*Guess the Movie Title*

Eric · Mon 21/10/2013 18:52:47

Ooh, I did like Primer. I haven't seen many recent movies because I have a two-year-old (which means I've seen one movie in theaters in the past year -- Disney's Planes). I'll have to seek this one out. On DVD yet?

CaptainD · Mon 21/10/2013 19:05:15

Heh... also dad of a 2 year old, last movie seen at cinema: Thomas: King of the Mountains!

We rarely seem to get that sort of movie in this thread...

Yeah, Carruth released it on Blu-ray/DVD and online video services back in May (it's doing a limited festival and theatrical run as well). He's moved on from only making a film pretty much single-handedly to now also distributing it himself. Compared to Primer, Upstream Color is not as cryptic and puzzle-y, though it still takes a while to figure out what's going on. It's also beautifully filmed, and more openly emotional. I really enjoyed it (though it's not quite as memorable as his first movie); some have found the long wordless stretches and strange relationship at the center of it off-putting.

As for the latest one... I don't think I know it. Maybe it's a throwback to the beginning of the thread: 1408?

no 1408.

selmiak · Wed 23/10/2013 18:31:20

No more guesses?
I think a lot more people have seen this film than people have seen upstream color.

No film: Return of the Thread Killer?

Ben X · Thu 24/10/2013 12:43:56

Is it The Game? The only movie I can think of off the top of my head that has little keys like that important enough to be a good screengrab! The cinematography, production design and actor look wrong, though.

selmiak · Thu 24/10/2013 16:25:30

moar like Thread winner

It is not The Game, but the captured scene is indeed a key scene...

so here is another screengrab:

Ben X · Thu 24/10/2013 23:50:04

Twelve Monkeys? Memento? Rubber?

And we're back on posting doors and windows and think people will guess the movie...
What's wrong with Claudia Cardinale, Brigite Bardot and the likes?

Maybe you'll be better at curtain spotting if there are pretty ladies in front of them?

I did indeed recognize this door and curtain from PULP FICTION!

Here's a new one for you:

CaptainD · Fri 25/10/2013 08:46:50

LoTR: Return of the King?

Armageddon · Fri 25/10/2013 09:49:35

Tim Pulp Burton Fiction

Retro Wolf · Fri 25/10/2013 11:37:43

Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

EDIT:I've confirmed it!

GUESS THIS:

Eric · Fri 25/10/2013 14:58:58

Can you give us a...hint? I haven't a...idea. Flames, flames down the side of my face.

selmiak · Fri 25/10/2013 15:48:21

Eric, you are a movieman! Respect. Was it too easy for you? It was hard for me to find a frame in pulp fiction that is not immediately recognisable though

Retro Wolf · Fri 25/10/2013 22:45:17

I will say that it's got Michael McKean in it.
It has multiple endings.

Snarky · Sat 26/10/2013 01:09:01

I can never decide whether to take Eric's veiled... hints as the answer, or accept it as him teeing it up for someone else to do the honors.

Is it...
Boddy Runner?

Eric · Sat 26/10/2013 01:26:27

Always take it as teeing up. I always feel guilty answering quickly after taking a turn. But I'm tempted when it's a movie that I love the hell out of, like this one. Or Terror in a Texas Town.

Selmiak -- I just got lucky! My film appreciation students are watching neo-noir films this week, and I just screened Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to see which I preferred to offer on their list of film choices. I went with Reservoir Dogs (and a bunch more, including, yes, Blade Runner!).

Retro Wolf · Sat 26/10/2013 06:01:40

Nope. It involves a dead body.
It also has Tim (spicy dish) in it.
