Thread: The SRP Movie Quiz

Most will pick out one star in this photo, but not all will recognise the other. Or the very accomplished personality in the previous shot.

Ah.. Natassja Kinski. Movie : Revolution (right?)
Parts of that movie was actually filmed in Norway

(And I didn't recognize Donald in that first picture )

Here's a difficult one. I will be surprised if anyone knows this one. (Except maybe JimR or OLD_SCHOOL or seraphim) It's a Japanese movie. From the early 70s that gets great reviews even in the Western world and is considered a real classic. It's the first movie in a 5 movie series. It's in my top ten of all time best movies (the boxed set that is. I love all 5 of these.) The movie is set in Japan just after WWII.

It won awards for Best Actor (Lead actor), Best Screenplay and Best Film in Japan.

I will post more pictures in a few days if nobody can figure out which movie this is..



Here is another picture, this time of the lead actor:

Right indeed.

Is it "Battles without honor or humanity"? I've only seen the second one, but I think I recognize the guy...

He,he.. Bingo! You're quick. That's Bunta Sugawara in the last pic. You really should see the whole series. Fantastic movies.



Here's more info on the film:
Jingi naki tatakai (1973)

I saw this one on TV when I was a kid, but it was certainly at the theaters:

I haven't seen it, but is it Schindler's list? You look like you're somewhere in your thirties maybe and if you watched it when you were a kid this is one of the few English speaking made WWII movies filmed around the early to mid nineties.. Besides. The guy in the picture looks a little like Ralph Fiennes.

Not Schindler's list, nope.

Yep, I'm in my early thirties, but I saw it on TV as a KID, like, 10, so pre-90's. And this is a horror movie...based on a novel by a second- or third-tier horror writer; no King, Barker or Straub here.

Another hint: Crosses. LOTS of crosses.

Is it "The Keep"?
