"Guess the movie title by the screenshot".
The first one who post the right title should post
a screenshot of another movie by choice.

This is a great movie. :=
Land of the Lost?
Yes sir.
I absolutely loved that movie. It's my fav Will Ferrell movie. Most of his movies, his acting is quite immature. This wasn't as bad, it's actually quite funny.
Enjoyed that movie too. Twice.
Another pretty cool one:

Dual, the pic doesn't show, but from the link I'd say Casablanca?
Yours didn't show up in the forums, even after several refreshes. I had to copy the url to actually view it.
Also your picture title says exactly what movie it was from. I know what movie this is, but since I saw it in the photo file name, I feel like I am cheating.
I cheated, so I can't answer... Ryan, go ahead. Post a new one if you like
I forgot to mask the link :( :( THAT WAS SO FAIL. :(
Christ, Duals, you would've busted the thread wide open with the size of the image! No wonder it won't show up! At least save it, resize and reupload first :P

Fine, I'll post another since Dual's failed miserably. :P

UK TV seemed to get a different version (either a re-recording, or an alternate voice). Freaked me out when I first heard it.

QuoteNOTHING LESS THAN BADASS PONCH TO FIND AN OBSCURE MOVIE!
Find an obscure move? Baby, I OWN that obscure movie. I have an old bootleg VHS tape and I'm watching it as we speak. I had forgotten how much I enjoy this old, strange movie. The actors all speak in their own native languages, and everyone seems to understand each other with no problems whatsoever. It's crazy! :D Plus, in the distant future, the robots run on whiskey, guys named Brooklyn don't know anything about baseball, robots can learn to love, people name their children 7 and 11, and the rarest element in the world is Texmexium. (I think it's what gives Taco Bell it's unique taste!) 8)
Anyhoo, since it's my turn now, here's a pair of screen shots from one of my favorite movies of all time.

Our hero has to face off against the Pimp Army and he also provides the soundtrack for his own love scene. It's AWESOME! Can you dig it?
Yep, Gunhed is awesome. :D
Hmm. Since that looks like Isaac Hayes, I'm going to hazard a guess...and say...Truck Turner?
Crap. You got it in one. I should have tried harder. :P
All right, then. Your turn, limp.

That's the trick, isn't it? If the thread is too easy, then people will lose interest. If it's too hard, then people will give up. It's a tight rope, Dual! Over a pit of lava! Filled with broken glass and rusty nails!
Just think! Limpingfish is under tremendous pressure right now. All eyes are upon that bald hamster. (Whew! I'm sure glad I'm not him! := )
Until CrippleFish has upped another one, try this one:

That looks nasty, so I'm gonna pluck the nastiest film I can think of out of the air (one that I haven't even seen!) and wildly guess...
A Serbian Film?
Anyhow, here's mine...obscure to all but those who..it...um...isn't.

I know it's an actual game, I started it.
I wasn't try any form of "Who is the obscurist", that movie isn't actually that obscure anyway although the screeny might look like so ;)
Anyway, Limpingfish is back so: let the game continue.

One hint is allowed if none can guess. Which I doubt.
Brazil?
EDIT: Though I must admit, I don't remember a line of gunmen. However, all the dream sequences were lit like that so I'm sticking with my guess.
Dang, beaten by Ali...
Yep, Brazil, this scene happens near the end, Arj0n. When the firing and shooting occurs.
You can guess "Brazil" just because Dualnames is always drooling over the movie. :=

neither, "The Others" are the olny think that pop in my mind.
Ernest Saves Christmas?
Pee Wee Herman in : Peewee Does the Orphanage.
The lighting looks a bit like Blood Simple, but the everything else doesn't...
Let's Scare Jessica to Death?
Chuck the plant the silent witness?
Boo. Nobody knows. Sadness.
Some people are kind of on the right track...
It was hard to find a still that didn't give the whole game away. If you recognize the girl on the floor, the answer wouldn't be hard to find. Plus, any of the more "iconic" (well, to me anyway) scenes would also make it a bit too easy.
Having said that, let's try an alternate still...or since they are so small, let's try two. :)

Well... one thing is certain, it's definitely a film from the 70s (or the 80s if its from Eastern Europe).
It is a film from the 80s, I'll give you that.
Some kind of Halloween, Hellraiser or Dario Argento film?
Phenomena perhaps?
EDIT:
Yep, it's Phenomena definitely. You don't need to confirm it, LimpingFish. I won!
I WON!!! Where's my prize!?
OK then. I hope this one won't be too easy. I deliberately picked a scene which can lead you to the title even if you haven't seen this particular film.

Dual, I won't comment your guesses, because we had too many conversations about movies we like.
But I will tell you, if you guss the title.

You are correct.
On to more pressing matters! It does look like a Zatoichi, alright, but which one?
After all, there are over twenty to choose from! :o
It's couldn't be the first one, since that was in black and white. I'm going to guess...Zatoichi Meets the One Armed Swordsman!
Sorry for my impatiance, LimpingFish. You weren't around for a while, and in the meantime I found that bit with the scissors in the Phenomena trailer.
Yes, one of the characters in the photo is the legendary Zatoichi. I think there were 25 Zatoichi movies with Katsu in the main role.
This movie is neither ZATOICHI THE BLIND SAMURAI nor Zatoichi Meets the One Armed Swordsman.
Here's the proof the other guy has both arms (but doesn't he remind you of someone?):
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5766/draculavstintin2.png)
it reminds me of a Seventh Samurai..or something, i can't place it, and looking it up is cheating, so i forfeit on this one.
The Men Who Stares at Samurais
SwordSmoke
The Good, the Bad and the Samurai
If you had given me a scene from the "Babycart" series, I would've been all over that mofo! \o/

Is it Zatoichi meets Yojimbo? :-\
Yep, the samurai is Yojimbo (aka Toshiro Mifune)!
Looks like you pick the next film. Again. No rest for the wicked-cinemaphiles or something.

QuoteIf you had given me a scene from the "Babycart" series, I would've been all over that mofo! \o/
I think I've only seen the first 3 Lone Wolf and a Cub films myself. Compared to Zatoichi they were usually a bit more... extreme, but still great of course.

