Name That Film [take 2]

[Lazarus]

I know this movie. I've seen it before.
damn THC always clogging up the memory banks

[ChowYunFat]

Master & Commander

[Lazarus]

Yeah... Looks like Master and Commander. the kid has his arm missing, and is taking notes on animals. If only I had gotten there first... I still wouldn't have any pics to post.

[littlek]

Master and Commander???? Never heard of it so I still think it is a Godzilla movie.

[Gumdrop]

Nice going ChowYunFat. You're up.

Littlek - Lay off the 'shrooms lass!

[ChowYunFat]

OK, have a try at this one:

[littlek]

busted

[ChowYunFat]

No, littlek, not Busted. C'mon, someone must know this one!!

[Lazarus]

*hint*

[ChowYunFat]

OK, here are some hints.

This is an important scene from a well-known movie by a famous director. At least three of the actors are also very well-known, especially the guy in the screen shot, who is one of the top actors of the last 20-30 years. Give yourself a good kick if you don't recognize him!!

I chose this particular shot because I thought there were enough clues in the picture that you might be able to figure out which film it was even if you had never actually seen it!!

[Gumdrop]

The Graduate?

[Lazarus]

ummm. I'm sorry, that hint doesn't do it for me. No facts to bite into... just opinions.

sorry. didn't mean to throw snot all over the place.
How about a date, or name, or genre... or a tissue.

Laz wipes nose

[ChowYunFat]

The Graduate is wrong--but you're on the right track, Gummie.

Here are some more hints:
1) It's from the 1970's which, to me, was one of the golden eras of filmmaking.
2) In common with the film I had previously posted, "Island of Lost Souls", this movie was quite controversial & was banned in various places when it was released. Unlike "Island", which is now generally regarded as a classic, this film remains controversial to this day--apparently it was only recently aired on British TV for the first time since its release.
3) The actor in the photo is not holding a golf club.
4) The director was once the subject of a spoof on Monty Python.

[ChowYunFat]

Still no guesses all day? I'm sorry to have picked another obscure movie--I thought people would recognize it pretty easily. If I get to do this again, I promise to limit myself to films that have won an Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, or Best Actor/Actress.

Here's another hint:
In addition to the actor in the photo, the film also featured Susan George & David Warner (although the latter had an important role, he wasn't listed in the credits).
Also, I watched the episode of Monty Python I mentioned in my last post. Eric Idle actually mentions this film during the show!

If nobody gets it by the time I go to bed tonight, I'll declare Gumdrop the winner because he had the closest near miss!

Straw Dogs (1971)

have to admit, I did google a bit

[ChowYunFat]

You got it, bravus! Am I the only one here who's seen this movie?

[Eshaktaar]

Well, at least I don't have to be embarrassed that I didn't recognize this one; I've never even heard of that movie (but then, maybe I have... if I did see that Monty Python episode you mentioned ).

[ChowYunFat]

It was the episode with the skit where John Cleese goes into the cheese shop & tries to buy some cheese. The skit turns out to have been a movie ("Rogue Cheddar") directed by Sam Peckinpah. They then show a scene from his latest film, "Salad Days".

[bravus]

OK, this one should be pretty easy - but I hope not a one-guess like my last efforts!

[MsLedd]

Hmmm.. that looks like Sam Rockwell, and the only movie I can think of at the moment that fits that scene is Charlie's Angels (?).

[LeatherMan]

Weekend at Bernie's

[bravus]

Yep, Leatherman gets it! OK, your turn.

[LeatherMan]

*\o/*

The last movie pic I posted was much easier to guess than I expected, so hopefully this one will be a little tougher.

This movie was filmed in the '80's:

*COUGHprincessbrideCOUGH*

Gee, that *is* a toughie

(sorry)

[LeatherMan]

geez, it wasn't so tough after all...

You're up MsLedd!
