Title: Name that film! game
Post by: a1s on August 25, 2008, 08:53:17 am
In this forum game, someone has to post a short description of a film, and you must guess the name of that film. Extra clues can be given if the poster wishes, or if someone asks for them.

If you guess correctly, then it is your turn to give description of a film for someone else to guess. The film you describe can be an old classic, or it can be the latest blockbuster, or anything in between - it really doesn't matter.

If no clues were provided in 48 hours, or if the winner didn't post a decription in 48 hours, then anyone can claim the turn. (if more than 48 hours passed, but the person came back and posted, they'll still have the tunr though).

Okay, here is a short description. Can you name that film?

a film showing all the luxuries of Vietnam-
becoming local tribe's god.
taking long boat trips.
listening to good music while flying a helicopter.

I'd say "Apocalypse now" if I ever saw that film, but from what I know of it, it fits.

Hm. <rummages through memory in search of a film people here could possibly recognize>

One of the stories of a space captain
Faced with a mutiny of a hidden robot
The captain prevails and the robot's hands are torn apart.
Based on a work by a polish writer.

It's fairly specific, and at least someone should remember it...

I know it's not in the rules, but you should use western movies. and ones that more than 1 peron in a 100 had seen at that.

so I'm guessing Pirx's inquest ("Test pilota Pirxa")?

Hur hur hur. Remove the "use western movies" and keep the more than 1 person in a 100 had seen.

Anyway, can we also make a picture alike the guess the historic event game?

sure, knock yourself out.

the thing about non-western movies is that there are probably classics in china that "everyone saw" , but we have no idea about.

Let's change that to "Something you can find on an english-language film review site", because that's how I remembered that film.

Yes, it's "Test Pilota Pirxa". Your turn.

There's also Waking Life. (I think that's what it's called...)

Also, who's Keyona?  Keanu's sister?

Looks like the thread is dying already, so heres one:

Ex-army ranger returns to LA. He wants to join to LAPD, but he is refused. He is trying to make money from small heists, while still looking for a new job...but something goes wrong.
