Lounge Movie Game: Guess the Film from the Scene Description

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

A man goes alone to dine at a restaurant. When he announces he is a party of only one, the waiter makes a HUGE production of whisking away all the other place settings at his table with a big flourish. As the man begins to eat, a spotlight is shone on him, eating alone.

[Richardo]

1. The Lonely Guy?

A birthday party on a tropical hotel balcony, where the guests discuss the future of the country they're in.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. Yes on Lonely Guy. Yours is Godfather II, carving up the Cuba cake.

[Richardo]

3. Love that scene.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. Here's another. Maitre'D at snooty Southern California restaurant L'Idiot requires reviews each

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

7. Hmmm.. "Office Space" perhaps? A bit of a guess.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. My other guess on this is "Half Baked" if it's not "Office Space".

[Hawkeye-X]

127. Half Baked is right!

:)

14. After learning the land was sold to the United Fruit Co., sugar cane farmer sets fire to his fields.

[begin_within]

119. Wow.... you are a true cinema fan.

That's a rarely-seen film but deserves to be widely shown. I think DUers would absolutely love it.

[LibDemAlways]

213. Wasn't it a joint Soviet/Cuban production?

I saw it in a film class back in college. Your description triggered a distant memory.

[begin_within]

221. Yes it was, and that's why you hear English, Spanish and Russian all the way through

either on the soundtrack or in the subtitles. It wan't shown in the U.S. until 30 years after it was made. Martin Scorcese and Francis Coppola helped to get it released and promoted it in the mid-1990s.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058604/

[yurbud]

216. if I was president, my central american foreign policy would be to buy United Fruit

and give the pieces to the people in those countries--and maybe give them the executives and major shareholders to use as pickers and burros for the rest of their natural lives.

[begin_within]

222. Great idea - but this was Cuba under Bautista and one of the reasons for Castro's revolution

31. It was "Salt of the Earth" (1954)

[sasquatch]

300. I saw that movie with my grandfather

Helluva film

[yurbud]

157. I saw that--brutal. I've watched a couple of other labor movies since like Harlin County

it's hard to believe people in America are that poor and that shit on.

But then the company in Harlin county was one of the ones that turned out the lights here in California: Duke Energy. So they promoted themselves from just screwing the working class to screwing EVERYBODY.

[begin_within]

21. Unable to get an order of toast, diner customer clears table with one quick motion

[rucky]

26. Five Easy Pieces?

[begin_within]

29. yep

[LibDemAlways]

74. My favorite movie scene - and filmed right in my

area at a Denny's that was demolished a couple of years ago.

[begin_within]

78. How could they have destroyed a piece of American cultural history!

[LibDemAlways]

81. I'm glad that scene exists because it was filmed overlooking

a stretch of the 101 freeway that was, at the time, mostly undeveloped and pastoral. Today it's a sea of office parks, strip malls, motels, and billboards. Damn shame.

[begin_within]

85. That's really sad... but so common.

[begin_within]

293. What city and state was that Denny's in?

Just curious for the record.

[begin_within]

22. In the middle of a Catholic mass, elderly man is questioned about a robbery, but then escapes

[begin_within]

23. Donkey who accidentally encountered traveling circus performs mathematical tricks in show

[mitchum]

104. "Au Hasard Balthazar"

[begin_within]

121. I am impressed!

Another rarely-seen film in the U.S., but considered a masterpiece. You know your European films.

[mitchum]

126. Believe it or not, I first saw the film as a kid in a Methodist church basement...

my parents' congregation had a hip young minister for a couple of years in the late 60s :)
Bresson is so good. I watched "Pickpocket" again just a few months ago.

[begin_within]

132. Other good ones by Bresson include:

"Diary of a Country Priest"
"A Man Escaped"
"L'Argent"

A great director, completely ignored by Hollywood and the Oscars.

[mitchum]

145. I think the only person in Hollywood even aware of Bresson...

is director and screenwriter Paul Schrader. His book "Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer: Transcendental Style In Film" is very good. You can also see Bresson's influence in so much of Schrader's own work. And, of course, Schrader's work is also very good.

