Sorry, i've hung round long enough to see if anyone turned up. Treasure now gone. It was at Ogi-Ike "fan pond" beach on Minamijima island (one of the Bonin islands, East of Taiwan and South of Japan). Check out the spot on the net; beautiful place to spend some time, even without the treasure.
o.k. Can't let this fizzle out. You should have headed East from Taiwan. On the Waterfront director Kazan's next film was East of Eden. To just East of 140, and North of (Miller's book) Tropic of Cancer. And it's not the Volcano islands (aka Kazan Retto), with its main island Iwo Jima (Wayne...
Sorry for the delay; had Xmas visitors. If you've understood the "on the waterfront.. next direction" clue properly to start you off from Taiwan (further clue; Steinbeck, book of Genesis), you'll have plenty of open ocean to yourself for quite a distance- 1,000 miles about. Keep the writer Henry...
Quite right. Well done, both. Taiwan is the place to set sail from! Let me know if you fancy the voyage, anyone. If you know about the Oscar winner for 1954 and its director it will help.
O.k. here are some alternative clues. 1. One of Monty's throws sci- fi Marker for Bruce, mad Brad and simian dozen. 2. Kelly must love this city in the Springtime. 3. Takashi Miike's blood-splattered assassin. 4. Roeg directs Agutter on Aussie stroll. 5. The WWI guns have stopped...
Sorry, when you know the answers, the clues seem a lot easier! Hope i've not misjudged it. But it has been done elsewhere. Then again, the guy was really clever.
With my faithful sea dog Bryn, we've buried a priceless treasure chest somewhere in the world- hardly known but very specific! Armed with film knowledge, a good atlas or maps and a little scouting/surfing for further info, one of you will hit the jackpot! The first set of clues' 1st letters...
Kevin found the gold in private. Well done. The answer was Eureka, which is about 200 miles North North West of San Francisco. The answers were; S ansho the Bailiff (wonderful film) A laddin N osferatu F itzcarraldo R ushmore A melie N otorious C yrano de Bergerac I f S e7en C ity...
By all means work as a group; seems like everyone's either stuck or too cagey. When you've enough answers for the point of departure, an atlas or map, and a little science may help find the gold.
Alternative clues. 1. Mother and son's beach reunion in Mizoguchi masterpiece. 2. Magic lamp gets Jafar animated. 3. Silent Vampire horror based on Stoker 4. Herzog and Kinski at it again in Brazil. 5. What's the hurry, Murray? 6. Tautou's a selfless waitress 7. Ingrid...
I've prepared 2 Christmas treasure hunts for you. Here's the easier one. First letter of each answer gives the place of departure, for the buried gold. 1. Kenji's cruel slave-driver splits mother and children. 2. Williams' genie out of Disney's bottle 3. Ship rats and silent Max sound...

I should have changed the thread title to SEX to attract interest. 10 viewings really isn't good enough! Abraham Valley may well leave some viewers wondering what i see in it. It's quite slow and talkative, with regular voice-over that may irritate, though for me this acts as an interesting...
I've just seen for the 3rd time this loose, referential 1993 transposition of Madame Bovary to Portugal's lovely Douro valley, by the now nonagenarian (and still amazingly prolific) director Manoel de Oliveira. Though the initial magical relish of finding unexpected treasure can never be...

It was Caroline Cossey (aka Tula, born Barry Cossey); just as well for Roger Moore's image she wasn't his main love interest. It shows how inaccuracies spread and can do damage, e.g to Carole Bouquet. Actually i read Cossey's book in the 80's; in those days sex changes were less common. The guys...
Grand Illusion (very close but i'll go with the director more than the film.) - no Cercle Rouge (i'd be very surprsied if it was better than PLF) - NO 4th Man M.Hulot's holiday Three Colours Blue (just pips all the red in CAW) Shop on the High Street (both are overrated) Nosferatu Double...
