That shot reminds me of the infamous Exorcist 3 hallway scene, but of course it’s not that.
OK, a woman in bed that no one recognizes and a hallway shot…this one may give it away.
The Sixty:
San Francisco and Robert Vaughn. So where’s McQueen been hiding in these frames? Or did they replace him with Rick Dalton using CGI?
Oh, and the answer is BULLITT.
Leo pushed for it, but Tarantino backhanded him.
The Eighty:
The Hundred:
“You believe what you want. You work your side of the street, and I’ll work mine, @Woolen_Horde.”
I spent a decade living in San Francisco. Like many movie chases, the car chase in Bullitt makes absolutely no sense geographically if you’re familiar with the area. But I did used to drive the Guadalupe Canyon Parkway to and from work. Love that road. It feels like you’re in the middle of the mountains, but if you climb the ridge, San Francisco (well, Daly City and then San Francisco) is splayed out in front of you.

I’ve seen this movie but I’m drawing a blank.

Wonder Woman?
Edit: Ah, not that, but it led me to the right guess.
Which seems Skipper got.
Skipper gets me. The first question you should always ask if Woolen Horde is posting a 20:20 movie is “Is it a Keira Knightley movie?”
Yes, The Imitation Game. A totally by-the-numbers prestige period piece about Europeans and WW2. I’m not surprised you couldn’t remember it, @marquac. (Also, the police detective in the 20:20 is also the Prime Minister who, ummm, porks the pig in the very first Black Mirror episode, The National Anthem.) Frankly, someone should just adapt Cryptonomicon, because it covers the same ground and much more and is a million times more entertaining, but that’s pretty much impossible.
Unfortunately, Ms. Knightley is nowhere to be found in these screens. Sigh.
40:40
60:60 Dr. Strange appears!
80:80 And here’s Ozymandius!

Well ya know, I haven’t even seen it. I saw a WW2 insignia on that uniform and a guy at a desk using either a code machine or teletype and took a guess. I didn’t know Keira Knightley is in it, now I kinda want to watch it.
Any good?
New 20 up in a bit.
I would say it’s meh, but there are worse ways to spend two hours.

Not the Interview. Good guess though.

Holy cow, Long Shot is already out on streaming or something?

Long Shot is indeed streaming on Amazon Prime. Excellent guess, sir!
When you sit down for a Seth Rogen movie you expect two things: stoner laughs and silly plots. This one was mostly the latter, but it made for a good belly laugh or three of comedic situations. And to be quite honest, not because of Seth, but because Charlize Theron holds her own switching off from the comedic straight to the comedic lead at times, bringing up the overall level of this romantic comedy to passable.
Did I say romcom? Yes, and they actually make it funny. Without her I’m not sure this movie would be worth watching. But it was fun for a medicated brownie kind of night with the GF.
The overall plot follows a nobody guy getting a job working for a past high school crush. Record scratch moment: she’s considering running for office. Comedy ensues.
The 40, Seth gets the job and he’s in over his head:
The 60, requisite romcom sex scene:
The 80, requisite Seth Rogen movie drug scene, with a twist:
The 100, another requisite, the jealous moment right before getting back together scene:
Over to you @dwinn!
