Film experts, do you know the name of this film?

ya' havin' that one dave 30 Nov 20:00
ive read out the clues to some series movie fans and not a clue, great cast and director? that cant be true


It is all true.
And don't forget clue 15 whih has now been added.
Read it out to the same serious movie fans ;)

it's ok j man, just when i thought i had it one of the clues didn't fit

is it a spoof/comedy?

NO
MORE
CLUES
TONIGHT



Clue 16 is very good and will be posted at midnight if you really need it.

I shouldn't stay up til midnight as am at the "other" office tomorrow

I don't think my manager will take this for an excuse for when I arrive late if I was to stay up at midnight

In fairness, I don't think your manager with guess this either. So he should take it as an excuse. P.s. this movie was never made.

it's a she

only made one sexual innuendo with her in the pub once and she laughed so I think am all right

yea I think this thread is a major wind-up too

actress in this film won best actress oscar

;)

i don't get half of the clues but alice doesn't live here anymore.

That could be it?

we have a winner..easter

girls name..alice
pop star..alice cooper
director scorcese
oscar for**burstyn

Did this happen in that movie...

"A scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits"


Tried to youtube it (bit before my time).

from what i remember the beginning of the film is very much like wizard of oz..hence the strawman

But the OP was referring to a specific scene which I don't think was in Alice doesn't live here anymore. According to imdb there is a heads-up to Alice in Wonderland - but I'm not sure if this is the correct flick

That was the first one I thought of but it didn't seem to add up with the totality of the clues imo.

After all that and not even the same film ya doopy cants

well i dunno whether im right duchy but this was my guess...journeyman will fill us in

Fair enough redbag - we'll wait to see what journeyman has to say (perhaps the scene was in one of those DVD extras that they found years later) ;)

Clue 1 - the film has a strong connection to something widely reported that happened this week.
????????????

Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title.
Check

Clue 3 - It has a connection with Sci fi / Outer space
???????????

Clue 4 - The film title quite obviously changes a number for something intangible
?????????????????

Clue 5 - The film's most famous scene (aside from the previously mentioned murderous dwarf) involves levitation and cheap jewellery
???????????????

Clue 6 - It has a girl's name in the title
Check

Clue 7 - The film features dance sequences and weaponary that neither stabs or shoots
??????????????

Clue 8 its a very well known film
Check

Clue 9 it has a great cast
Check

Clue 10 its directed by one of the top directors on earth
Check

Clue 11 its got a great soundtrack
Check

Clue 12 In one scene a scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits
????????????

clue 13 starts with letter A, ends with E and has more than four words in it
Check

Clue 14 No number in the title

Clue 15 Features one of the most famous flying sequences in the history of film but your parents probably haven't seen it

Here's the opening scene on youtube: http://tinyurl.com/ydb6qzh

No such movie as outlined above but I'd say the OP is referring to some B movie made in the 70's/80's that was shown on Zone Horror a few years ago.

Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title.
Check

Alice Cooper's biggest hit was in 1972 called School's Out and he was a
rock singer.
No way would I have him down as an '80s popstar'.

Alice doesn't live here anymorE


do I get any money?

Clue 14 No number in the title
Check

Clue 15 Features one of the most famous flying sequences in the history of film but your parents probably haven't seen it
?????????????????????

Think red may be thinking of a diff film.

'Think about why the film has become as well known as it has recently...
that is where there is a connection with outer space'

Recently became well-known?

The original poster may be thinking of a Terry Gilliam or Monty Python related film. I thought it might be Time Bandit.

I think I was probably closer with American Pie The Naked Mile. At least that had a dwarf kicking the crap out of someone! :)

Why can I not be correct?

Sounded like it could have been something from a director like Werner Herzog.

Because Easter was an hour before ya - unless you are Easter

damn it, but cheers

It's midnight and time to say

Well done to....

Journeyman!

:^0

...Guybrush, Brodie and everyone who actually read the clues

'Alice doesn't live here anymore' is a class film with a great director, soundtrack and more
but
it's NOT the correct answer.

Sorry redbag (but thanks for your contributions anyway.
Bizarrely your clues fitted in very well until the Oscar one)

rightio journeyman...............AM the government, you're full of sh!t, you're ahhhat!

What's the Oscar clue?

Up until yesterday evening I'd have bet hard cash that Redbag had the right film.
So I let his clues ride on that basis.

Now I think a couple need slightly adjusted, which should be informative in itself.

Here we go with the alterations AND clue 17.
-------------------------------------------------------

Okay it's really clue 15. What a mess. Let's tidy it up.

