The What Film Did I Watch Quiz

[Quatermass]

Is it The Mother?

My mother and her friend went to see that movie on OAP's day at the cinema. They were so disgusted that they left.

Well, I have no idea what that film is (nor, given Tony's comments, do I want to), and it isn't.

Hmmm... should I give away a major clue? Maybe by saying what she drank?

[Who's Wee Dug]

Days of Wine and Roses.

Days of Wine and Roses.

Hell no.


Okay, big clue, probably giving the whole game away here, but the woman has just attempted suicide by drinking liquid oxygen which, being cold and corrosive, will kill you.

Have no idea what film that is, but that sounds like a nasty way to die

Well, seeing as nobody has gotten what it is so far, here's another big hint: she doesn't die, even though she tried to. And her revival is painful.

Who is the actress?

[Willem]

Is George Clooney in it?

[Tonyblack]

Solaris?

[Willem]

That's the one I was thinking of but couldn't think of the name.

[deldaisy]

The image looks older than George Clooneys Solaris.... and knowing Q's head it is likely to BE older than that.

May be the original Solaris.

Q?

Q?

You mean: Солярис ?

[David Brown]

So it's really Solyaris?

[Tonyblack]

So it's really Solyaris?

Yes indeed it is -

Solaris (Russian: «Солярис», tr. Solyaris) is a 1972 film adaptation of the novel Solaris (1961), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.

[Quatermass]

It is the original Solaris, not the one with George Clooney.

[David Brown]

So is that a point to Deldaisy or Tony? Or both...
