The previous hint was:

A bulldog with a gas mask on passes out.

Gawain's guess of Top Secret is incorrect.

Another hint:

The man standing next to the dog, rips off the gas mask and starts CPR.

I've only seen a man doing CPR to a dog in "There's something about Mary".

I know I've seen this; that was at the beginning of the movie wasn't it? And it was during a commercial shoot IIRC. I just can't visualize the actors...

Was it "Bad Santa"?

One of the Ace Ventura Pet Detective movies?

No to all.

Big hint: IBS. :D

Van Wilder?

No, not Van Wilder.

IBS mean Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The character doing CPR would talk about it much to the dismay of his fellows.

Man, I know I've seen this... I just can't place it. Was that Ben Stiller with the IBS?

Nope, J.K. Simmons (aka J. Jonah Jameson, aka Emil Skoda, aka Will Pope, aka Buffalo Bill Cody,...). The movie also stared Tom Hanks.

AH! Now I remember! "The Ladykillers"

Here's one:

A husband and wife putter around a heavily damaged kitchen fixing breakfast from whatever undamaged goods they can find as if it were the most mundane and natural thing to be doing.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

Yep.

An old man lectures a young man on the virtues of sleeping with many women.

That sounds like a scene from the Fast Show every week. 'Swiss Tony' = legend!

Can't remember seeing it in a film though.

Scent of a Woman

Nope.

Don Juan DeMarco?

Scent of a Woman?

No (and still not Scent of a Woman).

Hint: The conversation occurred in a VW bus.

almost famous?

Road Trip?

No and no.

Little Miss Sunshine?

I'm focusing on the Volkswagen bus. :bad:

Yes indeed, one of the funniest scenes in the movie in my opinion.

Um...

A car window rolls down, allowing a hand to drop a fish onto the street.

The spy who loved me?

No.

Hintage:The scene is a wedding limo driving away from a church in Wisconsin.

Inner space?

No.

Hintage 2: the co-stars are comedic legends who starred in several films together.

The costars are now dead and the movie spawned a sequal with a similar title.

Grumpy Old Men.

Phew, yes that's correct.

A guy riding on the back of a motorcycle with a gold football helmet on.

Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider

Yeah, with that big, stupid grin on his face. What a great scene.

Your turn Chas.

A man sells some dirt to buy some water.

Waterworld?

Yes.

ok, there is a burning building and a chest gets thrown out of the attic window. When it opens up a man stands up and starts shooting.

Jumanji?

nope.

hmm, proving trickier than i'd have thought. Hint time..... Genre or date released... hmm. Date released ish, very late '80s.

1988.

Young Guns?

BINGO! You got it!

Yee-haa!

3 men and a lady doing a farting contest. Lady wins.

:grin:

A Knights Tale?

Right on... your turn Lai.

A man and a woman hiding under a bridge from a storm and a truck lands right behind them.

Twister?

You got it Colthrun!

Yay! :banana:

Another softball, to keep this going.

A man fries an egg on a woman's belly.

Hot Shots!

It could be no other!

A throbbing wound bursts out some pus that lands smack into someone's dessert.

The man proceeds to eat his dessert, oblivious of the incident.

The person with the festering wound was bitten by something the previous day.

damn! That sounds so familiar.. Can't put my finger on it...

The person with the festering wound also accidentally chews her own ear a bit.

argh, i can't remember the title of the movie, peter jackson's early works... dead alive?

In some parts of the world it's known as Dead Alive, in most places it's Braindead. Jackson's third, IIRC.

Faye's turn.

Oh wow, thanks. Only remembered the word dead.

A woman runs past a man and he recognises her perfume, turning around.

Dead Alive, that's right! Damn, I knew it sounded familiar...

Faye, this needs a hint....

Okie, they couldn't see one another when they passed each other.

Daredevil?

Nope

hint time?

They are husband and wife.

Mr and Mrs Smith?

Nope, sorry

Another hint needed... ;)

He turns around only to see a door closing.

This is an absolute guess, but Dark City?

I feel that I've seen this...

The Sixth Sense?

... Pretty sure it's not that ...

Sorry, no to both.

Solaris?

Nope, sorry.

Frantic?

This one is still going on?!?!