Clue 1 - the film has a strong connection to something widely reported that happened this week.

Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title.

Clue 3 - It has a connection with Sci fi / Outer space

Clue 4 - The film title quite obviously changes a number for something intangible

Clue 5 - The film's most famous scene (aside from the previously mentioned murderous dwarf) involves levitation and cheap jewellery

Clue 6 - It has a girl's name in the title
REDBAG's FIRST CLUE. 100% ACCURATE

Clue 7 - The film features dance sequences and weaponary that neither stabs or shoots

Clue 8 - Specific scenes are extremely well known, although the full film was successful when it came out
ALTERED VERSION OF REDBAG'S SECOND CLUE

Clue 9 - it has a great cast
REDBAG's THIRD CLUE. 100% ACCURATE

Clue 10 - Its director and star are popular and prolific and its star is very well known
ALTERED VERSION OF REDBAG'S FOURTH CLUE

Clue 11 - Its got a great soundtrack
REDBAG's FIFTH CLUE. 100% ACCURATE

Clue 12 In one scene a scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits

clue 13 - starts with letter A, ends with E and has more than four words in it

Clue 14 - No number in the title

Clue 15 - Features one of the most famous flying sequences in the history of film but your parents probably haven't seen it

Clue 16 - Something in the film is SILVER when it should be very obviously more valuable

-------------------------------------

Game on, boys and girls

One last thing.
Please stop suggesting this is a wind-up or a non existent film.
If it had been a wind-up I'd have admitted it on Friday.
This is a real movie, all the clues are fair and you should be able to work it out.

p.s. It's december, get your advent calendars out. (No that's not a clue)

LOL

I'll tell you what Shrew D. To reward your efforts thus far, I'll make you an exclusive offer
...as I admire the wild eyed zeal you have shown for the quest.

You and you alone can choose ONE of the first five clues.
I will then give a much more detailed and informative version of that clue.

Choose a clue you're struggling with and choose carefully.
COME ON PEOPLE!! What is the film?

bloody everywere

clue 2

Absence of Malice?

Air Force One?

i cant fit all the clues to these but the one i can fit it with is A-E

How about you let us know what year the film was?

return of the jedi?

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Seeing as it's Blackjacking's birthday, I will let him choose a year.
I will then answer whetehr the film was made earlier or later than that year.
Obviously if hits the bullseye he chooses the exact year I'll be forced to admit it.

Conditions - he must choose a year within the next ten minutes and NOBODY must suggest a year to him

all the boys love mandy lane - 2006

All the Boys love mandy lane was a great little horror flick.
I'd recommend it to anyone who was put off by the reviews. I loved it.

Not the right answer but thanks for playing! :)

is it animated

All the Boys love mandy lane is sh1t

It's watchable, but not very memorable!!

I liked it a lot. plausible enough to be actually a bit chilling
as opposed to most unbelievable horror films

2 minutes, birthday boy. Lol.

Time up

Wrong answers so far (mostly good guesses though)

American Pie 5 The Naked Mile
Austin Powers the Spy who**ged me
Ant in the Hole
Attack Of The Killer Zombie Garden Dwarfs From Space :^0
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (V.Gd)
Absence of Malice
Air Force One

------------
Ok enough of this tosh. I'm signing off.
Laters ...

(dwarf)

i think i would know this from clues 6, 10 and 13 alone - the fact i do not makes me suspicious you are having a jolly - goodnight.

i`ll say 1982 for the year JM

The levitation, jewellery, silver, flying seqence makes me think of Aladdin,
if it's got some subtitle ending in 'e'

Long shot

Journeyman is having you on...and for JimGee not to know it proves it.

anal surprise for kim wilde?

soundtrack is a bit muzak i concede.

feck me ive got home to find i was way off track :(

i cant wait to find out what it is, i will be straight on amazon to buy it, if they have any left that is

Birthday present for blackjacking as promised.. :)

Clue 17. The film was made earlier than 1982

Wrong answers so far (mostly good guesses though)

American Pie 5 The Naked Mile
Austin Powers the Spy who**ged me
Ant in the Hole
Attack Of The Killer Zombie Garden Dwarfs From Space
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Absence of Malice
Air Force One
A*** surprise for Kim Wilde
All the Boys love Mandy Lane

Shrew D has still to choose a clue to be expanded.
the delay means he can now only choose from the first 4. Hurry up Shrew D.

