Name that movie
Below are a few excerpts from movie scripts. Can you name them?
MOVIE 1 (what is it? Mom?)
FADE IN:
1 INT. CHANCE'S ROOM - DAWN
A large-screen color TV dominates a room sparsely decorated with expensive furniture of the twenties. There are no books, magazines, newspapers to be seen. A man, CHANCE, is in bed, sleeping. His eyes slowly open, and, with no change of expression, he sits up and turns on the TV with a remote control. He reaches for a pocketwatch on the bedside table, and, as he looks at it, the watch chimes. He gets out of bed, crosses to the closet, his eyes never straying from the TV. Chance puts on a bathrobe and leaves the room.
2 INT. POTTING ROOM - DAWN
The room is filled with the tools of a gardener. Chance enters and turns on a 1940's black and white TV that sits on a shelf. A wheel with colored gels spins in front of the set, giving an early form of color television. He waters a few of the plants in the potting room as he watches TV.
3 INT. GARAGE - DAWN Chance, with a dust rag and feather duster, cleans off a 1935 limousine, in perfect condition.
MOVIE 2 (What is it?)
...... highlands - night
Hand in hand through the heather they run, silhouettes along a ridge, their breath blowing silver clouds in the moonlight, the ..... wind whipping through their hair.
They stop at a grove at the edge of a precipice, overlooking a loch gleaming in the moonlight. So beautiful it’s sacred.
Marion
You’ve been here before?
William
Some nights. I have dreams. Mostly dreams I don’t want. I started riding at night to fill up my mind so that when I did sleep I’d dream only of the ride and the adventure.
Marion
Did it work?
William
No. You don’t choose your dreams. Your dreams choose you.
He looks at her. They kiss suddenly, so long and hard that they tumble into the heather, rolling, devouring each other. Through their passion...
William
I want...to marry you!
marion
I...accept your proposal!
William
I’m not just saying it!
Marion
Nor I!
William
But I won’t give you up to any nobleman.
Marion
(stopping)
You scare me.
William
I don’t want to scare you. I want to be yours, and you mine. Every night like this one.
Marion
This night is too beautiful to have again.
William
I will be with you, like this. Forever.
They kiss again...
MOVIE 3
CHRISTIAN V/O
This story is about love. The woman I loved is, she
is…she is….
Christian breaks off. A moment of anguish. Barely able to form the words, he forces himself to write.
CHRISTIAN V/O (CONT’D)
The woman I loved is dead.
CLOSE ON: Christian, staring, lost.
SUDDENLY: We see words as Christian continues typing.
CHRISTIAN V/O (CONT’D)
She was the most beautiful courtesan in all...(Where... this is me, Munga, typing)

Is number two the script from the night we met?
Hints:
Movie 1 will most likely be remembered by Mom. It's about a guy being in his own little world of TV. He goes far.
Movie 2 will most likely be remembered by Megan and Katie. I took out some helpful place names. The movie is spoken a little differently, and one line that may have been anti-semetic improv was left out.
Movie 3 had a very important place name removed at the very end, for fear the movie would be given away. This is the very beginning of the movie. It was a very distinct movie, thought to be a potential flop, but it made it, and if I describe it in any way, it will be given away.
movie 1: Being There, starring Peter Sellers. Fab movie!
Movie 2: should I spoil it for the others? After all, they're working harder than I am.....I'll give them a chance....
Movie 3: still working on that one....
Gosh....don't have a clue about No. 3, but I feel like a fool b/c it seems so familiar.
BEING THERE! You got it. I Didn't know if that was clear enough.
That's right!
gosh, am I the only one playing this game? No one got #2. yet???
Megan siad it yesterday. But she hasn't written it yet.
Noone has gotten the 3rd. I gave you a pretty good hint mom.
Here's a hint: red is in the title.
Number 2 is Braveheart. "I love ya. I always Have. I want to marry ya." Theme of X-Mas 1996
