The Film Quiz Thread

[Eldritch]

Right, you know the deal: guess the film the image is from. The first one to get it right gets to go next, and also gets a rep point.

And remember, no cheating by looking at the name of the image file. :no:

Okay, something fairly easy to start with:

[nisse]

"Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring"?

[Eldritch]

Correct! :thumbs up

Your turn now.

[nisse]

Coming up with a movie to ask about is hard!

This one should be easy too:

Abre los ojos (1997)

That's right :thumb001:

Can we have a hint please?

[Lars]

Hint: Fish heads.

Let's make it very easy.

Two more hints: zipperhead and swamp rats.

I have to admit I have no idea, although I like war films as much as the next guy.

The soldier in front has an American uniform, but looks very Slavic (possibly Russian) to me. :confused:

[Svanhild]

Guess we could need a hint! :wink

[Beorn]

Sorry, I completely forgot about this thread. :D

Clue: It is based around a very famous Irish...manuscript.

[Vrijbuiter]

The Secret of Kells.

And god knows why there are a "Brother Tang" and a "Brother Assoua" in it. I'm pretty sure that by the 9th century there were no black or asian monks in Ireland... :rolleyes2:

[Vrijbuiter]

Anyway... Famous movie, so an odd shot for now. If that's too hard I'll post another shot with visible characters.

:icon_cheesygrin:

Another angle
http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6118/vlcsnap2010072800h08m03.jpg
Clue : the soundtrack at this point is the overture of a famous opera by Wagner.

[Vrijbuiter]

Okay, perhaps I thought it was easy because it's one of my favourite scenes in one of my favourite movies...

If nobody gets it with this pic, then nobody here has seen it. And the final clue : you hear a lot of Wagner's music in this movie.

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/7144/vlcsnap2010072800h09m16.jpg

[Eldritch]

Damn, it looks familiar, but .... :shrug:

[Vrijbuiter]

Oh, come on ! ;)

What if I tell you that this Wagner piece you hear when the guy enters the castle is the overture from Parsifal. Parsifal, think about it.

[Eldritch]

Öööh ... Excalibur ??

[Vrijbuiter]

AT LAST ! :D

"You and the land are one, now drink !"

Fine ! Your turn, now ;)

[Eldritch]

Right, how about this one:

[Vrijbuiter]

I'll be damned if it's not Dustin Hoffmann... Midnight Cowboy ?

[Eldritch]

I'll be damned if it's not Dustin Hoffmann... Midnight Cowboy ?

Correct -- rather removed from the typical imagery in that film. Well done!

Your turn again.

[Vrijbuiter]

Okay...

http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/127/66113929.jpg

Where does this come from ?

Saddest scene of the movie by the way... Children usually cry their eyes out at this point.

Suspiria by Dario Argento, one of my favourits, this is the scene after the worms were falling out the ceiling of the Dance Academy

[Sally]

Suspiria is the correct answer! Argento is one of my favourites.

[Germanicus]

^Toshirō Mifune in the film "The seven Samuraii"

Toshiro Mifune achieved more worldwide fame than any other Japanese actor of his century. He was born in Tsingtao, China, to Japanese parents and grew up in Dalian. He did not set foot in Japan until he was 21. His father was an importer and a commercial photographer, and young Toshiro worked in his father's studio for a time after graduating from Dalian Middle School.

Who is this actor in character?

http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n449/ruffusruffcut/GEOSAN.jpg

[Eldritch]

Hmm, it seems we're stuck. Hint time!

[Turkophagos]

Hmm, it seems we're stuck. Hint time!

He was wrong anyway, the Japanese film was Rashomon, not the seven samurais.

La Grande Illusion (Grand Illusion), darling. Now get your knickers untwisted! :D



Grand Illusion (French: La Grande Illusion) is a 1937 French war film directed by Jean Renoir, who co-wrote the screenplay with Charles Spaak. The story concerns class relationships among a small group of French officers who are prisoners of war during World War I and are plotting an escape.

The title of the film comes from a book—The Great Illusion by British economist Norman Angell—which argued that war is futile because of the common economic interests of all European nations. The perspective of the film is generously humanistic to its characters of various nationalities.

It is regarded by critics and film historians as one of the masterpieces of French cinema[3] and among the greatest films ever made. Orson Welles named Grand Illusion as one of the movies he would take with him "on the ark."


I was about to buy a one-way ticket to Somalia but then decided that Mister Google was my friend. :P

[Aemma]

This has been dormant long enough I can interject with an easy side question. From which film is my current avatar drawn, who is the actor, and who is the character?

La Grande Illusion; Erich von Stroheim; Von Rauffenstein.
