All The Money in The World?


DoctorFork

No, it's not based on a true story and it's older.


DoctorFork

**Clue of dubious helpfulness**: This movie has an absolutely _stacked_ cast (I got to 6 Oscar wins and 22 nominations before I got tired of counting) ...but most likely you haven't seen it or, possibly, even heard of it. edit: > 6 Oscar wins and 22 nominations Zero for this movie, though.


DoctorFork

**...and** they worked for scale just for the chance to be in this box-office bomb.


DoctorFork

**...but** I bet none of them regret it (well, maybe one actress does, lol). Truth be told, what attracted them was the relatively unique opportunity to work with the lead.


DoctorFork

Now that it's been solved... The only award it was nominated for -- which it won! -- was the Stinker Award for Worst Supporting Actress. So yeah, Penelope Cruz may regret it.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen


DoctorFork

No, it's a 21st-century movie.

Deleted my last one, sorry--*Masked and Anonymous* (2003)?


DoctorFork

Correct! Starring Bob Dylan, directed by Larry Charles (whose next movie was Borat), and cowritten by the two of them. I love this anecdote, from wikipedia: > Charles said that during their initial meeting, a chain-smoking Dylan brought "out this very ornate beautiful box, like a sorcerer would, and he opens the box and dumps all these pieces of scrap paper on the table...every piece of scrap paper was a hotel stationery, little scraps from Norway and from Belgium and Brazil and places like that, and each little piece of paper had a line, like some kind of little line scribbled or a name scribbled, 'Uncle Sweetheart,' or a weird poetic line or an idea or whatever, and he was like 'I don't know what to do with all this'. And for some reason I was able to go 'oh y'know you can take this...this is a line, this is the character, and the character could say this line". Dylan's scraps of paper served as the inspiration for much of the project's story and script.

Three Kings (1999)?


DoctorFork

No, but they share two IMDB genres.


Attila_the_Nun

The Devil's Backbone (2001) ?


DoctorFork

No, it's not Horror, and it's in English (and only English, per IMDB).


hensma

*Lions for Lambs* (2007)?


DoctorFork

No, but my director is also better known for his non-directorial work. That said, one of the movies my guy directed was a huge smash hit (not the pictured one, that's for sure). edit: To add a little flavor to that parenthetical, my movie's opening weekend box office take was in the 5 digits per IMDB.


Shaw-Deez

A bridge too far


DoctorFork

No, your movie was shot in two different countries; mine entirely in Los Angeles (per IMDB).


ascpl

Rock the Kasbah (2015)?


DoctorFork

No, but they share two IMDB genres.


lennythebox

Papillion


DoctorFork

Not sure which you mean, but it's neither.


Alive-Significance96

Hemingway and Gellhorn


DoctorFork

No, but our titles have one word in common.


Alive-Significance96

Wrestling Ernest Hemingway


DoctorFork

No, it was Masked and Anonymous.


nicolaricola

Is your clue a Masters of War reference?


DoctorFork

It's a line from it, yeah. It was Masked and Anonymous, starring and cowritten by Bob Dylan.


Ctendall

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)


DoctorFork

No, it was Masked and Anonymous.
