"Guess the movie from the Screenshot" game

It is not There Will Be Blood. And West Virginia is a good clue.

Surely somebody besides Mark and I has seen this movie?

City of Hope? Matewan?

OK, and those were obvious faces in that last post, so I was able to confirm that I've never seen this film, but apparently I should give it a go. I'll look it up.

It is John Sayles' Matewan (1987). Geesh. Everybody go watch it ASAP, if not sooner. Chris Cooper's were the eyes over that newspaper. It was his film debut. Also starring James Earl Jones, Kevin Tighe, Bob Guton, and Sayles regulars Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, and Gordon Clapp. Sayles himself is in one of the pictures I posted, playing a preacher.




Max, mercifully it is your turn.

Ugh. Thanks. Chris Cooper!!! I could see his face in a hundred different shots but couldn't for the life of me place a movie to remember his name! Great post. I couldn't get my head out of bootlegging. =(

I'm going to find this movie now.... Thanks for the reference.

Sayles is one of the directors I am itching to get to this year. I haven't even seen Lone Star yet and that was pretty popular when I was at Blockbuster. Now that you say that is Chris Cooper I can totally see it. I wouldn't have gotten the movie anyway.

He's one of my favorite filmmakers. I think Lonestar, Matewan, Eight Men Out, Passion Fish, Limbo, Men with Guns, The Secret of Roan Inish, and Honeydripper are all his best, but I like 'em all, really.

Enjoy!

Don't think I knew Eight Men Out was him. I love that film, been quite a few years at this point.