This is true. More fanciful showers of arterial fluid, and some dodgy misogyny, to be sure. Deadly hidden blades deployed by a tiny finger is surely the cutest way to dispatch your enemies, though.

Amateurs! That's clearly the late 1970s art house classic The Man Whose Eyes Exploded Yet He Remained Somehow Rather Indifferent To The Whole Affair. It was a critical darling but tragically audiences stayed away. The director eventually changed his name to James Spanos and moved to Greece to direct lesbian pornos.

Why that's a total obscurity with no recognizable names apart for the original novel's author. What is so special about that cat scene that made you choose it?

If I am not mistaken the film that Arj0n showed is actualy the 1945 version which was called 'And Then There Were None'.
And Then There Were None is a 1945 film adaption of Agatha Christie's best-selling mystery novel And Then There Were None directed by René Clair.

Yes, that's the movie...
It is a total obscurity indeed, but there have been posted more obscure titles since this 'game' started. And the novel's author was one of the hint's I gave.
The cat scene: there's not much special about it. But If I should have shown the '10 little indians' as screeny, the title should have been a giveaway... So I choose a screeny I just simply like. It didn't give away anything unless you have
seen the movie ;)
Now cheer up Ascovel ;D
@Jay:
Sorry but no, that's the 1945 version, I posted a screenshot from the 1965 version.
I thought the 1954 version would be way to obscure. And it would have turn Ascovel really mad :P

I think I may know.
However. If I am correct it will take me a while to post another still of a film, cos I've never done it before.
Is it ''And Then There Were None''.
We got ourselves a winner :D
You mean this film?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061075/
It should be the same, but this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Little_Indians_(1965_film)) version might fit a bit better.
Edit:
Ooops - sorry, too late!

hehheh.
By the way, you probably already know but the movie is know as "agatha christie's and then there were none"AND as "agatha christie's ten little indians".
Next time I'll choose something less obscure, I promise, really...
Also I just found this.
And Then There Were None is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie,
first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939
under the title 'Ten Little Niggers'. :o
Anyway. Now that we have, kind of, resolved that.
Does anyone know what film my shot is from?

I wouldn't go that far. Unrecognizable names to some people are recognizable names to others (Fabian! (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fabian_%28entertainer%29)). That particular version was also filmed within spitting distance of where I was born.
@ RetroJay,
Spoiler
You gave away the name of the movie in your URL you posted.
Domino
edit: Problem fixed.
Shit. Shit. and Shit again.
Domino.
Thanks for the heads up on that.
I have changed it. Not that it realy matters now. :'(
Jay.
Well, I didn't check the url (pinky swear), and my guess is...
The Gate? The kid holding the hammer should be a very young Stephen Dorff. I used to have a copy of that movie on VHS.
LimpingFish.
I believe you.
I can't fathom how on earth I made such an error. ::)
But you are the winner. The Gate it was.
I love that movie and have it on DVD.
Your turn.
The Gate was a good 80's flick. Even though I barely remember most of it. :)
Try this one...

Sorry about the quality. I think it's from a TV rip.
Could it be an out of focus head of Jean Luc I see in the background?
Nope. Just a random bald person. :)
A handful of TV sci-fi regulars do appear in this movie, though.
Is that an obscure screenshot from Arena, which had Armin Shimmerman and a dude that looked just like a blonde Christopher Reeve?
Yeah, I'm sure that's what this is from. I rarely make mistakes when it comes to hot cheese served with a cold glass of smirk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHKnU-YkOE4
Plus, you've got all those Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine rejects all over this film. You sort of gave it all away, really. Shame on you.
P.S. That's the movie end boss featured in that photo. Horn I believe he was called. It was actually quite entertaining for being a z-grade obscure film.

Wow, how come I never heard of this movie (or completely ignored it)!? The trailer must make it look much better than it really is.
Yep, that's what it is! \o/
I did give it away, a bit. It's a movie I saw back when it was first released on VHS, and one I promptly forgot about for the following two decades. The blond lead dude, Paul Satterfield, was also in "The Raft" segment of Creepshow 2, apparently.
Hopefully as a plank, seeing how wooden he is.
I would like to challenge you to b-movie trivia sometime, Fish.
Meanwhile, in a movie far far away, someone has itchy fingers...
(http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr218/ProgZmax/ugotthetouch.jpg)
This is a strategic photo that either is a dead giveaway or will result in total confusion. The choice is yours.
Suspiria?
Blow-up?
Blade Runner?
The butterfly with-the-itchy-fingers-stain-effect?
something with a time machine involved.
My Science Project ?
In total confusion I stand.
Yor: Hunter from the future?
Yor? He was too busy cutting people in half and striding around half-naked to his massive 80's theme song to touch things without a weapon in hand.
My Science Project? Blade Runner? I don't remember Harlan or Decker poking designs with green blobs on them!
Dost thou require another screeneth, superfriends?
Last Call:
Enemy Mine? Nope, surely not.
Shoot another one, Progzy.

Okay.

Is this hand the same hand as the hand above, or a completely different hand? Hint: Yes.
District 9?
Looks like some Cronenberg to me.
Creepshow? Turkish Starwars? Xanadu? I got nothin' here! >:(
I have no stinking clue at all.
Looks like someone stuck their hand in a deep fryer or something. ???
The Fly?
Some kind of The Blob movie?

