The thing is, all the films are going to be pretty famous.

Was Umbrellas of Cherbourg famous?

I think you're right about Groundhog Day, Jan.

I see the video tape but where' are the sex and the lies?

I think you're probably right about them being after famous movies - although 'Up' is far too new to be famous - isn't it?

As for Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it's a French movie and well worth checking out. It's got one of the most famous songs from the movies. Been recorded by loads of people in loads of different languages.

Forget Leon the Pig Farmer, I'm going with Delicatessen for the pig picture.

Take a look at the opening scene of Umbrellas of Cherbourg and tell me that it isn't like the clip in the video quiz.

The falling cross is rather like The Omen.

Oh gods - I keep forgetting! Did anyone say Life of Brian yet? The three crosses with the lightning bolt and an Eric Idle scream? :lol:

I think that's it more than The Omen (could also be the Mission but then you'd need a waterfall too...)

OK.

I looked at the opening scene and it isn't like the clip in the video quiz.

Happy now? :lol:

Well it's certainly nothing like Singin' in the Rain.

Captain America

Sorry I've been out all day!

Silencio is from one of my favourite films..Mullholland Drive, hence the road sign

Think you guys have got all the other ones I did.

Ooh. Ooh. Isn't that "BORAT" in there? It has a really long title.
Any use? :idea:

by **umberto** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 7:42 pm

Oh, and "Groundhog Day"... I think

Glad you said Borat, i saw that, then forgot again!

Yes - definitely Groundhog Day as those are the clock time changes for Bill Murray's alarm that went over and over.

The crosses - Life of Brian anyone? The lightning and the Python-like scream means it's not likely to be the Omen really?

by **poohcarrot** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 11:20 pm

Bruce Almighty?

by **Jan Van Quirm** » Sun Sep 26, 2010 12:40 am

Not BA no - they didn't have crosses in that did they? And that's not as well know as Brian - that scream's classic Python
