[Game] What is the title of these movies?

[Stonewolf]

Memento 
and the bollywood remake of the same premise?

 

sorry no idea of the title

Yes it is. Gahjini with Amir Khan. This is something... else. Kinda funny to watch, in my opinion.

 

It's your turn!

[Stonewolf]

Actually I vaguely knew about the movie because one of the actresses is a stunner, guessed it was the one because of the tattoes and had no other ideas for what it might be ;0)

Never heard of it but that's mostly the point

If you get a chance watch it. Acting is average but surprisingly effective given the unusual premise. Crystals that land on earth via a meteorite start growing after contact with water.

[Not Quite Dead]

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*

[Stonewolf]

Sorry for the delay, son cut his hand - emergency room in a holiday town is always packed

He's fine now

Easy

 

Hard

 

Again both very favourite movies

 

[Bawon Samdi]

Abyss & Near Dark

 

Didn't know about the second one, I had to search through Henriksen's filmography. I then realized that it was Bill Paxton on the picture. Game over man. Game over.

Spot on, you're up!

[Bawon Samdi]

You have considerably challenged by idea of what's easy and what's difficult, so, in no particular order:

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?

Edited September 20, 2017 by Not Quite Dead

[Bawon Samdi]

We can keep the same system. It's just that it's so subjective that sometime I have a hard time deciding if one movie will be easy or hard to guess.

[Stonewolf]

Yep, the system is fine, movie appreciation is so subjective it defies quantification and poster decides is just right I think

 

And I haven't the beginnings of a clue on these two unless the bottom one is the BFG?

Edited September 20, 2017 by Stonewolf

[Bawon Samdi]

See ? I was quite confindent that both movies will be easy to guess. Clue time !

 

(1) is a scifi animated movie adapted from a TV serie

 

Aronofsky has been ... ahem ... "highly influenced" by (2)

[Not Quite Dead]

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).

[Footballzs]

Never heard of it.

Yes. That's the one. An amazing movie by Kon Satoshi. I warmly recommand this video if anyone want to know more about this director style:

 

The first movie is Macross: Do You Remember Love ?

[Not Quite Dead]

Going on with Japanese motion pictures:

 

Easy movie:

 

Difficult movie:

[Not Quite Dead]

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.

[Bawon Samdi]

I don't know many chambarra character so i went for Zatoichi. After a quick search on google for Zatoichi + geisha i've found that it could be " Blind Swordsman Zatoichi ". Didn't see it so i'm not sure.

 

Edited September 25, 2017 by Bawon Samdi

[Not Quite Dead]

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!

 

[Bawon Samdi]

Wow. I actually saw that Kitano's Zaitoichi but totally forgot about this scene on the picture you have chosen (well, it was 20 years ago ...) and it was just callad Zaitoichi for its french release.

And i really should have taken a closer look to the picture I would have recognized Kitano on the second one. Shame on me.

My favorite Kitano's movie is Hana Bi which includes a lot of paintings by Kitano himself.

 

Still trying to guess which one is hard, which one is easy:

 

Easy:

 

Hard:

 

[Not Quite Dead]

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

[Footballzs]

The easy one is Rush.
