Too Easy

I lived near LA when this was filmed. It was all over the news - the helicopter work through the city is amazing.

This is the German language version, so you must give the German title.

Another hintView attachment 570439

I think this is Cloud Atlas? I’ve never seen it, but remember this image from when it came out.

 

[SecondRow]

I didn't notice if anyone got #668. As I said, the name is right there, on the life preserver, though it is a bit fuzzy and in cyrillic. Hint, it's a battleship.

I think you missed this guess. Was it correct?

Battleship Potempkin?

Final clues before I reveal the answers. 674 and 805 are a bit obscure, but there are enough bright people here, and obviously some who know a lot of movies, that I'm surprised no one has got them yet.

1068 is a classic, and I'm shocked no one has got it yet.

No idea, but I'm getting Nosferatu vibes.

Nosferatu is correct. It's a fun film, if anyone gets the chance to catch a screening with an organist performing the score, it's a good time.

 

[NateB]

1068 is Ed Wood.

Correct!

You got it! Great movie!

 

[stealth6]

1068 is Ed Wood.

No it isn't.

It's actually Glen or Glenda, which was an Ed Wood movie.
"Ed Wood" the movie, starring Johnny Depp was about Ed Wood. It also starred Bill Murray, SJ Parker, and Martin Landau (doing a great job as Bela Lugosi). Good film, worth seeing.

Dang, I thought I had that one. I have not seen Glen or Glenda and only watched the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Ed Wood movie in the 90s.

Closing this one out as I don't recall an answer. It's a niche 'coming of age' film. The female lead does an amazing job for her age, as does Woody Harrelson. Having lived through the years of having a teenage daughter, parts of the teen drama bit resonated. The movie is Edge of Seventeen.

674: Brassed Off.

Yes. That movie contains what is for me one of the most memorable lines about how big business and government work.

No it isn't.

It's actually Glen or Glenda, which was an Ed Wood movie.

Correct, on every count. Landau really stole the show. And Ed Wood featured the production of three Edward D. Wood Jr. movies, including Glen or Glenda; hence the confusion, presumably.

And still no takers on 805?

You all should see it. Don't expect SF, It's a hoot.

Yup, Battleship Potemkin.
