A bit of a silver screen nerd and also pretty good at cross referencing off of other clues in the pictures.
Name the Movie!
- Thread starter onomatopoeia
- Start date
In this case, I almost did answer just "The Rutles".
Actually, I almost answered Yellow Submarine Sandwich because I was half convinced the short came before the documentary, but I looked it up.
I took my final spelling from IMDB.
The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (TV Movie 1978) ⭐ 7.3 | Comedy, Music
1h 16m | Not Rated

Other than to provide amusement and intellectual/ memory challenge, ALL of the trivia threads are designed to generate the maximum number of page views. If ALL of the questions were too easy, the first person who sees them would answer all of them. If ALL of the questions were too difficult, few people would open the thread more than once.
The format allows people to play 'as amateurs' long after the questions have been answered, because the questions and answers rarely appear on the same page.

Oh hang on, there seem to be multiple interpretations of the title.
So upon further research, I appear am missing a "The"
Star War The Third Gathers: The Backstroke of the West
Name the movie.
Final answer?, (see post #170).
@Valcazar: Zombeavers is Correct!. The question post has been updated. The confirmation reply will be posted later, as part of a batch.

See post #677.
Research on imdb isn't cheating, but it is a time expense which can result in a Too Slow if other player are reading the thread at the same time.
There is one movie in particular from a previous round, (as yet unidentified), where studying the screen cap for clues would be especially helpful.
This game was originally intended to be played in 'real time', with all serious players reading the board at the same time, with all of the questions posted as a single batch, ten per post, and with a specific starting time. The sequence in which one answered questions would have been strategic.
Star War the Third Gathers: The Backstroke of the West is Correct!, and the question post has been updated.
Yellow Submarine Sandwich is part of the movie; it's not a movie itself, (ie: there is only the animation for Cheese and Onions).In this case, I almost did answer just "The Rutles".

Neil Innes, as Ron Nasty, originally performed Cheese and Onions on Saturday Night Live S02E20, (April 23, 1977), 11 months before The Rutles in All You need is Cash first aired.
The dialogue is identical to the captions.
from Wikipedia:
"In 2016, a fandub of Revenge of the Sith was released titled Star War [sic] the Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West. The script used in the fandub originated from the English subtitles of a Mandarin Chinese bootleg DVD of the film that had been purchased by an American in Shanghai. The subtitles, almost entirely filled with errors and mistranslations, stemmed from a bootlegger first having listened to the film in English, writing down what they believed to have heard and occasionally making things up, which was then converted into Mandarin and back into English via inaccurate machine translation, resulting in nonsensical Chinglish. ".
I have a 'Chinatown' bootleg DVD of the 2005 King Kong, obviously shot from inside a movie theater because a couple of people walk in front of the screen right at the beginning, and someone's cell phone rings during the movie.
The subtitles for this one have nothing at all to do with the movie; they appear to be a conversation between two high school kids texting each other during detention. I tried, unsuccessfully, to make a compressed version which included the subtitles, but I might be able to do that with Handbrake.
