[Maciek]

Hey, it worked!

I wonder if any of you have seen this movie? Can't imagine the dialogue being translated into another language...

But this clip is without words :

Oops, I flipped a page. Here, let me repost the unanswered questions...

From M Forever:
B

M Forever's clue:

B is one of the greatest childrens movies I know after the greatest childrens books author ever (and no, it's not "Harry Potter").

From MahlerTitan:
1.

MahlerTitan's clue:

the 1st movie is about love in a very unsual place on earth....

Not me.

[Maciek]

Excellent, Milos! You win the gold medal!

(There's still silver and bronze for those who come in second and third. )

[Lilas Pastia]

Milos, give us round two of your Quiz!

[Maciek]

André, if you can wait a couple of minutes - I'm just finishing one of my own. 0:)

[Bogey]

I'll fill in while we wait.  Which is this John Wayne western is this still from? 

Red River
The Searchers
Rio Bravo
The Comancheros
El Dorado
Rio Lobo
Chisum
All of the above

[Drasko]

All of the above, of course

Andre, I have prepared the next round but will wait for Maciek to host one 0:)

[Bogey]

All of the above, of course

Andre, I have prepared the next round but will wait for Maciek to host one 0:)

Nice job, pilgrim.  (If you actually knew it was Chisum my friend, I would have had to check my work area for spy cameras.  )

[Maciek]

Thanks, Milos.

Of course, a couple of minutes is never a couple of minutes with me. But here it is. I've divided it into 3 sections - 5 photos each. Almost all of these are personal favorites. Perhaps one or two are not but I've included them for some other reason. I guess the number fives in each group should be most difficult...? Anyway, that's why I've added the asterisks to them...

Have fun!

[Drasko]

at first look

B1 - Fellini - 8 1/2

B4 - Pasolini - Arabian Nights

C2 - Kassovitz - Assassins

C4 - Kieslowski - Three Colors Red (?)

A3, A4 and C1 look annoyingly familiar, but it's too late, tomorrow

[Lilas Pastia]

A1 is of course Méliès' L'arroseur arrosé.



I have the same feeling as Milos re: A3 A4 and C1.

The 8 1/2 shot is familiar stuff, but I'm at a loss for the rest... I don't think I' very good with colour movies.

[sidoze]

B3 is a grainy-looking shot of an Antonioni film called The Passenger. One of my favourite films.

I agree about A3, 4 and C1. I think I've seen these, or at least I know the stills.

[Drasko]

Here is ridiculously long shot for A2. I seem to remember very similar scene from De Mille's The Plainsman in which Buffalo Bill and his wife are looking through the door after Bill Hickok leaving (Gary Cooper) after discussing something about settling down (?).
But at the picture you posted that heap at the door looks like snow 
I'm probably million miles away 

[sidoze]

Is A3 an Eisenstein film?

[Lilas Pastia]

It looks like Lenin reviewing the soviet troops. But I can't place it exactly.

A4 looks like it's from a german silent film, maybe Pabst' Pandora's Box?

A3 : if that pair of shoes is the same, it's Sjöström's The Wind But it looks like she changed dresses for that shot of the final scene
     

[Maciek]

I'll be gone for a day now. Let me sum up what's been going on so far:

A1 - Méliès' L'arroseur arrosé (Lilas Pastia)

A2 - Sjostrom's The Wind (Lilas Pastia)

A3 additional shot:


A4 additional shot:


B1 - Fellini - 8 1/2 (Drasko)

B2 additional shot:


B3 - Antonioni - The Passenger (sidoze)

B4 - Pasolini - Arabian Nights (Drasko)

C1 additional shot:


C2 - Kassovitz - Assassins (Drasko)

C3 additional shot:


C4 additional shot:


A3 is not an Eisenstein film.

[Drasko]

C1 - Takeshi Kitano - Hana Bi  (slapping forehead)

C3 - Spike Jonze - Adaptation

[sidoze]

C3 - Spike Jonze - Adaptation

yep I've seen that too.

well I got less than a handful of the other films listed. It just depends what style of cinema you're interested in. I always go for the beautiful images/mystical type.

You have higher standards than me.  All I want is a movie with topless women; bottomless would be a nice bonus.

Speaking of women, there's this popular joke - What does a woman have to do to turn on a guy?  Just show up.
