1. Pick fifteen of your favorite movies and choose one still from each movie.
(ok, I cut this down to ten)
2. Post those stills in your journal.
3. Try to guess mine.

3) American Beauty
4) The Piano
5) one of the LOTR films.
6) Monty Python, Holy Grail.
7) I know I've seen it... can't place it.
8) The Princess Bride.
10 Again, I've seen it but can't remember the title without cheating and going to imdb.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Very good. I honestly don't know which LOTR flick that's from, but I love them all.

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

9 is the Chaplin biopic Johnny Depp did, if I'm not mistaken - isn't it called 'Chaplin'? And I think 7 is Man from UNCLE.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

LOL...no, and no. :P

9 *is* a Depp flick, but one of the more obscure ones.

7 is definitely not the Man from UNCLE. I've never seen that one.

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh.. is it the one where he plays JM Barrie?

And I know I heard about a film in which Bjork plays a single mother or somesuch, which looks like no 2(? damn LJ stealing my pictures), but I don't recall the name.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

No, it's not that one. Not as recent.

And yes, you're on the right track with #2!

[ex-lark-asc.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but Googling is cheating :) I'll leave 'em to someone else..

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

1. Wings of Desire
3. American Beauty
4. The Piano (with a beautiful shot of Holly Hunter on her hands and knees . . .)
5. LotR:RotK
6. Monty Pyhton Quest for the Holy Grail
7. Wicker Man
8. Princess Bride
10. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I don't remember if #5 is from ROTK or another one, but otherwise all correct!

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

It's RotK because it is after he falls off the cliff, is basically half dead at the water's edge . . .

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Ah, right, I just noticed the horse's ass in the picture. But that scene's actually in Two Towers.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

hmm, I could have sworn it was in the third one, right before the battle for helm's deep.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Helm's Deep was in the second one.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

okay, I bow to your kung fu

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

W00t!

I actually have TT on DVD, so I've seen it several times.

[witchyspyce.livejournal.com]

#10 is under rated. I don't understand why critics hated it so much.

[witchyspyce.livejournal.com]

Kudos for #9...

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Can you name it? Have you seen it?

[witchyspyce.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I don't want to blow it for anyone. emailed you instead.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Gotcha!

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I know! It was brilliant, especially the music.

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

1. "Rosebud..." (I can't think of the name of the film!)
2. ---
3. American Beauty
4. Little Women?
5. LOTR
6. Holy Grail
7. Wicker Man
8 Princess Bride ("Have fun storming the castle, boys!)
9. ---
10. O Brother! Where Art Thou

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

#1 and #4 are wrong, but the rest are right!

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

Hunh. Must be Scarlet Letter then. Unless you'll accept "some period thing that I didn't see because I was mortally offended by the casting"

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Nope. And it's not your typical costume drama, either. pierceheart got it right.

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

Hm. *notes list of should-rent-somedays*

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

It's a really good movie. First I ever saw with full frontal male nudity that wasn't porn.

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

*sits up straight*

Really...............

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Nothing too exciting, I'm afraid. Harvey Keitel.

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

Hm.

*contemplating if that's interesting or not*

[autumnsshadow.livejournal.com]

1. looks familiar, but i can't remember

4. The Piano
5. LOTR - one of them
6. Monty Python - Holy Grail
7. Wicker Man

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Ooh, very good!!! You're only the second person to get #9, and the you're the first to get #2. :)

[autumnsshadow.livejournal.com]

i used to watch a lot of movies =)

[dbmyrrha.livejournal.com]

I liked Dead Man, although it's not my favorite Depp film. I haven't seen many (if any) other Jim Jarmusch movies, but I hear that's his style...kinda odd. Other than that, I only recognised 3,4,5,7,which are all among my favorites, too.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I loved Dead Man. The odd, dreamlike/nightmarish quality it has is SO up my alley. :)

[dbmyrrha.livejournal.com]

I think when I get Netflix next month,I'll put it on my list to see again.
