Stained Glass Cinema #9

Congrats to Rachel for getting on the board last time - in case you missed it, the film was Red Rock West, also known as one of my favorite Nic Cage movies. I cry for John Dahl's career whenever I see it (though it may be on the upswing - I certainly enjoyed You Kill Me).

Good luck with this one, suckers. A hint forthcoming if no one gets it within a few hours...

























Standings:
Daniel/Jason - 2
Steel11Kane - 1
TonyD - 1
Evan Derrick - 1
Luke Harrington - 1
Rachel - 1
Fletch - 1 (meaning I stumped you)


28 people have chosen wisely: on "Stained Glass Cinema #9"

I stink at guessing these, but I'm going with the last starfighter...

Kano said...

There is a small resemblance to Hook, but I doubt that it's Hook.

Jason said...

The best I can come up with right now is Angel Heart. I also considered Poltergeist, After..., Lady in the Water, Alien, and Lust, Caution. But most of the color schemes do not match up.

Fletch said...

No, no, no, no, and no.

Here's your hint: one of the co-stars has won an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Nick said...

Man... I was gonna do a whole bunch of research and try to figure it out... but I have better things to do with my time... so eff that :P .

Justin Gott said...

My first two guesses are K-PAX and The Village. . .

Fletch said...

None of the above. Funny that you said The Bone Collector, Paul, as that was one of the earlier ones I did.

Okay, one more hint: it was a sci-fi adaptation that bombed miserably. Bonus: it came out in the last ten years.

Good luck.

Nick - you friggin' quitter. That attitude won't get you on the leader board anytime soon. And don't try to tell me you don't care - I know you're just DYING to get on there. You think about it day and night and it's starting to interfere with your work and personal life.

Kano said...

Battlefield Earth - was a major bomb, co-starred Forest Whitaker.

Fox said...

The Core? Paycheck?

Clive Dangerously said...

Well, I guess it didn't bomb miserably, but didn't turn a profit.

Fox said...

Dangit Fletch... these things drive me crazy! I can't stop looking at them!...

Fletch said...

Here are some more straws for you all to grasp at:

;)

Rachel said...

The Time Machine?

I'm also gonna say Eragon, though that's fantasy and not sci-fi, but why the hell not?

Anonymous said...

Anaconda? not really sci-fi, but I could see that...

Dark City?

Jason said...

Since I have the lead, and I have already spent too much time on this anyway, I am just going to sit back and let this one play out.

Fletch said...

Yeah, I'm content to just watch this end as a stumper rather than hinting everyone to the point where it's too easy. I'm confident that I've given good hints that narrow it down pretty well, and also that no one's going to get it before I post a new one.

(It's right about this time that someone pipes up with the answer, though...)

Jason said...

Ok, I lied. Is is A Sound of Thunder

Fletch said...

Like effing clockwork...

Congrats.

Anonymous said...

i am also bored... how about K-Pax, Panic Room, or Next

-Gay

Jason said...

Sorry man. I literally found it 5 minutes after you posted that no one would find it. Way to make that one incredibly hard by the way. I began to question even if it was A Sound of Thunder or not.

Nick said...

FUCK.

I so wanted on that leader board.

I was waiting for more clues -_- . But everytime I look, there's either only a couple guesses... or there's a ton of comments with a right answer. There's never any in-between :( .
