Poorly describe movies and guess what they are

For example:

"Skinhead goes to prison"

would be American History X

1. Man erases memory of his ex.
2. Asian kid becomes friends with old white man.

No, I'm afraid Austin Powers is incorrect.

[BobG]

Man is stranded on uninhabited island with his best friend, a football.

Wow, this really is poorly described. It's impossible for anyone to figure out which movie you're talking about because you inserted the wrong type of ball. It was a volleyball.

 

[micromass]

Find the common theme:

Girl leaves her employer and decides to get married. Employer is not amused and starts killing everybody. Girl takes revenge.

A couple of soldiers are dropped in enemy territory and start commiting war crimes by torturing and mutilating unarmed enemy soldiers. Also features a girl that burns down her cinema complex and kills an entire host of top politicians that way.

Hitman likes to kill people after citing bible verses.

A gang of criminals with colourful names rob bank and end up killing each other.

 

[micromass]

Again some movies with a common theme:

Army leader takes it up against the english king. Gets captured. Torture scenes.

Jewish boy thinks he's the son of God. Torture scenes.

End of the Mayans. Torture scenes.

Quentin Tarantino is awesome. Pulp Fiction is in my top 10 movies of all time.

[micromass]

Armaggedon

All correct except the last one.

 

[BobG]

Armaggedon
A Beautiful Mind
Good Will Hunting
Se7en
6th Sense
All Quiet on the Western Front

I think the last one is wrong. It's "Avatar".

Yup. That was the easiest.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

...10.) boxing

Rocky, Raging Bull or The Hammer

1). Baldwin brother with a big gun
2). Same actor plays a president, foreign officer, and a crazed scientist
3). He rode a bomb and is now riding a horse
4). 80's action actors
5). Was going to save Orion, not so much
6). Japaneses version of Shadowrun
7). Here is my Flair!
8). Too good in the big city, man this small town is messed up

6. L.A. Confidential
7. Se7en
8. Inglorius Basterds
9. Could be many...
10. (see 9)

Very good, except for not getting 5, which is Men In Black. 6 to 10 are described so sparsly that several different movies could be offered and be correct.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Jaws.



MIB

Correct.

 

[stevebd1]

Mathematician goes crazy and thinks the FBI is chasing him (OK, this described every mathematician alive, but only one movie)

Pi.

5. It's people

Soylent Green.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Correct. Ali, and Requiem for a Heavyweight are other possible correct answers that occur to me.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Movie 1) Moron becomes friends with a mouse
Movie 2) Moron is murdered by his best friend

Both (badly)describe the movie version of Of Mice and Men, and, The Green Mile.
