Guess the Movie

That's delicate machinery! Handle with care.

That clears things up. Now I just need to remember which film has Stephenson's Rocket and the Mole from Thunderbirds in it. Probably safe to eliminate Merchant-Ivory from our enquiries.

Is it a documentary on the building of the new Airbus?

[Griffin NoName]

No, surely it must be a day for night version of Thomas the Tank Engine?

[Sibling Chatty]

Bridget Jones Diary, the Stygian Gloom Version??

[Swatopluk]

Beagle is closest to the correct answer so far.

I can't name the film but this still shows Holmes and Watson with a third man. Holmes and Watson have just had the following conversation:

Holmes: this fellow has just descended the ladder in a most unusual fashion
Watson: good heavens, how can you tell?
Holmes: dammit man, don't you see the teltale marks on his jacket. It is obvious he rolled down horizontally.

I think it's probably "At The Earth's Core".

Another Sci-Fi mad schoolfriend and I saw it at the Odeon Leicester Square one afternoon about 1976. There were only about ten people in the whole place (and half of those were selling ice cream).

The give-away is Doug McClure on the right who seemed to appear in a lot of these films. Perhaps he likes sci-fi too.


If I'm right this shouldn't be too difficult:



The person on the left is my role model (along with Daffy Duck). We want the actors' names as well as the film...

[Swatopluk]

Beagle was right. I had considered Peter Cushing as the more likely one to be recognized.

Is that Terry Thomas in Those magnificent men in their flying machines?

[beagle]

Absolutely right, as Sir Cuthbert Ware-Armitage, with Eric Sykes as side-kick.

[Swatopluk]

Him in that outfit is on much of of the ad material (posters, video covers etc.). That made it easy.

New pictures have to wait until to-morrow. How is the knowledge about Asian movies here?

[Opsa]

I've seen  a few Asian movies, but don't worry, Swato. You're sure to stump us again.

[beagle]

Hmm, might just get a Kurosawa or an Oshima (it's art not porn if it has subtitles).

[Swatopluk]

Let's stay a little bit more local at the moment.
OK, who forgot to feed the primate?
