*Guess the Movie Title*

[Eric]

Nope and nope!

[Eric]

I'll post another screen when I get home tonight, but here's a convoluted hint in the meantime: It always bothered me that this movie wasn't directed by another director who made popular films for the studio that produced this one, if only because he has pretty much the same name as the author whose book this film is taken from.

[Haggis]

That's the Swiss Family Robinson... with the annoying kid who's like a young Boris Johnson and has a tiger.

[Eric]

Indeed! Haggis has it right. Why would Disney not get Robert Stevenson, director of Old Yeller, Darby O'Gill, Mary Poppins, The Absent-Minded Professor, The Love Bug, and tons more, to direct Swiss Family Robinson based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson?

The only thing that boggles my mind more is Sam Shephard playing Chuck Yager, Scott Glenn playing Alan Shepherd, and Ed Harris playing John Glenn in The Right Stuff.

[Haggis]

Ok, this may be easy for some... one of my favourite films growing up.

[Tramponline]

Ah, indeed. That different kind of western "summit thing", having C.D. Buchinsky in it.

[Haggis]

The very same... go on... bring it home.

[Tramponline]

To be honest, I'd rather let someone else guess that title. Got a slight hangover from yesterday.

But I quite like it, especially that they took a genre and went the other way with it.

[Haggis]

Totally agree with you, I can't remember if I read the original book when I was younger but I think I'll dig it out and revisit it.

Blazing Saddles?

[Haggis]

Blazing Saddles?

Nope, I'll wait till later tonight UK time and if needed post another still.

[Tramponline]

The very same... go on... bring it home.

OK, I'm fairly sober again...
I suppose it's "Breakheart Pass", that scene where they throw the 'stoker that knew too much' out of
the locomotive into that gorge?

edit: I had to suppress the incredible urge to guess something like "Puppetmaster"!!!  

[Haggis]

Haha correct! Underrated movie in my humble opinion, got to love the Bronson.

Masterful piece of puppetry in that scene.

Your turn.

[Tramponline]

OK, here it goes...

That one should inspire at least some insane titles, eh?


edit: An epic classic! One of those, that never seem to grow stale on me. Protagonists or protagonist not in the shot!     

[Kasander]

Passion of the Dentist?

[Tramponline]

HAHAHA! Nice one! Keep it coming...

Awww, man, why do I know that bloody movie! I want to do some guessing too!

...aah, what the heck: "Vinnie Diesel Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

[Baron]

I usually don't have a clue what you guys are guessing at (especially Ponch), but I think this might be "The Man Who Would Be King".

Ponch hasn't made a guess yet, foolish Baron! But he will now! Can you guess what it will be?

Spoiler

Stargate?

[close]

[Tramponline]

WOW! I tried to make that shot as obscure as possible without being unfair. But that didn't seem to bother Baron one bit. Dead on target!



It is indeed "The Man Who Would Be King" (1975), the adventures and misadventures of Daniel Dravot & Peachey Carnehan.
An adaptation of a Rudyard Kippling novella and directed by John Huston.

Your turn, Baron.


@Ponch: It is also 'Stargate' - but only AFTER it is 'The Man Who Would Be King' . 

[Ponch]

Stargate took place in the desert. That is clearly a desert in your picture. I stand by my answer, sir.