I need to watch more 80s movies... :-[
:'(
I really need a hint I think....
To be honest, if no one can get it by now then no amount of 'hints' will help. The last two photos give away the entire 'reveal' of the film, so if you don't recognize them, you've never seen the film. This is why hints won't help.
Let's see if LimpingFish or someone else can pull out a win today, otherwise I'll post the imdb link to the movie and you can all enjoy it...if you can find a bootleg vhs copy like I did, that is :).
With that last screenshot, I was immediately reminded of XTRO. But that couldn't be right.
The Return? Without Warning?
The Blue Man Group meets Dr. Longnails?
Could it be The Tommy Knockers?
Hand Job: The Movie
Negative. It looks like none of you have seen the movie, which isn't extremely surprising. There are loads of films like this that have fallen through the cracks, so don't feel bad. I don't want to hold up the thread too much so I'll do one more screen and then that's it.
(http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr218/ProgZmax/librarymummy.jpg)
Iron Man Goes To The Library? (seriously, that looks like one of those old Electric Company shorts with Spider Man). I'm waiting for you to post a screenshot with Easy Reader. :=
we should change the topic to "GUESS THE MOST OBSCURE FILM OF ALL TIME, THAT ONLY PROGZMAX FOUND IN VHS, AFTER SELLING HIS KIDNEY TO THE BLACK MARKET, AND HIS SOUL TO SATAN"
I'm hoping the reveal here will be that this is all from an FMV game you've been working on since the early nineties...
Ghostbusters?
Mad MaX ?
Blade Runner ?
The Lion King ?
The Artefact screenie told me something... but... ?
BAH!: The Movie
The Mummy (1932 film)
or
The Mummy (1959 film)
I've cheated and used Google so I know what movie it is but well it's cheating so it doesn't count I guess. :P
So at the time I let you walk in circles some more, I can tell for sure I have never heard of the movie. :P
It's not Time Walker, is it? I've never seen it, but I know of it in passing. The fact that people are referring to the creature as a mummy kind of fits with the plot.
Quote from: Wyz+ on Sun 14/08/2011 12:34:25

Ha ;)
All this suspense has already made this film my favorite film of all time, even though I haven't seen it.
It is indeed Time Walker, though I'm sure you know more of it in googling that in passing. :)
I knew the last photo was a total give away anyway, someone only need to google sci-fi + mummy + alien/crystals or something like that to get it. It's a pretty unique film that way.
You may CONTINUE!
I'll just hijack the next one since noone really guessed it. :P

Nope, neither of them.

I thought the deer hunter at first. But..lololololo.
This is SHANE. AHAHAHAH

...
It was IMDB that gave me the answer.
I did actually hear the title before, though. But I always associated it with the Fred Ward time-traveling biker western. Which is actually called Time Rider. A title I actually associated with George Romero's time-traveling knights-on-bikes movie, Knightriders.
Double the wrongness! \o/

None of the above. It's a trippy scene from a movie not as crazy as those.

It is very old. But also very well known.

No, but it's not much newer than Metropolis.
Black Sunday? Pretty sure I'm wrong...

No, it's not City Lights either.
L'Atlantide?
HINT 1: This film was heavily discussed by the characters of one of 2009's major blockbusters.
Sherlock Holms?
Nops.
is it "M"? Just a wild guess here.
something with Bela Lugosi? Dracula maybe?
The wolfman?
HINT No 2: The actress in the photo is also the film's director.
And no more hints, because it can't get any easier.
So I guess it's "The Blue Light"?
Yes! By the famous Nazi director Leni Riefenstahl.

No, and there's no "Sherlock Holmes" within the movie's title.
That's clearly George C. Scott but I can't figure out what movie it's from.
Yes, that's him. I thought it won't be 100% apparent at this angle.
Traps?
I don't even know what Traps is.
Damn, I thought this film is pretty well known.
They Might Be Giants.

Yes. The only Sherlock Holmes story with a female Dr Watson. Though it's highly disputable if it's a Sherlock Holmes story.
I hope you really watched it, Dual.

That's definitely Indiana Jones entering an alien space ship on the first screen!
The film's title is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!
Nope. But not far.

And come on, Ascovel, given the look of that movie, it had to be in the 80s. And that means either Sean Connery or Roger Moore (unless you want to count George Lazenby -- and no one does, obviously). :=
Yeah, but, as have I, I think he understood it to be a spy movie, not that it had a James Bond actor in it.
Yeah, I was convinced Ponch meant it's an around-the-world pulp action film like Bond films are.
Still, if I was told it's a Sean Connery film, the first thing coming to my mind would be Zardoz.
Come on, guys. Let's not get sidetracked on the crappy quality of my clue. The important thing is that one of you posts a movie screenshot before Dualnames does. Surely the one thing we can all agree on is that we can't let him have a turn! :=
Here:

Hey, is anyone trying to guess that one that I've put up (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=44093.msg590500#msg590500) or have you all given up, because you know you'll only embarrass yourselves with your completely off the mark guesses?
Anyway, here's another clew:
(http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8310/bridgeb.png)
Street Trash
I haven't seen the film but one of your caps had a street and the other one has what appears to be some trash.
Warm? Tepid?
It's not Street Trash, but it's a real shame no one posted screen caps from Street Trash yet. Amazing possibilities.
I'd say tepid. Or even cold.
HINT: One of the screens shows someone's reaction to the first appearance of the main villain of the film, the other does the same for its main protagonist.
Oops, sorry, Igor.

Oh noes! Everyone's going at once! Why, oh why did we ever steal Dualnames' rightful turn and unleash this free-for-all, no waiting in lines anarchy?! :-[

It also appears, as old school detailed anime, which is my favorite, so DAN, hurry the fuck up!
I'm pretty sure gameboy is right, and it's Jean Giraud's (aka Moebius - an amazing comics artist) and Rene Laloux's (of Fantastic Planet fame) Les Maîtres du temps.
We've got a Winner !
Gratz' Gameboy I'm still surprise someone know it, But I heard that Eastern Europe have fans of this movie (I believe - but I may be wrong - that It was available In Soviet Union before the Wall felt down).
(Also Gratz' Ilytch - Next time be faster, will ya?)
It was Time Masters (aka Les Maîtres du Temps) Based on Stephan Wul's The Orphan from Perdide
Synopsis :
Piel is a young boy alone on an hostile planet far away with an subspace communication device. Piel believe the mike is a living creature with many voices. At the other side of the galaxy a team try to reach Perdide in a rescue mission.
And, Yes it's one of the best Hard Sci Fi made. I cry at the end every time I watch that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vx4qR5hRKI
Warning : Not to watch with young Childrens : it's kinda violent and Psycho at some moments.
Gameboy : the thread is yours.
If this movie is really French and the stills are this detailed , then the animation must suck terribly.
EDIT: From the YT link I can see that I was very wrong about the animation quality. I wonder why this film isn't better known. There wasn't too much stuff like that in the 80s, not to mention early 80s. In fact I don't think there was anything comparable at that time outside of some anime films that rarely made it to the West.
Thanks very much for the info, Dan! I'm from Eastern Europe and no one ever mentioned this film here. Maybe it was making rounds on VHS once, but got quickly forgotten.

Actually, I think it's The Shadow with Alec Baldwin.
Correct, it's The Shadow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-3FaJ27Is) - the only superhero movie where the hero castrates the villain at the end and even throws a raving mad Tim Curry through a window to his death. Actually those 2 things (and a few others) make this my favorite superhero movie of all time.
Here is a bonus Alec Baldwin photo from the film. I just can't recommend it enough:

Oh, and you're next, anian!
Hehe, yeah it's actually not a bad movie in the trashy 90's style. Plus the awesome mix of art deco and ancient powers and Mr. Frankfurther himslef always a plus.
Ok, next one, should be easy. Again the other one is a tad more of a hint and if you watched the movie, you'll probably remember it:

No. It was just pure luck that I watched that old movie about two weeks ago. Otherwise I never, ever would have guessed it from that one screen shot. :)
Speaking of old VHS tapes I dug from my closet, I present my next clue(s). Please excuse the crappy quality. The movie is fairly old and was never released on DVD (but it was available on laser disc!)

Be honest with us, Dual - you don't have another photo for this movie. The one you used looks like you found it in a trashcan.
I'm bored to get another one, so yeah. Okay here's another hint, Al Pacino stars in it.
Is that the one with Ellen Barkin killing her dates and Pacino an undercover cop hunting her?
Greek composer? It must be Vangelis! And that means this must be Blade Runner! :D
omg, i give away the bloody plot, and nobody guesses it.
IT'S NOT BLADE RUNNER.
Al Pacino, a cop, fights the corruption in the police.
He gets shot and we see what lead to this.
In the meantime, he starts dating this lady(in the picture)
The movie is a one letter word and starts with an S and ends to an O.
The music was composed by Mikis Theodorakis.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST GOOGLE IT.
Is that Ellen Barkin in the picture. If not, then I haven't seen the film.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead?
And if it is, could the movie be Sky High?
Hi. Again, Domino.
Is it 'LEGEND'.
The devil in the monitor screen, if I remember correctly, was played by 'Tom cruise'. :o
I also, at the time was shocked.
Not only by the fact that they killed a unicorn but the fact that, five foot nothing, Cruise was the Devil. ;D
Jay.
Tim Curry played the devil in that movie. Tom Cruise was the five foot human.
Also, there are no digital cameras in that movie. Not that I remember anyway.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU JERKS POST ONE I'VE SEEN, HUH?!
I thought this would be an easy one...

Anyhoo, I'm going for something slightly different this time. My pic is of the "behind the scenes" sort. But true fans of this film should have no problems guessing it. The architecture is pretty distinctive.

The movie tells the story of a virtual-reality game designer who finds out that the main character of his game has achieved sentience due to an attack by a computer virus. Asked by his creation (who feels everything the character in the game feels, including multiple deaths) to eliminate its existence, Jimi sets out to erase the game from his employer's server before it's commercially released, and thus spare Solo further suffering.

You certainly did not cheat. Life is like an adventure game. You opened your inventory and used teh googles on the picture. Perfectly acceptable!
Anyhoo, Hell Comes to Frogtown is a true cult classic. I hope this inspires a few of you to watch it.
Domino's turn.
The trailer looks amazing. I'll have to check it out.
Damn. If Googling is acceptable I could have won at least 5 times... D'oh.

And Stu, we might as well allow Googling. There's no way to prove people aren't doing it. And as long as the name of the pic doesn't give any clues, how effective can teh googles be without a few extra clues on the part of the person posting the pic?

I here admit to using google, BUT only because I wasn't sure if it was Absolon or Avalon (I knew the movie, just wasn't sure about the title), turns out Absolon is a Chris Lambert movie, so I'd say it's Avalon.
Yep, the film is Avalon. Named after a classy bar. Your turn!

Nice guess, but wrong. This one is quite a bit older.
F for Fake aka Vérités et mensonges?
Also a very nice guess, and also wrong. It's not that old. Think 80s :)
Does it have a naked Sophie Marceau in it? If so, I've probably seen it. Otherwise, I probably haven't.
Koyaanisqatsi?
Not French enough I bet. :(
No, not Koyaanisqatsi, or any other qatsi for that matter. And not Baraka either. And there's no naked Sophie Marceau in it. Sorry. Here's a shot from the film with cats to cheer you up.

How did you do ???
It wasn't easy. I went to IMDB to see how many French films had been made without a naked Sophie Marceau in them. Turns out there have been quite a few. (What the hell, French film industry?! Sophie should be in all your movies!) Then, having learned how many movies I would have to watch that didn't feature gratuitous Sophie nudity, I gave up and goggled "French film makers who have inspired Terry Gilliam". From there, it was just a series of "Chris Marker" google image searches until I found a movie still with porcelain cats in them. (My kung fu is strong! :D )
So, yes, I cheated. But this thread was in danger of losing its mojo. I had no choice! ;)

To name your movie i shall not cause i only know the greek title. But that is Mastroianni. Anyhow, nice movie :P
I believe it's not Mastroianni. One of the best movies I've seen with one of the best actors I've seen! Nice choice Ascovel!
Of course, having an unfair advantage, I'll refrain from posting the answer. :P
It's Big Deal on Madonna Street! I have it on DVD! \o/
Yay! So everyone guessed it.
Great shame about what happened to the film's director last November.
LimpingFish, you're the ONE!
I've accumulated a huge list of interesting looking films to look out for from this thread.
Am I happy about it, though?
No. No, because the bitterness of not guessing anything is eating away like a cancer at any capacity I have to ever feel happiness again. Bah.

Super Van? (Which is an awesome movie, by the way 8) )
Eggie: The trick is to watch the movies before they get posted here.
LimpingFish: I haven't got a clue, so I'll guess MASH just because of the colour palette and the army green vehicle.

