Framed - daily film guessing game

Yeah I didn't get it either. It's before my time, and I know there's other older films but when I think of this one I feel it never made it out its time.

And having just watched some clips of it on YouTube it looks fucking awful. Let's be charitable and say its not aged well

Much like Star Wars and Ghostbusters, it never really managed to seize my attention besides aimless popcornability and I never really understood the affection for it; perhaps I saw it too late. And yes, much of it is pretty cringey - it bears all the same hallmarks as Spielberg's post-divorce bleak period that gave us Temple of Doom, although with slightly less prevalent racism.

On a wider note though HV, can you count the number of films you've seen on one hand?! :D

Framed - The daily movie guessing game

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!

Not a clue. Is it Han’s brother?

Got it in one, but it was one of the most memorable cinematic experiences I’ve had, though also one of the only times I’ve had to shush people.
 
A wash today. Never seen nor heard of it - something about climbing in Yosemite I guess, but impossible to get from that to the title.

Having just read up about it... it's not my cuppa tea because - probably related to my vertigo - I've always found "free" climbing incredibly reckless as well as sickening and boring; same reaction from you, or just ambivalence?.

Nah
It’s just climbing and hiking and blah. Humourless, high-tech-trousers and £200 cagoules and everything is… unglamorous. Outdoorsy pursuits. I don’t get it.

Understandable. Whilst I like and watch many documentaries, and have found plenty of "classic exploration" docos thoroughly engrossing, but I've tried to watch several about various feats of modern exploration and... humourless high-tech trousers is a surprisingly good summation of them all. Meh. Don't think it's summat I'd be drawn to but interested to see what others like OU saw in it.
