A film for every day of the year

[Sweet FA]

Oh yeh, I've gone on a tangent. I was about to post Juliet's birthday. Though R+J starts 2 weeks before her birthday so mid-July. Not specific enough though.

 

[Santino]

Great work getting a Highlander reference into the thread though. Maybe someone mentions the date on the radio earlier in the film?

 

[DaveCinzano]

18/04 - The Bang Bang Club - Ken Oosterbroek killed and Greg Marinovich wounded in Thokoza - DaveCinzano

 

[Santino]

Are any specific dates mentioned in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

 

[Santino]

I think the Gluttony victim in Seven is discovered on 20th June.

 

[Santino]

In Unforgiven some of the characters discuss a newspaper report of the shooting of President James Garfield, but I don't know exactly how long it would have taken the news to reach them.

 

[Santino]

In Vanity Fair (2004 if you insist on a version), Becky Sharp attends a ball on 15th June 1815.

I don't think so, just years.

The Highlander one above should count if the newspaper's seen on screen, right?

If there is a newspaper, yeah. But the screenshot above was only a birth certificate.

 

[OxfordPop]

In the 1976 film Sweeney!, DI Jack Regan is suspended from duty on 27th April, with the bulk of the film set during the rest of that day.

 

[Santino]

In La Gloire de mon Pere, the narrator's father teaches a class on 1st October 1900.

 

[scifisam]

So it's mentioned in the movie, but doesn't actually happen in the movie? Think that'd rule out a lot of the others as well though

 

[Santino]

In Glass Onion we see a phone confirming a date of 22nd May 2020.

I think we need to see action that takes place on a specific date.

 

[Santino]

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, an on-screen caption and Keanu Reeves' voiceover helpfully provides a date of 25th May for an early scene.

 

[Raheem]

A few films from around the world with dates in the titles. I have not seen any of them and will not be held responsible for anything.

March 17. 17th March
May 22. 22 Mei.
August 15. 15th August.
June 22. 22 iyunya, rovno v 4 chasa
December 16. 16 December

 

[Santino]

Probably any Harry Potter film - Harry's birthday is on 31 July.

President Garfield was shot July 2nd.
English Bob arrives in town July 4th......

 

[Santino]

English Bob arrives in town July 4th......

Damn. 4th July will already be well covered. Can we infer the dates of any subsequent days featured?

 

[surreybrowncap]

I'll work on it - it beats working..

 

[Santino]

In The Return of the Musketeers, the musketeers are present at the execution of Charles I, 30 January.

 

[Spandex]

6th August - Gen drops a coin at a very fortuitous moment in Barefoot Gen.

 

[Sweet FA]

1/4 - French Connection II. Opening scene - Popeye Doyle meets Henri in front of the gendarmarie in Marseille. Barthélémy is looking for heroin hidden in fish. He doesn't find any, as it's a Poisson d'Avril joke.

 

[surreybrowncap]

July 22nd - Dillinger - Shot and killed by FBI agents...

 

[OxfordPop]

Danny says at the end of Withnail and I...

“London is a country coming down from its trip. We are ninety-one days from the end of of this decade, and there’s gonna be a lot of refugees...”

That’d be Thursday 2nd October 1969...

Or you can have the film starting on Sunday 28th September 1969...

 

[OxfordPop]

There are plenty of very precise dates to pick in The Day Of The Jackal, but the climax of the assassination attempt upon Charles de Gaulle is Sunday 25th August 1963.

This is the kind of work we need doing.