Clearly, Faye, you either need to give another hint (from perhaps another scene or a memorable one) or declare victory and post another movie.

@T2Bruno

lol, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This is clearly too hard... It's been going on for 10 days now?

Okay, sorry. Gonna give a few hints this time, if noone gets it, I'll just pass it on to someone else.

Its a recent horror movie. The two people are on two different planes of existence that overlaps one another which is why they can't see one another when they pass each other. They never got reunited together at the end of the movie and it hints that they probably won't.

Wild guess: Final Destination 3 ?

Pulse? Or is it that movie with Julianne Moore, the Forgotten?

White Noise?

Here is the answer: Silent Hill
It was the scene where the main character is being chased by pyramid head and passed Sean Bean (he is such an underrated actor!), who plays her husband in the alternate worlds.

Anyway, as promised, whoever posts first gets to post the next question.

:thumb: Congrats Faye on confounding us!!

A man arrives with a birdcage

paycheck?

woohoo Shiny windmill on a stick?

can't believe I got that one, what an unmemorable scene ;) :p not that I'm complaining :D

hmm, can't think of a really good one right now, but here goes:

a guy picks a stack of diskettes off of someone's table and throws them at the approaching security guard one by one as if they were ninja throwing stars :D

??? Falling Down?

nope. okay, I guess this one needs some details. The guy throwing the diskettes is being chased by the gorilla of a security guard because he chucked his bicycle at him in order to distract the guard so his friend could get into the building.

What a bizarre film!

Run, Lola, Run?

Citizen Kane?? :lol:

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Air Heads?

Mallrats?

Hackers?

hmm, no to all. didn't think this would be that difficult to get..

okay, giveaway hints time.

right after this diskette scene, while running away from the guard who will, by the looks of him, without a doubt cripple him if he catches him, he takes the time to grab the girl who he's been mooning over for the latter half of the movie (but who you haven't even seen until now) and kiss her. before running again :D

We don't know. Tell us please.

man, no idea I had a stumper :/

The movie in question is You, Me & Dupree starring Matt Dillon, Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson. Nobody saw it?

Anyways, next one:

A guy bets a girl that she can't shoot a (ice) hockey puck into the goal. If she misses, he gets a kiss and if she makes it, he leaves her alone forever. Then she makes the shot :D

Happy Gilmour.

I know for a fact it's right, as it's a film I love, so I'll post the new one now.


A man cruelly pokes a caged dog with a stick to make it aggressive.

Snatch?

Indeed you are correct, Triactus.

Since it's Halloween :

In a restaurant, a woman asks a man how her best friend died. He casualy replies that he chopped off her head.

Righto Barmy. Question though, is that how they spell the title in the UK/European "version"? The copy I have says Happy Gilmore :confused:

My guess: American Psycho?

@Enag I've only seen the titke as Happy Gilmore here in the UK so I think it was a misspelling

My guess Psycho 2?

Highlander: End Game?

Nope to all three. Think more "halloween" like... :p

Trick or Treat? ;)

lol, no...

The movie is set in 19th century England...

Bram Stroker's Dracula.

Wooo! Way to go T2Bruno! You got it.
I actually saw it for the first time a couple hours before I posted this.. :p

This one might be tough:

An old woman is pounding her head with a rock and crying for the loss of her granddaughters.

Edit: The granddaughters were half-castes who were being removed by local law enforcement "to save them from themselves."

[ November 03, 2006, 20:10: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Rabbit-proof fence?

Rabbit-Proof Fence it is. Great movie.

Your turn.

bumping this up. your turn vukodlak

Sorry guys forgot!

Scene:

Wind blowing through a field full of black top hats...

Perhaps another hint is in order....

It's not 'V for Vendetta' is it?

is it Brazil? I don't remember a scene like that, but still, it fits with the movie theme..

Ok - it's the opening scene of the film, although it will be repeated (and explained) later on when the top hats are joined by two black cats.

Waking Ned Divine :shake:

No. Check out the quote game for another hint :D

I guess that would make it The Prestige then wouldn't it.

Aye that's the trick. Go JSBB.

A man and a woman merge to become a hermaphroditic neanderthal.

California Man?

No it isn't California Man.

The Quest for Fire?

No it isn't The Quest for Fire.

