Re: Name That Movie!
No, no LJ! The clue is "giveaway"
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Name That Movie! Please.
I had a sneaking suspicion that this movie would trip you all up. Obviously I was right.
Perhaps I need to introduce new characters -- referred to or implied -- to assist in winnowing down this cinematic mystery. Note my deliberate use of surnames.
OK... here we go:

Unfortunately, since I had to look up the correct, answer I am ineligible to claim this one...

Please, Please, Name That Movie!
Good job, BSG.
I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way...
That's right the women are smarter, the women are smarted that's right...
Any takers? Without some serious new blood in here I'm sure this thread will soon be taken off life support.

I've got one I'll post tomorrow if no one takes it before then...
Re: Name That Movie!
Yes, but I would have guessed it too if I had ever heard of the movie.Good job, BSG.

For those of you who really haven’t heard of the film, I highly recommend it - excellent performance by Glenn Close in a very compelling story.

Re: Name That Movie!

Absolutely! Lives of quiet desperation. I feel this flick hasn't received the recognition it fully deserves.BoSoxGal wrote:For those of you who really haven’t heard of the film, I highly recommend it - excellent performance by Glenn Close in a very compelling story.

Re: Name That Movie!
Complete gear change...
Back to one of my favorite genres; 50s sci-fi movies...
This one isn't in the same league as Forbidden Planet, but it's no Teenagers from Outer Space either...
In general it would be considered towards the better end of the scale for 50s Sci-Fi flicks...
A couple of quotes to start:

Both Carol and I are subject to the same atmospheric disturbances that may have affected other observers, but there is a qualitative difference, when you're a scientist.

I thought this was pretty easy, versus some others I could have picked...
Unidentified Flying Object reported flying due West, sir. Probably a buzzard.
We operate in a very different time reference. You might say all this is happening between the ticks of your watch or the beats of your heart.
Course, it wasn't a flying saucer at all. I just shake like this all the time.

Plan 9 from Outer Space?
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Re: Name That Movie!
Nope Dale...
This flick is Citizen Kane compared to Plan 9....
But it does involve malevolent invaders from outer space...

Re: Name That Movie!
going with one Ive at least heard of, since Ive never seen any 50s sci fi as its just too corny.
Death is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
Name That Movie! Please.
Did they remake this flick in the '70s?

Re: Name That Movie!
No on Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and no on the remake...(at least I can't find one..)
Another non-quote clue:
The flick did not feature any "household name" actors or actresses, (though the male lead was a regular performer on TV during the fifties and sixties and also had a twenty year run from the 60's through the 80s as a character on a popular day time soap) but the special effects were done by the legendary special effects master Ray Harryhausen, so it really doesn't qualify as low budget schlock...
