Somehow it looks very John-Hughs-ish

I don't recognize the girl or the decor.

Still not familiar.

It's tempting to say that this movie was made in the early 70s or whenever, but there's something about the first picture (maybe the decor) that makes me think that the movie is fairly recent, and that someone went through a lot of trouble to fill up the parking lot in pic #2 with vintage autos.

The girl in the first pciture looks somewhat familiar but I haven't a clue what this movie is.

Clue 3 is on its way...

Posted by: James at December 28, 2004 12:29 PM

The guy in the foreground is my coworker Erich. I don't know the other people, or I can't make them out well enough to identify them. It's very likely I didn't see the movie. :)

Clue 4 is up!

Posted by: James at December 28, 2004 1:26 PM

Love the tie clips, but still stumped.

Posted by: Julie at December 28, 2004 1:26 PM

I finally got it on #4, but I'm not allowed to say. If you've seen the movie, you'll get it on four. I think if the girl had been in her own door, and not the hall door, I would have gotten it.

Wait a second... that guy in the foreground... that's not my coworker Erich (he kept denying it and now I believe him). He looks a lot like Gob. But I looked up Gob on imdb and don't recognize any of the movie titles. Do I at least have the right guy?

Middle Guy in pic. #4 also looks familiar... from recently. Which would mean that the vintage cars were indeed vintage at the time of filming.

I think I got it on 4 as well. I remember the scene. I'll give a clue (assuming I'm right). The guy is holding two different types of air filters.

Posted by: B.O.B.(bob) at December 28, 2004 1:40 PM

I knew the round one was an air filter, but I wasn't sure about the other. Well, I still don't know the movie, but now I know what two kinds of air filters look like. Woohoo!!

APOLLO 13!! I knew it!!!!!!

Posted by: ryan at December 28, 2004 1:58 PM

Really? So that wasn't Gob OR Erich? Oh well. At least I was right about the cars. :)

(The colors in the hallway seemed wrong for the period.)

Posted by: Julie at December 28, 2004 2:12 PM

Oh and I saw that movie twice. I suck!

Posted by: Julie at December 28, 2004 2:13 PM

It is, indeed, Apollo 13. In the first image we see Jim Lovell's daughter asking him if she can wear what she's wearing (he's just heard his team is queued up for the next mission).

Second picture sets the era a little more. On the left, if you look really closely, you can see the edge of a sign which says "good luck Apollo 13" -- only the "3" is visible here. No one seems to have noticed the edge of the sign.

Third image, that's Armstrong and Aldrin sitting down to keep Jim Lovell's mom company during the crisis.

4th image the engineer is trying to tell a room full of other engineers that they have to build something to allow the scrubbers from one module to work in the other.

Good effort, all!

Posted by: James at December 28, 2004 2:20 PM

Ah yes. I recognize the third frame now. It happens just before Lovell's mom tells Aldrin that she knows the missions are all fakes, and that Aldrin never really went to the moon. Aldrin reacts poorly.

Posted by: Julie at December 28, 2004 2:25 PM

Never saw it. This explains why none of it looked even remotely familiar! :)

Sorry for getting in on this so late... I've had a bad couple days. I knew from the very first image that this was Apollo 13. The older daughter, manic for the Beatles and dressing in the teen trends of the time period were pretty memorable. Nice one James, this is one of my favorite movies!!!