Hint time - The movie was based upon a novel of the same name by Michael Moorcock. Mr. Moorcock was not very happy about the film due to the many differences from the book with the main one being that the merged hermaphrodite in the book was of your typical sci-fi willowy evolved human of the future type.

I guess I can sympathize with Moorcock, having the hermaphrodite be a neanderthal does change the entire message of the story, but quite frankly the film was a collosal bore up until that point and using the neanderthal trick did get a chuckle out of me.

I think this was the movie starring Rhys Ifans (The Replacement) and Miranda Otto (Eowin of LOTR). Unfortunately, I know not the title.

No that wouldn't be it. Rhys Ifans and Miranda Otto would have been around 5-6 years old when this film was released.

Is this one of the Jerry Cornelious stories?

I don't recall any of the "End of Time" tales being made into films, which is the other story line that might fit the bill. It doesn't sound like Hawkmoon, Elric, Corum or Von Bek.

Yes, it is one of the Jerry Cornelius stories.

O.K. - Given that no one seems to know it I will award it to Carcaroth. If he does not take it within 24 hours it is open for the next IJA.

Sorry, forgot about this one. After checking the books titles at home, I believe it's "The final Program"

Hopefully an easy one:

The hero of the movie tries to turn the villain into stone by throwing an acorn at him.

Willow.

My one was The Final Programme.

Looks like Susipaisti has got this one.

In response to comments made about his appearance, a villain bites a man in the nose.

batman returns

Correct.

Thanks.

A man is more excited about something of the television than the news that his son just took his first steps.

Lords of War... just saw this recently.

Yup, all yours!

Here goes...

A very pissed-off man throws a stone at a poster in a very small enclosed area. He and everyone in the enclosed area were surprised that the stone went through. And everyone watched and listened in bewilderment as the stone produces several sounds before resting in silence.

Shawshank Redemption

Yup, Barmy got it.

Cracking film that mate.

A table suddenly springs up and starts attacking the protagonist.

Naked Lunch?

Nope.

The Looney, Looney, Looney Bug Bunny Movie?

No, it's not that (I've not heard of either of those films).

WAG -- Young Sherlock Holmes?

Nope!
I think you'll kick yourself when I give the answer.

Let me know if you want a clue.

hint time :p

The table is inanimate until a spell hits it, which sets it off attacking the lead title-named guy.

Suspiciously sounds like a Harry Potter movie... but I never watched them :p

Older, quite a bit older.

Willow?

Yep, JSBB got it. Nice one.

I've always loved that film.

A very drunk man fights a duel and gets repeatedly stabbed in what would normally be a fatal manner.

Highlander, the first one.

You got it T2Bruno

A man gets into a fight and is absolutely stunned by the pain of getting beaten up.

Fight Club?

Superman?

nior is very close....

Superman 2.
Kent had his backside kicked by a bar thug after having given up his powers.

Colthrun has it.

A classic:
An unshaven young man checks up some troops in a military base.

What do you mean 'checks up'?

Platoon? Full Metal Jacket?

None of those.

I'm afraid my militar vocabulary is pretty restricted. Perhaps the correct term is 'to review the troops'? What higher-rank officials do walking among standing soldiers, checking their uniforms, their stance... :p

Stripes?

That IS a classic....

An unshaven Donald Sutherland in The Dirty Dozen.

Forrest Gump?

T2Bruno got it!

/me hands him a signed picture of Lee Marvin

Edit: and pray tell what's the correct military term for what I was trying to explain. :)

It is typically called an inspection. However, the term review is also appropriate.

An old man gently waves good-bye and then... vanishes.

Poltergeist? :p

Cocoon!!!!! Surely?

Or Star Wars?

Err... Dosen't that happen a lot in movies?

@ The Magister :

lol, so it's not just me then? :lol:

Another hint... the old man was lying down. His vanishing was symbolic of his death.

Must be Return of the Jedi then. I can't believe it wasn't one of the other two I mentioned, though.

No again, the old man had just taken a nasty fall....

It's a Wonderful Life?

... from someones roof ...

Citizen Kane?

... and left his mode of transportation on the roof....

The Santa Clause?

Whew.... You're turn JSBB.

A house is destroyed by popcorn.

