Mock Squid Soup: October Trivia Teaser
Today, 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. My three clues:
- The movie is 96 minutes long. All but about three of those minutes are filmed in the same room.
- Sonia Sotomayor claims the film as an important influence on her life.
- The movie was recently parodied by Amy Schumer.
Any guesses? Society reviews will be posted next Friday, August 14th. See you then. Meanwhile, please visit my fellow cinephiles today:

Happy October!
Happy October to you!

Cue the Jeopardy theme... Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
DeleteBased on the 2nd and 3rd clues, I'm going with 12 Angry Men.
ReplyDeleteWinner!
DeleteToi's on fire this month. Plus she picked a film none of us could guess. Checkmate!
Wow. That's a first for me with the right movie guess.
DeleteI'm with the very perceptive Toinette on this one.
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent strategy this month.
DeleteAw, I was going to go with the underrated, but awesome, My Dinner With Andre, but I went ahead and read the comments.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cyg! I've only ever seen parodies of that movie.
DeleteI would never have guessed this and now I'd like to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt, it's one of the very best.
DeleteSounds great. I need to watch this movie now.
ReplyDeleteIf there's a must-see movie list, 12 Angry Men is definitely on it.
DeleteAll filmed in the same room? That's an amazingly skilled director! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCertainly not always the same angle, though. Shot variation is both thoughtful and effective. It is, by any standard, a brilliantly made film.