[begin_within]

152. Ozu is another favorite of mine.

"Tokyo Story" is one of the monuments of cinema, I think.

[begin_within]

24. 20-year-old man gives ring to 80-year-old woman, and she tosses it in a lake

[begin_within]

56. It was "Contact"

[begin_within]

66. But, I could see how "2001" might be interpreted that way,

with the signal emitted from the monolith found on the moon. So consider your answer correct as well.

Full title is actually "Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut"

[begin_within]

83. At a pool - a woman asks an obviously white guy if he's black

[Danger Mouse]

133. I even have the music from that scene playing in my head right now...

:P I'm a Sergio Leone fan, what can I say?

[begin_within]

139. He was brilliant, though a little bit over-the-top, not really a practitioner of subtlety.

[Danger Mouse]

143. I happen to enjoy over the top...if you can make it work well, then it'll work well regardless.

His lack of subtlety was arguably one of his greatest strengths. And damn, could he ever set a scene. The Leone/Morricone team-up is in my mind the finest director/composer matchup in film history.

[begin_within]

144. I'm glad they gave a "lifetime" Oscar to Morricone this year.

I just hope they give one of those "lifetime" Oscars to Eli Wallach. He should have gotten an Oscar for "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" as he gave a knockout performance. Another great director/composer matchup was Hitchcock/Hermann.

[Danger Mouse]

149. Ah, yes, that is another great one.

I like Burton/Elfman, too, myself ;)

[begin_within]

151. yeah.

It's amazing how a director and composer can have a meeting of the minds like in these examples.

and planes.

cheap.

[Lionel Mandrake]

280. I overheard some morons who took that movie seriously

as a warning about what could happen if we don't pay more attention to the commie menace.

[yurbud]

114. when the police come to investigate a shooting, would be killers are shocked when victim walks in

screen caps of it.

Of that very scene in fact!

[Danger Mouse]

136. Movie title? ;)

One of my favorites, no less.

[Twillig]

137. Only at the point of dyin' (n/t) :-)

[Danger Mouse]

141. I have the soundtrack, as well.

I consider it to be Leone's best, though 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' and 'Once Upon a Time in America' are also fantastic.

[Twillig]

146. My favorite scene from GBU is Tuco in the graveyard

sad (so many graves) and exhilarating!(swag!) camera spinning!

Upcoming violence!

Fucking A!

And in OUaTitW , as a viewer, I have never wanted to be an accomplice to a killing more than I did here:

DIE MOTHERFUCKER!

[Danger Mouse]

150. Have to say, Fonda played that SOB to the hilt...

has to be one of the best villains in movie history, imho.

[begin_within]

155. Also the scene with Tuco and his priest brother...

...brilliant

[Lionel Mandrake]

281. A History of Violence

[Danger Mouse]

365. 'Once Upon a Time in the West' was the one I was thinking of.

[Danger Mouse]

255. If you know it, you know it. And it is a lovely scene...

from a lovely film.

[Danger Mouse]

[bertha katzenengel]

329. Yep! "What's your major, town tramp?"

:bounce: Great movie. And Ricci was terrific. I also loved her in "The Addams Family."

This is driving me MAD!

Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, Mickey Rooney, John Carradine! Thank you for making me remember this film!

Though "Cabin Boy" was pretty funny... Whatever happened to Chris Elliot?

[flying rabbit]

316. You're welcome

I think Chris Eliott is still kicking around. Cabin boy was one of those over the top bad movies that people either appreciate its stank or don't.I use it as a benchmark to test peoples humor.

[Nevernose]

317. There's no such thing as a benchmark for humor

Either the world is an absurdist comedy, or it's not. There's really not much difference between "Cabin Boy" and "Waiting for Godot," or "Hamlet" for that matter.

Have you ever read/seen the ending for "Hamlet?"

Dear LORD is that ridiculous...

[flying rabbit]
