Today, as an added treat for this month's edition of Mock Squid Soup, all society members are invited to post three hints about their film choice for the month. All are welcome to guess, of course. Here are the three clues for my movie:
- This late 1980s film includes footage from a mid 1950s epic.
- This surprise hit was the breakout movie for a Hollywood A-lister. While he has played a wide variety of roles over the years since, he never quite managed to shake his original image of lovable idiot.
- One of standup comedy's all-time greats performs a guru/narrator role.
Any guesses? Society reviews will be posted next Friday, June 12th. See you then. Meanwhile, please visit my fellow cinephiles today:
Hmmm. I'm sure I've seen this one, but I'm currently stumped! I look forward to the reveal.

I'd be shocked if you haven't seen it - truly an iconic film for our generation.
DeleteI really don't have a clue about this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure someone will guess it today.
DeleteI can't image, but maybe "Mad Mad World"?
ReplyDeleteGood guess but no.
DeleteOMG-First i have to post mine as Bonehead blog hop happens today too.hmmm. how boneheaded of me:) I am really trying to figure this one out and am wondering if John Ravolta is in this one:)
ReplyDeleteTravolta's a good guess. Think younger.
DeleteI feel like I ought to know this, but I'm not pulling it up.
ReplyDelete(I'll be out of town next week. Ep. 2 will post, but I won't be around for comments until I'm back. So you know.)
Enjoy your trip!
DeleteI am guessing Steve Martin in The Man in a Plaid Suit, or something to do with plaid.
ReplyDeleteInteresting guess but no.
DeleteForrest Gump?? Well, the narrator part doesn't fit, I guess. Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteNot Hanks. Again, think younger.
DeleteI was thinking Sleepless in Seattle on the commute home, but now I see that came out in 1993....
ReplyDeleteV :)
A few years earlier...
DeleteDead Men Don't Wear Plaid fits, but it was early 80's.
ReplyDeleteNext guess would be the Purple Rose of Cairo.
Best I got.
Interesting guess... But it's not Woody.
DeleteBill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

DeleteI gotta get to the party ealier next time, not that I would have guessed it, but I'm excited to see your review of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Many say it's the most accurate time travel movie out there.
ReplyDeleteStrange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
DeleteI feel like I should know this, but I'm stumped. Oh okay...I scrolled upwards in the comment section. :)
ReplyDeleteAll we are is dust in the wind, Dude.
DeleteI've actually not seen that movie except in bits and pieces. I guess I better netflix it or something :)
ReplyDeleteWatch out for the royal ugly dudes.
DeleteI watched this movie many times back in the 80s. I still hear the way they said Socrates. :)
