Name That Movie #61

Okay, that's long enough… time for another name that movie!  You know the drill…

Below is an image from a movie.  If you can guess the movie via that one image, do so, if not, links to further images will be posted throughout the day.  The second image should be more obvious, and the third image even moreso, and so on.  Please try not to read the comments before you guess!

NTM is JavaScript driven and will automagically make the images available at the listed times. Once you've got the page open, you can refresh the image links just by clicking the refresh button below, this will check the clock and enable further images as appropriate. Times displayed should be in your local timezone. (Yes, obviously you can cheat either by viewing the source, or simply changing the time on your clock.)

The image links will replace the primary displayed image when you mouse over them.  This way you can view the images right in the article without having to open up new windows.  You may have to wait a second or two for the new image to download before it will replace the primary image.  The original primary image will return when you mouse off of the image link.

I will, as time permits, also post the image links in comments for those of you whom cannot run javascript.

That said, here's the first image…

 

GOOD LUCK!!!

  1. I can't even tell what that is, in that #9 picture. Picture #8 kinda confirms Apocalypse Now for me, though.

  2. Apocalypse Now, huh? Maybe that's what I *wanted* you to think.
    I think James will get this on image #5 or #6 if not earlier. I think he's just been too busy to guess.

  3. Okay, when he said he expected all of us to get it, I thought that meant all of us would have seen it. I've never seen Predator.

  4. nor have I. My 1st guess was Apocalype but I didn't think Chuck would pick that. None of the other images really helped since I've never seen it. i did get it on 10 though!

  5. Well the gimme is up! Surely anyone seeing this image will know that it is indeed the 1987 sci/fi-action classic Predator starring the Governator himself. It is a dreadfully bad movie but great fun to watch. I thought that everyone who comments here would probably have seen this film… I figure if you troubled yourself to watch Terminator, you'd probably watch Predator.
    And James is right, I tried to choose difficult images. This was hard to do because Predator is so visually memorable that unless I chose nondescript bits of jungle, practically anything I chose would be grossly obvious. In all I collected about 70 shots from the movie and then carefully selected ones that might cause people to guess Apocalypse Now or some sort of Vietnam War movie.
    If anyone else wants to indicate on what image they guessed the movie please feel free to impress us all! :-)

  6. If someone hadn't already mentioned Predator, I probably still wouldn't have guessed it, even with #10. I would have had to check IMDB!

  7. Wow – I'm surprised you've never seen that film.
    It's a classic. I think it's one of Arnie's better films, actually. Cheesy, yeas, but what else would you expect?

  8. I started guessing Anadonda but on image 3 I started thinking no has to be Predator. Image 4 had me thinking Anaconda again. By image 8 I knew it was Predator. Thanks honey.
    Patty S.

  9. I can't believe it, Chuck! Image 2: Predator. Just a feeling, though, I wouldn't have bet my life on it… but I didn't know you were doing a NTM yesterday! :-( I had to teach, so I wasn't home anyway.

  10. Oh, yeah, I should say that the boom box confirmed it for me, and up until then I was thinking, could be, but I'm not sure. Something about that coiled rope reminded me of a trap in Predator. I don't even know if that's what it is.
    Geez, I work for a day and you put up, like, three posts!!

  11. Image 2, huh? I'm impressed! Good for you, Maggie. I had a hellish time picking images for this movie.
    If it bleeds, we can kill it.

  12. Yes. I'm really mad that I didn't do it in a timely way! It's probably the only NTM you'll ever do that I'll ever guess before anybody else, and I got it a day late. :-P I've seen Predator a few times. It's not like Aliens, which I could probably get on any image (plus it's pretty distinctive), but at least I actually *watched* while I was watching it. I don't know if you had the helicopters before or after the boom box, but I was sure on the helicopters, too. All of those other images, the jungles and the maps, could have been anything, but they could've been Predator, too.
