Poorly describe movies and guess what they are

[DaveC426913]

I think an overly brief or vague description can be considered a poor description as well. If a description is funny too, that's a bonus!
</metadiscussion>

But the humour only comes in the payoff - when you go 'murderous little girl? Oh! Dorothy! Haha yeah.'

To me, this is more like regular trivia. Which is OK too. And I wouldn't have reaised it except for Ken's meta comment about the thread.

 

[Jimmy]

I hear ya, brother.

 

[Math Is Hard]

OK, here are some tough ones...

1) It's a story about snakes on board an airplane.

2) It's a story about the interaction between some cowboys and some aliens.

The answer to #1 is Knight and Day.

Isn't this thread 'your baby'?

No, I wouldn’t have said so. It was started by blade123 who seems to have vanished from it. But clearly he / she started a great thread – it has generated a great deal of interest. My feeling was that part of that was because it was such a fast changing and evolving thread. Initially, I saw myself only as introducing some films of a different style than those that dominated the early pages. But I certainly don’t seek to proscribe where it goes from here, I’m as interested as anyone else to see that and to ride the surf. I was just defending my contribution which seemed to be under criticism, that’s all. Really it’s not important. Let the clues, obscure or otherwise continue.

I got Moonstruck from the county library. It was OK, but I wouldn't say I loved it awful.

ok: super funny interracial... that you'd walk a thousand miles to see.

too easy?!

another one? : cat gets soaking wet, film ends happily.

and another? over-hyped, long-winded black and white that has no plot and no-body gets it so they all say its amazingly funny.

 

[DaveC426913]

Evil Machine kills people.

50% of the science fiction films made since the late 60's.

 

[Andy]

lol, guess I'm good at this game :p

hm hints...

1st film: inter-racial AND inter-sexual! shown literally on the DVD cover.

2nd film: Title: eating where they sell best friends.

3rd film: ok, maybe it was just me who didn't get it. it also had a long-winded title! and if I understood correctly, the main characters were Nazis.

 

[nucleargirl]

sorry Jimmy, not City Lights, though I haven't seen it so wouldn't know if it fits my description.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

2nd film: Title: eating where they sell best friends.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

 

[nucleargirl]

Breakfast at Tiffany's

yes!

 

[nucleargirl]

City Lights?

:) I like that clip. Its smart! and has great accompanying music!

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

yes!

I've never seen the movie, but I'll probably get it from the Library now. Here's the opening credits. I was in Savannah, Georgia a few years back. The tour takes you past Forest Gump's bus stop bench, the theater where Lady Chablis sings, and everything Johnny Mercer. Then, just to dot our i's and cross our rivers, we loaded up the family jalopy and while arguing about which road to take, crossed Moon River. That's a style too I suppose.

[nucleargirl]

:) lol. funny expression you used!
Yeah you should get it! I like it, its one of my favourites!

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I just saw it but didn't like it that much. While it was not a horrible movie, Holly Golightly is no Eliza Doolittle. I have mixed feelings about Mickey Rooney playing a Japanese with the stereotypical jutting teeth. He's a great actor of course, and he did what he could with the part, but since the character never did anything Japanese, he may as well have played a white. Japanese don't take soap into the tub. They wash and rinse outside the tub and enter it clean.

 

[Andy]

You may be good, or i may be rubbish.

yeah, that bit is quite racist. that's the only bad bit for me. I like it cos she's so pretty and charming! and its so heartwarming!

 

[Andy]

Have we given up on the last one?
