It's a bit of a divisive movie, so we might have to think about this one for a minute.
Pick or pass on Arrival
Arrival presents an interesting and unique take on humanity's first contact with an alien race. The story is a slow burn, but those who stick around till the end will find themselves greatly rewarded. Do we pick this one, or pass it up?
Pick or pass on 127 Hours
James Franco knew exactly what he was getting into when he agreed to star as the lead in 127 hours, but the dude the movie was based on definitely did not see his obstacles coming in the real world. Is this one worth picking?
Pick or pass on Her
There aren't many movies quite like her - in fact, we can't think of a single one. It presents an oblique take on the power of technology, specifically by featuring Scarlett Johansson as an operating system Joaquin Phoenix can't help but fall for.
Pick or pass on The Revenant
Leonardo DiCaprio faces the full power of the natural world in The Revenant. We can't imagine what we would do in some of the situations he was trapped in, but watching him deal with them sure is a good time.
Pick or pass on Edge of Tomorrow
Edge of Tomorrow traps its cast in a seemingly never ending loop, though there might just be an escape route to be discovered if the players of the game are cunning enough to find it. Anyone who's seen this one has likely enjoyed it.
Pick or pass on Big Hero 6
Big Hero 6 features Baymax and friends in the adventure of a lifetime. This one is as dazzling as animated blockbusters come, and we doubt many will pass it up. This might be a key determining factor of the dream girl, so choose wisely.
Pick or pass on Rush
Rush isn't the only movie in recent memory to feature an epic confrontation between two rivals, but few other films have pulled it off so well. These drivers are about to take off - but first, let's pick or pass on their movie.
Pick or pass on Moonlight
Moonlight received widespread critical acclaim upon its release, and those who have seen it know that the hype was super valid. It's an emotional story told beautifully, and we think it's well worth a pick. But our opinion matters not here.
Pick or pass on Doctor Strange
After building up a career as the perfect surgeon, Doctor Strange set his sights even higher: becoming a master wizard. It didn't take him too long to earn the title, and he now fights alongside Marvel's greatest heroes. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on The Martian
Seeing Matt Damon stranded so perfectly on such a lonely rock as Mars breaks our hearts, but the movie is worth a watch despite the pain it causes. Who knows - if Matt plays his cards right, he might just make it back to Earth.
Pick or pass on The Lego Movie
The Lego Movie is an amalgamation of a number of different movies, all squished together and re-shaped in Lego form. As predictable as this movie might seem, it definitely comes with its share of surprises. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on Sicario
Several films in this quiz tell a hopeful, heartwarming tale - Sicario, meanwhile, definitely does not. Indeed, seeing this one might cause some to lose a lot of their faith in the world, but maybe their dream girl might help them build it back up.
Pick or pass on It
Be warned: some rooms within this webpage are dangerous virtual spaces, where a nefarious clown entity might lie waiting. Uh oh - it looks like we're in one of those rooms right now! Let's pick or pass, and be super quick about it.
Pick or pass on Hugo
Many of us have forgotten about Hugo, Martin Scorsese's whimsical take on a story aimed at a younger audience. It's definitely not what we think of when we think of a Scorsese flick, but it's a good one nonetheless.
Pick or pass on Beasts of No Nation
Beasts of no Nation is definitely one of those movies that we need to sit down in order to watch properly. Otherwise, some of the scenes might just cause us to fall over. Hopefully we're seated as we pick or pass on this one.
Pick or pass on Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal plays a real creep in Nightcrawler, though we hate to admit that his character does have a certain degree of charm to him. At any rate, this is definitely a high quality movie, well worth a pick for sure.
Pick or pass on The Jungle Book
The Jungle Book features Mowgli in his classic adventure, brilliantly represented in live action. Be careful - we sense the presence of a cunning tiger here, and there's no telling what he might do if he catches wind of us.
Pick or pass on Inglourious Basterds
It's hard to narrow down a selection of the top Quentin Tarantino movies, but some would argue that Inglourious Basterds is definitely up there. Brad Pitt is waiting for our answer here, and we think he's expecting a pick.
Pick or pass on The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises had a tough act to follow, since the Joker from The Dark Knight left such a lasting impression. Despite that, we think Christopher Nolan and co. did a pretty good job with this sequel. Do we pick or pass?
Pick or pass on A Quiet Place
John Krasinski proved to the world that he can do much more than work in a paper company when he directed A Quiet Place. A critical and commercial success, this is definitely a movie worth watching. Should we pick it or do we pass it up?
Pick or pass on The Tree of Life
A few selections in this quiz are bizarre and hard to understand, though none are quite as abstract as The Tree of Life. Even after a few rewatches, we're still not quite sure what's going on with this one. Do we pick it?
Pick or pass on How to Train Your Dragon
For anyone who recently stumbled upon a wild dragon and are looking to train it somehow, look no further: this movie covers that field in its entirety. Most animated movie fans have seen this one by now - pick or pass?