Nope.

Clue the first:It's not a war movie.
Bananas ?
Batman? (That vehicle looks like an early version of the Batmobile)

Gandhi? Tron? Fast Times At Ridgemont High?
Quote from: LimpingFish on Thu 29/09/2011 01:45:12

That makes it absolutely obvious: Blade Runner!
Nope x4.

It must be E.T. !!!!!!!!!!

Yes! It is E.T.! Wait...no, no...it's not. :(

G'day, mate!
Death Race 2000?

I didn't want to hijack this thread but I'm sure one of you movies lovers knows the answer.

Howard The Duck?

Howard The Duck?
How in horny heck did you manage to get Howard the Duck from that one image?
...
I mean, you're right and all, but still...I shudder to think how well you know that movie!
Really!? It's Howard!? :)
Would you believe it was a wild guess? ;)
I mean I guessed Moontrap without ever hearing that movie title before.
(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8443/mirrormirror.png)
Hmmm... Dry, dusty land... somebody's upside down... Clearly this movie is set in Australia.
Muppets Down Under?
Maybe it's simply Australia
Razorback?
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2844/mirrormirror4.png)
looks like Ong Bak or something in that direction...
That looks like Tony Leung, so I would like to think it's a Wong Kar Wai movie, hence - Ashes of Time?

Correctomundo!
Though Tony Leung is a major star in Asia, so you shouldn't have put so much trust in his Wong Kar Wai connection. ;)

Yeah, I know, he's a great actor with an
amazing filmography, I just wanted it to be Wong Kar Wai, and the first shot hinted at the possibility. :)
Okay, moving on:
(http://i.imgur.com/5Ihcx.jpg)
Priscilla Queen of the Desert?
Meet The Feebles ?
The holy mountain?
I think I saw it a while ago when I was in the mood for some pretty weird movies.
Road to El Dorado?
Buckethead, that's right! It's Alejandro Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain". Your Turn!
Ok the next one. Should be fairly easy:
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6325410/no_hints.jpg)
Sex in The City ?
[bandwagon] I don't know how she does it? [/bandwagon]
According to the shape of his right arm, this is clearly an older Nexus model. I'll say Nexus 2, maybe Nexus 1.
I'm not sure what you guys are on about. Does it require more hints?
unless it;s conan the barbarian. But yeah, can't place it either.
Quest for Fire?
ok another picture:
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6325410/morehints.jpg)
Also, the movie isn't so well known perhaps, but the actor that plays the main character is.
Genkhis Khan?
I googled the actor on the right and found the title, but that probably shouldn't count.
Well his name is pretty complicated if I recall correctly. So it's an achievement anyhow.
Alright, I see I already blew it for the other contestants anyway.... it's Beowulf & Grendel!
yes, yes it is.
How about something wintery?
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4972/eyeyey.png)

Be The Mask ?
Green Snake?
Nope, nope.
Yes! street cred +1!! I AM DRUNK ON DELICIOUS VICTORY!
Blade runner ?
I am so overflowing with street cred right now I get to post a SECOND IMAGE.

This is one of my DESKTOPS!

I love this sceeeeeene.
Curse of the Buddha?
I honestly don't have any idea what movie this could be. But Lee sports some really nice shirt in this shot.
Oh, man, Christopher Lee made so many movies. And I've seen so many of them...
It looks about mid-late-sixties-ish, and British. Doesn't look Hammer, more Tigon, so...Curse of the Crimson Altar?
Curse is not in any of this movie's multiple titles.
Quote from: Eggie on Sun 16/10/2011 21:50:58
Curse is not in any of this movie's multiple titles.
So we can rule out
Curse of the Obscure Movie then? ;)
And Curse of Christopher Lee's Weird Shirt.
Oh no, I went too obscure. I went too obscure and lost all my street cred. :(
AND I don't know any of the movies people incorrectly guessed.
I thought this would eaaasy for you guys!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/EggHeadCheesyBird/herculesguys.png)
Hercules is in this movie and he's played by Mr Universe winner and mentor to Arnold Schwarzenegger Reg Park who probably has one of the coolest torsos in cinema.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/EggHeadCheesyBird/rockmonsterguys.png)
I'm posting this guy too while I still have the chance because there's now enough information to look the movie up on IMDB
(Curse of) Hercules in the Haunted World?
Well done! I may not be up on all your fancy cult films but I know my Mario Bava so anyone who ever has a hankering to talk about Mario Bava; I am totally available for that at all times.
Mario Bava... Wow! :o
Ah ha! Now I has teh street cred!

Priest & Maximus: The Napoleonic Wars?
Nope, but you are close. :)
Yellow Beard and the Pirates?
Betty: When little Dan was two minutes old I tattooed it on his head.
Yellowbeard: Does he know about this?
Betty: Oh, no no no, that's why I kept him in the cupboard for three years. That may be why he's a bit odd with all these books, and reading, and stuff like that.
Ooh... Ooh!
I know this one.
If I am right, which I think I am, I will have to post my one tonight.
is it 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World'.
Please let it be.
I've been out of this game for soooo long. :'(
This is down to the fact that I haven't had a bloody clue as to the other movies.
It is.
Loved that film!
Correct.
Woo Hoo!
I am back. ;D
Try this one.
Looking at this again. I have a feeling that it may be a bit easy. :-\

Damn.
I think I know this one aswell.
I won't say though cos I don't have another movie to show yet.
But I think the heroes are kids... Yes?
Domino - Though it is an 80s movie, Fox is not in it.
Retro - Yes, the kids are the heroes :)
-Bill
I know.
I knoooow.
Oh. Wow!
What a blast from the past this movie is. (I think I have it on DVD... Yes... Yes I have.)
I loved this movie. And still do.

-Bill
Fright Night?
The Lost Boys ?
Nope, and nope.
I will upload a new image when I get into work to see if it helps.
-Bill
Is it that straaaange 80s kids movie with the song about imagination making a man of you at the end?
Lol I have no idea what movie that is. I am certain this isn't it :)
Bill
Found the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZvcHTTGw5Y)

Also is it Night Of The Creeps? I don't know what that is but it shows up the related videos for Ghost Chase.

