Give the worst possible description of a movie!

[kihira]

You're on the right track here, but you may want to look a bit farther south.

Actually, a lot farther.

As far south as a starling might go?

 

[GraybeardGhost]

As far south as a starling might go?

Perhaps so far, or farther still,
but not so far as a penguin will.

 

[Metal_isthe_Answer]

"dumb and dumber"?

You are correct!

 

[kihira]

new one -

I'll be blunt and say that this recent film cruises along borrowing heavily from Saving Private Ryan and Groundhog Day

"the day after yesterday"... or whatever it's called where tome cruise keeps dying so that he can learn how not to die?



[EDIT]: "edge of tomorrow". and i feel like you're patronising me.

Heres one: Rampaging "giant penis monster" kill numerous people.

Attack of the Giant Rampaging Penis Monster?!?

 

[JackTripper]

Attack of the Giant Rampaging Penis Monster?!?

i was gonna guess "boogie nights". :bigsmile:

Now where were we...

The setting is contemporaneous to its production.



Yes, it is.

Sorry, but no.

This film has no pirates, no swordplay, and no fire swamp, but it does feature a rather large rat.

Did I say large? h:

I must have meant tall.

Yeah, that's it. Tall.

6' 2", to be exact.

Nope. Nowhere to run here.

Post-Watergate; pre-9/11.

Could be. :thinking:



It does not.

And again. :thumbup:

Now I have but one clue left:

Two in together.
One tells a remembered tale.
Film within a film.
​

Yeah, it's a haiklu™.

Going to have a punt with Invictus as it fits some of the haiklus™

Do you mean the Invictus which came out in 2009, eight years after 9/11?

Nope.

However, like Invictus, this one received a number of Academy Award nominations (and at least one win).

maybe The Green Mile?

 

[GraybeardGhost]

maybe The Green Mile?

The novel on which this film was based was not written by Stephen King or any other American.

You're on the right track here, but you may want to look a bit farther south.

"papillon"?

Farther still.

No Chuck, but this wartime propaganda turkey is stuffed with plenty of cheese.
