- wrong genre (pity)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Nope, not horror

Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Nope, not Myths and Legends. Although I do have a decent knowledge of the subject. A friend of our had a baby girl and decided to call her Phoebe after the grandmother who did not quite survive to her birth. This was at the height of the popularity of Friends and when I met the new daughter for the first time when she was 3 days old her mother was already fed up with people linking her name to the TV programme. She burst out laughing when she told me her daughter was called Phoebe and my reply was "That's a lovely name - that was the grandmother of Apollo and Artemis in Greek mythology".

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Nope - released in 1975, and the wrong genre

The Towering Inferno

Nope - not disaster movie genre

74 noval colheita

good lateral thinking but, nope, not port genre.


C'mon folks. There is one obvious genre that is crying out to be named and you're missing it so far.

The Longest Yard

DRT wrote:The Longest Yard

What on earth is the genre of The Longest Yard? It's not whatever that genre is either.

I'm starting to despair. Someone needs to take a look at Wiki and figure out a film released in 1974 from a genre not mentioned yet.

Madhouse?

I think the genres mentioned so far (and therefore excluded) are:

Crime Drama
Comedy
Thriller
Pornography
Myths & Legends
Horror
Disaster
Not Chinatown Genre (American neo-noir)
Not The Longest Yard (Sports Drama)

Clue: could be construed as a comedy

Great Expectations

Neither madhouse, nor Great Expectations - nor from either of these genres.

Use Derek's list of the genres which have been ruled out and the list of films released in 1974 from here and take another guess.

The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams?

Does that add Period Drama to the list of excluded genres?

DRT wrote:Does that add Period Drama to the list of excluded genres?

Period drama is now an excluded genre.

Biographical (Grizzly Adams) is also an excluded genre.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!

UFO: Target Earth?

All Creatures Great and Small

jdaw1 wrote:UFO: Target Earth?

A dreadful film and one which deserves to be condemned to the forgotten corners of history - but we finally have the right genre!

Dark Star

Zardoz

DRT wrote:Dark Star

And I thought it wouldn't take long! Spot on, you're up.

A truly underappreciated but great film about the development of original thinking and the dangers involved. Less tongue in cheek, it's actually quite a good laugh but looking a little dated these days. A film to watch after half a bottle of port.

DRT's up.

I liked the film theme.

My son's favourite film up to the age of 6 is the film that have I seen more often than any other. What is the name the lead chatacter?

Bambi

Mary Poppins?

Freddie Kruger

Harry Palmer

mickey mouse

Indiana Jones

None of the above. The film was not old when my son first watched it.

Ariel

Matilda

Charlie Bucket?

No. No. No.

Guessing that to be a guess (and suggesting it be treated as such), how about Fred Flintstone?

How much help do you need? Kids film. Anyone who has known me for more than 5 minutes knows when my son was born. He stopped watching it when he was 6 having watched it lots and lots and lots. It wasn't old when he watched it.

JDAW seems to be content with level of helpfulness, but he's still wrong.

No.

In Oscar terms Buzz qualifies as "Best kids toy in a supporting role"

Woody?

JDAW is up.

Mean

KillerB wrote:Mean

Borderline. Certainly not generous.

I’ll join the film theme. There are several film comedies that are excellent, including the obvious Monty Pythons. But one of my favourite films from this genre is French. Yes, an award-winning French film not about Sartre, sex or smoking!

What is the name of the film?

Amelie

Entertaining film, but not Amelie.

I'm out now. French Comedy is an oxymoron that I can't deal with.

You’re out because the rules prohibit you from guessing.

Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie?

Sounds odd. But no.

I'm out because I am prohibiting myself from guessing.
