Next: This movie takes place almost entirely in the protagonist's mind, and ends with a lobotomy.

[Xyzse]

If that's it, I thought that movie was just no good.

from Bill Murray.

[Xyzse]

16. Nice. The movie I referenced after yours, I think might be too hard

Since it probably was not popular.

It is one of my favorite movies however. Even though some would consider the main character a creeper.

It's hard to hear "evil force" and not think of Julie Andrews.

[hack89]

28. You are a bad bad person!

[avebury]

49. The Harry Potter books. nt

[Yavin4]

124. Yes. They were kind of sick and twisted.

Harry's childhood was filled with emotional trauma from multiple sources.

Vertigo is a better title.

158. Well, there's only one GREAT one: "HOOSIERS".

[Ron Obvious]

78. Hoosiers?

But what do I know?

I'd like to add here that my favourite historical fiction author George McDonald Frasier has a lovely explanation for "hoosier" as "who's yer..." as Lincoln speaks. He makes him come alive for me like no other writer ever has. A genius, that man.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

83. Book

Nick Haflinger is on the run from the government.

[sakabatou]

89. The Shockwave Rider?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

97. Right in one.

It was one in a trilogy of "sci-fi" books written by John Brunner- the others were Stand On Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up.

In The Shockwave Rider he was the man who first predicted the widespread use of the internet, cell phones, and computer viruses, among a few other amazingly forward-thinking concepts.

Stand On Zanzibar is a highly predictive book that is very relevant to this time, including the concept of the mucker. The mucker is a frighteningly familiar concept that has emerged in the last few years- it's a person who snaps and begins randomly killing people, not stopping his rampage until he's killed by the police.

They're humbling books, well worth reading.

[Art_from_Ark]

85. English fop secretly engages in deeds of derring-do

to save people from Madame Guillotine.

[pinboy3niner]

88. A Tale of Two Cities. nt

[Art_from_Ark]

91. Good guess, but...

While the two stories are similar, Sidney Carton in Tale of Two Cities saved only one person from the guillotine, and Carton himself was quite disheveled. The hero in the story I'm thinking about pretended to be someone who was obsessed with his appearance, but made several undercover trips into France to rescue condemned people.

[barbtries]

324. i think

the scarlet pimpernel?

[distantearlywarning]

90. They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere...

[Art_from_Ark]

93. That's the one

[sakabatou]

92. Movie: Blast Hardcheese fights against the traitor Kal.

[Chan790]

264. Space Mutiny.

Otherwise known as the worst English language science fiction movie ever made, a film with such giant continuity errors as to be somewhat incomprehensible.

That's a bit esoteric. Having seen it on MST3K, I had to Google for the correct title.

[sakabatou]

269. But it has the funniest nicknames (and I dare you to watch without laughing)

[sakabatou]

95. Movie: Robots get really bored with watching a car travel during the opening scene.

[Chan790]

266. Bound?

I think I was the only person I know who liked that movie. It was a fun crappy noir with an inventive twist in that what should have been obvious to the mafia guys (Violet and Corky stole the money) wasn't because they couldn't conceive of the idea of being bested by women or that those women could be lovers.

I shall salute you with my vessel, chalice, or flagon...as the case may be.

[betsuni]

246. I remembered a movie like this and thought Donald O'Connor, but it was Danny Kaye.

And then "Kiss Me Kate" was tangled up in there. I love this thread, could do it every day, with the chalice from the palace and flagon with the dragon.

[pinboy3niner]
