Torm: Modern Hero or something… Super!

Cabinet of Dr caligari – key film of the German expressionist movement

Geetee – I recognize the shot, but cant remember for the life of me what its from? 1920’s ish? Horror film?

Super

+1

Another classic for the real anoraks…

geetee, that looks so familiar, any clues or a bigger pic?

Titanic? 😉

Torm – that’s Battleship Potemkin

EDIT: that was Battleship Potemkin… where’s it gone?

LOL at Torm.

I was just googling ‘Battleship Potempkin’ myself.

Damn you Eviljoe! You clearly stayed awake during the German Neo Expressionism lecture!

EDIT – I hate you all! 👿

Just walking the dog and realised this is

Jacob’s ladder

EDIT: ****, I see reading back a page.. it’s already been discovered, Doh!

Edit 2: ron jeremy, Callous had already got it earlier, but yep fantastic movie and the sound track is great too.

Battleship Potemkin above?

that was Battleship Potemkin… where’s it gone?

I realised answer was in the URL so went to find a better pic.

Aha! Now see I got that one completely off my own back!

Mine was indeed The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

and pertinent.
Very.

The one and only book where I have read the last few lines and stopped in my tracks…

Funny, did the same to me. Sticks in you like a knife. Interestingly, the last lines are supposed to represent humanity and hope. It didn’t feel like anything other than piteous desperation to me.

Portly one- Cube?

Damn you Eviljoe! You clearly stayed awake during the German Neo Expressionism lecture!

And now finally I know why.

Sorry all, had to take a phone call, so missed Battleship Potempkin…

Still no one got this?

OK, still art house but a little more action in this one:

Guessing is one thing, but there are multiple films it could be so points will only be awarded if you truly know which one it is.

‘The Cars That Ate Paris’ I reckon but not sure…

Geetee- The Hidden Fortress?

Nice one Torminalis 😀

Eviljoe – like I said, was always going to be easy to guess, but no. It’s one of his other ones.

bedsittingroom

I am guessing Kurosawa, pre 1970, hmnn.. which one…

bedsittingroom indeed 😀

mrsconsequence didnt understand it 😆

To me it represented the indefatigability of life and the ability to adjust to circumstances. In a way the story is very similar to Midnight Express in that the characters continue to adapt to the ever-decreasing circle that is their situation (although with more hope than (Michael?) in the latter).

bedsittingroom indeed

mrsconsequence didnt understand it

Wasn’t it about a post nuclear world where the main character mutates into a bed sitting room?

I am guessing Kurosawa, pre 1970, hmnn.. which one…

The one that’s been remade at least three times since…

Yojimbo?

Too easy for you really isn’t it?

French new wave?

It’s gotta be Yojimbo or Seven Samuri then.. I think… dunno in truth.

In that case, is it Yojimbo? I know its been redone a few times….

How about this

What no beer: Double Indemnity

Whatnobeer- Double Indemnity?

Au Bout de Souffle? Breathless?

Last guess- I have to go to the theatre now.. 🙂

No Evil was, as usual, right. It is Yojimbo.

I haven’t seen it but I’m going to guess that whatnobeer’s film is the one made about Toshiro Mifune’s life?

Evil – you’re now barred from the contest. Yes it was Breathless.

Is there any film you haven’t seen?

French new wave?

I thought it was Une Femme est une Femme at first, but its in colour. So Breathless?

oh and now the Truffant comes out… bloody hell…

I have to go home now and I am actually quite dissapointed… cracking thread.

I haven’t seen it but I’m going to guess that whatnobeer’s film is the one made about Toshiro Mifune’s life?

Sorry, try again.

And yep, the previous one was indeed Double Indemnity.
