3. Tom Howell

Though I think that screenshot was correctly answered already.

jjacob · 02-25-2006, 11:39 PM

Now I'm confused, is that shot Days of Heaven (as AFGNCAAP said) or Giant?

Anyway,

Now two relatively easy ones (so no cheating!

):

1. Name this film:

5. Which actor who starred in a succesful 1970s TV series recently returned to the screen in a role which won him his fourth Golden Globe nomination?

Junkface · 02-26-2006, 12:13 AM

1. Brazil, and the scene which makes me love the movie so much.
New question: Which famous director earlier worked as an actor, including as a klansman in Birth of a Nation?

3. This is probably pretty easy but, Name two multi-plotted movies in which the protagonist's fate depended on catching a train.
Sliding Doors and Lola Rennt
New question: Which famous director also worked as an actor, before losing an eye when a jackrabbit leapt through the windscreen of his car? (sort of going for a theme here...)

Once A Villain · 02-26-2006, 01:04 AM

By the way guys, that picture WAS from Days of Heaven, not Giant. But nice try there Scott,

Oh and jjacob, you should pull your new questions back...neither of your answers were correct.

#5 is my question, so I know it's wrong. And Ninth guessed Cyrano de Bergerac on that other one long ago, and it was wrong.

Junkface, that means your replacement question for #1 no longer exists. Heh.

Yeah the ending is... wow. Anyway: John Ford?
New Question: Which movie by a world-famous director takes place entirely on a liferaft?

edit: Whoops sorry Once A Villain, shouldnt've assumed it was right

I'll save this one for later then

Once A Villain · 02-26-2006, 01:14 AM

UPDATED LIST WITH ALL CONFUSION SIFTED OUT:

1. During the final speech of this movie, Gérard Depardieu's character gradually loses his voice. In fact, the actor really was barely able to speak after numerous reshoots, and the director decided his exhausted whisper will work great in said scene. Name the film.

Hint: After giving his moving speech, the character gets killed, in a very specific-to-his-times way.

(Consult AFGNAACP about this one...everyone says it's Cyrano and he says otherwise...)

2. What poet appears in an incredibly long movie reciting all 4000+ pages of one of his poems?

3. Which famous director also worked as an actor, before losing an eye when a jackrabbit leapt through the windscreen of his car?

4. Which really famous singer got a small part as a CIA agent in a strange (but famous) American movie?

5. What classic Western had a "Yee Haa scene" that was talked about and imitated by characters in a later film, City Slickers?

jjacob · 02-26-2006, 01:19 AM

1. 1900?

Well, I'm probably being too anal about this. A good question is a good question, after all. I'm just trying to keep things in order is all. Heh.

Besides, I'm starting to wonder about the Gerard Depardieu question... It has been there a long time and most people think it's Cyrano. I hope AFGNAACP clears this up soon.

Actually, yes, I just found the VHS and went to the ending, his voice sounds like he has a really bad cold

Well Cyrano is his most famous role (or to a lot of Americans, that'd be Green Card

), so it's a logical mistake, besides, as I just said, his voice does sound terrible at the ending.

Does he fulfill the hint as well, ie. "gets killed, in a very specific-to-his-times way"? If yes, I'm willing to accept the answer, although I had another film in mind.

What about Krzysztof Kieślowski's Przypadek?

That he doesn't, he collapses from illness and a rather 'silly' injury, so that doesn't fit the bill. Is it "1900" though? That rather would fit the description if my memory serves me.

edit: BTW If 1900 is not correct and you do decide to accept Cyrano as the answer, I believe Ninth answered that first, so he gets do the next trivia question.

AFGNCAAP · 02-26-2006, 05:48 AM

No, not 1900. I'll give a final (?) hint; I guess I overestimated how well-known "my" movie is (and it deserves to be). Here goes.

1. During the final speech of this movie, Gérard Depardieu's character gradually loses his voice. In fact, the actor really was barely able to speak after numerous reshoots, and the director decided his exhausted whisper will work great in said scene. Name the film.

Hint #1: After giving his moving speech, the character gets killed, in a very specific-to-his-times way.

Hint #2: He is decapitated.

Just as a side note: the "Yee Haa" question had been around longer than that, I think, so some hint would be nice. Or I could start naming westerns which I haven't seen. Which may take a while.

I start with Red River.

Lucien21 · 02-26-2006, 05:50 AM

Jean de Florette. Depardieu dies at the end of that.

That was my second choice, honest

Now that you mention it it's vaguely coming back, it's been years since I saw that one.

AFGNCAAP · 02-26-2006, 06:12 AM

No. Decapitated. Specific to his times. Hmmm... when and where could that be?
