He did not.

 

Your turn.

[Stonewolf]

My turn 

 

Ok these are genre movies and quite old, depending on what you love either really obscure or a breeze

 

Easy - the best horror movie ever

 

 

 

Hard - the best martial arts movie ever made (which should make it easy and is a bold statement but if you disagree it's likely because you haven't seen it or are loyal to a favourite - which is fair enough heh)

 

I'm an idiot if these are too obscure

OK too obscure and in danger of bringing the game to a shuddering halt

 

Let's try again with better judgement

 

Easy

 

Harder

 

Again sticking to the much loved but a bit more widely regarded

You can as well give some clue for your previous movies, if no one was able to guess.

 

Anyway, as the second one isn't so hard for someone who watch French movies, I'll try to fetch some points:

 

The easy one (not so sure, but I'll try), may be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), by Milos Forman.

 

The hard one, easier for me, is The Professional or Léon: the professional (1994), directed by Luc Besson.

 

Just curious: what were the movies you showed us in your previous post? It didn't ring a bell for me.

Gah....  I'm putting up a Jean Reno film as a hard ask on an anglo-french forum     hahahahaha

 

Yup you're spot on with One Flew Over, such a great movie and not easy to find a still without Jack in the middle of it heh

 

You're spot on with The Professional or Léon: the professional, in the UK I remember it as just being titled Leon for a third option. Remarkable for it's performances it's a gloriously haunting, sparkling piece. Besson's best for me.

 

The first of my earlier offerings was Mr Vampire (1985), don't be fooled by the plot synopsis it's one of the funniest movies you'll see, the physical comedy is awesome

The harder one is still my nomination for the best ever martial arts movie, it also features the genius Ching-Ying Lam but this time Sammo Hung did his best fight choreography work, it's The Prodigal Son (1981).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085211/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_92

 

I guess the age and the genres made them way too obscure but they are hugely famous movies and way more memorable to me I guess heh

 

Congrats NQD, full points and it's over to you!

I must see this Mr Vampire movie. Sounds great!

 

My two movies to guess:

 

Easy one:

 

Difficult one:

[Footballzs]

Difficult is Rocky Horror Picture Show. Easy I think is Reservoir Dogs.

[Not Quite Dead]

You're right about the difficult one.

 

The easy one was Casino Royale (2006), the 21th James Bond directed by Martin Campbell.

 

Your turn!

[Stonewolf]

NQD Mr Vampire is awesome, not so the sequels tho heh

 

I too got Rocky Horror straight away - tells you something of my mental processes, struggled with the easy one till I realised it was Daniel Craig

Ok back to me then.

 

Easy

Hard

 

Two very different takes on Japanese culture.

Edited September 16, 2017 by Footballzs

[Not Quite Dead]

The first one is very likely The Last Samurai (2003).

 

For the hard one, I have no idea, but I'd rule out any of the Zatoichi movies, and it doesn't seem to be one of the Kurosawa chambara movies... so... Wakarimasen.

[Footballzs]

The Last Samurai it is. The other was the One Armed Swordsman. Has a scene one could never forget when the hero hops along on two fingers and then kills everyone on a bridge, awesome.

[Not Quite Dead]

Here are my two movies:

 

Hint: neither of them is Fire, walk with me.

 

Easy:

 

Difficult:

[Footballzs]

Hard is Fahrenheit 451. Don't know easy. Weird that's the second time I got the hard but didn't know the easy.

[Not Quite Dead]

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.

[Footballzs]

Ok, me again.

 

Easy

 

Hard

 

Edited September 17, 2017 by Footballzs

[Not Quite Dead]

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.

[Footballzs]

Lucas made THX as a kind of test on his abilities to make movies. Logan's Run was...well...very ordinary.

 

Anyway NQD over to you.

[Not Quite Dead]

Here I go:

 

Easy movie:

 

Difficult movie:

 

Or maybe it's the other way around. With Footballzs, it's sometimes hard to say. :P

[Footballzs]

Time Bandits and Freaks.

[Bawon Samdi]

the easy one is Willow (by Ron Howard) but you are probably right about Freaks.

[Footballzs]

You are right, it is Willow. Once again it appears I am better at the hard movies than the easy ones!

[Not Quite Dead]

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

[Footballzs]

 

Easy

 

Hard

The easy one is from the film, Jabberwocky

Hard one is the film, Reptilicus
