Quiz: Name that movie

[Porkchop]

Kubo and the Two Strings?

 

[Alm]

Correct!

 

[Frindis]

@Porkchop have a go if you want😉

 

[Porkchop]

Movie was decent, book was better.

 

[Frindis]

Good movie and one I need to see again soon: It is The Road (2009). Since I know I am correct; here is another one. Starting with a difficult crop and increasing the scene as we go along:

 

[invader]

Wow, that is going to be hard (for me) is colored so, unless this is special version, leaves out all the old classic I saw long ago like 7 samurai and Yojimbo. Also, the color is old-ish so leaves out 13 assasins and other new-ish period movies y saw more recently. Is not Ran (pretty sure) and the other with that style could be some of the Zatoichi movies but just saw a couple of them including the 2003 one, and that definitely is not. Dammit, I'll go check list of samurai movies lists to see if I can guess

 

[Frindis]

Perhaps this one will help😉

 

[Mazer]

I'd know that perfectly round head anywhere, that's Takeshi Kitano in Zatoichi, the 2003 one.

Fun fact, in 1989 Hollywood adapted Zatoichi into a movie called Blind Fury where Rutger Hauer plays a blind Vietnam vet with insane sword skills.

 

[Frindis]

That is correct @Mazer and @invader, you could not have been closer man😉

Pretty 80's, but in a good way:

[invader]

Cheated by my own memories!

 

[Frindis]

@Mazer Have a go, good sir😉

 

[Mazer]

Here we go, nothing too hard.

 

[invader]

Disney and Warner cartoons together? Isn't that who framed roger rabbit?

Correct! Such an amazing movie, I know some people prefer The Three Caballeros but I think this is the finest marriage of live action traditional cel animation. Makes Space Jam look like a gimmick. And extra crazy to imagine what it would have been like if Eddie Murphy had accepted the role of Eddie Valiant.

Over to you @invader

 

[invader]

Whoa! Eddie Murphy could have been Valiant? That would have been interesting indeed. Anyway Bob Hopkins made an amazing job in it. Space Jam, althought interesting when I first saw it I can't stand it nowadays. While Roger Rabbit can see it through and through every time I catch it.
I'll add the next image soon 😀

[EDIT]
This is a quite bad 90's comedy that (admittedly) enjoyed much more than I should have:

 

[invader]

Don't know if the movie is too obscure or not much interest but here is a hint: That guy is John Leguizamo

 

[Frindis]

Still remember his role as "Benny Blanco from the Bronx" in Carlito's Way, even if it was Sean Penn and Al Pachino who really shined in that movie. As for the clip, does not ring any bells.

 

[Mazer]

It's not The Pest is it? I had a friend who loved that movie.

 

[invader]

Yes! The pest! Please continue 😁

 

[Mazer]

Gonna make it interesting this time with a gif from an extremely obscure movie.

 

[invader]

When you said "extremely obscure movie" you weren't fooling around

 

[Mazer]

Yeah, this one may require some google-fu.

 

[invader]

Google fu? I need to be Bruce goglee for this one. Can't even imagine what combination of words would describe that gif

 

[Mazer]

I'll start you off with a little direction then.

This shot, and most of the movie, was achieved with clever use of stop motion.

 

[Hveðrungr]

Never mind Google-fu, you'd need to be some sort of magician of velocity and chronology.
