Film Alphabet 1970s
 
1 Attachment(s)
I thought this might be fun. The pictures represent a film from the 70s by alphabet. There are other decades so I figured if this game took off we'd do the other ones.

Artist's website here.

Also the image is from a cheezburger site and you can see it in the bottom left corner. If you check out the site you can get the answers from the comments, which I have done so I refrain from answering.

I'm doing the one's not mentioned yet that I know. I got all of the ones mentioned so far.


Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS
Logans Run
Mad Max
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (?)
Rocky
Shaft
Taxi Driver
Up in Smoke
Westworld
Zulu

ZenGum 01-11-2012 09:05 PM

I had B and E.

I'm pretty sure I've got M, O, S and Z but I guess I have to wait.

Carry on.

Eta, dammit Rich I only knew four, you trumped the lot. :p

ETA: K ... Kramer Vs Kramer?

classicman 01-11-2012 09:07 PM

How about we do them one at a time so others not on or in different time zones/countries can have a shot as them ... just a thought.

richlevy 01-11-2012 09:08 PM

Kramer vs Kramer? Not sure.

Well here's my next one....

Harold and Maude (maybe)

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 07:17 AM

Yeah,
I knew A, C, D, E, F, J, K, N, L, O, M, R, S, T, U, W, and Z. But I only gave the answer for A because I figured we would make a fun game out of it that might last a day or so.

By my reckoning, G is next, and I don't know that one, so I'm keeping quiet on J, N, and Q.

Pretty sure I know Q.

regular.joe 01-12-2012 07:24 AM

G Good Guys Wear Black?

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 07:25 AM

I just figured it was a blurting game. (This is how my family describes games: blurting or not blurting. For example Trivial Pursuit is non-blurting, because people blurt out answers until you nod your head yes.)

Dwellars tend to not monopolize games, so I didn't make rules. If you all want we'll do the other decades one letter at a time. :)

So let's fill in the rest, peeps.

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 07:26 AM

Ah yes, that movie makes so much more sense when interpreted with a domination theme in mind. :)

I'm going to start guessing now. Is G from the Gauntlet? There were a hell of a lot of guns in that movie, and a shotgun could have been one of them.

Undertoad 01-12-2012 09:03 AM

Godfather?

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 09:04 AM

No. It's fairly obscure, I think.

But I looked up the answer they gave (on roflrazzi) in google images, and sure enough, they were right.

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 09:05 AM

Not Godfather, which is what I would have thought.

edit: fairly obscure in that it isn't a huge film like GF

Pico and ME 01-12-2012 09:17 AM

Well done. I had even come across Get Carter in my image searches for 3 piece suits and shotguns, but the clothing was different so I didn't think it was right.

The woman from H reminds me a lot of Jane Fonda from her Klute days. But she has no "H" movies.

H is a good one. You might never get it.

This is the image they used for Get Carter:

Sundae 01-12-2012 10:35 AM

Wish I'd got here earlier.
Get Carter was one of the few I had without hesitation.

(It's an English film of course)

I'm wondering if the X film could be X, Y and Zee.
I know it had Caine in it again, and that could be Elizabeth Taylor.
Never seen it, but it came up as a quiz night question once. Very few films out there start with X until you get to the X-Men franchise!

I haven't looked it up, but I have a feeling it might be a 60s film.

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 10:36 AM

YOU'RE RIGHT! I hadn't even heard of that movie! :) (1972)

Let me know when you want me to post hints...I'm thinking the picture it was based on should do it. I may have to block out names, though.

Sundae 01-12-2012 10:45 AM

V intrigues me.
The coat and the stance remind me of Captain Jack Harkness :)

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 10:50 AM

It is definitely an American movie, in a quintessential American genre.

Sundae 01-12-2012 10:55 AM

I think I've got it purely from the word clue.
But I then had to check there was a 70s film of that name.
So I won't post it because that feels like cheating.

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 10:58 AM

Oh, I don't think so. It's all part of the game, really. Unless you looked at the comments on the site it's not cheating.

Moving the image and work in progress to the new page.

Except the image didn't make the move. grrrr

I got V, but I had to look on the Web cuz at first I thought it was a Clint Eastwoood movie, but then learned it was Burt Lancaster.
Since I sorta cheated, should I not post it?

BigV 01-12-2012 11:16 AM

I think V is Villain.

infinite monkey 01-12-2012 11:16 AM

No, you're allowed to look on the web! Post away.

And BigV? What? ;)

edit: what referring to moving the page.

It is not Villain.

my display of this thread has separated the image in your opening post from the current position in the thread. I made an effort to reproduce the image in my post so that I could see the current work AND the image for reference without having to flip "pages" in the thread.
