Not Quite Dead

One idea leading to another, here are two new movies to guess: Easy one: Difficult one:

No idea for the first one, but I'd say that the second movie is Bound by the Wachowski broth... sisters.

Yep, you're right. The easy movie is known in the US as The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi. It was directed in 2003 by Takeshi Kitano, well known for his modern yakuza motion pictures, such as Violent Cop, Sonatine, or Brother. The difficult movie is about the creation of art. The main character (played as usual by Kitano himself) is an unsuccessful painter. It's called Achilles and the Tortoise (2008). Your turn to play!

I'll give you some clues, in order to help you. The first movie is a recent revival about a important character in chambarra (before this movie, 26 motion pictures were produced between 1962 and 1989 telling the adventures of that character). Both movie have the same director.

Going on with Japanese motion pictures: Easy movie: Difficult movie:

With the clue, I was able to understand what was the second movie, even if I haven't seen it. I've watched the trailer, and I think I'll give it a shot. That is, if that movie is Perfect Blue (1997).

Regardless, to ease the way of counting points, I propose that the poster still decides what's easy and difficult for them when they choose two screenshots, so that we can keep the same system of points: one movie with 1 pt, one with 3 pts, and both giving 5 pts. Or do the players wish to change the system, and use instead something like: each movie is worth 2 pts, and guessing both movies gives 5 pts?

And beside, The Monolith Monsters seems to be quite a fitting movie on a forum such as The Overlord. Anyway, @Stonewolf, it's your turn! *getting ready to answer*

Yes it is. Gahjini with Amir Khan. This is something... else. Kinda funny to watch, in my opinion. It's your turn!

So-called easy one: So-called hard one:

The easy one isn't that easy, or is it? I think it is the kinda crappy Robot Monster (1953).

Three points for Footballzs. You were close to get points, Bawon! Keep tuned!

Here I go: Easy movie: Difficult movie: Or maybe it's the other way around. With Footballzs, it's sometimes hard to say. :P

I know both of them! The first one is Logan's Run (1976). The second one is THX 1138 (1971). Strange: judging on the movie itself, I suspected Lucas' one to be more recent than Anderson's, but the latter one was made five years after the first one, although it's the more kitsch.

Well done for Truffaut's movie! The easy one is Terminator II: Judgement Day (1991). This is during a daydream of Sarah Conor. A most famous scene that haunted my childhood. You're right to guess the difficult movie rather than the easy one: it gives you more points.
