Guess the movie

Guess these 5 films, and the link!
the link is that I have watched them all.

Or because they were all directed by Verhoeven.

Whichever.
 
just a random note, the first one has been remade recently, with Colin Farrell in the Schwarzenegger role
 
Where did everyone go in the last 10 hours??

Oh well, I might as well name them then.

1. Total Recall (see hint in previous post)
2. Basic Instinct
3. Hollow Man
4. Robocop
5. Starship Troopers
 
I'll change it up a bit. Here are some Tweets (less than 140 characters) from famous movie scenes/movies.

Tweet 1: Damn! I should have taken the red pill! I don't want to be a saviour. :(

Tweet 2: Stuck in a skyscraper. Nut job has everyone hostage. Where are my shoes?

Tweet 3: He killed my cousin, so now I am standing alone outside his city wall, shouting his name for him to come and fight me. Maybe he'll send his brother.

Tweet 4: That red RX-7 3rd gen was fast! I almost had him. There goes my pink slip. :(

Tweet 5: @manwithnoname Take my advice: when you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk
 
Oh, PS* I just made up those tweets as though they were tweeted by the character, so I doubt you could google them. :D

You have to guess which movies they could have come from. Bonus points if you name the character who could have sent the tweet.
 
Garr, getting more and more complicated as we go along :p

I could only imagine die hard, but have no clue. You can probably see I'm not too good on film :p

[ps. if I ever get a go, I'm going back to screenshots, I spent ages on Tuesday getting some ready while I remembered the films I was using :p]

I've spent ages looking at nanoboy's post and I just can't see the pictures!

I think he's trying to sneak in a new guessing game under the radar so he doesn't get mocked again. Nice try!

Maybe Sim needs to split this thread into 3:

Guess the Movie Screenshot
Guess the Movie Character's Tweet

and, since we've got everything else, Guess the Movie Quote :p

And still you wouldn't be able to guess a single movie. :D

I thought that I would change it up to make it more accessible. Clearly it did not work, because now I have isolated Chlidonias. :eek:

So far we have:

1. The Matrix (remember Neo? The saviour? He had a choice between the blue and the red pill.) [Pygathrix]

2. Die Hard (remember Nakatomi Towers? The hostages? John McClane had no shoes and cut his feet on the broken glass.) [Pygathrix]

3. ?

4. Fast and the Furious Part 1 (remember the drag race? Vin Diesel was driving a red RX-7. He beat Paul Walker who had to hand over his pink slip - ie ownership of his car.) [montagne14 gets half a point]

5. Pygathrix is on the right track, but wrong movie.

are you saying its one of the Man With No Name trilogy? (I'm surprised you even know Clint Eastwood was in spaghetti westerns to be honest; or did you pick that up from Back To The Future 3?)

Number 3 is Troy. Did you watch the movie nanoboy? (Be truthful, now). I never have and I never will, so I (with awesome cleverfulness) figured it out even without pictorial help. As Hans Gruber said, "the benefits of a classical education".

Dude! Of course I know the trilogy! I have seen them many times. It is from one of three movies. The guy was in a bathtub when he uttered those words. Who keeps a gun in the tub whilst bathing??

Troy is one of my favourite movies. My brother and I know most of the lines word for word. Yes, it was Troy. Achilles goes to the walls of Troy after Hector kills Patroclus, demanding Hector fights him.

Ok, so what's the tally? Who goes next?

PS* Javan Rhino: I thought of using movie quotes, but that would be too easy to Google.

He lives in Hokitika on some rock near Antarctica, I don't think you'll make him feel any more isolated :)

5. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ?

Haha.

Anyway, Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo is correct. Over to you for some movies - you got the most correct.

[Is anyone into The Dark Tower series by Stephen King?]
 
and seeing we're talking Die Hard, the fifth part of the series (er, A Good Day To Die Hard....seriously) is starting filming. On this link are photos of the two Russian villains: 'A Good Day To Die Hard' Finds Villains In Sebastian Koch & Model/Actress Yulia Snigir | The Playlist

...and in unrelated news, Terminator 5 will also be supposedly starting production sometime soon, as will (already?) Mad Max 4 and 5 (being filmed back-to-back).

When you run out of ideas, I guess a sequel is always a good bet. Except for Terminator, surely the actors are older than Moses by now? Maybe they will just make a cameo appearance. :confused:
