Maybe it’s The Locked Door.
The door is not Green so presumably there is nothing behind it.

I propose you never give out further clues.
It could be The Boy Next Door or The Girl Next Door, but it’s definitely not Sliding Doors.
It’s The Adjustment Bureau. Don’t race out that door in your fedora!
I could be wrong, but Closed Curtain (Is that even what that is?)
Sorry. Got delayed by a visit from my 3-week-old niece.
Oh, is it that Annabelle movie? The one that’s a sequel to The Conjuring?
-Tom
Tom wins. Annabelle, starring Annabelle Wallis (no relation).

80
Ha ha, you saw Annabelle? I can’t imagine there was much redeeming value in a standalone spin-off starring the creepy doll.
I’ll post a new 20:20 tomorrow.
-Tom
In what movie will you see this at the 20:20?
-Tom
That collar screams 18 century man. Is it Gettysburg?
Is that Hopkins? If so, every other movie he made was a period piece. Facial hair and bald wigs aside, that could be anything from Legends of the Fall to Amistad.
I think I’m going to go with The Bounty.
Well, this wasn’t likely to go beyond the 40:40, where some idiot decided to spoil the name of the movie by writing it on a frickin’ boat.
The boozed up ship’s doctor seems to really want to be in the 60:60.
More dinner at the 80:80. Lots of people have dinner in this movie.
The 100:100 is post-mutiny, when Captain Bly and his faithful few get to deal with these ornery natives while Fletcher Christian is having sexytime with his hawt topless Polynesian honey.
That’s Bernard Hill right there, who you probably know as Theoden, and who also plays the Duke of Norfolk in the excellent Wolf Hall, which just began on PBS last week. You’ll also find Dexter Fletcher, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis in this movie. Also in this scene, one of Bly’s men meets a particularly horrifying fate getting bashed and speared to death by smiling cheering natives. That always freaked me out when I saw this movie as a kid.
And here’s the considerably less than triumphant return of Captain Bly at the 120:120.
So, yes, it is indeed The Bounty, Roger Donaldson’s languid and beautifully shot take on the classic Mutiny on the Bounty, with a be-ponytailed Mel Gison as Fletcher Christian and Anthony Hopkins in fine form as Captain Bly and a dreamy Vangelis soundtrack.
Over to you, Tin Wisdom. You may kiss the gunner’s daughter!

I should just point out that it’s Captain Bligh. But I haven’t seen that movie for some reason, and I love that genre and the story, so off to… er… wow! We have Netflix now! Surely it’s on there somewhere…
OK, this could conceivably go to past the 20, which I believe would be a first for me:
I doubt it, that looks like Alien3.
Is this one of those crazy foreigner spellings, like in England and Canada and such?
I don’t think you can actually win unless you can figure out a way to do the superscript with bbcode.
Ah well. I was hoping that no one other than Tom or myself liked that movie enough to watch it.
Here’s the 40, which features possibly the most British sets of men’s boots ever conceived.
The 60, which could also have been from GI Jane.
The 80, which… I honestly don’t know what’s going on in this scene. Charles Dutton is hitting her with a wrench or something, but he’s really, really sorry about it. I need to watch the movie again - it’s really one of my favorites but no one else wants to see it with me, which makes me lonely and sad.
The 100. Yay, an alien!
No 120, but here’s the awful ending shot where Ripley is tenderly clutching the chest-burster to herself in a weird parody of motherly bliss as she falls into molten metal and Lance Hendriksen yells “Nooooooo!” in the background. Terrible, but the rest of the movie is pretty damned good. Very WH40K/Rogue Trooper, and I like that stuff. No, I’m not sorry.
