Name a character from a well known movie and we'll guess the title

77. How About Bob Rumson

[peacefreak]

177. Bob Rumson?

American President.
Bob's problem isn't that he doesn't get it. Bob's problem is that he can't sell it! We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things and two things only: making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections. You gather a group of middle-aged, middle-class, middle-income voters who remember with longing an easier time, and you talk to them about family and American values and character. And wave an old photo of the President's girlfriend and you scream about patriotism and you tell them, she's to blame for their lot in life, and you go on television and you call her a whore. Sydney Ellen Wade has done nothing to you, Bob. She has done nothing but put herself through school, represent the interests of public school teachers, and lobby for the safety of our natural resources. You want a character debate, Bob? You better stick with me, 'cause Sydney Ellen Wade is way out of your league.

Peter O'Toole plays an English Lord who first thinks he is Jesus Christ, then Jack the Ripper. A wickedly funny movie for the first hour that turns absolutely terrifying (but still with some incredible black humor) for the last hour.

GREAT movie. Depressing as all hell, but some fantastic acting by all three - Huston, Bening, Cusak. (Cusack?)

Have you seen Running With Scissors? Her portrayal of Deirdre Burroughs is beyond description!

[bertha katzenengel]

226. Nope, haven't seen it. Should I? -- And that nude scene in The Grifters:

I'm not into nudity as titillation. Some nudity is just beautiful, and although the scene was sordid, that was beautiful nudity. And that took some ovaries to do the scene so very well.

[southpaw]

231. As for Running With Scissors

I'd say yeah, see it. It's not a great movie, but Annette Bening is wonderful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYXtC8Ymtqw&feature=related

As for The Grifters... I really need to watch that movie again from a more mature perspective. I viewed the nudity through the eyes of a guy in his early twenties.

273. " Daniel"?

In Sidney Lumet's Daniel, Timothy Hutton played Daniel and Amanda Plummer was his sister Susan.

[NewEnglandGirl]

274. No, I would have given last names but they were

not used in this film.

[Phentex]

267. Doc Hopper

:)

[Graybeard]

280. The Muppet Movie

The always funny Charles Durning.

(Frogs legs anyone?)

[Danger Mouse]

283. Agreed. Grade A film asshole.

[Danger Mouse]

272. Dr. Blair

[nuxvomica]

286. The Thing

The John Carpenter one.

[cemaphonic]

278. The Farmer

never named in the movie, and so described in the credits.

[nuxvomica]

285. Animal Farm?

Just a guess.

[cemaphonic]

288. nope!

[cemaphonic]

291. a further hint

The actor that played him is a famous playwright.

[nuxvomica]

292. Sam Sheppard in Days of Heaven

The playwright thing is a huge hint. :D

[cemaphonic]

294. That's it!

a huge hint, but probably a necessary one. Unless you've watched it recently, (as I had) it would be hard to remember that his character was anonymous, instead of just not remembering what his name was.

[nuxvomica]

295. I have to admit I've never seen it

It's on my list of movies that I want to see but have never gotten around to it.

[cemaphonic]

298. It's a good movie, though in kind of an odd way

It is often criticized as being slow, and emotionally subdued, and that is pretty accurate. But the plot is really just a soap-opera melodrama, and a conventional approach to it would have made the movie pretty cheesy and forgettable, even with all the period detail. But there are really a lot of interesting nuances to it, especially in the narration.

Plus the cinematography is totally stunning.

[Fire Walk With Me]

290. Bruce.

Something's fishy about that character.

[charlie and algernon]

296. i was going to say Bruce Almighty

but now I read your post, so I say Finding Nemo
