Okay, I have like no time today. Should have prepared this yesterday. So today, we’re posting trivia questions in a round robin.
If you answer a question, you can post a question. Here’s the twist: Every movie must have a place name in the title. I’ll start:
Based on a true story, which became a fictional play, which became a movie with one or two songs (but not really a musical), which became a musical play, which became a musical movie.
It absolutely qualifies as a place. Deb never said city or even geographical location.
Yes, Cinema Paradiso is a place. But that’s not the movie I’m thinking of.
She was closer (sooooo close) when she said Fellini’s Roma.
Yeah, sorry about the outburst. I was just oh so excited to be right about that. Alas, not.
Come on, folks. If you don’t guess it in 5 minutes, you’ll have to wait until 6:00 (it’s a looong commute) for me to confirm it.
Anyone??
Amarcord?
George! You got it!!
Ah, I got back from lunch in the nick of time. And, Melville, it seems we have the same taste in foreign films.
Fellini, Ozu, yes indeed.
This film features a future star in his first film appearance. He has recently finished shooting a film that ends with the same word as this first film.
Seeking clarification–the last word in the title of the new film is the one-word title of his first?
Both his first film and the soon-to-be released film have the same last word, not necessarily the same number of words. Sorry. Neither is a single word title.
And what was that word?
(just kidding.)
Do people need a clue, or is no one out there?
Turns out, if IMDB and my counting can be trusted, that this actor has been in 11 films with a proper noun place name and another 3 with a place in their titles.
I’m going with A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Yep, it’s Depp! First film: Nightmare on Elm Street, in post-production Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
It’s an acronym for a suburban place where standing still can get you killed.
L.I.E.? I mean, you’d get run over. Not that that seems to be part of the film….
nevertheless, correct.
Voyeurism and lemons.
Atlantic City
Atlantic City.
Melville, you bastid. That’s what I get for taking those extra seconds to add HTML code.
Hee! That’s okay. You can take the next question, I can’t think of a good one.
Semi-documentary thriller about corruption in Alabama. The title may seem to contain a misspelled word, but it actually doesn’t.
I do have to comment how AC can get reduced to those two words and be instantly recognizable.
Simbaud, is it The Phenix City Story?
We have a winnah!
This romantic comedy manages to also feature a secondary character who attempts suicide and is played by an actor most famous for his appearance in a different film with a place in the title.
If anyone’s out there, I’m going home and won’t see this for awhile….
That looked like fun.