The Men who Stare at Chess?
Bobby Fisher : The Lost Years.
Oh, god, what have I done. Now the world will drown in the ocean of chess puns :D
The King and I ?
Well, it's certainly not:

It certainly seems that way. Actually, now that I think of it, probably much, much less than 1% of the population has seen this movie. But still, awesome people of this forum have cracked some much more obscure films than this one. :)
Come on, people, cheat and guess it already. :) We've already established that the lead actor is Moritz Bleibtreu, and it's quite obvious that the film is european and it features some chess-playing (romanian) border guards. It's also pretty damn good. ;)

it is a Yakuza movie. A cult Yakuza movie from what I heard.

If you describe what you see in the photo, you'll get this film's title
Girl In A Smoke Filled World II: The Smokening
Typical Tuesday in Nippon?
Yakuza Chainsmoker

Forget the smoke! It's not important. It's just some stuff that was in the bottles still in one piece on the photo below.

I will post more screens in a few hours if nobody gets it :)
It is a comedy though. Just a hint.
Goodbye Leggy Blonde?
That's Marie Curie. I clearly remember that scene because of the goldfish in the drinking glass.
It's : Young Einstein.
(Best biography of Einstein's childhood in Tasmania ever made.)
DING DING!
Mr. Dan has secured a most glorious victory!
I didn't remember that she plays Marie Curie, otherwise I would've said so when Ascovel said something.
But yes, it is the best Tazmanian Einstein movie ever. Yahoo Serious was a very undervalued comedian :o

I saw that movie in theaters with this chick who really wanted to see it because she had a thing for Karl Urban. I haven't seen that movie since, but I still remembered that bit with the tongue and the cotton balls for some reason! 8)

You're in the right frame of mind. But this wasn't a TV show, it was a movie. (But it was still packed with bad special effect and under-dressed women, just like Buck Rogers!)
It just couldn't be Barbarella, could it? I don't remember this part of the movie.
Quote from: anian on Mon 24/10/2011 00:16:57

Nope. More recent than Barberella. It was part of the post-Star Wars cash-in craze that followed after Lucas' big hit.

I knew it's not it, but just wanted to jump in for a random post:
Any old Godzilla movie with Kinggidora in it?
Looks like a snowspeeder cockpit shot from The Empire Strikes Back.
The giant claw?
Yes, it is the antimatter-shielded extraterrestrial flying battleship "The Giant Claw":

Hey, you didn't even wait for a pic with Nick Cave!
Haha apparently I rushed the Google search just a bit. :-\ oops.
I was just so excited to get one right again, even though I cheated. lol
Google spoils it all. You're right, Timothy, your turn. :)

Attack The Block?

Eggie sir, you are correct!
The movie was a little cheesy but very enjoyable. It was also a little hard to ignore that terrible British gang accent. It really doesn't sound tough at all. Nothing like the American gang accent; to me anyway.

That's clearly not Blade Runner >:(
Maybe it's Robocop then. :D
For some reasons I found the man in the middle looked a bit like Tommy Lee Jones, but I don't think that he was in such an old movie. After all, googling(or better say, IMDBing) pictures suggested that this should not be him as he didn't look like this when he's young. In other words, as always, I HAVE NO IDEA.
Curses, I had to pick a film I'd misplaced my DVD of. You'll have to settle for this youtube rip I'm afraid:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/EggHeadCheesyBird/reflecting.png)
Saw IV?

But I have not a clue what it is.
EDIT: I found the Twilight Zone version - look!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/The_Dummy.jpg)
EDIT2: Alright, I fought my way to it through google: It's Dead of Night!
I must confess I never heard of it - apparently the first ever horror film anthology (from 1945) - so it goes straight onto my to-watch list.
Chucky's grandfather ?
Googly McGoogleson wins the round. That was my attempt at being mainstream, is it possible I have... TOO much street cred?
We're not all from INGARLARND here, Eggie. I think "mainstream" must mean some different movies in your country.
Anyway, sorry that I McGoogled the whole thread, but it didn't seem like anyone was going to guess it.
Something sweet/creepy to soften the blow:

Is it Legend?
-Bill
Yes, it is.
It was actually a bit of a tricky photo to put here, since it's not directly from the film, but from the trailer. So the scene you see is shown through the giant letter 'N' floating in darkness.
I recognized the chick from seeing the movie ages ago :)
My submission...
A movie I liked a lot when it came out (I was in high school), but the soundtrack to it got worn out to the point I had to buy a 2nd copy of the CD (this was before music downloads lol):
It has a fairly popular cast, including an oscar winner.
(http://i33.tinypic.com/dc9bol.png)
-Bill
That is Jeremy Piven. In the dark. Aside from that I've got nothing. From your age I'd guess Grosse Point Blank but that is such a wild guess as to not qualify for a win even if I am correct*.
*See what I did there?
Yup. It is Jeremy Piven. But this movie came out WELL before he got famous. It is actually older than Grosse Point Blank.
The people in this movie, I can honestly say with the exception of the oscar winner, would now all be billed AFTER Piven in the credits. As it is, he was a relative unknown when this movie came out.
-Bill
Ooo I think I found out what movie it was. Not going to say what I believe it is as I don't have anything to post. If it is that movie, I loved it when I was a kid too.
I definitely don't remember the music though.

PM me with it if you'd like, I can verify it (or crush your hopes and dreams).
But the music / soundtrack for the movie had like 15-16 platinum artists on it all with original songs. Amazing, amazing, amazing soundtrack.

Alrighty, well, here is one more screenie:

-Bill
Alright, with no one else guessing it after a fair amount of time with this second screenie and since I found a movie I want to post...
I'll toss in my guess (that I was already given confirmation in PM of being correct): Judgment Night (1993).
Here's the next movie screenshot:

Good choice Poc301! I totally forgot about that movie. With the memorable scene of the car seller trying to buy his life...
Is it X-men? (and something bad is going to happen to the guy in the photo?)
Yep. I'll give it to you. It's X-Men: First Class
And no, nothing bad happens to him, his mind is just frozen for a moment.