I've just returned from a 4 day business trip in Barcelona to this weather and this thread i can't believe it's still going.
By the way the dwarf was not involved in the attack on the man made of straw only the third party was.The third party was upset at the dwarf being called shorty after assisting the straw man in some way who then said "thank you shorty". The third party said words similar to "that makes me f+cking mental" (yes he did actually use the F word which might help with pinpointing the year of release). Thanks for all of your interest so far forumites.

probably some Scottish film then

Think you've got the wrong film there jugador.

Think you've got the wrong film there jugador.


ermmmmmmmmm it was Judador's thread

Really

wind up thread, but we knew that all along

oh dear, end of thread :-) Fish and *****for everyone.

yeeeey! plenty of vinegar please!

we need a wrap up party!

journeyman why don´t you just say what film you THINK jugador was trying to remember and he can tell you if you are right?

lol

theres is no film...

this thread is like a scene from the deadliest catch

i cant believe i got roped into this, good effort journey man, great commitment.

There is a film containing the description i gave, i think, however it was a long time ago and might just be a sketch in an American comedy show. I have no idea what Journeyman was thinking of.
From what i can remember though it was in the style of Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor comedy.

top secet had a scarecrow in it...

Disappointing. Don't understand this fishing sh1t.

Very sad that Journeyman didn't post the name of the film he was thinking of.

Where are you Journeyman?

JUGADOR MEJOR 08 Dec 15:57
Where are you Journeyman?

after the fool he made out of himself, i doubt he'll post again for a while

Real shame that, i would like to know what he was thinking of. Should i post "dwarf" to cheer him up?

sure why not, it's christmas after all :)

Disappointing. Don't understand this fishing sh1t.



I find it pretty annoying myself.
I'm also struggling to think of any fishing thread I've been involved in.
So to be accused of it when I stated that the film was real became a bit tiring.

The main thing though is that my film does not appear to be the same as the OP's dream/sketch/fantasy
so I'd rather leave this thread for him to follow his original enquiry.

However, for those who already invested time and effort in my clues
I will post a succession of actual screencaps from the film every day from tomorrow.

I also promise to reveal the name of the film on Christmas Eve, clearly on this forum.
I do hope someone will work it out by then and restore my faith in humanity..

And that is my last post on this thread.
Take care...till tomorrow ;)

I think I'm getting it straight now.
The OP had the scenario of a dwarf ,a strawman and a normal guy who beat up the strawman becuse the strawman insulted the dwarf.
Journeyman has in mind a film where the dwarf beat up the strawman.
What are the chances of us not knowing either film! :D

Got to the point where don't really care

So sad :(

Ok I now have Jugador abusing me in other parts of the forum.

My intention in taking the rest of the clues off this thread was to leave it clear for you to find out the name of your own film/sketch.
Which is why I haven't posted here in over a week..!

I only posted here in the first place because I genuinely thought we were on the same page in terms of the film.
However Jugador is now esposing some theory that I'm hijacking his threads(?)
(I have only ever posted on two of his threads including this one ffs..)

However I can see that prolonging this is just going to add to the negativity
and there's no fun in for me or anyone in that scenario.

So I will post the answer on Christmas Eve as promised.
And yes I'll post it on this thread as you seem to be begging Jugador

Saves me the hassle of posting the screencaps etc so everybody's happy.
It was fun for a while but I have no interest in being stalked by some dribbling, psychotic w@nker.

I have not been stalking you, look in the mirror Mr. Stalker, who is on whose thread.
You made it blatently clear from the start that you were not going to post your answer to this thread because you don't like me, thereby making all of the other forumites suffer with your petty teasing puzzles.
The cherry on the cake for myself and others was that you were wrong and did not read the original post correctly, is that anyone else's fault but your own.
I suggest you grow up and stop acting like a little girl with your stupid "I'll post the answer on christmas eve" Cr@p and keep it to yourself.

soy simplemente el mejor, el Jugador Mejor !!!!!

From OP Jugador Mejor

don't want to get involved, but it's true that it's silly posting it on christmas eve

I'm sure a lot of us won't be able to see this thread on xmas eve, I know I won't and won't be back on betfair until a few days later

and this thread will probably be gone, and I'll have forgotten about it

In a way i feel sad that my link started this lunatics rantings off. I have tried to act in a mature manner and he keeps on winding up the other forumites. If i knew the answer to his puzzles i would post them straight away, unfortunately i don't. I can only apologise if you feel i am partly to blame and hope that you get your reply soon. If not i will gubb this thread back to the top in the new year.

Sorry to all.

Punterfleecer I think that's a fair point.
I'll make sure the answer is posted well before Christmas Eve.

As the OP of this thread has now asked me not to post here (make up your mind) I have relocated as per original plan.
