It doesn't look as if anyone is going to get this one - it's Gosford Park.

I have hogged this thread too much of late, so I nominate Paul to put the next one up.

It's actually been pretty much a two person thread for the last while (with the occasional guest), so I think we should throw it open to whoever wants to put one up. Any volunteers?

Yes me :fsbgrin:
I had one in my head after watching this film the other night:

To the lucky person who has never heard it, I can only say: imagine what a brussels sprout would sound like, if a brussels sprout could talk.

A couple of clues: the film was made in 2006, and the quote is about the voice of the film's main character.

Jan, I was tempted to come up with an example of tacky English humour by saying, " Brussel sprout? Is it Gone With The Wind? :roll: [-X However, that would have been lowering the tone, so instead, is the film a comedy or perhaps a science fiction comedy?

Jill, you've done well by not giving in to temptation
However the film is biographical. Another film about the same subject was made a year earlier, that one was probably better known

Jan, the biographer doesn't sound too enamoured with their subject - perhaps a celebrity, politician or a sports person? Quite a few of them are known for generating copious amounts of ' hot air '. :fsbgrin: :fswink:

The main character is a writer, but one that produced plenty of hot air.

Name that Film

Post by Caratacus »

It's one of the two movies based on Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Which one though? One was called Capote and one In Cold Blood, I think. I'll guess the latter.

Felton, you're right on all accounts apart from the film's name. However you're close enough to get the next go; the film is called Infamous.

Over to you

Ah ok! I remember now. It was actually the superior film but as you say not as well known. One of my favourite books as well. I'll have a think about a quote...

Ok, recent movie:

- I thought you said, “Michael Myers.”
- This is Mike Myers.
- It should be the Halloween mask.
- This is a Halloween mask!
- No, the killer dude from Halloween!
- Oh, you mean Jason.
- No!

The only lines I can remember from this film - and it was on TV yesterday I noticed. Spoken by Macauley Culkin to John Candy in Uncle Buck...