Yes, that's the scene I was thinking of. Ironically, I was 99% sure it can't be from such a recent film - I just wrote about the first film that came into my mind based on that image.
Now, for something Halloween themed...

Could it be....
The 1980s Tv version of Worst Witch? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhuPn8_d0Q)
I haven't seen the film but that's one of my favourite things on youtube
Yes it is! :)
Damn, I should have picked a more obscure scene but Curry in that "cape" was just too tempting.
The whole film is worth watching though. The producers should've sued Harry Potter when they still had the chance.
And now... has anyone seen my toumburine? :=
Keepin' it Halloweeny (and awesome):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/EggHeadCheesyBird/joancuZAP.png)
Addams Family Values?
Correct! Totes one of my favourite comedy films, yo.
Not nearly obscure enough, but at least it's not the Nightmare Before Christmas:
(http://i.imgur.com/ukrZP.jpg)
The Empire Strike Back - Director's Cut.
- You nut.
- Come on guys, I swear I heard someone yelling 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' down the pipe.
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.
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:
(http://i.imgur.com/JUSgj.png)
Now I get which director and actor you are talking about, but I clearly never seen this film, or even know the title.
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 :)
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.
Noted!
Ok, this one should be quite easy for all the sci-fi geeks out there :)
(http://i.imgur.com/PRSlA.jpg)
is it Lost in Space?
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:

Awesome movie about insecure comedians, set at the Edinburgh Festival and lots of cool people in the cast.

You're correct sir.
Another potentially easy one. Big hint here, according to the director, this is the most important shot in the film.

The 2010 Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black?
The perfect example of how big someone's ego can get.
Not the Shining. I assume "shinning" is some obscure fetish sex move that involve rubbing one's tibia against a lady's labia. Actually, that sounds kinda hot...
It looks a bit like Zodiac, in terms of production design.
As soon as I read "The Shinning" I thought of The Simpson's "Treehouse of Horror"
"No TV and no beer make Homer something something..." :=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrLawOpWcHQ&feature=related
It's looks like the Bradbury hostel in Blade Runner but with the light on.
Nope.
It's Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro. I must admit that I would have guessed The Shining at first glance. But then I read what you said about the corridor and remember reading that in the trivia of IMDB after seeing the movie.
Hooray for movie facts! :=
I'd never even heard of 2010 Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black, and I intend never to watch it.

Somebody, just post a movie pic and keep this thread alive. :)
It's only been 16 hours since Buckethead's answer, which I took 9 hours to confirm. It's still his turn. Give the guy a little more time, like at least a full day before you start jumping up and down for another entry like you've gotta wee.

It doesn't bother me at all, but it is was fun to keep this thread going. I just want more screen shot movie action.
The Game Over screen was just to have some fun.

Not sure, since Keaton looks a bit older in this pic...

Is it The Other Guys?

Yes! I am teh winrar! Tremble before my mad google skillz!
Here's my clue:
(http://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/MovieClueF.PNG)
I saw this movie when I was a kid, when it hit theaters in 1979 (I'm old!). I was seven and it was my second favorite movie after Star Wars.
I know a lot of movies came out in the late 70s, and a lot of them were road trip movies like this one, so this is a really hard one. But don't give up! I'll go ahead and give everyone a clue so this thread doesn't grind to a halt.
Google Clue: They're in a 1951 Studebaker.
There. That should be enough to get you guys started. Good luck, everyone! ;)
Lol with the hints..
The Muppet Movie (1979)?

I know! Everything about that movie was awesome! Kermit rides a bicycle. Fozzy drives a car. And then Big Bird shows up out of nowhere. Man, I'm feeling so nostalgic right now. :D
I actually went and watched it again just now. I have to skip most of the musical bits because they just bore me but otherwise it holds up well for a movie made when I was 3 years old.
Sorry for the delay. I'm turning into Dualnames. ;)
(http://www.bryvis.com/entertainment/other/agsf/moviechallenge6.jpg)
Looks like a still from The Explorers with their silly orb-spaceship made of junk.
Unfortunately no, that's not what this movie is but I knew someone would guess that movie. ;)
I actually couldn't remember what that movie was called so I'm happy you reminded me. Explorers was an excellent movie when I was a child, I'll see if I can download it.
This movie is a lot more recent than that.
Earth Girls Are Easy?
Definitely not. This movie doesn't involve space at all and isn't old at all. ;)

As corny as the songs are, I still like some of them. Especially the song Rowlf and Kermit sing about their woman troubles. The older I got, the more meaning that song had for me. ;)
Hmmm. 'Caution' is printed on the orb. Is it a booooomb?
Continuing with my random guess that I'm sure it is not correct, Batman Returns.
QuoteYou just killed my childhood
Oh come on, Dan. They made that ship out of poorly-welded circus parts and twine. It was like watching a *bad McGyver episode. I still enjoyed the movie though, I admit.
*all McGyver episodes are bad cheese.

Yeah but it worked !
MacGiver would have built a giant inflatable duck out of garbage bags and duct tape. Then steal the circuits from a nameless East-German terrorist organisation while saving a girl. EDIT : And at the end of the show, he will let the duck ship fly away while the girl make one memorable why-this-guy-is-not-trying-to-sleep with-me face.
The A-Team would have improved the concept with a 50's caliber machine gun on the top of the garbage can and rocket launcher bolted to the rear wing, but none of them will be just able to find the Power switch of the computer. Anyway, Barracuda won't fits in the cockpit and Face don't need such device to grab an highschool girl.
Walter Bishop from
Fringe will olny induce himself an LSD overdose and just spaced out to the E.T ship without building anything cool. That will olny lead to a reset of the actual story and the serie will start again from scratch.
Jacob Hood from
Eleventh Hour would make a 20 minutes speech about what the chip is suppose to do then suddently arrest the janitor of the Lab for murder without any particular link to the story.
Sexy Beast?
Are you guessing that because the Sexy Beast poster has a swimming pool on it?
No. Because it had some giant rocks falling in the swimming pool in it.
I still think you're just basing this off the poster. That giant grey boulder you thought you saw... that's just Ray Winstone.
No to all the guesses.

