ITT: WE poorly describe movies we love

[DivingDogDoc]

yeah, i still feel like a sucker. You got me. Kudos

 

[DivingDogDoc]

as for the other movie....the last samarai and the sons of Katie Elder come to mind but I know neither one is correct

 

[DivingDogDoc]

It's not the Outlaw Jose Wales is it?

 

[Gombessa]

The second one goes to similar lengths of misdirection as the first one

I've never seen Last Samurai or Katie Elder, but you guys were on the right track earlier on...

 

[DivingDogDoc]

road warrior

 

[Gombessa]

Wow, I had no idea all of these movies had child abduction elements!!

Hint: The movie has a strong connection with Bad Horse and the Evil League of Evil.

 

[Rhone Man]

A foreign ruler forcibly repatriates indigenous people. The hero, upon seeing the refugees remonstrates with the ruler, and enters in a bargain with him whereby the hero undertakes an asset retrieval exercise in exchange for the ruler making alternative arrangements for the indigenous peoples. The hero completes the task, but then later double crosses the ruler and appropriates the asset for himself. Then the foreign ruler gets eaten.

Giving up waiting for you guys. It was "Shrek".

well i think they just killed kids in road warrior, and no that's why samaria didn't work, but i'm outta options

Rhone, I totally thought through Shrek, but for some reason I couldn't reconcile it (my memory was too shaky)--nice job!

Doc, with the possible exception of Road Warrior, you obviously watch more substantive movies than I do It's Serenity, directed by Joss Whedon (who also directed Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which was the Bad Horse reference).

And now I start the commute. Hope to see this thread continuing on

Rich kid with over priced toys finds that dead parent left antique trinket critical to saving the universe. Kid has to give up secret of all time to save only true love, but wins over bad guys anyway. Still only end up with true love until there is a sequel.[/QUOTE]

DOH Rhone, you got me too. Sorry Gam never seen Serenity. If it helps this was a blockbuster though.:kiss2:
