GAME - Identify the movie from the screnshot
« on: February 15, 2018, 11:58:07 PM »
Hey movie buffs, I am gauging interest in a game I am putting together. I will post screenshots from various movies and you will try to identify the movie. It won't be the type of game where once a movie is guessed correctly in the thread, I will post a new one. I will take answers via PM for 24-48 hours to account for work schedules and time zones, then post the results for that round.

Any interest?

Sure. Assuming it's not just generic screen shots from obscure movies.

Great, here we go with Round 1!

All these movies are well-known, and are critically highly regarded, popular among viewers, or both. I tried to pick screenshots that are unique and emblematic of the movie somehow, and in some way possess a special cinematographic quality. My goal isn’t to stump you. It might take a couple rounds for me to adjust the difficulty.

Remember, do not post your answers in the thread. Send them to me via PM so everyone can get a chance. Results will be posted around 12p Pacific February 18.

Didn't know any of them, cheated and searched images, and I maybe should have had one of them.

Following, but none of those are jumping out at me.  I feel I should know 1 and 4, but drawing blanks on all of them regardless.

Anyone who doesn't instantly recognize #3 isn't my friend.

I don't know the rest though.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

#2 is the only one I know, if I didn't recognize that one instantly I would hate myself because that's my favourite movie :lol

Only a couple submissions, but:

Phoenix87x: 3 out of 4
Train of Naught: 1 out of 4
BlobVanDam will get credit for 1.

1 Lawrence of Arabia: Lawrence sees Omar Sharif coming from the distance. Don't fuck with Omar Sharif's well. If David Lean only made this, River Kwai, and Dr. Zhivago, he still would have had a damn impressive resume.

2 Memento: Leonard goes through his notes, forever looking for clues to a mystery he'll never solve.

3 Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan: Chekov has a very unpleasant revelation (EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T SERVING ON THE ENTERPRISE AT THE TIME!!!). Note that Khan quotes from Moby Dick, one of the books on the shelf, later in the movie.

4 The Usual Suspects: The charred remains of someone from the boat explosion, Keaton perhaps?

I immediately thought Carrie and never considered it again. I got Unforgiven. I was thinking The Searchers, though I couldn't place any of the characters (you can recognize John Wayne simply by his stance).
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.
