Name that film

[Max Payne]

Let's play a game. A person describes a movie with as short a summary they can come up with, then we try and figure it out what that film is. The person that gets it right will come up with the next one.

I'll start as example:

Disgruntled writer living alone goes apeshit after prolonged bout of insanity.

 

[Bex]

It could count as The Shining, but it's probs not.

 

[Max Payne]

Nay. Here's a hint, it features one of the most charismatic actors in hollywood.

 

[Pixel]

A beautiful mind?

 

[Max Payne]

WRONG AGAIN.

 

[Pixel]

Is it a nicolas cage film?

Adaptation?

 

[Max Payne]

It is an adaptation of a written story. Last hint.

 

[Althea]

Oh I know what it is crap it's the one, the Secret Window....amirite?

 

[Max Payne]

Oh I know what it is crap it's the one, the Secret Window....amirite?

DING DING DING

 

[Max Payne]

Now it's your turn.

 

[Super Mario]

A crazy retiree and a pedophile's conflicting life.

 

[Althea]

^^lol thanks I'm Batman, but sure go with Dark Santa's cause Im running a blank here to think of something concise (brain dead from uni stuff xD)

 

[Max Payne]

I have no idea what he's talking about.

 

[Althea]

Okay well I have an easy enough one...I think it is anyways.

A bunch of psychics trying to bring down a secret government agency

 

[Loxetta]

Men who stare at goats?

 

[Althea]

nope

 

[Interslicery]

Akira?

 

[Althea]

No...It's Hollywood I would say it's more B movie quality than A list stuff although it has two well noted actors in it in the loosest sense of the word.

A clue to it

There are different types of psychics like pushers, shadows and watchers

 

[Interslicery]

I know what movie you're talking about, wont say cause Im about to head out to work. But they never in that movie call them psychics, and there's people with abilities that arnt connected to psychics at all. if anything they're mutants

 

[Max Payne]

Push? Or some shit like that

 

[Althea]

^^Yep you got it

@Interslicery: They do call them psychics at the start. The whole thing was that the governments continued on from where the nazi's left off in developing psychic warfare.

I only say it cause I saw it yesterday xD

 

[Max Payne]

someone else come up with something.

 

[Cthulhu]

I'm not good at making cryptic / short descriptions without making them painfully obvious or of very well-known movies.

 

[Max Payne]

Fine.

Here's one.

Prison escapees make a desperate attempt to find a treasure that proves to be fake.
