Poorly describe movies and guess what they are

[BobG]

8) The non-animated adventures of a talking-K9 and a person

A Boy and His Dog

 

[DaveC426913]

An uplifting story about a disabled guy who wanders through the desert and finds an arm.

Spoiler

127 hours - watched backwards

 

[DR13]

2. Dirty Harry
3. ET
6. Gladiator

Yes
Yes
No (the clue is a hint to a famous quote)

 

[SpringCreek]

1. Moron runs. Changes lives.

2. He slaps soldier. Then battles bulge.

3. Broken-hearted nightclub owner gets second chance at love. Chooses friendship instead.

4. Two old friends fight and fish a lot. More of same in sequel.

5. Lawyer's betrayed client gets education and tattoos in prison. Seeks revenge via dog poisoning, piano wire, boat mayhem, etc.

I just watched #5 and it is quite intense. Great acting and directing.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back.

 

[SpringCreek]

No (the clue is a hint to a famous quote)

Ancient Roman clothing...toga? Animal House?

 

[SpringCreek]

Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back.

I think I've seen that one. Is it the one where the boy loses the girl because of a misunderstanding?

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

4. The Expendables

Yes, but I can't think of a good quote to go with this movie.

8. Footloose

Nope, wrong decade, both when the movie takes place and filmed, and wrong continent where it takes place.

1. Moron runs. Changes lives.

2. He slaps soldier. Then battles bulge.

3. Broken-hearted nightclub owner gets second chance at love. Chooses friendship instead.

1). Forest Gump

4). Grumpy old men, Grumpier old men (the sequel)

5). Double Jeopardy

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

An interesting side for this thread.

A song/music video about a piece of stage equipment.

 

[Willowz]

A man falls and tells a long story to a girl who also fell.

 

[mege]

I think most to this point have been answered correctly...


I have a few:

1) A boy enjoys violence, then is forced to watch it.
A Clockwork Orange
2) The golden record holder comes looking for daddy.

3) A deaf, dumb and blind kid is good at pinball.
Tommy
4) A musician gets revenge for his death.

5) A guy almost breaks his parents up before he's concieved.
Back to the Future
6) An assassin gains the emperor's trust by eliminating the other assassins.

7) A riverboat ride into the heart of darkness.
Apocalypse Now!
8) The non-animated adventures of a talking-K9 and a person.
A Boy and His Dog
9) Batman discovers feelings.

I filled in the correct ones. 6 and 9 I figured were a little harder - but I thought 2 and 4 would be pretty easy!

Some hints (decade the year was released):

2a) 1970s
4a) 1990s
6a) 2000s
9a) 2000s

 

[Ken Natton]

Okay, a description for which untold number of films could apply:

Any resemblance to the actual historical events is purely coincidental.

2) Patton
3) Cocktail

 

[Ken Natton]

1. Moron runs. Changes lives.

I'm thinking Forrest Gump. And get this. I've never seen the film.

 

[zoobyshoe]

First one might be a little obscure, since the movie's pretty old (late 60's). The book was more famous. He even gave the mouse flowers.

Flowers for Algernon?

 

[zoobyshoe]

.5. Lawyer's betrayed client gets education and tattoos in prison. Seeks revenge via dog poisoning, piano wire, boat mayhem, etc.

Cape Fear?

 

[MATLABdude]

How about this?

1. Guy with ADD gets TV station (step 2:?, step 3: profit!) and resorts to PBS-esque tactics to keep it on the air in the face of adversity.
   

2. Is this the real life?
   Is this just fantasy?
   Caught in a landslide,
   No escape from reality...

3. A boy and his whale

Okay, so 2 and 3 are probably degenerate...

Spoiler

1. Weird Al's UHF
2. The Matrix trilogy (or Inception)
3. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (or Free Willy)

 

[SpringCreek]

1). Forest Gump

4). Grumpy old men, Grumpier old men (the sequel)

5). Double Jeopardy

1. Yes
4. Yes & Yes
5. No

 

[TurtleMeister]

My three movies were popular, so I guess my clues were too difficult. This should help a lot:

1) Everything in his life is fake. Even the star Sirius.
2) Don't watch this movie if you have leporiphobia.
3) Amnesiac has lesbian affair.

 

[SpringCreek]

2) Patton
3) Cocktail

2. Yes. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. [Patton quote]
3. No. Hint: The Germans wore gray. She wore blue.

 

[SpringCreek]

I'm thinking Forrest Gump. And get this. I've never seen the film.

Yes, but Argentum Volpes already got it.

Shouldn't 3 be more like a girl and her whale? :p

 

[SpringCreek]

Cape Fear?

Bingo! De Niro and Scorsese.

 

[Ken Natton]

Yes, but Argentum Volpes already got it.

Apologies to Argentum Volpes.

Or Wallace & Grommit.

 

[TurtleMeister]

The Truman Show

correct

2) Donnie Darko

correct

Or Wallace & Grommit.

I haven't seen that one.

Only one left:

3)A cowboy tells a movie [strike]producer[/strike] director who he must choose to play a leading role. Amnesiac has lesbian affair.

 

[mege]

Or Wallace & Grommit.

My original thought - with just his second clue, was Alice in Wonderland!

 

[DR13]

Ancient Roman clothing...toga? Animal House?

Got it

 

[zoobyshoe]

4) A musician gets revenge for his death.

The Crow

 

[Math Is Hard]

With great fish comes great responsibility.

Splash.

 

[zoobyshoe]

[zoobyshoe]

The mob in film. Guess by reference to memorable scenes:

1.) Movie producer sleeps with the horses

2.) Thug wonders what's funny about him.

3) Thugs celebrate when kid hold his tongue

4.) Thug demonstrates his enthusiasm for baseball.

5.) Italian-American success brings gift of olive oil to Sicilian thug.

6.) Thug introduces his little friend

7.) Thug explains things French.
