A Movie Scene Quiz

Bloody hell what's goin' on with my fave movie thread?

I'm sending out love and peace.

Can't even think of a birth scene....but I will.

x

I can't figure out what happened either, Dorothy. I hope it blows over. (It's only trivia!)

44. Boogie Nights-I'm looking at Don Cheadle and a white woman in labor right now!!!

45. Geronimo (Native women comfort Geronimo's wife as she gives birth. Actress Kamala Devi married Chuck Connors soon after the filming of the movie.)

46. Z.P.G. (1972), Geraldine Chaplin delivers an illegal baby

It seems that the regulars can't spawn any more births and that the subject must be aborted. I had hoped Raggedyaggie would reconsider, for if I continue the thread from the rim of Lapland; I reckon I will soon be by myself. However, it will be Easter soon and we should all look on the bright side of life

So, without further ado, I announce the next subject to be chosen from the following:
- "New World" (a future society, utopic or distopic)
- "Neanderthal" (or any other kind of prehistoric human)
- "Noel " (Christmas films)
- "Noose" (hanging scenes)
- I was thinking about "Numismatics" (scenes explicitly featuring coins), but maybe that is too difficult.

It would be nice to give some kind of description of the scene or theme in question, for us who maybe haven't seen the film. I hope none of these topics has been used before.

I'll add:

48. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (two scenes of birth, including one with the machine that goes "ping!")

49. Dawn of the Dead - horrible bit where a tied up zombie woman gives birth to zombie baby

Shall we do "Noel" for Christams films Paaskynen?

Does all agree?

He he...just realised the zombie birth was already given ... dur.......sorry.

Noel then?

1. Scrooge

2. It's a Wonderful Life

Oh goodie, we're back? Christmas films, gotta love'em:

3. Tomten är far till alla barn (Swedish Xmas comedy)
4. Le pere noel n'est pas une ordure
5. Love actually
6. The wool cap
7. The first part of Fanny and Alexander

8. White Christmas (just bought it for 1.50 at Staples!)
9. Period of Adjustment (Jane Fonda, Jim Hutton and Tony Franciosa)

10. Muppet's Christmas Carol
11. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

12. Tales From The Crypt (Joan Collins)
13. Black Christmas (Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder)

Both of these are horror films from the 1970's involving a psychopathic killer on the loose at Christmas time. Tales From The Crypt has a trilogy of stories (the Joan Collins segment involves Christmas).

14. Miracle on 34th Street
15. Holiday Inn
16. The Lemon Drop Kid
17. The Apartment
18. Die Hard
19. The Nightmare Before Christmas
20. Trading Places
21. Home Alone
22. A Christmas Story

What is the one with Katherine Hepburn and Spenser Tracey where the "Reference Dept" is being taken over by a computer? There's a great Christmas party scene in it.

That would be:

23. Desk Set

Thanks, mac. I've seen parts of that movie at least a dozen times, but I've never watched the whole thing from front to back. I don't think I ever knew what the name of it was.

Love "Desk Set" and in the Cinerama screen, it was a hoot (all those computer lights, fake, of course, flashing across the giant screen when the computer did its own HAL routine". It's like seeing "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" in a 4:3 print for TV, which I believe was the last Cinerama movie. The letterbox wide screen of that film when shown on TCM has the brownish marks where the projectors juxtaposed on the giant curved screen. "How the West Was Won" suffers from the same problem.
