First and Last

the first and last images from a motion picture.


Here's another clue. The first and last lines of dialogue

First: Sit down and start undressing.
Last:
[Various people shouting / screaming]

 

Can you guess the movie?

 If you'd like to check your answer or your just give up, the answer is after the jump.

 

Congratulations to Joel and Cristhian. This is indeed Pedro Almodovar's classic Law of Desire. It's such a great movie, one of the master's best, so get to renting it if you haven't seen it

I'm guessing based on the last shot

The Fisher King?

Law of Desire... One of the Best opening sequence ever!

March 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCristhian

I added another clue for latecomers since this one was hard for people.

My favorite guess is "rent" from Bleh because I can totally see why you'd guess that. it's fun to try and figure out why people guessed how they guessed.

Law of Desire sure sounds right. Love that movie.

Isn't the first shot of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Phillip Seymour Hoffman nailing Marissa Tomei? I distinctly remember not being able to get that out of my head for a few days...

It's Matador, right?

March 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJon

Joey -- i don't have the movie handy but i think you're right. it was a FRIGHTENING image, one that would only occur inside the movies.
