Movie Title Game: Before & After


Just like the Jeopardy category Before & After.

The answer is a combination of two movie titles.

First one...
Matthew McConaughey is a lawyer who teams up with Uma Thurman to exact vengeance.

BullSchmidt had our inaugural correct answer with...A Time to Kill Bill

After a threat from the tiger Shere Khan forces him to flee the jungle, a man-cub named Mowgli, with the help of panther Bagheera and free-spirited bear Baloo, introduce four lifelong friends to the book Fifty Shades of Grey. Stars Jane Fonda as "Rudyard Kipling."

reply

The Jungle Book Club ;)

I've seen the first movie (umpteen times) but not the second. It sounds...umm...awkward?

reply

Yes!

I never saw it either. Something about seeing 80 year old Jane Fonda caressing her own breasts in the trailer made me lose interest;. https://youtu.be/6QgufOrZaTw?t=40

reply

The Paper Chasing Amy ;)

I saw the first one a few years ago. Just happened upon it and was hooked from the start. Great story.

reply

Right. Loved the casting in Paper Chase, a lot of good young actors.

reply

The way Bell called everyone else a "pimp" really made me laugh. Seemed like a very peculiar insult for Harvard Law students.

reply

Especially considering he was such a chubby wimp, I imagine him slap fighting like a girl if push came to slap.

reply

Right? I bet the Harvard cafeteria ladies could've taken him down in a fight.

reply

I've got a friend who works for one of the Hollywood studios. He's told me some stories about various actors. According to him, John Houseman was one of the friendliest, laid-back people he's ever met.

reply

Nice. I've read stories about actors who play excellent villains but are more than nice in real life. On this list, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman really stand out.

IMO Houseman saw his late acting career as a lark. grateful that people would pay an old time Hollywood producer for appearing in movies like his last film Naked Gun 2 1/2. His IMDB bio is an interesting read, he has 3 different books he wrote about his career and his love/hate relationship with Orson Welles. Answer me this how does IMDB choose which movie an actor is most identified with? Houseman won the Oscar for Paper Chase yet they list 3 Days of the Condor first.

Don't ask me why IMDB does anything. They wouldn't like my answer. ;)

reply

What About Bob Roberts?

reply

Correct

reply

The second title is pretty obscure; there's no restriction against Googling but feel especially free to do so here.

A mail room clerk and a chimp team up to pick hit TV shows and assassinate John F. Kennedy. Stars Kurt Russell as "Grandpa Walton."

EDIT: It's been a full day, so here's the answer:

The two movies are:

The Barefoot Executive (1971)
Executive Action (1973)

So, The Barefoot Executive Action.