I have a vague recollection of popcorn being used as a weapon in Killer Clowns from Outer Space, but this would be a wild guess, even considering JSBB's film standards. :p

No it isn't Killer Klowns from Outer Space - although I have used that film before in the Quote Game. In fact popcorn was used as a weapon in that film but it was used to attack people if I recall.

This is a much more mainstream film.

Space Jam?

Real Genius

kuemper has got it.

That was mainstream? I never heard about it... :lol:

I have two comments about that.

1. It was out in the mid 80s so you might not remember it.

2. If you are comparing films to Killer Klownz from Outer Space what ISN'T more mainstream?

True, but Killer clowns from Outer Space is well known as a horrible movie, kind of like Plan 9 from outer Space (hum... there might be a recuring theme in the titles... :hmm: )

Anyhow, back to the guessing! :)

Real Genius (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089886/) from IMBD. Who can forget using frozed nitro to buy food from a vending machine? ;)

New scene:
The bad guy is removed from a truck with the side of a cliff.

Underworld: Evolution?

:aww: I was hoping for more time. You win a Lycan on a truck. :)

(She *was* looking to give you a Death Dealer on a stick, but they kept turning to dust! :lol: )

@Jaded Empath :

I don't understand what you said... :o

:lol:

Thank you kuemper,

Scene: Candle lit bathroom is seen with blood wrinting on the tub wall as girl comes in.

Candy man? (the first one)

Nope, please try again.

Carrie?

Cursed?

end of days?

hehe i see that until there's a hint, this trend of randomly guessing horror/demon themed movies will continue ;)

Hide & Seek?

Poltergeist?


{Oh, and here's a clarification of my obtuse humor earlier: "Death Dealer on a stick" would be difficult, since in the Underworld movies, vampires refer to themselves as 'Death Dealers.' And a vamp on a stick is known as 'dust.'
(you could nitpick and say "only if you poke the heart" but I'll just respond with where ELSE would you put the stick through if you wanted to hold the body securely and stably - the ankle? ;) ) So I hope that helps; if not, I can only advise to ignore any future attempts at humor I make. :heh: }

hehe i see that until there's a hint, this trend of randomly guessing horror/demon themed movies will continue Well, it sure wasn't in the director's cut of Wizard of Oz. :p

The Amityville Horror? (either one)

Scary Movie?

Skeleton Key?

hint time!

Scream 2?

What lies beneath?

Sorry for keep everyone waiting...

Halasz got it right!

Okay..umm

Man and a woman get into a taxi that has a disco ball and festive tinsel decorating it. Driver is smoking in the front seat.

Undercover Brother?

nope, (but its a hard one so I'll say that Dave Chappelle is in the movie though :p )

Is it...Half Baked? :hippy:

Well, it's not Robin Hood: Men in Tights... :rolleyes:

Even though Chapelle was in Undercover Brother, I don't think there was any 'disco taxi'...


Um, Blue Streak? :confused:

I guess I will second half-baked. Could've been one of his hallucinations :D

nope....not yet...

Screwed?

Pretty much. Give us another clue.

Dave Chapelle smokes something other than one of the words in the title.(but remember its not Half-Baked :rolleyes: )He is also the cab driver :p .

Elvis Costello looses his glasses in the end.

Theres 3!

Smoking...

200 Cigarettes?

All I remember is Casey Affleck was hawt.

Yes!!!

Kuemper, you got it right!!!

I love Courtney in that movie :)

A foreign exchange student leans over the side of a bed and gives a girl his best pick-up line.

National Lampoon's Van Wilder?

Nope. Older than that.

Reaching back in my memory of bad flicks, is it Can't Hardly wait?

Animal House?

Revenge of the Nerds?

None of the above.

Hint: John Hughes' directorial debut.

The earliest movie I remember of his is Mr Mom... but that's not it.

Heh, yesterday I was going to guess Sixteen Candles but didn't because I realized my guess was only based upon their being a wacky foreign exchange student in it. It looks like I was right.

Uncle Buck?

JSBB is right.

Round two of the epic battle of man vs camel ends pretty much the same way as round one.

Ishtar?

No it isn't Ishtar.

Romancing the Stone?

Jewel of the Nile?

Neither of those.

Round one is in one film with round two in that film's sequel.

Teh Mummy? :D