Pick or pass on Split
After starting his career off super strong, director M. Night Shyamalan seemed to be slipping more and more with each new production. However, he redeemed himself quite well with Split, starring James McAvoy. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on The Wolf of Wall Street
Actor Leo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese form a team stronger than peanut butter and jelly in The Wolf of Wall Street. This is definitely one of the more controversial films in here, but those who love it tend to love it a lot.
Pick or pass on Ex Machina
Because we're currently in a pre-AI interim, movies that depict artificial intelligences are particularly interesting. As far as that field goes, no film in recent memory is quite as impactful as Ex Machina. What a movie this is - pick or pass?
Pick or pass on Anomalisa
Claymation movies usually tend to be light hearted and playfully shallow, but Anomalisa is the complete opposite. It's a well thought out, deeply personal story that leaves a solemn impression throughout its run. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on The Artist
The Artist is unique in this list as the only movie without any audible dialogue. Still, what it doesn't say with words it says with beautiful imagery. The Academy seemed to love this one, but some might think a little differently.
Pick or pass on Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman might seem like any regular damsel upon first glance, but stick around for a while and she might demonstrate her great power. She's one of the strongest superheroes in the fictional world, so let's please her with our choice here.
Pick or pass on Blade Runner 2049
Decades after the initial Blade Runner movie was released, this juicy sequel came along to take things even deeper. With Ryan Gosling as the lead, it's hard not to love this eerie sci fi flick. Do we choose it, or does it fall short here?
Pick or pass on Looper
Looper features a strange yet fitting duality between Joseph Gordon Levitt and Bruce Willis. We won't say more than that so as to avoid spoilers, but we will say that these two are similar in more ways than one. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on The Fighter
The Fighter is, essentially, a movie about boxing, but there's a lot more richness to be found here than mere punches to the face and body. Rather, for those willing to look, there's some heartfelt sentiment to be uncovered here.
Pick or pass on Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider-Man: Homecoming is far from being the first iteration of Spider-Man on the big screen, but some would say that it's easily the best. Regardless, we doubt this will be the last reboot of the franchise. Should we pick it or pass it up?
Pick or pass on Logan
Wolverine is on a mission in Logan, and he won't stop until he accomplishes it. This film showed us a whole new, surprisingly human side to the classic X-Man, and now we feel like we understand him much more.
Pick or pass on Coco
Coco is unique in the field of animated blockbusters, since it shows no hesitation to diving into deep, highly mysterious concepts. Those who are interested in what lies beyond the veil should definitely look into this one.
Pick or pass on Steve Jobs
In the real world, Steve Jobs was a legend who forever changed the field of technology. In the fictional world, Michael Fassbender did a pretty good job of portraying him on the big screen. At least, we think so, but others might disagree.
Pick or pass on Interstellar
Director Christopher Nolan took us into the far reaches of space to tell the story of Interstellar. Of course, he had a little help from Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and the rest of the cast. Let's pick or pass on Interstellar.
Pick or pass on Spirited Away
Spirited Away is one of Hayao Miyazaki's greatest works. It's a timeless, wicked, wild tale, and it's likely that it'll continue to be revisited for several generations to come. Calling all anime fans - this is definitely a movie to pick.
Pick or pass on Inside Llewyn Davis
Llewyn Davis is a complex man, or so he seems to be. In a way, all he really wants to do is play the guitar, and all the Coen brothers want to do is help tell his story. This is a bit of a niche film, but many consider it an absolute gem.
Pick or pass on Manchester by the Sea
We're almost done figuring out who this special dream girl looks like - before we get there though, let's continue with a few more picks. Maybe Manchester by the Sea makes the cut, maybe it doesn't - what will it be?
Pick or pass on Drive
Drive features Ryan Gosling in the solemn, ruthless role of a crazy driver. As the title promises, this movie offers a ton of driving, though there's much more than that to discover for those willing to look. Let's pick or pass on this one.
Pick or pass on Silver Linings Playbook
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence clash beautifully in Silver Linings Playbook. This wacky, alternative take on a romantic comedy shows what happens when two loonies get together and fall madly in love. Pick or pass?
Pick or pass on Inherent Vice
Inherent Vice is a master work directed by film guru Paul Thomas Anderson. With its stacked ensemble cast, mean script and solid direction, it's hard to see why anyone would pass on this one. What will it be - pick or pass?
Pick or pass on The Hateful Eight
Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is a wintery version of a classic Western flick, and of course, it's given the classic Tarantino spin by its director. His movies aren't for everyone, but most people would definitely give this a pick.
Pick or pass on Dunkirk
With all the war movies that have decorated cinematic history, it's tough to whittle down a list of top picks, but here Dunkirk is, vying for a spot. Christopher Nolan's version of a war flick is definitely worth a watch - or is it?
Pick or pass on The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby features Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby, the fabled character from F. Scott Fitzgerald's most iconic novel. Gatsby is a solitary figure, and some see the man as a mountain, but there's one thing in life he really wants. What is it?
Pick or pass on Isle of Dogs
Isle of Dogs, aside from having a nifty pun hidden in its title, is a wonderful movie about some dogs on an island. An unconventional watch for sure, there's a ton of surprises to discover in this one. Do we pick it or pass it up?
