The Ongoing "Name That Movie" Contest

post #1 of 1467

Thread Starter 
I thought we would have an open-ended "name that movie" contest, based on images posted to challenge readers. Everyone can contribute pictures, but of course you don't get points for your own submissions.

Not just movies, but TV shows, posters, album art, portraits; anything with an A/V connection that falls within forum decorum rules. Meaning there must be clothes on the women or artfully concealing camera angles.

The challenge is to find material that is not too easy but not impossibly obscure.

TIP: give your files a temporary name before uploading them, else "peeking" to see the original filenames is possible.

If anyone plays I'll keep a tally of correct answers so we know who is King of the Forum.

Oooh Ooooh.. I know this one!

Life of Pi

I have to admit, I'm at a loss as to what this movie is going to be about. Boy on a boat with a tiger. Seems like it should be short, right?

Here's my contribution

That looks familiar, but like the guy in Memento I seem unable to form new short term memories. Recent memories. Contemporary culture things. You know, general relevancy.

Well, there's a few brain cells gone. (A little wikiwork solves that one, but I won't pretend I knew it).

This may be a tough one: name that author. (Yes, she is A/V related).

Patricia Highsmith, author of Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr Ripley and others.
