Directors Name That Movie - A Contest (#4) (1 Viewer)

[JohnRice]

I've definitely seen it, but it's not coming to me.

 

[Justin Doring]

I thought there were penalty points for wrong guesses so that's why I didn't offer a guess. Thanks for clearing that up, Rob. Of course I wouldn't have gotten the answer anyway, because Edward Scissorhands was not one of the movies I was thinking of.

 

[Brook K]

Hmm, I love Scissorhands and have seen it a bunch, but that never came to mind. Glad you liked my attempt at humor.

Current shot is easy, but like someone said, they're only easy if you know the answer.

 

[Graeme Clark]

Damn it! Edward Scissorhands was what immediately came to my mind (the stairs give it away), but I forgot to send it in.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

I've seen Edward Scissorhands, but that scene escapes me. Must be when the mom first shows up at the mansion.

I don't think I've seen this one.

 

[Jon_Are]

I know how this sounds, but I'm gonna say it anyway: Edward Scissorhands was the first - and only - film that came to my mind when I saw that shot. I didn't submit it because I don't remember that specific scene and it seemed like such a longshot.

As for the current round: Dunno.

Three bonus points for most amusing answer goes to Jon Are- "A Four-Gun Conclusion". Honorable mention goes to
Evan Case for his answer: - Sanitation Truck Driver.

The most common wrong guess was "The Usual Suspects", with two votes.

[Rain]

Come on now, Rob, this is waaaaaaaaaaay too hard. :rolleyes

:p)

 

[Nick Sievers]

"A Four-Gun Conclusion" I like it.

Reflecting, I have no idea why I guessed Dirty Harry.

This round is far to easy.

 

[Gabe D]

Hmmm, my e-mail apparently gives my (whole) name. I didn't realize.

 

[Evan Case]

Someone want to explain to me how the hell I could have recognized the shot as being very similar to Taxi Driver (hence Sanitation Truck Driver) but not actually realize it's from said film? What in the world is wrong with me??? Arrgh, how did I not connect those 4 exact guns?

I guess I just thought there was only one prominent overhead shot of the guns: when Travis was buying them, where they were on a bed, not whatever it is they're resting on now.

Evan

 

[John Thomas]

Yah, I admit that I should've noticed the specific guns too.

This round is far to easy

Not if you haven't seen the film. Fortunately I have. Now I'm looking for one particular person to stroll into this thread...

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

I guess I just thought there was only one prominent overhead shot of the guns:

I was gonna ask if that was taken from the SE because I couldn't remember the overhead shot either. I recognized the guns and that's what made me think of Taxi Driver. But, if I recall correctly, this was a very quick and brief shot and it didn't stay on the screen for long.

Bruce

 

[Rob Tomlin]

But, if I recall correctly, this was a very quick and brief shot and it didn't stay on the screen for long.

Correct. It was a pan shot, which didn't hold that position for very long.

It is in every edition of Taxi Driver that I have seen.

 

[Matt Pelham]

Rob, I should have credit for round # 4.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Sorry Matt!

I did get your PM, and you did, indeed, get it right! Sorry!

Post edited to reflect my error! :b

The Three Bonus Points for most Amusing Answer goes to Steve Bergeron for his response: Lawrence of Arabia!

Perhaps it should be stated that technically Walter Kittel, Brad Porther and Bruce Hedtke gave a "more correct" answer: Le Fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain.

I can only guess at the controversy it would have caused if that was the only answer I accepted!
