DISMANTLE WHARF

nope! good guess

Con Air (1997)?

NO! Another good guess.

I mean, that’s Wesley Snipes, and the only Wesley Snipes plane movie is Passenger 57…

Why, ritchey, why?

That head says Snipes to me. Passenger 57?

Oh weird! I didn't see any of these posts! Josh, you beat me fair and square.

Josh wins!

p.s. Passenger 57 is actually so good, we watched it the other day. Amazing Bond-esque opening credits with the WILDEST funky slap bass

Okay, go!

Duh this is SNEAKERS

I would know this anywhere because Robert Redford’s heather grey crew, tweed jacket and New Balances is a look I have been trying to emulate a long time

EPIC

Impressed!! I watched our Sneakers videotape nearly every other weekend of my youth (it was at mom's house) and I did NOT HAVE A CLUE.

I knew it was Redford but couldn't think of any music-based Redford movie! I don't remember Sneakers at all.

This is the scene where Robert Redford goes to enlist the help of his ex, played by the wonderful Mary McDonnell. Mike would have gotten this one easily too; I feel bad that I beat him to the punch.

She was a piano teacher!

Where IS Mike? I have been waiting for him to tell me snacks!

I texted Mike to tell him to post

You are a true gentleman.

Yes, it's Sneakers!

I thought maybe Redford wouldn't be easily recognizable? I guess he's pretty distinctive.

And I hoped the music aspect would throw you off a bit.

not so easy, is it Josh?!???? HOW THE WORM TURNETH

SOME SICK PORNO VID

District 9? Feels like that same kind of vérité. I don’t remember any aliens that big though.

Nope

Tremors

Oh is this EVOLUTION (2001)??

MORGAN NAILS IT

this movie is deranged

The Talented Mr Ripley?

That's a speed record. YES!

I knew it too, dang it willow!!!!!!!! Too quick for us mortals

This is in fact a scene from the movie that Gary and I constantly reference. "Tommy?? How's the peepin' Tommy? Tommy? How's the peepin'?" PSH most creepy performance of career

Oh wow I win!! But I am flooded with anxiety thinking about what/how to post next. Ugh ok hang tight everyone...

OK actually wasn't hard on either count.

DEATH BECOMES HER?

Good guess but NOPE

Troop Beverly Hills?

YES! You win! This is moments before Shelley Long drawls, "It's missing... a bead" and scores a sweet discount.

I don't know the movie but I love this image

same

Is this JAWS 3D?

omg I also thought of Jaws 3D but felt shy of guessing for some reason!!!! If we both thought it it must be true.

It is NOT Jaws 3D

Do we need a hint?

It's Day of the Dolphin!!!

Found this:

"The film version was originally going to be directed by Roman Polanski for United Artists in 1969, with Polanski writing the script. However, while Polanski was in London, England, looking for filming locations in August 1969, his pregnant wife, the actress Sharon Tate, was murdered in their Beverly Hills home by disciples of Charles Manson. Polanski returned to the United States and abandoned the project."

CORRECT.

This movie is SUPER fucking weird, not least because of that dark factoid. It's based on a French book but clearly also pretty inspired by John C. Lilly's far-out 70s research on dolphin communication, during which a female volunteer researcher named Margaret lived in a flooded human-dolphin house with a bottlenose dolphin named Peter who eventually became too horny for her. Lilly also dosed the dolphins with LSD and Peter eventually committed suicide--literally chose to stop breathing and sink to the bottom of his tank.

Anyway Day of the Dolphin is about people trying to teach dolphins to speak English and if you have 5 minutes you should look up Day of the Dolphin on YouTube just to hear how they handled the dolphins-speaking-English vocalizations. They shriek "PA!" at George C Scott

Well thanks for that. I'll be diving (pun intended) into that the rest of the day.

Oh Jesus this one is impossible!

We can start with period. The phone is a giveaway for 90s or 00s. What's the beer/wine bottle and two flat things on the bed?

The Informant?

Here’s a hint. Relatively recent movie. The room/location is central to the plot.
