Guess the Movie from the Screenshot Game

[Chef99]

That's Peter Lorre, right? About as far as I can get.

 

[Melman]

Then I'll guess your About Schmidt and give you a classic to guess.

Is that M?

 

[Taddy Mason]

Is that M?

That it is. Figured if he's taking intro to Film, Fritz Lang isn't a bad cat to know about.

We have watched some boring and bad movies so far, mainly documentaries. My favorite movie we watched was the 1939 film "Only Angels Have Wings" with Cary Grant

What films so far?

In order (a lot of them are unknown documentaries and/or independent films you wouldn't know, so I'll include the year if is an esoteric film and I'll give all my ratings):

Daughter's Rite (1980): 0/5
Only Angels Have Wings (1939): 3/5
Citizen Kane: 2/5
Miracle Mile (2004): 4/5
High School (1968): 0.5/5

And I have to watch a documentary called "AKA Don Bonus" tonight. I'll let you know how that goes.

Citizen Kane only 2 out of 5?

Great movie.

Never heard of the 2004 short Miracle Mile. Only two I caught on that list were Only Angles Have Wings and Citizen Kane. Howard Hawks has a lot of good flicks out there.

Great movie.

I understand I'll get a lot of shit for that rating whenever I talk to people; I just didn't personally enjoy it. It reminded me of The Sopranos a bit, in that, it featured groundbreaking elements of cinema like flashing backwards and forwards and foreshadowing that were great at the time, yet movies 80 years later have been much better at through no fault of Citizen Kane. I will say that there were some interesting and bad ass shots, and Wells did a great job acting. I just didn't like Thatcher as a character, or Mr. Leyland.

The Sopranos was one of, if not the, first hour-long drama series on TV featuring a morally-ambiguous criminal main character. Revolutionary, but Breaking Bad and House of Cards, etc. have mastered it, IMO

Did you like OAHW? I mildly enjoyed it, particularly Dutchie and Cary Grant's character, along with the blond dame, Judy something or another

This may or may not be a tough one
