Steven Dickson:

Non, ce n’est pas Le Samourai.

Do I at least get partial credit for getting the director right?

Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Absolutely. I was in two minds about saying how close you were but thought that would give the game away.

Zepo1a:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Nope. The 40:40 and 60:60 aren’t very helpful either, but 80:80 is a dead giveaway.

40:40

60:60

Koyaanisqatsi

Steven_Dickson · 2011-12-10T13:44:55.000Z

Oops, double post.

Got it!

Here’s 80:80

TimElhajj · 2011-12-10T13:52:21.000Z

Now that is a dead giveaway!

While flipping around the channels last night, I saw that movie on tv. Weird.

Jasper_Phillips · 2011-12-10T15:01:08.000Z

That’s a tough movie to pick out without the music! Well, except for the 80:80 frame. ;-)

Steven_Dickson · 2011-12-10T15:52:59.000Z

Yeah, the final scene with the rocket blowing up and then endlessly tumbling back to Earth while Philip Glass’ superb soundtrack plays in the background is one of the most memorable film-watching experiences I have had. I remember sitting there for a few minutes after the film ended, looking at the blank screen, digesting what I had just seen. Good choice!

Here’s the next 20:20. This one will probably be picked off pretty quickly.

anonymgeist · 2011-12-10T15:57:21.000Z

Ummm… A Christmas Carol?

Gordon_Cameron · 2011-12-10T18:25:27.000Z

Great Expectations?

Thongsy · 2011-12-10T18:57:43.000Z

It’s a Wonderful Life?

Steven_Dickson · 2011-12-10T23:59:11.000Z

No, none of those are correct I’m afraid.

Here’s the 40:40.

Since it looks like this film may be more difficult than I thought, I’ll be kind-hearted and give a clue: it’s British and features one of British films’ best known and most versatile actors.

Kind Hearts and Coronets?

This game would be impossible with any Michael Bay movie

John Merva:

Kind Hearts and Coronets?

It is, well done.

And since it’s one of my favourite films, I can’t resist posting the 60:60 and 80:80 for completeness.

60:60

80:80

John_Merva · 2011-12-12T03:40:13.000Z

Tragically, I must again bow out of the game by virtue of being in the wrong county with little access to technology to post screeshots. Could somebody please step up for me? Thanks!

Valentine · 2011-12-12T07:41:22.000Z

Easy one cause I like the movie!
