    Default Game #209 (Frank and Ollie)

    Rule 1:
    NO IMAGE HOSTING ON EXTERNAL SERVERS.
    Images for the games need to be ATTACHED to the post, and thus uploaded to our server.

    Rule 2:
    TWO GUESSES PER PERSON PER POSTED PICTURE!!! Those two guesses are not allowed to be in the same post, NOR in a consecutive post.
    I.e. you can post one guess, then have to wait for someone else to post: your second guess is not allowed to be immediately following your first guess.

    Rule 3:
    The WINNER of the game can start a new game IN A NEW THREAD.
    NO ONE ELSE (unless yielded so by the winner).

    Rule 4:
    Once there's a winner, PLEASE post the correct name into the thread (spelled correctly, and capitalized correctly, and not in italics or bold face.)

    Rule 5:
    The correct title format is: "Game" / space / "#" / number.
    Example: " Game #12" (without the ")
    (no space between the # sign and the number!)

    Rule 6:
    These complete rules (1 to 6) have to be copy&pasted into each new game's first post.


    Here's a sneaky one for you - but I promise it will be a fast game, within a day, the screenshots will become obvious...

    Oh, yeah, almost forgot, a clue: Current score on Rotten Tomatometer is 88%.

    Hint: Premiered in Toronto...

    Bedtime here, new screenshot and a hint:

    This is not an "ordinary" movie...

    (PS: Krute probably may guess this sooner than anyone else, I'm afraid. He may use his special Rule #7 - if he so wishes... )

    Too hard? Well, the movie has been called "obscure" - on Wikipedia...

    This should help you narrow it down:

    That could almost be a photograph of your bookshelf, Janke.

    Despite the five clues, (and the four hidden clues?...), I still haven't a clue.

    Man, I suck at this game.... I have a film studies minor and I've seen more movies than anyone I know- I host movie night every week in my garage theatre..... and still I'm never anywhere close on this game!!! Could you maybe give a genre first? Sorry, I'm a total terd- but I wanna WIN!!!!

    Keep it up guys. I think the harder it is, somehow the more I like it. It's like 60% pain and 40% pleasure seems to balance me out. Is that bad that I enjoy suffering?

    No, but a clue:

    According to IMDB, the house much of the film was shot in was designed by Frank Llloyd Wright...

    I'm sure I've seen the Chaplin movie, but it looks like that's a movie "in" in the movie....

    Default Frank and Ollie

    Ugarte got it!

    Frank and Ollie

    is the correct answer! It's a movie about Disney movies, featuring two of the animators, of "Nine Old Men" fame. Strongly recommended to anyone interested in movie history and art.

    (Krute: book no. 3 from the left is a gift from me to Frank sometimes in the late 1970s...)

    Just a short clip, when Frank talks about how important pathos is - and in that Chaplin scene, you've got tons of it!

    That is way cool! Looks like a great film. I've added it to my Netflix queue.

    New game up later tonight.

    Oh, BTW, you can find an 8mm clip I shot of Frank animating (1976) at my youtube site "AnimatoFinland", and another, where we run Ollie's backyard railroad (1993) on "FinnishLivesteam" - won't post them here, though, so if you want to watch them go to youtube and do a simple search...

    Oh, cuh-rap! I saw that movie listed in almost every keyword search I did, but I dismissed it when I saw it was a documentary!! For some reason I thought the game movies had to be fiction.... dunno where the hell I got that idea!!

    Now I know why you said I'd probably get it before anyone else - because of our chats about animation and your long friendship with those venerable gentlemen, (for which I am still consumed with envy, btw.)

    Dang, I really have to buy that film!!!

    Oh, so even these hints didn't help?

    Here's a sneaky one for you...
    This is not an "ordinary" movie...

    Krute, I'm disappointed... or, shall we rather say it was just a "temporary slip by the master-of-recognizing-old-films"?

    Nowhere in the rules do I see anything about documentary vs. fiction. However, I think we have an implicit understanding that all movies here must have had a theatrical release, i.e. no pure TV movies...

    Yeah, I had an idea "sneaky" meant that you were being sneaky by slipping one in that was personal to you. In fact, that's how I found "Frank and Ollie" in the first place. But, as I said, I dismissed it because it was a documentary.

    As for it not being an "ordinary" film, at first I decided that was another clever Janke clue, and that you meant it was a film produced by some company called "Extraordinary Films", (there is one, I discovered.) But that didn't pan out so I checked on every antonym of "ordinary" that I could think of and find, but that didn't help either.

    By this time I was getting a tad puzzled, and then that shot of the bookshelf really did my head in! You just must have one just like it!! Heck, I've got one that's a little bit similar to it myself!

    Nowhere in the rules do I see anything about documentary vs. fiction. However, I think we have an implicit understanding that all movies here must have had a theatrical release, i.e. no pure TV movies...
    You're absolutely right, of course. That was just a figment of my imagination.

    But yes, let's call it a temporary slip, and my big ego can remain intact.
