Movies: Your Favourite Movie without a death or a gun in it

[kihei]

Oh, and here's another one:

Way off on this one. Remember what happens to the two central characters?

I guess not. So I'll say, Oops, based on my trusting your memory. I'm a big Lena Olin fan, so primarily I remember her.


Without going to find the movie to watch again, I did just go and checked the story summary on Wiki, and the final line reminded me about how it ended.

 

[Legionnaire]

I can't remember if there's a death in Godspell, but back in the day I really liked that movie, regardless of the fact that I'm an atheist.

Yes, that's a good one too.

Oh, and here's another one:

Edit: No, I've been corrected, there is death.



If we're just talking non-violence and no death, I'd definitely add this one:
Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke

But I'm pretty sure there are some guns in that one, though I don't think there's any shooting.

Added Note: There are probably lots of porn films we could add to this thread, haha.

Just double checked because I was going to put Up in Smoke. You can see the cops guns when they get pulled over in the "Isn't it on the bumper" scene.

And yeah, I thought so there too...Shoot the moon! Stacey Keech has a gun when they do the raid.

...Just finished and there are a lot of guns in UiS. At least 10. Pretty much every cop and even the la migra agent.

This is a great thread! It's really has had me thinking. Great job Kihei!


Annie Hall?
As Good as it Gets?

I said that I was quite sure there were guns, but I'm not sure if there is any shooting. I mentioned "Up In Smoke" with the idea of there not being any violence or death.

Sorry. Just read the bold.

 

[Legionnaire]

But thanks for making me watch again for the millionth time. It's been sitting there in my queue. I almost can do the script line for line. hehe

Just re-watched Notorious and the sole death is one that is only mentioned. That individual is seen from behind for a few seconds at the beginning of the film (face never seen).

Curious if some Alfred Hitchcock films fall within the thread title. In The Trouble with Harry the death had already occurred (although the person does become a central character).

Don't remember guns in his films. How did he never win an Academy Award?

 

[Osprey]

The apparent difficulty in thinking of good movies without deaths or guns can mean only one thing: deaths and guns simply make movies better. Congratulations to kihei for proving his point.

You say on that line for two whole months? Now that it's hatched maybe you should have sat on it longer.

Planes, trains, and automobiles?

Busted. Yeah, I thought that up at least a month ago, but really didn't want to bump the thread just to post that, so I sat on it, hoping that someone would bump it for me. Thanks, Chili.

Peter Parker dies

So does The Prawler.

 

[NyQuil]

Romantic comedies tend to be easy pickings:

-When Harry Met Sally
-You've Got Mail
-10 Things I Hate About You
-How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
-She's All That
-etc.

-Sleepless in Seattle involves a widower, and while it happens before the film starts, it's a major plot point so I'm inclined to say no.

Also sports films.:

-Moneyball
-Hoosiers
-Rudy
-etc.

 

[NyQuil]

Planes, trains, and automobiles?

Yeah, I can't think of a gun or a death in that film, unless you apply the widower rule.

 

[NyQuil]

As Good as it Gets?

Also Something's Gotta Give

I bet a good portion of romantic comedies/dramedies fit.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Does The Sandlot count?

Hercules dies at the end

Hoosiers - Shooter (Dennis Hopper) comes out of his house with a shotgun and shoots it. Identify!

I think these fit.

The Breakfast Club
Caddyshack
Chariots of Fire
Mary Poppins

Bill Murray has a gun for hunting the gopher.
