Name that movie plot

[ToasT]

All you have to do is name the movie using a description of the plot. Simple.

When a city bus in Brooklyn is blown up by terrorists a campaign of terror ensues forcing the President to declare Marshall Law.

Which movie?


[This message has been edited by ToasT (edited 06-16-2001).]

[QUENTIN]

The Siege (1998) starring Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis, and Annette Bening. Directed by Edward Zwick.

[ToasT]

Correct Quentin. Here's another one:

During the Japanese occupation of China at the time of the second World War, a young boy is accidentally seperated from his parents and must survive on his own.

That should be sufficient.

[Raw Chili]

I think it's Empire of the Sun

[Matias]

Yes, I would say Empire of the sun too. Directed by Steven Speilberg, starring The young Christian Bale and John Malkovich.

[Matias]

Double posts rule... /ubb/cool.gif /ubb/tongue.gif

[This message has been edited by Matias (edited 06-17-2001).]

[ToasT]

That is correct.
Ya know, you guys can do some as well.


After meeting a call girl at a Kung-Fu film, Clarence is thrown into the drug underworld after accidentally obtaining a suitcase full of cocaine from her pimp.

[The Salsa Shark]

True Romance

[ToasT]

Correct Salsa Shark:

Son to a murdered father, nephew to a muderous uncle, and a friend to two strange characters which live by the philosophy: "Home is where your rump rests."

[QUENTIN]

I don't remember Rosencrantz and Guldenstern ever saying "Home is where your rump rests" but I'll take a shot at it, and say Hamlet because it sure sounds like it...

[ToasT]

Hahaha...i was hoping someone would get fooled. It was not Hamlet. Good guess.

I'll leave the answer open.

[Jaredd]

The God Son?

[STARKE]

Uh...there is this big ship...and it kind of..uh...you know? Sinks...yeah, that's it. But the movie is really about nude paintings...

[ToasT]

Umm..sorry Jarred
It is not The God Son
I have never heard of that before


Since all of you guys are extremely slow I'll tell you the answer:

The Lion King


I'll give you another chance.

A New York advertising executive is abducted and framed for murder when he is mistaken for somebody else. He is plunged into the world of "spy-counterspy" and the suspense will leave you hanging from Mount Rushmore.*Hint*

[QUENTIN]

Josh, The Road To El Dorado is wrong.

The correct answer was Aguirre: The Wrath of God.

ToasT's is Free Willy.

Man Bites Dog is the best of those kinds of films, next time maybe try being more specific.

Alright, a little hint to my film, Melanie Griffith played a character that was meant as a homage to the main character prostitute of my film in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild. Also, a shot in Dark City, is set up and is portraying something exactly as it happens at the end of my film.
