Directors Yet Another Screenshot Challenge (1 Viewer)

[Elizabeth S]

I haven't seen "The Notebook" (looks too girly for me), and I thought it looked like Kirsten Dunst in the screenshot. However, I eventually realized that dress looks like the one on "The Notebook" jacket.

 

[JohnRice]

There are two particular reasons I find it difficult to confuse Rachel McAdams and Kirsten Dunst.

As far as The Notebook goes, I find it wonderfully sappy, and nicely made, plus I particularly like the two young leads. The problem is, in the last 10 minutes it moves from sappy to vomit inducing. So, I just turn it off at the right moment.

Don't know why I even try, this is just not my game I don't think. I thought I watched a lot of movies, but I am striking out so far.

 

[JohnRice]

Well, as SteveGon pointed out, he probably watches more movies than any of use, except Bill McA, and he's no good at this, while Bill is. I tend to be pretty good, even with getting movies I've never seen. It all comes down to how you remember movies. I'm a very visual person and I just remember images, or tend to be able to identify certain directors and/or DPs. Other people observe movie differently.

 

[Elizabeth S]

OK, took me 2 minutes to realize that was not a non sequitur as the first sentence contained the reasons.

 

[JohnRice]

Yeah, I'm clever that way, at least in my own mind.

Only 3 correct answers. That is officially disgraceful. May the Movie Gods take vengeance on you all, especially Steve.

Other Answers
The Man in the Moon

Big Fish

Apparently, when in doubt, guess The Man in the Moon, because people keep guessing it. You guys sure know me.

Are you serious? Fiddler was one of my two guesses for the first pic, but then the second one came, and I thought there was no chance anymore. D'oh.

 

[JohnRice]

Sayhuh? You joking?

 

[SteveGon]

Dammit, I was actually going to guess Fiddler, but forgot to PM you. Call me stupid.

 

[Kirk Tsai]

John, just to be clear, I did not submit Fiddler as an answer to you. It was just in my head as the competitor to my first answer, and I eliminated it after seeing the second pic. Stupid me, that's all.

OK, that last shot was definitely a tough one, and I didn't receive any correct answers. This one should be a lot easier.

To me at least, that graveyard dream sequence is probably the most memorable part of the entire film! Other than shot of the fiddler on a roof, the only other shot that I would've gotten would be of some guy dancing with a bottle on his head.

 

[Elizabeth S]

I don't see 7b. . .

 

[Brandon_T]

Just hit refresh it did that for me too! I am pretty sure I got this one right!!!

 

[Elizabeth S]

Thanks, Brandon, that worked!

 

[JohnRice]

SteveGon was having the same problem, as well as someone else a week or so ago. There may be some image cache thing going on, but as you learned, refreshing the window seems to take care of it.
