6 is indeed (deep breath) National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1.
Well deduced.

Is 2 House of Flying Daggers and 8 Wings of Desire ?

delbertgrady

Neither, I'm afraid, but you're (sort of) on the right path for number 8, in as much that it's is not an old film, but from the last decade... and - as it happens - it's set in the same city as Wings of Desire.

Despite the Nixon mask, it's not Point Break.

1. Little big man

delbertgrady

1 is Little Big Man. Well done.

delbertgrady

I forgot this was left over from my previous batch.

It's a Korean film based on an 18th century French novel, which itself has had numerous other stage and film adaptations, including a well-known "Hollywood" version in the late 1990s.

It is The Ice Storm. Well done.

Despite the similar lighting and the general overall appearance, it's not Barry Lyndon. It was released several years after the Kubrick film.

Is 2. Bram's Stoker's Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola)?

delbertgrady

Yes, it's Anthony Hopkins in the pre-title sequence of "Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula". Well done.

Jaysus lads, all of those are a bit too hard. I might just dial it down a notch.

Apologies. I've actually put up stills from three films featuring Jim Carrey over the course of this thread, if that compensates in any way.
It's difficult to predict what other people will know, especially as what might be obvious to one person might be totally obscure to another, which - in some ways - is probably the whole idea. I once put up ten screenshots, and the first reply to my post got seven of them right, so it's hard to get the balance right.

Haha. No worries. I'm really enjoying it anyway. I don't know any of the answers, but I've been turned onto some great movies as a result of it. Also, I used to fancy myself as a bit of a movie buff. But this thread put an end to that. I guess we all need to be taken down a peg or two.

Incidentally, the Korean movie you mentioned above has me really intrigued. I even went on a Google hunt earlier today, in a desperate attempt to impress you. But no such luck. I've been dipping in an out of some French novels from that era, and I also enjoy Korean cinema. So it's the perfect match. If nobody gets the correct answer would you mind PM me the answer. I'm determined to see the film. And I promise not to reveal the answer.
