Title: Name That Movie!
Post by: burningdoom on April 30, 2013, 11:32:58 pm
So this thread is the "Name That Movie" thread.

You post a pic, and other members try to guess what movie it's from. Whoever gets it right, gets to post the next one.

No cheating (you know what I mean, no peaking at the source), because then it's not fun, and what's the point then?

WOLFMAN'S GOT NARDS!

Monster Squad! Also, your filename gave it away. (I didn't cheat!)

Um, that's exactly what I meant by cheating. Don't look at the filename because that's gonna give it away nearly every time. You can't see if you don't right-click it, right?

... I checked AFTER I saw the photo and figured out the movie. Jeez. :P

Post by: sin2beta on May 01, 2013, 01:19:20 pm
I don't see the file name unless if I right click. So, I think it should be safe. Now that the movie has been named, I will admit to cheating once I didn't know what this was. Obviously took myself out of the game though. Never even heard of that movie. Wouldn't have guessed it.

I'm not gonna lie I cheated but I wasn't gonna name it. I was gonna let someone come along that had seen it to play fair... well since there was some cheating and naming and ruining ;) who goes now? Burningdoom again?

Oh man, I thought that was what it was. But haven't seen it in years, so I wasn't positive.

We can just pick up where we are, but Foxhack didn't cheat. He even provided a quote from the movie.

No big deal, we can pick it up where we left off like you said. But he did say "the filename gave it away". Not sure how that isn't cheating...

No... doesn't look like Scott Bakula to me. Although thee are some shared facial features.

But Scott Bakula's career started in the 90s. That film grain looks older...? I don't know.... Parts of the film grain look older, other parts don't. May just be effect.

1989 - 1993.

But yeah he definitely started in the 1980s. When looking at IMDB earlier, I looked at it wrong or something. I don't even know.

OK, so the film stock is not from the 70s, its just British,  ;D kidding of course.

I'm not familiar with his work so I'm out on this one.

Ralph Fiennes in leather pants. Who knew.
Title: Re: Name That Movie!
Post by: burningdoom on May 04, 2013, 01:16:33 pm
Well, seems no one knows this off-hand. So lets try and break this down a little more.

Wherever this is taking place, it looks damn hot. There's aluminum foil on the windows, which is usually for reflecting the sunlight to reduce heat. And it looks like the dude is sweating, A LOT. So maybe the film takes place in a desert?

There's also what appears to be an empty whiskey or vodka bottle on the nightstand. So he's probably drunk, too?

Can the poster confirm these questions for me? Is anything like that ringing any bells for anyone?

It does not take place in a desert.  Here's two more from the same movie.
