I hope not. Seriously, can't you tell "Last crusade" from the other Indiana Jones movies?

Since the clue specifies a mug, the answer should require the correct film - especially since other movies in the franchise also involve quests for magic religious trinkets.

It's shorter to type Sri Jayewardenepura than "Indiana Jones and the

Last Crusade".

Oh man...only 37% for whiplash. Do yourselves a favor and rent that movie right now. It was incredible. The ending scene is so amazingly powerful and not a word is spoken. So good.

'Babe' was filmed in Australia, but it's not set there. If anything, it's a fictionalised Britain.

Yeah that's true. I'm an Aussie and growing up, I didn't even realise it was an Australian movie. The accents certainly aren't.

The phrase "On Australia Farm" has 6 syllables, not 5. It should be fixed.

It depends if you say it "Aus-tray-lee-ah" or "Aus-tray-lya".

A lot of Aussie's say, "Straya" which would bring it down to 4 syllables

I don't think Babe is set on an Australian farm. Just filmed here. That confused me for a bit.

That was all I could think of. When I saw the intended answer it makes sense, and really I should have gotten it, but Swing Kids seems like it could work too.

American film, stars Miles Teller as an aspiring jazz drummer with a deeply unpleasant teacher (played by J K Simmons, for which he got Best Supporting Actor Oscar).

Oddly enjoyable film.

Won a fair few awards including Oscars for best sound editing and best film editing.
