NATHANIEL R said...

it was too easy i guess. the shot right before the last shot is sooooo beautiful. such a great ending.

First one I could've gotten, and I'm beat by the first comment.

GREAT movie

Flosh said...

at least i was (sort of) in the ballpark geographically - i thought it was spring, summer, winter, fall.... and spring.

Finally one I know!!
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Oh man, I am embarrassed. That is one of my favorite films, and I never would have guessed it. That opening shot looks so European to me that I was leaning more towards CHOCOLAT, but knew it was wrong.

There are so many iconic shots in CROUCHING TIGER, that i assume that the movie begins with something more memorable to me. I should have gotten that last shot though.

Derreck said...

shit.

i got all excited when i saw it because i thought i had it. ah, well. i know i'm going to get at least one of these...:P

Peter Chan said...

lol- i finally know one. what does that make my record? 1 for 7?

BLH said...

I think I've known all of them except for Videodrome, and even in that one I thought the apartment in the first shot looked familiar.

I've got to make to sure to jump on this as soon as I get to work.

Henry said...

Ha! I never really realized how mundane the opening shot is compared to the ridiculously beautiful closing shot.

NATHANIEL R said...

henry isn't that the way of it too in the movie. the first 20 minutes being so talky and plain and seemingly still and then LIFT-OFF suddenly there's all those bodies defying gravity and things are never mundane again.

The first shot reminded me of the opening of The Crying Game. I was looking hard to find a ferris wheel. The last shot reminded me of A moment or two in Gorillas in the Mist.
Speaking of the Crying Game, I wish I had seen it with subtitles. Didn't understand a heck of a lot of what was being said, though I def felt the power of it.

JoFo said...

Bah, first Se7en and now this. The ones I actually know Im too slow to get the kudos.

Ryan said...

gorillas in the mist? no, i kid.
