Framed - daily film guessing game

Obviously, today's - it's frantic, barely pause for a breath stuff, kind of like peak Scorsese. There's PT Anderson's Punch Drunk Love (with Emily Watson and Philip Seymour Hoffman) which is dark, funny and moving. Probably the best thing he's been in. And there's The Meyerowitz Stories (from same director of Marriage Story) it's a dysfunctional family comedy/drama with a belter of a cast. He's supposed to be excellent in Hustle (from this year) but haven't seen it yet, so can't say.

Imho, of course :)

Thanks, I'll try to check out some of those when I am at a loose end.
 
This is the only film I've seen with this lead actor. I think I'm unique in the world that I have only positive vibes about him.
 
I'm in two minds about that film. It's an unusual thing but I'm not sure whether I actually enjoyed it or if think it's a good film. It's strange and exhausting.

I don't recommend it to people as a rule but will say it's definitely worth a watch if you're interested in seeing this actor do something completely different. I have never knowingly watched anything else with him in because it all looks like absolute dog turd.

Thought his breakout role was ok, after that, avoided him until the spoilered films above. Revelation. His shit films are still shit, mind.

I generally don't either watch or avoid films because of the actors. He's got to be something quite special because people tend to talk about films he's in as being his films. I don't know much about him but I'm stanning him from now on.

I don't always avoid stuff because of who is in it (except Mark Wahlberg who can go to hell for IRL reasons and I am not sure why more people don't absolutely object to his stardom, sometimes sorry isn't enough and a life out of the limelight doing charity work for nothing would be more fitting for a violent racist piece of shit who has actually harmed people in assaults fuelled by racial hatred) but sometimes you can get the cut of a film's jib by who is in it, and therefore there are certain films where I see the cast list and think "that's probably not going to be my cup of tea, life's too short and there are a million other films I haven't yet watched" etc.

I think the writer(s) and director(s) are much more important factors for deciding what type of film is your cup of tea than the person playing the lead role. Well at least for me.

I do agree with that to an extent, I mean I wasn't keen on watching anything with Jim Carrey in it until The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, because a lot of what he had been in before was stuff I knew wouldn't appeal to me personally. We have a limited span on this earth in which to watch films, and it isn't unreasonable to use filters to prevent yourself wasting 90-120 minutes of your life on something that in all probability based on previous experience you aren't going to like :D
 
I've got quite a list now of actors that make me not watch a film if they are in it.

Off the top of my head: Liam Neeson, Will Smith, Sandra Bullock, Vin Diesel, Channing Tatum, the guy in the film we're on today.....

I've got more but I can't think of them right now.

Those Jim Carrey comedies where all he does is pull faces are fucking dreadful but Eternal Sunshine and The Truman Show are great so he gets a pass.

It’s a roller coaster of a film. I rated it

I’d avoid any other film by him on principal

If people are consistently confusing films he's starred in with films he has actually made, I'm kinda intrigued. He must consistently be a massive presence.
 
Not sure how well known this is but...

Guess the movie from 6 frames. Come back each day to see if you can guess the daily movie, or visit the archive to answer the days that you missed!

Edit: upon further research this film has received a bunch of awards so maybe it's somewhat well known.
