The Grand Humiliation Of Bromden The Wise?  

[Dyepez]

Hahah... no... c'mon it's easy... this movie is a modern classic.

The only film I can think of that has a character named Bromden in it is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but I've never actually seen it, so I wouldn't know whether it's really the film you're looking for. Is it?

[Dyepez]

Hahahah!!! yes... indeed...

Damn it, you beat me.
I read that over the summer for summer reading, its a really good book.

OK, here's the next one, then.

While attending the funeral of a former friend, a politician tries to confront his past, but he is told not to bother.

No, sorry.

Hint #1: the film features the rather sad and unconvincing attempt of an otherwise excellent actor to pass for someone less than half his actual age.

Ugh. I'll try and think of something by this afternoon...

Hint #2: The main character spends most of the film working as a waiter, even though that isn't his real job.

Being There?

Four Weddings & A Funeral?


And it's still your turn in Hangman.  

[A. J. Raffles]

@a1s: no, sorry.

I don't think I remember a politician and/or a waiter in there... Anyway, no, that's not it either.

Hint #3: It's one of the most famous films of its genre.
Hint #4: Among the cast were four Oscar-winners, but none of them won an Oscar for this film.
Hint #5: There are an awful lot of male characters in this film but only two women (plus a few female extras who only speak two sentences or less).

And if you need another hint about the storyline:
Hint #6: In one scene of the film, one of the main characters sets fire to his house and gets seriously drunk when he realises he has lost his almost-fiancée. It's his own fault, though, because he's so busy acting tough and saving other people's lives that he can never be bothered to actually propose to her.
