Framed - daily film guessing game

Another "never seen, never heard" one today. I suspect the Framed guys are getting tired of my samey critique every day and are purposely selecting films I've never seen. Frame 2 tells me it's almost certainly a Guy Ritchie film, and likely one without any of the merits of Matthew Vaughn, so it's liable to be about as enjoyable as a bout of shingles.
 
Framed #175
🎥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥

Ha ha ha I've seen this and quite liked it but didn't recognise anything. Seems it's utterly forgettable.

To be fair I recognised frame 5 but fucked if I could place it.
 
I watched this not more than 2 months ago and couldn't manage to identify it. It was that memorable.
kinda the same, although recognised an actor as in it but couldnt be arsed to look up the unremembered name
 
Not a single clue

Framed #175
🎥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥


I failed on plotwords, but the clues were shite.

About six of the clues were "racism" phrased very slightly differently, two were Mississippi, and one was "ressentiment" :confused:

there was one giveaway clue though i think, pretty specific to this film
i think the words are taken from IMDB tags or similiar
 
Seen it. Twice. Really like it a well. Yet took too long to get

Yes to all this. Tricky frames.

Not a clue on today's Framed, I think I even started watching it at some point but it wasn't my sort of thing.
 
Another "not seen or heard"; frame 3 makes it obvious it's a film about Stephen Hawking, but it's clearly not the rather excellent one with Benedict Cumberbatch and John Sessions which I think was "only" a TV movie in any case. Frame 5 shows it to have That Slightly Annoying Twerpy Actor Who Seemingly Everyone Thinks Is Great Apart From Me in the starring role.

The first two frames are rather cruel on anyone who doesn't recognise the images directly - anyone'd think it was a movie about chess.

Not seen it - or rather, I have been present in a room when it was on but didn't really pay it much attention - but definitely doable through grind.

Frame 1 has a nice bit of misdirection - the chess and the number. There's not many chess-focused films out there, and it's obviously not The Seventh Seal. The image suggests a relatively modern film, but with a period feel. I tried The Coldest Game but no autofill. Thought the number might be numerologically significant - Revolver and Lucky Number Slevin also crapped out. Figured it was in all likelihood a telephone number, not US (due to inaugural zero); most likely UK, given chess book is in English. Seems to be a pre-PhONEday Cambridge number. Threw in a placeholder to get to frame 2.

Frame 2: period defined by CND poster/handbill, placing it in late 50s at earliest. Other ephemera (hardbacked books with dust covers, no paperbacks, seemingly non-fiction rather than novels; that model/toy which seems quite 'sciencey'; the chess set; newspapers) lend themselves to a 'sciencey' rather than 'arty' character. Initially I wondered if the person in shot was playing chess with their foot, and on a whim tried the Christy Brown film, but no. The thick-framed glasses and PJs looked sort of familiar. The vibe I was getting was clever dude, early 60s, University of Cambridge, highly maths-competent, into patterns, not cool or artsy, but some girl has passed her number to him, the legs thing is probably some kind of foreshadowing... Which all pointed in one direction 👍

Is this how you do it then? I can't be bothered to put in that level of effort every morning before I get out of bed!

I had an inkling at frame 2, but there's no way I'd have remembered the title. It just jumped straight into my mind at frame 3.
