Correct! Totes one of my favourite comedy films, yo.

Ali

Not nearly obscure enough, but at least it's not the Nightmare Before Christmas:

The Empire Strike Back - Director's Cut.

All those moments... will be lost... in time, like tears... in... rain."

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens

First off, I can't make out anything in that image beyond guessing.  I don't think the goal of this activity should be to post the hardest to read, most obscure screengrabs possible.

Meh, that's what it's been for the last 50 pages, why stop now? I say if you wanna flaunt your extraordinarily obscure and eclectic film tastes, be my guest, but now and then try and throw out something at least remotely possible for us unrefined plebs.

Ali

I must say, I'm delighted to have broken the game!

I really didn't think this was an obscure one. That's one of the most memorable shots/moments from the film, for me at least.

[clues] It's a film by one of the world's great directors, and the end of a long standing collaboration with a well-known actor of the era. [/clues]

Here's what I hope is a much easier frame:





Igor Hardy

Now I get which director and actor you are talking about, but I clearly never seen this film, or even know the title.

Ilyich

If it's the end of their collaboration, then it's probably "Red Beard", but I have to admit that I haven't seen it. Kurosawa has too many great films :)

Ali

Red beard it is! The first screenshot is women screaming down a well to recover the soul of someone who is dying. It's an unforgettable scene, though admittedly incomprehensible if you haven't watched the film.

Red Beard is long but it's worth it. An incredibly powerful film, and a great performance by Toshira "I'm totally sick of Kurosawa" Mifune.

It's also significantly better than Graham Chapman's Yellowbeard. If you only watch one beard-colour-titled film this year, make it Red Beard.

Ilyich

Noted!

Ok, this one should be quite easy for all the sci-fi geeks out there :)

Ilyich

Nope, but the robot from this film and the one from "Lost in Space" were designed by the same man. :)

Ahh.. then it's the Forbidden Planet.


Here's the next one:

That looks so damn familiar, but for the life of me I can't place it.

Any hints?  That is gunna drive me nuts lol

How does it fare against Blackbeard and Gingerbeard Man then?

And there was some Italian pirate film called Barbarossa (Red Beard) as well.

I haven't seen those films, but I imagine BETTER.

@Ponch: Nope
@poc301 + all: 1st hint: the movie contains ghosts :)

LUniqueDan

Hey?! How can it can't be Iron Eagle?

Because this didn't happen in Iron Eagle :P
