these two films I have seen during my school days (8:30 shows)

I think movies I have posted by me will be familiar for 30+ aged people here :P

[kid-glove]

Okay, for mine. It's a controversial film from late 80's that got very negative reviews at the time. In particular, one critic wrote a venal article about the film and filmmaker.

Here's another set of snaps from the same filmmaker but a different, another noted film, that released almost 10 yearss later..

Both Film A and Film B have patriarchal characters with violent tendencies (credit to Zizek for his passionate analysis )

Here are four other snaps from Film B (that I snapped from Zizek's Pervert's Guide to Cinema FYI)

Ah, now that made it easier. "Touch of Evil". Surely a Welles-esque shot (and great one at that) than Hitchcock's. :)

Thought it was Diaboliques first, but didn't see such expansive motel scenes in that film...

Popular movie. 2 heroes. Movie released between 1986 to 1990 movie. One of the hero's movie got released this month.

[kid-glove]

But now it seems like the ground is carpet and the scene happens in living room or what have you?

Rainman? :P

[salaam_chennai]

yeah. I thought you will get it easily after seeing the toothpicks.

[kid-glove]

Knowing the kind of films from that filmmaker, I didn't grasp the visual details of that film like I'd from a Kubrick film. Now even stills from Kubrick's films could puzzle one. But yes, the toothpick escaped my mind.

[Siv.S]

Crash?! But clue = Dasa ?!

[Siv.S]

K-G clue is "Butterfly effect"

[kid-glove]

Oh, so Crash is wrong?

[kid-glove]

Damn! Babel, Cave sequence. The dark man is the salesman who hands over the magnum bullet to Father of that family!!

[Siv.S]

Oh, so Crash is wrong?
yes its wrong, there is a man in crash who speak the same language of these two above in my pic ...
//sorry for the wrong clue :oops: the particular language part mentioned in the movie.The Iranian family speaks Persian.. there is a scene that lady refers that persian and arabs are different.in babel its arab family. //

[Siv.S]

Yes :D

:clap:

[kid-glove]

:notworthy: Superb selection of snaps both Salaam chennai & Siv.S, the very 'artifacts' that registers in our mind deeply in the film (tooth pick and bullet/gun respectively). Although I'm only able to crack the film from both your clues! Must improve..

The title of the film is in the frame itself. :oops:

Another clue: Widely considered a technological achievement in its color coding and cinematography (by British legend, who said to bring 'magic' and 'life' in 'technicolor' films) . Hands down, one of the Technicolor masterpiece that recently got re-treatment and preserved by guidance of Scorsese, Allen, etc..

Phoren quiz (which you're super strong at) is a bit difficult to get wide audience, Dr.

So sticking to American filmmakers and/or keeping in mind the audience. If I'm to do another quiz. It'll be one of Welles, Chaplin, B.Keaton, Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, Scorsese, DePalma, Stanley Kubrick, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas, and Polanski. Or something generic like Westerns or 70's cinema. Will let you know.

[AravindMano]

enna nambikkai :lol: I know, it would be odd to do that as a kweezzz.

Even a tamil film kweezzz would be good for me ;) Interesting list you have mentioned, will look forward.

[kid-glove]

When are you going to conduct one yourself?

[AravindMano]

ah, no, not very good at that. Let's see :D
