lookingglass she/her Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 In the ultimate act of aggressive negotiations, a poet helps twelve people murder other people who made dubious lifestyle choices. Inglourious Basterds?
Kasimir he/him Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Sorry, nope. Edit: But as I'm a Star Wars fan, here, have my upvote anyway, Snoopy. Edited February 22, 2015 by Kasimir 1
Left he/him Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I really want to say 12 Angry Men but I'm pretty sure that's not it. Love the film though Hmmmm. In kind of a meta way, Hunger Games?.... can we have some hint towards the medium. Edited February 22, 2015 by LeftVash
Kasimir he/him Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I thought I was only supposed to give those after a couple of hours, actually. But here goes. Hint #1: It's a book that was adapted into a movie. My question is, however, based around the movie adaptation.
Lindel he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I would make a guess, but I can't really see anything fitting the description better than The Hobbit.
Kasimir he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sadly, it isn't. Hint #2: Think Beowulf.
lookingglass she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sadly, it isn't. Hint #2: Think Beowulf. The Illiad? So the movie Troy?
Kasimir he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Nope, sorry. Out of curiosity, just how do you get to the Illiad from Beowulf? Edited February 23, 2015 by Kasimir
lookingglass she/her Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Nope, sorry. Out of curiosity, just how do you get to the Illiad from Beowulf? I'm no good at this game I'm not really familiar with Beowolf but I figured that maybe it's an old literally piece that you were talking about. Plus Illiad fits. Someone had predicted Paris would be the downfall of Troy rather poetically and by stealing Helen all the tribes of Greece join together to rape and pillage the Trojans. Sorry went on a tangent there Edited February 23, 2015 by lookingglass 2

Newan he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 My thought process went: Beowulf->old english literature->middle english literature->Canterbury Tales, but in the extremely loose movie adaptation (A Knight's Tale), I don't think Geoffrey helped twelve people to kill.
Kasimir he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately, no. Hint #3: ...I kinda regret this because I'm told it's a rather obscure movie...(even if it's good for a bit of mindless fun.) So. Cannibals. Edited February 23, 2015 by Kasimir
Newan he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior ? This is not Without Looking It Up, and I refuse to feel guilty about googling "beowulf cannibals 12 movie". 4
Newan he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Yes! In this children's movie, a religiously devout man tries to keep his home sacred, but is opposed by a soldier, an indie musician, an outgoing recluse, and three imaginary demon hunters.
Cheese United he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame? Cause... Y'know.. Disney... 1
Mckeedee123 he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Hrrm... A Monarch, a knight and his student, and a racer shut down the operations of a hostile corporate entity. Edited February 24, 2015 by Mckeedee123 1
Kasimir he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hrrm... A Monarch, a knight and his student, and a racer shut down the operations of a hostile corporate entity. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace? 2
Kasimir he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) The funny thing was, I was going to suggest Star Wars: A New Hope then I realised, wait, TPM is a much better fit. (I'd thought of Han Solo as the racer at first because of the Kessel Run.) Hmm. Man gets kidnapped by terrorists and then reluctantly recruited by them as they show him how things really are.

Technically either movie fits the description, as the two were made to be parallels. Also, to try and answer your question, one movie that fits your description is Wanted, that one movie with Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and the curvy bullets. Could also work for Matrix, I would think.
