Guess the film

fade2black

Inspired by that great puzzle over on the puzzle forum (involving the hidden movies in the painting)....

This could be quite fun. Basically, each person attaches a photo that they took themselves and it should give a clue to a movie. It can be cryptic or anything really, but must be solvable and not impossible...

I'll get the ball rolling. (And I have a feeling it won't roll that far). I'm not going to say anything about this picture (taken on the phone) but I think it's fairly easy.

6th

Brokeback Mountain?

fade2black

Nope. This one is not that cryptic. I'll give clues if needed along the way, but if you look hard enough at the pic, and have seen the film in question (most people have) then it will come to ya.

gustavo

A Room with a View?

fade2black

lol. Nope.

wba88

Vanilla Sky? Im prob wrong but Gr8 idea for a game.

fade2black

Thanks, i'm looking forward to trying to guess someone elses.

Not Vanilla Sky though...something in the picture looks like something....I've said too much...

wba88

Damn this is wreckin my head and I wont b able 2sleep now and I have 2b up in 6hours. :mad:

Sharp

Mad stab in the dark ?


Sleeping beauty??

fade2black

Nope.

I don't want to give another clue cause I know somebody will click it. Remember, this one is not cryptic. Look away from the picture, look back at it, and see if you recognise anything from a movie you may have seen (in the 80s) Ok i gave another clue...

Ghostbusters?

Raggydolls the movie!!

6th

If not The Others ... then The Village?

monkeyfudge

This photo is reminiscent of one particular scene in the film.

fade2black

I'm saying The Patriot...but I'm not sure why....

6th

Is it Dolls?

monkeyfudge

This film was based on a comic book.

6th

Thunderbirds or Team America?

6th

V for Vendetta?

monkeyfudge

It's not that recent... made in the 60's.

6th

Damn I'll have to sleep on it - exhausted!

6th

Just as I'm about to log out ... TWILIGHT ZONE!?

monkeyfudge

It's actually possibly one of the most definitive 60's movies ever made.

c - 13

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Little Women (you may proceed with your flaming) ?

EDIT : Just thought there - could it be Valley of the dolls ? Seems more likely that little women.

fade2black

Come on Monkey boy...

monkeyfudge

Valley of the Dolls is the right decade anyway.

A famous pop group are named after a character in this film.

6th

I've given up on this one ... damn you monkey yu movie buff!

monkeyfudge

It's based on a French comic book.. and it's science fiction.

fade2black

Barbarella???...eh no that's wrong....

Pighead

Has it something got to do with the French Legend Asterix?

No. No... that's right.

Remember the scene where she is attacked by evil dolls? It was also vaguely arousing as they ripped into her clothes.

fade2black

haha...I have to admit, that scene slipped my mind. It was more the clues that helped me. Damn it. Good one though.

Next!!

Pighead

Bugger. Foiled again.
What was the name of the pop group named after one of the characters that you gave as a clue?

Pighead

Gonna be cheeky and throw one out even though I didn't get the last one right.

Duran Duran are named after the character Durand Durand who was played by Milo O'Shea.

Is it Evil Dead, Pighead?

Yes very good. Was thinking of Evil Dead 2 but I think the evil hand could be in the 1st one as well. Have a feeling Monkeyfudge is gonna be a tough nut to crack!

Interesting bout Duran Duran. Never realised they were named after that character. Did they have a song called Barbarella as well?

6th

Ok well i got the first one right so here goes!

monkeyfudge

No, I was wrong... It was Evil Dead 2.... it's a completely different movie with completely different Evil Dead.

Some info on Duran Duran

wikipedia wrote:

The band Duran Duran takes its name from Dr. Durand Durand (O'Shea), a mad scientist who appears in the film as one of the villains. O'Shea repaid the compliment by appearing (as an older version of Durand Durand) in Arena, the band's 1985 concert film. Some of the band's early appearances were at a nightclub called Barbarella's, in their home town of Birmingham, England. The band continued the homage to its roots with their 1997 US single, "Electric Barbarella" (released in the UK in 1998). The band has continually used sound clips from the film in their songs, most notably 1989's "Burning The Ground" and the remixes for 1990's "Violence Of Summer".
