Blood diamond?

No, no, and no.

And obviously, leading with the Stars hasn't hurt the difficulty in this case.

True dat.

TIL that Leo pretty much looks the same in all of his modern-era films.

Wiki

Revolutionary Road is a 2008 British-American romantic drama film directed by Sam Mendes.
...
The film premiered in Los Angeles on 15 December 2008, followed by a limited U.S. release on 26 December 2008 and a wide U.S. release on 23 January 2009.
...
Revolutionary Road had a limited release in the United States at three theatres on December 26, 2008, and a wide release at 1,058 theatres on January 23, 2009. Revolutionary Road has earned $22.9 million at the domestic box office and $51.7 million internationally for a worldwide total of $74.6 million.

Winslet won the Golden Globe for Best Actress, Leo and Mendes were nominated for their categories.

All that being said, I was unaware of it until I picked it off of IMDB.

Read the synopsis. Yup, never heard of it. Don't believe I ever saw a trailer either. Plus, it sounds depressing as hell.

It was but it was also very good.

Moliere · Post by **Moliere** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:34 pm

This should clear things up.

Wild card?

I remember him with those hair (the long one) from a movie but I can't put my finger on which one , wasn't that long ago I saw it too

Every image on the internet for this movie is a close-up of Jason looking like Jason in every other movie. Someone else go.

I haven't gone in a while and I have a good one in mind.

Oh, oh, oh... I know what it isn't! Does that count?

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 11:43 am

You know, I may have seen Redemption. But I'm not sure. I've lost track of the movies that Statham has been in. Seems like every time I turn around there is another one.

Not for much

I've been wanting to watch this again to see how well it holds up. I guess that's a bit of a hint. Here's another:

Not a single guess? One or two more than I'll give it up. If it helps, the title character has been in all but one screen shot so far.

tgb · Post by **tgb** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 7:42 pm

OK. Not a single guess.

The movie is Putney Swope, considered pretty outrageous back in the day, but I haven't seen it since so I don't know how well it holds up.

Oh, and the director? Robert Downey Sr.

Someone take it.

I know it from the Mad Magazine treatment!

I'll take it. I haven't participated in a while.

There's only one way to find out.

Thanks. I don't know why that didn't occur to me. And here I was lamenting that Netflix only offered it on DVD and Amazon wanted $.

Max Peck · Post by **Max Peck** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 10:38 pm

I stand corrected; there were three ways to find out.

It looks really familiar but I can't place it.

From now on it's harder to be subtle.

This one's a definite giveaway for anyone who has seen the movie.

Shall I spoil it now?

I have not seen it.

You have it!

This one is on my mind because I stumbled across it again on YouTube. It completely drew me in, and I watched the whole thing in one sitting.
