A quiz for movie fans. Post a synopsis, pic, gif of a flick and guess its name. Rules are simple. Person who guesses correctly posts next. If no one wants to post type Open Floor. In addition if you are certain of the answer post rather than wait for confirmation to keep the thread flowing. Enjoy.

As this is an Aussie forum first cab off the rank is this:

Would that be 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' from the 80s'?

Hah, think it's Guess who's coming to dinner?

Yes correct Leonie.  imho PT&A is among my top American comedy. Please post the next one as you have the floor.

Ok, here goes.    Hint ... This one isn't a comedy.

 

Another hint ... he doesn't always look this friendly.   This movie was originally a book by a famous  thriller/horror author.

Cujo, 1983 ... American horror film directed by Lewis Teague based on Stephen King's 1981 novel of the same name.

The Water Diviner, 2014 ... drama film directed by and starring Russell Crowe.

-------------------------

In which film did this hotel feature?

You got it RnR, it was indeed Cujo. 

:) Thanks Leonie.

 

Australia RnR? Water Diviner was correct.

Yes Richie ... Australia, 2008.

The McLean Family owned the Grand View Hotel from 1919-2018. The Grand View has been destroyed twice by fire and twice by cyclone. It featured as The Territory Hotel in Baz Luhrmann's film 'AUSTRALIA' starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, being filmed there on location in Bowen, Queensland as a stand-in location for Darwin, during 2007.

The Grand View as The Territory Hotel in the film.

Fourth generation owners John, Lachlan and Michael McLean since renovated the hotel. In late 2018 Waymark Hotels, a privately-owned Australian hotel and property group, acquired the Grand View Hotel from the McCleans.

As it looks now.

Had a few beers there a few years back. Very pleasant out on the verandah.
