What colors do you associate with movies in general?

[Jill Sandwich 11,166]

So that other thread gave me an idea about colour association with certain movies. It's true, whenever a certain movie is brought up, I get a mental colour reaction. This doesn't happen with every movie, but some have very bold colour associations with what was chosen for the marketing campaigns, or the overall palette of the film that sticks with you forever.

So just a few from me...

Patton - red, white and blue.

North by Northwest - light blue.

Ghostbusters - blue.

Ghostbusters II - green, but sometimes pink.

Chamber of Secrets - green.

Prisoner of Azkaban - purple, but sometimes black and white.

Thunderball - grey

You Only Live Twice - orange.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - black.

Diamonds Are Forever - blue.

Tomorrow Never Dies - red.

Die Another Day - blue.

Independence Day - red.

Batman - gold.

Batman Returns - white.

Batman Forever - green.

Batman & Robin - pink.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla '93 - grey.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla - green.

Godzilla vs. Destroyah - red.

Alien - puke green.

Hmmmm, is this some kind of New Age thing?

Anyway, I don't associate movies with any color. Maybe the posters, but not the movies.

[Quintus 6,495]

Blue: Blue.

[Sandor 918]

James Cameron movies (T2, Abyss, Avatar): definately blue as well.

[ChuckM 1]

The Happening - Green

[Quintus 6,495]

I associate it with brown.

Now we do need to know what kind of smell do you associate it with.

Blue: Blue.

Which "Blue": The Derek Jarman film, or the film with Terrance Stamp?

I associate it with brown.

Well said!!!

"Star Trek II": red,

"Star Trek III: blue.

[Quintus 6,495]

The Jarman Blue, since I could only ever associate the Terrence Stamp one with yellow - being the colour of The Krypton Sun.

Obviously.

[Naïve Old Fart 13,021]

Been there, have you?

[Quintus 6,495]

I saw it on tv this one time

[Wojo 2,458]

Now we do need to know what kind of smell do you associate it with.

One time, the guys on the radio posed the question that, if the technology existed to do so beyond mere scratch and sniff, or fragrances pumped into the theater, what movie they most wanted to smell.

And they answered The Godfather because of all of the food presented throughout the movie. I might have to agree.

[Quintus 6,495]

Oh I'm far shallower than that. I'd probably pick some girl on girl orgy flick.

[Wojo 2,458]

Why not just go for Jaws then? You've got the opening scene, the glass of wine, the shark autopsy, the bucket of chum...

[Quintus 6,495]

Nowhere near fishy enough.

[BurgaFlippinMan 7]

Doesn't happen to me, unless the cinematography has a very strong color signature...like:

The Godfather - orange-y earth tones

The Matrix - green

thats....about it...

Oh I'm far shallower than that. I'd probably pick some girl on girl orgy flick.

Lesbian Spank Inferno perhaps?

[King Mark 3,975]

Last few Harry Potter movies : washed out shades of green

[Jay 46,242]

Lesbian Spank Inferno perhaps?

I miss Coupling

[Naïve Old Fart 13,021]

Lesbian Spank Inferno perhaps?

I miss Coupling

I've never had the chance.

[Wojo 2,458]

Young Frankenstein - gray

Arsenic and Old Lace - gray
