Yikes! That is so familiar. I'm thinking.
sounds right with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant?
That is undoubtedly correct.
Rageedy is correct with "Two Weeks Notice".
I swear this one's on AMC every other week:
Inbetweener:
She sends the older man, the one who is her date and bought her a gold charm bracelet, out to get her a coke. She then shows her mother's handsome boarder the scarecrow her father made some time ago.
Not one guess for this movie that's about acreage that is ill-fated?
Well, I was going to guess Lolita, but your hint tells me that obviously isn't right, so it's off to do some research...
"acreage that is ill-fated" or "possession that is damned", might be a substitute title.
Hi Bree! Hope the sun is shining where you are.
This Property Is Condemned
Never saw it, but it's the only movie I can think of that fits your hint.
YES to this Property Is Condemned. It's been on American Movie Classics three times this month. Tennessee Williams wrote the play and Francis Ford Coppolo assisted with the screenplay. Leonard Maltin said it was "trash". I liked it. Robert Redford looked great. (lol)
I'll have to look for it on AMC. I just looked it up on imdb, and it looks like it has a great cast. I had no idea Mary Badham had been in anything after To Kill a Mockingbird.
Inbetweener
In a cricket match between a team from "the hall" and a team from "the village", a young boy who is a houseguest at the hall makes an outstanding catch to win for the match for his team.
Uh Oh. I have to think about this one.
(Mary Badham had a fairly large role and I thought she gave a great performance. I just read that Tennessee Williams was so disgusted with the movie he requested that his name be removed from the screen credits. Francis Ford Coppola was one of the screen writers. Oh well, so much for my opinion.)
Sorry for the delay (just got back from a long birthday lunch for a co-worker, and feeling very mellow).
The Go-Between is correct. I just saw it again on Sunday. The Film Society of Lincoln Center showed it as part of their tribute to Joseph Losey. It was a terrible print (they apologized in advance, but said it's the only print in existence): so faded that, instead of the beautiful green lawns and white flannels that I remembered from when I first saw it in 1970, it was like looking at a sepia photograph. Strangely, though, when there was red in any scene (like red flowers on a table), the red still showed up clearly: I guess red must be the last color to fade on old film. Still a good movie, though, and Alan Bates and Julie Christie were still a pretty couple.
Mellow sounds good.
I've never seen The Go-Between from beginning to end. Julie Christie is a favorite of mine. I'll be on the lookout for it.
Did you get tickets for Streetcar?
Newbie
Every day he offers her a ride home from work even though she tells him she is not interested in a boyfriend. When she's not at work, she spends her time watching Hollywood musicals and practicing for a stage musical.
The dates (and final casting) for Streetcar still haven't been announced, but I'll definitely get tickets as soon as they are!
Need to think about your scene...
hmm... It remembers me "Dancer in the Dark" ...
Welcome Radical Edward.
Yes to Dancer in the Dark. Now it's your turn to ask a scene. After three wrong guesses, we'll ask you for a clue.
Tell us whether it's an:
Oldie - before 1960
Inbetweener - 1960 to 1980
Newbie - 1981 to present.
Well... Newbie: She had locked the door and put a chain to the TV, but he wants to take the TV. He is with a friend, he insists and she can not resist, and he finally takes the TV...
