What was that movie where all the old actors from old action movies get together in a single film and blow up lots of stuff? Which is the one where Brad Pitt plays death? And remember that movie where Tom Hanks's best friend is a volley ball? Wait, what was that one movie where that girl was terminally ill but she got married anyway? No, the older one with the singer who was popular back then…

Despite its subject matter, it's a flip phone movie in a smart phone world. October 13, 2019.
In can be beyond aggravating when you have the name of a movie on the tip of your tongue but just can't seem to get it out. Now, there's a site that can take the things you do remember about the movie and use them to find the name you're thinking of.
It's scary-accurate, and it's one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.

Direct tv desktop website. A site called simply 'What is my movie?' was created to showcase some next-level fuzzy search and deep search technology developed by Finnish startup Valossa, a company that was founded by computer science researchers and engineers from Finland's University of Oulu.
We've discussed it before here on the site, but a new Reddit thread reminded me of it the other night. I finally had some time to really test it out… and I was blown away.
'We aspire to create a new, descriptive way of searching video content,' the team said on its website. 'Our technology understands the contents of video files itself. Ranging from text to pattern recognition, we reach down into data that has not been searchable in the past.'
Movie Where Phone Takes Over 2019
The site continues, 'Whatismymovie.com has been developed by the tech team of Valossa that has its roots in the Computer Science and Engineering research conducted at the University of Oulu. We have an extensive research background on automatic content recognition and video data analysis. The demonstrations on this site have been developed for research purposes and Proof of Concept for the industry. Deep Content technology has also been piloted with the broadcasters for TV content.'

The group's 'Deep Content' technology analyzes video content in ways that typical search engines cannot, and it uses that data to deliver impressive matches even when the search terms provided at very vague.
I had a whole lot of fun testing out the site's tech. Here are a few examples:
Since Valossa's tech digs deep into the video content itself, you can even use quotes to find the movie you're looking for:

It's a hugely useful site that also just so happens to be an impressive showcase for Valossa's tech, and you can check it out here. Can you stump it?
| Movie or TV Show | Phones to look for |
| Some Like it Hot (1959) | Candlesticks, WE 1002 Handsets (on Osgood's yacht) |
| Description of the 'Cerebrum Communicator', a phone that was to be implanted directly into the brain so you could just think the number and be connected! (It doesn't seem as far-fetched now as it did then!) Great spoof on the power of 'TPC' (The Phone Company). The spies seemed to think TPC was more powerful than the superpower countries. This is really a 'MUST SEE!' (Last 10 minutes of movie -- be patient!) If you want some highlights and photos, click here . Wonder if the US Government antitrust staff watched this while deciding what to do with AT&T in the 70s and 80s. | |
Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) | More 10-button TouchTone sets than I've seen in one place. Desk sets (1500 and 5-line 1565), Call Directors and a rare Card Dialer (1661?). Fantasy videophone, consisting of a large flush-mounted wall monitor with a camera above and 10-button keypad below. Look fast and freeze the frame! At one point a poor 1500 was thrown through a video monitor. Bet it was refurbed and put back out in service. |
| Perry Mason TV Series (1957-66) | Full range of Western Electric gear from candlesticks to 500s, Car Phones, Switchboards in offices and rooming houses (as Paul Drake interrogates the operators), Kellogg, Dictaphone and Rauland Office Intercoms. The Rauland Amplicall was on Perry's desk during the first season. ( See photos.) Overheard: Della's work number -- HOllywood 2-1799 |
| It Takes A Thief TV Series (1968-70) | Similarto Perry Mason, phones appear as supporting actors. A green 1565 (10-button dial keyset) appeared in one episocde. |
Star Trek TV Pilot 'The Cage' (repeated in 'The Menagerie') | Thecontrols in the situation room on the Enterprise are made from a Rauland Amplicall 24-line control unit -- painted to match the console. |
| The Bells are Ringing (1960) | Switchboard at the answering service |
| The Thin Man (1934) After the Thin Man (1936) Another Thin Man (1939) | But the phones were new then! |
| Wrong is Right (1982) | Teleconcepts 'Chromephone' sets (dial set in a chrome sphere) at each situation room station. Good cast, including Sean Connery, Robert Conrad, Katharine Ross, Leslie Nielsen and Dean Stockwell, but a tacky cold war plot. |
AE Type 2 sets in cubicles used as 'lobby phones' (rarely seen!) Federal cradle phones (grab-a-phone style) used in guest rooms Great shots of the multi-position hotel switchboard (over 8 positions) | |
| The Front Page (1931) | Lots of 'working' candlesticks. It's interesting to see how they held and manipulated them. One reporter applies antiseptic to his glass mouthpiece! |
| His Girl Friday (1940) | Theremake of The Front Page also has lots of good old phones. |
| I've Got Your Number (1934) | Misadventuresof two telephone repair men. One romances a switchboard operator. |
| You Can't Take It With You (1938) | WatchJean Arthur answer a D1 with E1 handset with no hands! |
Strange 'hot line' phone with a really obnoxious ring. (Probably now available for cell phones!) Click phone to hear it ring. | |
| TheSlender Thread (1965) | Dramaticscenes while tracing a phone call through an electromechanical switch. |
| Bugsy (1991) | Ivory manual WE302 in the restaurant |
| Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) | Loads of phones -- dial candlesticks, colored Monophones (desk and wall), spacesavers, pay phones, etc.. |
| The 4D Man (1959) | WesternElectric 320 or 520 hazardous environment set on the wall in the furnace room, 211s mounted on laboratory benches, guards with a portable Motorola 'Handie Talkie' FM Radiophone. |
| ThreeDays of the Condor (1975) | Suspense. Includes shots of a Crossbar trunk. |
| An Eye for An Eye (1981) | ChuckNorris and a Western Electric Celebrity (French-style Design Line set). |
| Cherry 2000 (1987) | Lester'sphone is a Telequest Flexx -- modified with an dummy antenna for 'wireless' use. |
| Convicted (1950) | There's a Rauland Amplicall on the Warden's desk. |

Movie Where Phone Takes Over
'Female' -- 1933, MGM/UAThe phone is a tall art deco interpretation of a 'French phone.' The black rectangular base has 5 or 6 narrow horizontal light bands. There are similar bands on the transmitter and receiver covers. In one scene, a similar handset appears on a taller, angular base.The cradle doesn't appear to move when going off hook, so for many years I suspected it's a prop. An alert site visitor, John W., informed me that the set.. |
