Ok, the 24 hour period is up, nobody got it despite my maniacal googling. You got us jedishrfu. So, per the rules of the opening post, the floor is now open. Of course, it is customary and courteous for the last questioner to reveal the movie we did not get, but not required.

My turn:

Clue: Dead man, body bag, outer space, big hoax

The movie was: The Four Feathers from the book by A. E. W. Mason. A young man in the service of the King quits his regiment just before its deployed to the Sudan to marry his fiance and his regimental comrades each give him a white feather of cowardice and his fiance also gives him one. He sets out to redeem his honor, rescue his friends and regain the love of his fiance. Great movie on the British Empire.

if you had typed 'feather mason' into google it would have popped up as the first entry.

What a b&^$%! I would have dumped her like a bad habit. Especially if I had already paid the karaoke host for the reception :-p
 
O.k., no answer coming our way, it seems. Again. It'd help if there were more than just the three of us playing.

Let me try and break the spell by choosing an easy to guess film:

This movie has got everything backwards, including one of Guy's tattoos.

Memento
 
Of course.
Memento is a film about an unusual case of short-term amnesia. The story is presented in reverse chronological order. Starring Guy Pearce.

Your turn, jedishrfu.

Bladerunner?
 
Indeed. Carry on.

(oh, DiracPool, drop us the title of your last film. The bodybag one.)

Wow, seems the party has carried on without me :frown:

Anyway, I thought the "ham radio" clue would have given it away. The movie was "Contact" with Jodie Foster. Near the end of the movie Jodi's financier goes upon the Space Station to ease his cancer but dies, and they show his body bag being zipped up. Then James Wood's talk about how the whole Alien thing was a big hoax. Of course, the movie starts out with Jodi on a ham radio trying to contact her deceased mother.

Damn! I thought of Contact, but couldn't remember any bodybags whatsoever. I still don't to be honest. A rewatch seems to be in order.

Whiteout? The comic is way better than the movie, though.

Correct! Never read the comic but loved the movie. Your turn.
 
Q: The police and a carrot or a dead body? A difficult choice for a photographer.
