21 questions movie game

[OzzieAlThor]

So far this thing isn't a comedy, action movie, drama, horror, sci-fi, romance, musical, anime (or animated movie), War movie or documentary.

 

Unless this thing is porn, I am out of ideas of what genre it could possibly be.

[Emperor]

I think the biggest hint is that IMDB lists no box office. 

[Emperor]

Continuing with this train of thought.... it could be a straight to DVD release... which means shoddy sequel... maybe.  I hate to burn a question without giving it some thought.

Look for straight to VHS considering the time frame.

 

That said, it doesn't answer the genre question.

[Shendare]

Family? Is that a genre? Could be a live-action family movie, I suppose.

Hard to be a DVD in 1970

[Kivam]

Q19: Was the film ever released in the U.S.?

If it was 1975 your looking at a beta max. 76 was VHS.

I have no idea what they had prior to that for 'home use' aside from personal projectors....

[Emperor]

I forget how old this movie is sometimes.  Probably not a live action family move as I do not believe they were going on back then.  Maybe a more appropriate question to ask for 19 would be... would the general us public have HEARD of this movie... as I am betting it was released in the US.

[ironcross]

i will answer question 19 as it has not been retracted, and will give you a hint

 

Q19: Was the film ever released in the U.S.? yes it was

 

and the hint is that it dose have a verry well known actor in it.

[Emperor]

I think I have it.  Making up list....

[Emperor]

Here is my thinking.  The movie is a spagetti western. 

[Emperor]

[ironcross]

im just wondering, are these lists based on emppys thought that this is a spagettie western?

[Emperor]

Yeah... I felt confident it was a western from Italy as it is the only genre I can think of left.  Also the spagetti western was popular during this time.  I found that list on wikipedia...

[Emperor]

The Five Man Army  1969 - That is if you count as Peter Graves being well known. 

The Price of Power  1969 - Nope... has Box Office

Django and Sartana Are Coming....It's the End  1970 

Return of Sabata  1971 - box office

Go Away! Trinity Has Arrived in Eldorado  1972

 

I am not feeling any of these really.  I was thinking it would be something a little more well know... like the Good, bad or ugly or once upon a time in the west or something.  Something with Clint Eastwood.

 

So I am going to ask....

 

Q20:  Is the movie of the Western Genre?

 

If so, we know it is a spagetti western and I think with the hints we have we can make an educated guess for 21.

[Cadsuane]

Well, my concern is that ironcross asked because it isn't on the list. So... yeah. If that's true, we're sorta screwed. ^_^

[ironcross]

Q20:  Is the movie of the Western Genre? no im afraid it is not, although i do like them a lot.

[Emperor]

*shakes Iron*

 

Ok time to work my magic....

 

 

Italy or Iceland... no box office... big actor.... not a common genre...

 

I am glad it is Friday...

Summary of questions...

 

3 or more words in the title

It is NOT a Doc, War, Western, Comedy, Action, Romance, Musical, Drama, Horror, Animated or Sci-Fi

No Box Office Listed on IMDB

Originally released in Iceland or Italy

Released in USA

Released  between 69 and 72

Hinted at big actor being in it "and the hint is that it dose have a verry well known actor in it"

 

[ironcross]

awww dose empy need anuder witle hint?

[Emperor]

Naw, I doubt we get it though.  None of the movies stand out to me.  I plan to take a stab at it if no one comes up with anything though.

[Emperor]

I have learned much more than I ever needed about Italian Cinema.  My guess is this film is of the Crime genre now.  However, I can not find one that is Crime only and not mixed with other genres we have excluded. 

 

So since I am tired and just want to know the answer, I will make an educated, yet wrong guess.

 

Is the movie Morte risale a ieri sera, La?

 

Nope, then what is it?
