Poorly describe movies and guess what they are

[SpringCreek]

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

Yes, but Argentum Volpes already got it.

 

[mege]

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. 
   
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)

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.

 

[SpringCreek]

1) Everything in his life is fake. Even the star Sirius.

The Truman Show

 

[mege]

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.

2) Donnie Darko

 

[DaveC426913]

2) Donnie Darko

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]

Splash.

Hehehehehe.

 

[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.

 

[Hells]

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.

Mulholland drive?

Analyze This

4.) Thug demonstrates his enthusiasm for baseball.

Untouchables

"EnTOOZiams!"

6.) Thug introduces his little friend

Scarface

 

[S_Happens]

Analyze This

I would have gone with the famous Joe Pesci scene from Goodfellas instead. I have the same answers for the other three you picked and none of the rest.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Godfather

Analyze This


Untouchables

"EnTOOZiams!"


Scarface

All correct except analyze this which SHappens correctly identified as Goodfellas.

3) Thugs celebrate when kid hold his tongue

is also Goodfellas, which may have confused things.



That leaves:

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

7.) Thug explains things French.

[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.

Only #3 left unanswered.

I gave one hint already: The Germans wore gray. She wore blue.

New hint: She walked into his gin joint.

Would it help if I said it was a beautiful friendship?

 

[Ken Natton]

Hmmm. Are we talking certain colourless residence in Northern Africa? Never seen that one either, but I've been to the city.

That's the one! It's worth seeing.

The colorless residence is Casablanca. I came here for the waters.

Casablanca it is. You were misinformed about the waters. [All the non-Casablanca-seeing people won't get that one. ]

 

[Ken Natton]

A woman of a certain reputation and a manservant? Frankly my dear, I'm driven by air currents.

Seen that one, but longer ago than I care to think.
