4. Is he dead or alive?
5. It's people

Citizen Kane

 

[DR13]

Citizen Kane

Yup. That was the easiest.

...10.) boxing

Rocky, Raging Bull or The Hammer

1). Baldwin brother with a big gun
2). Same actor plays a president, foreign officer, and a crazed scientist
3). He rode a bomb and is now riding a horse
4). 80's action actors
5). Was going to save Orion, not so much
6). Japaneses version of Shadowrun
7). Here is my Flair!
8). Too good in the big city, man this small town is messed up
9). A small speed bump slows down a large machine

[zoobyshoe]

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. 2001: A Space Oddesy
3. Jarhead?
4. Jaws
5. No idea
6. L.A. Confidential
7. Se7en
8. Inglorius Basterds
9. Could be many...
10. (see 9)

Very good, except for not getting 5, which is Men In Black. 6 to 10 are described so sparsly that several different movies could be offered and be correct.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Jaws.



MIB

Correct.

 

[stevebd1]

Mathematician goes crazy and thinks the FBI is chasing him (OK, this described every mathematician alive, but only one movie)

Pi.

5. It's people

Soylent Green.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Rocky, Raging Bull or The Hammer

Correct. Ali, and Requiem for a Heavyweight are other possible correct answers that occur to me.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Movie 1) Moron becomes friends with a mouse
Movie 2) Moron is murdered by his best friend

Both (badly)describe the movie version of Of Mice and Men, and, The Green Mile.

2) The golden record holder comes looking for daddy.

3) A deaf, dumb and blind kid is good at pinball.

4) A musician gets revenge for his death.

5) A guy almost breaks his parents up before he's concieved.

6) An assassin gains the emperor's trust by eliminating the other assassins.

7) A riverboat ride into the heart of darkness.

8) The non-animated adventures of a talking-K9 and a person.

A Clockwork Orange
Tommy
Apocalypse Now!

 

[brewnog]

Again some movies with a common theme:

Army leader takes it up against the english king. Gets captured. Torture scenes.

Jewish boy thinks he's the son of God. Torture scenes.

End of the Mayans. Torture scenes.

Mel Gibson (The Patriot, Passion of the Christ, Apacolypto)

I hate him...

Braveheart, surely?

 

[Evo]

Heaven Can Wait

Yes!

 

[Ken Natton]

Can I have a go?


Fruity guy marries an innocent, corrupts her, then reforms leaving her in the gutter.

Novel chap is a hero to his fellow sufferers because he won’t conform. They think he betrays them and he is only restored to hero status when he loses his life.

Famously vain man teams with a shrewd blonde beauty. Together they cause a great deal of trouble.

Prevailing attitudes make justice impossible, but a father teaches his children the value of dignity and restraint.

Both men would rather the company of almost anyone else on earth, but circumstances force them to work together and each earns the grudging respect of the other.

After she foils the evil intention of their father, she has the responsibility of caring for her younger brother, but survival seems unlikely. Their saviour is someone she might have looked down on but does he know more than she realizes about the true path to happiness?

 

[cepheid]

A young adult receives a piece of jewelry from his uncle and is chased by dark-clothed bullies and a large eye.

This one is fairly obvious so I'm assuming it was just overlooked, but anyway:

The Lord of the Rings

 

[khemist]

nvm i was way late.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

Dr. Strangelove

*In a heavily stilted German accent*

"Mien Führer, I can walk!"

In others words correct. Well 3 should be easy now.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Well 3 should be easy now.

"He rode a bomb" would refer to Slim Pickens, but he was in a lot of westerns.

 

[TurtleMeister]

Movie 1) Sirius falls from the sky
Movie 2) A retired professor checks her mail box, but must return less than one minute later to check it again.
Movie 3) A cowboy tells a movie producer who he must choose to play a leading role.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

"He rode a bomb" would refer to Slim Pickens, but he was in a lot of westerns.

True, I guess to make it less vague I'll add:

This director had a expertise for advertising a sequel, but they never formed.

The clue means nothing to me, but I'm going to guess Blazing Saddles, just because it was a hit movie.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Both men would rather the company of almost anyone else on earth, but circumstances force them to work together and each earns the grudging respect of the other.

Yours are difficult.

This one might refer to The Defiant Ones, or, also with Sidney Poitier, In The Heat Of The Night.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

"Somebody's got to go back and get a s*** load of dimes!"

You are correct. Mel Brooks had in most of his movies drops/songs about the sequels to the current movie. Of course is was just a joke.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

...
Movie 2) A retired professor checks her mail box, but must return less than one minute later to check it again.
...

It sounds like The lake house, however the only other movie I can think of involving mail is You've got mail.

 

[TurtleMeister]

It sounds like The lake house, however the only other movie I can think of involving mail is You've got mail.

Nope. A few more hints: It's a physical mail box. When she checks it, she is being watched by the movies main character. She wrote the book that the main character is reading.

Funny isn't it, I thought I'd made some of them too easy. I suppose its all a matter of whether you know them or not. Yes, Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger were the two gentlemen struggling to get on In the Heat of the Night that I was thinking of.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Funny isn't it, I thought I'd made some of them too easy. I suppose its all a matter of whether you know them or not.

Yeah, I reread them several times and nothing came to mind. I decided I must not be familiar with any of them.

Heaven Can Wait


Movie 1) Moron becomes friends with a mouse
Movie 2) Moron is murdered by his best friend

Both (badly)describe the movie version of Of Mice and Men, and, The Green Mile.

Both of your answers would be a good answer for the second one, but Mice and Men was the movie I was thinking of.

First one might be a little obscure, since the movie's pretty old (late 60's). The book was more famous. He even gave the mouse flowers.
