[Game] What is the title of these movies?

[Not Quite Dead]

Here's a little game for you, fellow Aquilonian/Corinthian/Gotham citizen!

 

Rules:

- Propose two screenshots of different movies, one of a movie that is quite easy to recognize, one of a movie that you find hard to identify.

- The first to give a good answer can post two other screenshots, with the same rules. If they recognizes the 'easy' movie, they scores 1 point; if they recognizes the 'difficult' movie, they scores 3 points; if they recognizes both movies, they scores 5 points. Please wait for the previous player to validate your answer before posting your screenshots (you could be mistaken).

- Nota Bene: Searching the image through a search engine, is, obviously forbidden, as it kills the fun. But the players may search the movie through search engines using the additional clues that could be given if the other players can't recognize the movie by the screenshot only.

 

Hall of fame:

@Not Quite Dead - 31 points

@Bawon Samdi - 23 points

@Stonewolf - 16 points

@Kathulos - 15 points

@Mekhlis - 5 points

Update of the rules, thanks to Bawon Samdi's input.

[Not Quite Dead]

I start:

 

Easy movie:

 

Difficult movie:

 

It's your move!

[Barbi]

Arf, I'm useless at that :( with my 2 movies watched per year ...

[Mr Lee]

Easy movie - Neverending Story

Difficult Movie - Pans Labyrinthine?

[Not Quite Dead]

Nope and nope (but I can see why you thought it was Pan's Labyrinth, it was a nice try. :) ).

 

A clue for each movie:

 

Easy movie: that picture comes from the prologue of the movie. Once grown up, the character on the right is played by Arnold Schwartzenegger.

 

Difficult movie: it's an horror movie starring Tim Robbins.

[Barbi]

Easy: Conan ?

Difficult, a good horror movie: Flashdance ! ok , I'm out ...

[Bawon Samdi]

Conan the barbarian 

Jacob's Ladder 

[Not Quite Dead]

You were close, @Barbi, even with two movies each year!

 

I'll give the point to @Bawon Samdi, as he gave me the complete title (yeah, I'm a nitpicker).

Bawon Samdi, you were right about both movies. Well played! It's your turn to upload two screenshots!

[Bawon Samdi]

I really love Jacob's Ladder. I saw it several years ago and it became a cult classic for me.

 

Well, that's not simple to know what's easy and what is not. For now, I will stick to UK/US movies and delve into arcane foreign movies another time.

 

The easy one:

 

The hard one:

 

[Bawon Samdi]

the issue with pics is that it's really easy to find where they come from thnks to google image ...

[Not Quite Dead]

Yep. But that's kinda like cheating, isn't it?

[Bawon Samdi]

I would rather say "unfair" since there is no rules that explecitly forbid it (it would be impossible to enforce anyway).

But that's just something i thought was worth mentioning, don't put to much thoughts into it. Let's play.

 

I'll drop the first hint tomorrow morning !

[Not Quite Dead]

For the easy one: City Lights?

 

Spoiler

Just kidding. I'm quite sure I have seen this.. but I can't remember in which movie...

 

Let's see... A city in the night... An eye watching it. Doesn't seem to be one of the Batman movies... So I'd say:

 

Bringing out the dead? by Scorsese? (Not sure about that at all.)

 

No idea for the hard one so far.

[Bawon Samdi]

Nope.

OK, here is the hint: the same composer did both orginal (and very iconic) scores. Actually, the score of the difficult movie is probably better known that the movie itself.

[Bawon Samdi]

Damn, I've lost everybody.

OK new clue: the sequel of the easy movie will hit theaters in few months

[Not Quite Dead]

Hah! I got it!

 

Easy Movie: Blade Runner (1982)

 

Difficult Movie: Chariots of Fire (1981)

 

Once I found the easy one, the difficult was easy with your clue, although I haven't seen it. Is it good?

[Bawon Samdi]

Both correct.

Chariots of Fire is surprisingly good. I mean, i'm not really attracted by movies about running but it's much more thant that. It's also about class warfare, antisemitism, religion, ... And the running scene are very well directed. They remind me of the boat race in Social Network with their contrast between a traditional race and electronic music.

 

Your turn.

[Not Quite Dead]

Easy movie:

 

Difficult movie:

[Bawon Samdi]

The thing ?

 

No idea for the difficult one

[Not Quite Dead]

Yep!

 

Your turn!

 

The other one was The Boston Strangler (1968).

Sorry: maybe that rule wasn't clear: the round stops with the first good answer, regardless of the number of movies found.

[Bawon Samdi]

OK.

 

Easy one

 

Difficult one:

[Not Quite Dead]

No ideas for both movies... Hopefully someone will identify them (a fourth player would be nice).

 

Any clue?

[Bawon Samdi]

I was actually waiting to see if someone would join. Let's ry with a clue.

 

For the easy movie:

the picture is the monster's POV

 

For the difficult movie:

the main character that you can see on the picture is played by James Stewart.
