View Full Version : That Reminds Me

I don't know how well this will go over, but it could be interesting...Maybe even fun :p
Sometimes a movie will remind you of another movie...It could be because the movies are similar (same theme, same atmosphere, a similar title, etcetera)...Or it could be that it has an actor or a character that makes you think of another movie with that actor or similar character...The memory could also be personal, maybe you watched 2 movies on the same night, with the same person or as a double-feature (like at the drive-in), so one movie makes you think of the other...Sometimes we don't have any idea why a movie might makes us think of another one, but it happens
Anyway...This is how it's done
One person says '*movie title* reminds me of *movie title*...Then gives a reason why (if they HAVE a reason, if there is no reason, or you just don't want to explain, then don't give a reason)....The next person takes the last movie mentioned and says '*last movie title* reminds me of *movie title*'...and it keeps going from there
Example:
Start with Dreamscape
First answerer: Dreamscape reminds me of Nightmare On Elm Street
That's pretty self-explanatory...People being killed in their dreams
Second answerer: Nightmare On Elm Street reminds me of Sleepy Hollow
Johnny Depp was in both
Third answerer: Sleepy Hollow reminds me of Scanners
People lose their heads
The next person would start with 'Scanners'
I hope this isn't too complicated :)
If more than one person responds to the same thing, just go with the last movie you see mentioned at the time that you post your answer.

Eraserhead reminds me of Tetsuo - It's clear that Shinya Tsukamoto took a LOT of his inspiration from Lynch and I can't think of one of these films without immediately thinking of the other.

Sorry Doll, I have to use the other account to clean up after the stupid spammers, they seem to be relentless now, and as SOON as I sign into THIS account, they start again...So, I stayed on the other for a little while
I can ban them while I'm on this account (because the ban board is separate), but I have to switch to remove their stupid posts from here
