Raising Arizona?

JoshL · 2021-07-21T01:17:59.328Z

Negative. Nobody in this movies wears pajamas with little Yodas on them.

JoshL · 2021-07-21T15:27:28.603Z

Distant relatives, or closer than they look.
A kidnapping coordinated by two different species
Mom’s coat
Home renovations by non-professionals
Family history, er, histories.

Djscman · 2021-07-21T16:10:33.987Z

Uh… The Rescuers?

JoshL · 2021-07-21T16:14:11.623Z

Nope.

ArtVandelay · 2021-07-21T17:23:37.001Z

Jupiter Ascending?

(I never watched Jupiter Ascending, but vaguely remember a review)

JoshL · 2021-07-21T17:25:26.374Z

No. It’s an interesting guess, that probably does fit a lot of the clues, despite being very, very wrong. I don’t think it fits “Mom’s coat” though.

ArtVandelay · 2021-07-21T17:29:40.486Z

Still a better result than I expected!

dtolman · 2021-07-21T17:40:58.389Z

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit?

JoshL · 2021-07-21T17:56:40.240Z

Also no. Closer than Jupiter Ascending, I think, but still pretty far. Certainly closer geographically.

JoshL · 2021-07-21T22:14:02.334Z

Distant relatives, or closer than they look.
A kidnapping coordinated by two different species
Mom’s coat, hidden, then found
Home renovations by non-professionals
Family history, er, histories.

That’s probably a giveaway if you’ve seen it, but maybe nobody has, and shame on you for that. But now I know why I didn’t do this movie before.

I forgot that it’s probably better in this game to do tricky clues to a movie everyone has seen, rather than broad clues to a movie only a few have seen, because maybe nobody has seen it!

JoshL · 2021-07-22T14:57:41.417Z

Really? Ok, uh…

Distant relatives, or closer than they look.
A kidnapping coordinated by two different species
Mom’s coat, hidden, then found
Home renovations by non-professionals
Family history, er, histories.
Based on a book, but the setting changed from one UK constituent to another.

Djscman · 2021-07-22T15:09:57.084Z

101 Dalmatians?

JoshL · 2021-07-22T15:26:45.657Z

Did that happen to 101 Dalmatians? Anyway, no.This movie contains zero Dalmatians.

JoshL · 2021-07-22T21:52:51.428Z

Ok, this is the ninth clue. Running out of time…

Distant relatives, or closer than they look.
A kidnapping coordinated by two different species
Mom’s coat, hidden, then found
Home renovations by non-professionals
Family history, er, histories.
Based on a book, but the setting changed from one UK constituent to another.
"The sea gives. The sea takes away."

JoshL · 2021-07-23T15:09:13.816Z

Ok, final clue.

Distant relatives, or closer than they look.
A kidnapping coordinated by two different species
Mom’s coat, hidden, then found
Home renovations by non-professionals
Family history, er, histories.
Based on a book, but the setting changed from one UK constituent to another.
“The sea gives. The sea takes away.”
The title of this movie is… er, just kidding
Young girl protagonist goes to live with her grandparents in the country

dtolman · 2021-07-23T15:24:38.526Z

Uh… I got nothing.

Gordon_Cameron · 2021-07-23T15:30:53.113Z

The Secret of Roan Inish?

JoshL · 2021-07-23T15:37:45.223Z

Oh thank goodness. @Gordon_Cameron comes to my rescue!

Yes, it is the John Sayles film Pirhana. I mean, The Secret of Roan Inish. Seriously, I beg you all to watch this movie, and then, if you don’t like it, don’t tell me, because I would be crushed. I’m not even going to explain my clues, because I’ve already given away too much (although less than the trailer…)

Take it away from me, @Gordon_Cameron!

Gordon_Cameron · 2021-07-23T16:53:39.278Z

I haven’t seen it, at least not all of it, but my nieces were big fans. Maybe I can watch it with my daughter when she’s a bit older. If she likes it we can move on to The Return of the Secaucus 7!

Next movie:

Coffee machine
Blow dryer
Flamethrower
Headphones
VCR
