Are you sure about Monsters Inc.? I just can't seem to remember. Mind you, I'm not really convinced of West Side Story myself.

It's when he is opening the doors in Titanic trying to find Jack. He opens one door and behind it, is Sulley (the big blue Monster) screaming like he was doing to get the kids to scream in the movie. About West Side Story, I remember a friend telling me that she heard a song that's from West Side Story, but I haven't seen it, so I can't say anything.

Yeah, I remember now. I haven't actually seen Monsters Inc, but I recognized the monster.

I thought I recognized a scene. BTW, if you ever have the chance to see WSS, see it. It's a classic and deservedly so.

I Do want to see WSS but I can't find it at the video club. Anyway, I just remembered one more: The Exorcist.

[–] Sweet T 21 years ago

The Excorcist! You're right! And wasn't The Terminator in there somewhere too? And Mary Poppins? Or am I losing it now?

The video club, what's that? Just a rental business or more like a book club, where you have to buy?

Life's full of questions, isn't it? There, another one.

Honestly, I don't remember those too, but perhaps you're right. The video club, it's rental business, you don't have to buy the DVD/Video.

No, it's a store near my house(there are many of these, but i am lucky enough to have one near my house) where you have an account, you go there, you choose a DVD or a video tape of the movie you want(they have movies of every kind and date) and they rent it to you.the really popular ones cost 1 Euro per day, but the older ones cost 1 Euro per 2 or 3 days! And when you have seen it, you bring it back and you pay. I think there is a very popular video club in America that is called Blockbuster, I think.You might know now what I mean.

[–] Sweet T 20 years ago

Oh, OK, a videotheque. But for only 1 euro per day? What cheap country do you live in? Here in Holland it's definitely more expensive, although I haven't seen a videotheque from the inside since the euro was introduced. It surely must be around 3 euro now.

But to stay on topic: seen the additional listing from the other guy? Such an elephant's memory! Kudos are due.

[–] justbefree1986 20 years ago

Actually now it's more expencive. It's 1.50 Euros, but still cheaper than in Holland. I live in Greece. Not all things here are as cheap as that, but many people rent movies here, so the price is pretty low. The video clubs that are open 24-7, that work with machines, cost about 2 euros.

I saw the additional listing from that guy! Great memory for sure!!!

A 50% raise in about six months time (in which I've been held hostage in the hospital, between being busy like hell)? Good greecious. :-) But you're right, still cheaper than over here. And more libertarian too, with those 24/7 video clubs! Over here they all shut down at 9 or 10 p.m. Well, maybe in Amsterdam and other big cities theý have them, I don't know.

BTW, be sure to check my other Cinémagique thread -- trying to pump some more life into this message board!!

Futhermore there's:
-Le parapluies de cherbourg (French film where they sing all the time)
If tou look in the park there is a false shop front which is an umbrella shop. It's from the movie. The love theme in Cinemagique is also from this movie.
-Monty Python and the quest for the Holy Grail
-The three musketeers
-Robin Hood
-Charlie Chaplin movie (don't know which one)
-Laurel and Hardy (don't know this one either)
-The wizard of Oz
-Tombstone
-Star Wars
-The Hunt for Red October
-Some Like it Hot
-The Pink Panther
-Mary Poppins (you were right, but there's no terminator)

I think that's all about what there is, except for one or two westerns perhaps.
Hope you enjoy

[–] SoundtrackScience 20 years ago

I was astonished to look over the first topic replies and notice that almost noone picked up the STAR WARS scene (inside the Death Star from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) ?!
Mary Poppins and Pinocchio were also marginally spotted... oh well.

I did spot Yul Brynner (possibly a scene from the Magnificent Seven, I'm not sure - he's the one firing first after Short's cellphone goes off) as well as some of the cast in a shot from Tombstone if I'm correct.

Concerning somewhere after George (Martin Short) escapes from the Persian boudoir scene, he climbs out a window and you see a scene with one of Hollywood's oldest stunt actors from the 20ies, Harold Lloyd.
I'm talking about the guy hanging on the clock (shortly followed by Laurel&Hardy pie-throwing scene and next some gangster showdown), in an infamous scene from "Safety Last" (1923). According to film history, he was one of the first actors not to use a stand-in.

George kind of acts like 'hang on, I'm just passing through!'
I thought this was one of the nicest pieces of cross-over film montage, together with the opening Titanic cargo doors and Star Wars Death Star sliding panels.

Also, another missed scene is when George opens cabins in Titanic: there's a scene with Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) hopping around with a scimitar, next to the scenes from The Exorcist (vomiting girl) , a growling Sulley (Monsters Inc.), and a chair-turning Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins).
A very nice hommage indeed.

reply

[–] EsbenTheis 20 years ago

Well you are quite right... How come none mentioned Star Wars?

And well I didn't in fact forget Inspector Clousseau...That's a scene from the Pink Panther, futher more the Exorcist has already been mentioned in another post, and so has Monsters inc. As for Hannibal Lecter, he is the star in silence of the Lambs is he not!

Very nice recognition of the early films I must say... I had no idea of the titles, except recognicing Laurel and Hardy.

To you others...thanks for the kudos... The long list comes from having seen Cinemagique so many times, and beeing one of my favorite attractions in disneyland Paris :-)
I just love when George's telephone rings and everybody start looking around...very funny.

reply

[–] SoundtrackScience 20 years ago

I've missed the first two scenes in Titanic where george randomly opens cabin doors:

In the firt room, there's a guy in the nudes covering his privates with a framed photo (of his wife?).

In a second chamber it's the scene from 'Three Men and a Little Baby' trying to get the baby asleep and warning George to keep still, after wich he shuts the door obviously...

