Babar got it! It's Great Expectations (the 1946 version). Your turn, Babar!

And here's the final pic, where some light was shed on the situation, Estella!

Yay!
Here is yours to guess now:

Ray?
Shaft?
Ali?

(Hmmmm... movies with black main characters sure do have single-name titles a lot...)

dayowlron · Fri 14/04/2017 03:05:09

Really?

Guess whos coming to dinner?
The Color Purple?
Boyz in the Hood?
Coming to America?

Babar · Fri 14/04/2017 09:21:14

None of these are correct.
And not ALL the main characters are black

Do The Right Thing?

Babar · Fri 14/04/2017 18:46:19

It is not any of these.

The movie is not as old as it looks.

Snarky · Fri 14/04/2017 18:53:52

Is it City of God? It looks similar to the shots from the last time we had it in this thread.

Babar · Fri 14/04/2017 19:05:11

UGH! Didn't see the last time it was posted, or I'd have chosen a different scene. You're right, of course.

Reminds me of a typical Wes Anderson shot but I don't recognize it. Maybe "Bottlerocket"?

Mandle · Sat 15/04/2017 08:17:40

7 Chinese Brothers?

Snarky · Sat 15/04/2017 12:54:59

No x2

Mandle · Sat 15/04/2017 15:46:31

Okay, so from some hints in the picture I managed to track the movie down... But I don't feel good about solving it...

Snarky · Sat 15/04/2017 16:00:08

Well, then I'll post another screencap, and maybe someone else will identify it before you overcome your scruples

(Of course, if you're pretty sure you'd have gotten it from this one, feel free to claim it.)

Yeah, that one would have done it.... I have seen this movie by coincidence as my wife rented it and I ended up watching it and she didn't...

It's Paddington. (basically Stuart Little with a bear, or a more family-friendly Ted...But the visuals were amazing!)

Snarky · Sat 15/04/2017 16:41:35

Yes!

Most people probably only know the movie (if at all) from the off-putting promotional shot that turned into a "murderbear" meme, but the film is sweet and surprisingly hilarious. From the enthusiastically old-timey voice over about "Darkest Peru!" that opens the movie, to Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman as the slapstick villains, I pretty much had a grin on my face the whole way through. The first shot has one of my favorite gags, as the girl listens to a Chinese language lesson with the phrase "I have been accused of insider trading and require legal representation."

Mandle · Sat 15/04/2017 17:58:01

Yeah, I enjoyed the movie much more than I thought I would. I really only watched it because I thought it was a waste of money having rented it and my wife decided she didn't really want to see it after all...

Anyway: Next screenie:

Is that Jaws' girlfriend from Moonraker?

Danvzare · Sun 16/04/2017 01:02:32

Suicide Squad?
