Guess the Movie Plot
Aw, I don't think Santa Sangre is obscure.Bandit's is Pan's Labyrinth?
Michael just got in there before me :P
I love The Others.A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes and goes on a killing rampage.
Sharon wrote: "the warrior survives a near-death experience, becomes an assassin-for-hire, and tries to protect her two latest targets, a single father and his young daughter, from a group of supernatural assassins."Oh yeh, This is Sharon's one. I've actually no idea.
Sorry, Sharon, I somehow completely missed yoursnothing is too obscure for the great Bandit :)
is it Elektra?
Posting a challenging plot is one thing, but a description like "homicidal maniac goes on a rampage" is what I mean by vague. There are so many maniac and detective movies out there with similar plots. Oh, and don't give away an ending in your plot.
My description said "institutionalized since childhood", I thought it was a pretty good hint. A Lot of homicidal maniacs go unchecked.
I dedicate this one to Tressa, specifics and all :)In the not so distant future (precisely the year 2035) a techno-phobic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot.
Yeh no spoilers please. Ok how about this one: homicidal maniac goes on a rampage.
Only kidding :P
1970's British movie about a group of children that find a claw, start up a witches coven and then begin to grow and harvest "Satan's Skin" on their bodies.
Yup, Blood on Satan's claw. I even managed to get the words Satan and Claw into the question. I'm gonna let Tressa guess your one.
I, Robot. An attractive successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover.
Disfigured genius becomes obsessed with a young protege and will stop at nothing to have her.I feel like any less vague and it'll be too obvious, but hint...there has been great many adaptations of this story.
Two angst-ridden, snarky girls are social outsiders who, after graduating from high school, play a mean prank on a middle-aged geek. (2001)I adore this movie.
Ghost World?Have you see Abre los Ojos, Tressa? the original Vanilla Sky, it's very good
no judgment/beating on Tom Cruise loving, he's very entertaining, though I'd like him better without the whole Scientology thing
A Boy with an unusual ability gets help from a child psychologist.this is a classic, folks, shot right here in Philadelphia
No, I haven't seen the original Vanilla Sky. It's a confusing plot, so I just assumed that if I had the plot on top of the subtitles, I'd be lost.I love Ghost World the movie; I love Ghost World the graphic novel even more.
Sixth SenseDeeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, a man tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.
Check it out, if you ever get a chance, now that you know the plot, subtitles shouldn't be too much of a distraction and it's really good
You're right. Now I understand the plot I'm sure I'd be able to watch and read at the same time. I think what kept me away from watching Open Your Eyes was I don't really like Penelope Cruz. I hated the way she acted like a moppet in VS. She really annoyed me.
I find that she is much much better an actress when she can speak her native language, I actually think the strain of speaking english affects her acting negatively, though less so now. In spanish films she radiates, especially when directed by Almodovar.Trainspotting?
Yes, Trainspotting. I guess I should give her another chance by watching one of her native language movies. I just can't stand when women act like she did in VS. Don't ask me to explain it. She sure is lucky to be shacking up with Anton Chigurh.
funny, I think he's the lucky one...that dude is talented and all, but SO weird lookingAfter a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual...er...perverts?
woohoo! :o) Psychiatrist tries to prevent one of his patients from committing suicide while trying to maintain his own grip on reality.







Santa Sangre for example is pretty obscure, Phil ;)
In 1944 Europe, the bookish young girl escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.