Also, in the Western scene, I forgot to mention I clearly spotted Val Kilmer, blinking at George (who blinks back idiotically).

Aaaand ! Here's one of the better gigs I remember; right before or after running into a swimming Pinocchio and asking directions, George swims by the panoramic underwater scenery window of the Nautilus sub (from Disney's "20,000 Leagues under the Sea") while Capt. Nemo and Prof. Arronax (discussing the beauty of the ocean deep) look outside - George waves to them.

In the Medieval age scene with knights, there is also gunfire coming from a castle tower, followed by a scene in which Scottisch warriors (no, it's not Braveheart since their wearing red coat uniforms above their kilts) run down the hill, and medieval cavalry advancing in the next shot. Somewhere later, Kevin Kostner (taken from 'Robin Hood') fires off his arrow.

reply

[–] EsbenTheis 20 years ago

the scene with the guy...is John Cleese, and it's from the movie a fish called wanda.

Val kilmer blinking at george is, I'm pretty sure, from tombstone.

The gunfire from a castle tower is from the three musketeers.

I must say I can't recall 20,000 leagues under the sea... tghe only time I remember him waving uder the water is at Sean Connery and a scene from the hunt for red october.

reply

[–] SoundtrackScience 20 years ago

The Nautilus scene is in there for sure, since I've recorded the show for about 80 percent during the preview weekends before the grand opening of the park itself - unfortunately I suffered some 'sleeping' arm achings while recording, and therefore my camera wasn't angled horizontally all the time
:-(

Plus there were black blurs running across the screen
(probably an anti-technique used in theaters) to avoid recordings... they do spray rain in the theatre too - it almost caused damage to my camcorder.

it wasnt highlander just coz christophe lambert was in it....it mustve been vercingetorix or sumthin. im pretty sure i saw braveheart too, there was an amazing mix of films, i couldnt have spotted them all.
you're right, there is no 20 000 leagues scene, its sean connery in the hunt for red october.
im not sure if it was mentionned but im sure i saw charlton heston in the western scenes...hummmm....
I agree the gangster montage was really well done! I loved seeing tony curtis walk in that seen! twas great!
i totally loved that show at disneyland resort, its so well done and creative!
on a different note, it took me ages to figure out who the wizard was, he was great! (nightcrawler from xmen 2, great job!)

My favourite scene is the Hannibal reference. When George is opening the doors of the Titanic, he opens one and Hannibal turns around in his chair and smirks. It's a fantastic scene!!!

[–] Sweet T 17 years ago

Yes! Finally got around to see CinéMagique again, four years after the first time. Being prepared now, I managed to recognize a lot more movies, most of whom have already been mentioned by others already. Nevertheless, I still spotted a few so far unmentioned ones:

Cinema Paradiso
A Gentleman In Paris
Brief Encounter
The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari
Ran (the Japanese battle scene)
The Sound Of Music? (not sure, the running up the hill scene near the end)

And then, at the end credits, I suddenly realized all quoted movies had just rolled by, but I was too absent-minded to notice any missing title other than:

A Man And A Woman (which one I don't know)
Henry V (another battle scene, presumably)

And there still áre a few left, especially at the beginning (all the old black and white scenes) and later on, in the multi-framed kissing part. This thread has all but ended yet! Next time I'll focus on the credits... or maybe not, 'cos where's the sport in that?

Not many people have spotted the great Buster Keaton, or the Melies clip or indeed the famous shot from The Grat Train Robbery (1903) of the outlaw shooting directly at the camera.

Just got back from DLP and thought this show was great especially for a movie lover like me - loved trying to spot all the films.

I love Westerns and spotted the following:

Once Upon a Time in the West
The Magnificent Seven
Tombstone (not sure why they put this in)
A Fistful of Dollars (music)
The Great Train Robbery
The Wild Bunch

Others I spotted:
Mary Poppins
Star Wars
The Exorcist
The General (Buster Keaton - or another Keaton movie)
The Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin - not sure if it is this Chaplin movie)
Battleship Potemkin
Henry V
Safety Last (Harold Lloyd)
Ran
Some Like it Hot
Nosferatu
Le Voyage dans le Lune (Melies)
Braveheart
Gone With the Wind (Music)
Silence of the Lambs
Titanic
A Fish Called Wanda
Monsters inc
Pinocchio
The Hunt for Red October
Le Parapluies de Cherbourg
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
THe Three Musketeers
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
THe Battle of the Century (Laurel and Hardy)
The Pink Panther (not exactly sure which one)
The Wizard of Oz
The Exorcist
Three Men and a Baby
20000 Leagues Under the Sea
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Le Hussard Sur Le Toit
Joan of Arc
Highlander
Doctor Zhivago
To Catch a Thief
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

A few people have mentioned Singin in the Rain but I can't remember this reference - alos a few others have been mentioned that I cannot for sure say I spotted - please let me know of any omissions and we can try and get a definitive list.

[–] Sweet T 14 years ago

@Zebar-1 I think you're right concerning Singin' In The Rain. I'm afraid all who mentioned that movie (including me) have mistaken Les Parapluies de Cherbourg for it.

In the meantime I went to see Cinémagique for a fourth time, this time adamant on filming the credit roll, where all the used titles are listed. Halfway through filming though I accepted the failure of this enterprise (I would need a professional camera to properly do the job, not the run-of-the-mill digital cam I used), after which I just managed to spot one 'new' title before the credits ended:

Luis Buñuel's 'Cet Obscur Objet Du Désir' (aka 'That Obscure Object Of Desire')

Agreed, not much. But hey, he who cannot keep a penny shall never have many, as my mother used to say.
