Film quiz update

[chickenfeet]

The following answers to yesterday's film quiz have been provided (with the name of first identifier).

1. Marquis - damiel

2. Paths of Glory - damiel

3. Ran - kalypso_v

4. Metropolis - gnimmel

5. Meet the Feebles - gnimmel

6. Virgin Spring - damiel

8. Margaret's Museum - c_mantix

This is fun because I can almost always rely on damiel and gnimmel to identify odd cultish films and c_mantix and globetrotter1 to spot the mandatory Canuckistani flick. Plus, of course, much general cinematic erudition from all sides.

Naturally I think all these movies are worth seeing and could maker a case for all but Marquis and Meet the Feebles being genuine classics. Those two however are a bit different. Lord of the Rings fans will want to see Meet the Feebles because it was directed by Peter Jackson. It's much better than Lord of the Rings because it wasn't shot in the pitch dark and only the rabbit has pointy ears. Marquis is very weird but definitely worth a look.

Now, additional clues for the three remaining flicks.

7. Is a very long, star studded, over worthy and rather dull WW2 flick.

9. Is a less well known but much better WW2 flick.

10. has a star studded cast and an A-list director but still manages to be thoroughly unsatisfying.

And, equally remarkably, Michael Caine does not appear

Probably just a mite too early for Caine. Otherwise he wouldn've been in it too.

Seems likely. Zulu was two years later and I guess that was his big break.