Nope. It's actually a big ball with a seat and person in it, built by a bunch of jocks.
I'll post another pic in a bit if no one guesses correctly.
But another hint, this movie was released within 2010-2011.
Is it one of those JackAss movies?
Nope. It's a comedy movie based in the late 80's.
Here's the second screenie:

Hmm. I figured this movie would be a little more popular than this. lol
Here's the third screenshot revealing the protagonist and his date:

Seeing as no one got it yet and Googling seems to be accepted:

Take Me Home Tonight.
Can't say I've ever seen it, or want to...
That would be the one.
How about this?
It'll be easy if you've seen the film any time recently.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GSptxKA7ToU/Trw96ouJqDI/AAAAAAAAAJg/eoG6CGAlGeE/s723/MoviePic.jpg)
I have seen the movie recently, but have no idea what it is.
Also, what do people mean when you say "Googling it"? I mean, would
"giant ball" pool airbag cocaine "red car" blonde movie
Really yield results? Because it doesn't seem to. Or is it just a case of recognising an actor and then googling some of those things?
I typed "airbag cocaine face movie" and it was the 4th hit. Too many search terms narrows the chances of success.
Oh right! I remember where I saw that scene!
IT IS IN BRUGES!
It totally is.
And it's a scene way more disturbing than Stephen Mangan's rubber penis. But I'll bet everybody's jobs are safe. Pfaaah
Doh! I check this thread too late! I would have totally gotten that one if I had, as In Bruges is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Damn it! I knew that was too much of a hint! Curse you, iconic American cars of film land!
I of course knew it was a Muppets movie, I even remember seeing it, just wasn't 100% which one it was until you said the year. But looking through imdb, and seeing that they're in a car, I would've more than likely guessed the correct movie even without the year hint. It definitely wasn't the car hint. ;)
Here we go. How about this:
(http://www.freewebs.com/spentertainment/MISC/Clipboard.png)
Shot in the dark here, but is it Austin Powers: Goldmember?
Nice guess, ddq! But I'm afraid it is not Goldmember.
Longest shot of all time, Carlito's Way?
wild guess: Fear and loathing in las vegas.
Placed purely on the wonky architecture behind her is iiit...
...a scene from Monkeybone which inexplicably doesn't contain any wacky creature costumes or stop motion and is focused instead on a girl watching herself dance in a mirror?
I was going to say monkeybone, based on the same premise.

I do believe, Mr Ponch, that this is the japanese racers car in...
wait for it... Cannonball Run.
As a kid I thought it was a great film.
I saw it recently, though, and thought 'What a steaming mound of dragon dump'. :D
Cannonball Run?
Dammit RJ beat me to it by seconds :(
Cheer up, Stupot. ;)
We may, both, be wrong.
If not and I am victorious then I have a nice easy one that everyone will appreciate.
Cannonball Run it is! Take it away, RetroJay! :D
HA HA!!
I, do, stand victorious. ;D
Ok. Lets see how many seconds this takes. Starting NOW!

One of the Delta force movies (first one I guess)? Thing is there's more movies with him having a beard than a moustache, right?
It's not Delta Force.
Good try but definitely wrong.
Do you recognise the woman? It may or maynot help. ;)
Romancing the Stone?
Not Romancing the stone. That was Michael Douglas.
You are on the right track though. This film also involves hidden treasure.
Here's another screenie.
(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z464/retrojay1/002.png)
This might give it away.
The woman played 'Dale Arden' in 'Flash Gordon', not to be confused with 'Flesh Gordon'. :D
Firewalker?
Domino.
That is... 100% correct. It is 'Firewalker'.
Take it away, Sir. :D

Holy poop! I had forgotten all about Firewalker! :D
And I watched Domino's movie just a few weeks ago! If nobody guesses it by tomorrow evening, I'll jump on this opportunity! :=
Sorry. It is an 80's movie cheese-fest.
That would be a screen from Chopping Mall just before it kills the janitor who also played in Gremlins 1 and 2 as the crotchety Mr. Futterman.

Without the flared trousers I'll said it's Young Guns. But no way even Charlie sheen will wear those.

He looks like Tom Hanks to me.
Or maybe I'm still under the influence of the photo a few posts earlier.
Is that Laura Dern in the background wearing sunglasses?
Right now, I am clueless about what movie this is.
The Lion King ?
The Happy Legend of Caddy Vance Tin Shack Cup Gilmore?
This clue might give it away. The actor with his back turned in the image is James Garner.
If you guys still haven't figured it out by the time I get home from work then I'll upload another screen shot.
The only films I've seen with James Garner are westerns. :(
I have been looking through somewhat current James Garner movies on IMDB and I am not even finding anything close to that scene.
I figure it has to be somewhat current, because from what the girls are wearing, it seems to be fitting for a 90's setting, and Mr. Garner doesn't appear to be a wrinkled old man like he is now.
I think I checked all his movies from the late 80's to early 2000's and I ain't found shit. ;D

Blues Brothers 2000?
How about that film with David Bowie, ZE MAN WHO FELL 2 EARTH?
Blade Runner 2 - Before they'll add the CGI ?
God I hate myself.

Actually if I were to guess, I'd say the object falling/floating is a couch.
No, I'm telling you it's definitely Keanu Reeves's stunt double!
Batman Begins before they add the CGI ?
A couch you say? Hitchhikers Guide - before they added the CGI?
Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"?
Jump The Couch II: Tom Cruise's Revenge?
No couch was involved in the making of this particular movie. Although, someone may have sat on one at some point.
Clue the first! It was made in the 1980s
Bonus clue! It isn't a comedy.
Blade Runner?
nowait...
Robocop? :D
Buckaroo Banzai?
Sorry, dudes, but no bitches leave, nor Lectroids appear, during this movie.
A few more unsuccessful attempts, and we'll have another pic.

Alright bros, let's mix it up a bit. Instead of a picture, here's a 10 second audio clip.

This screenshot doesn't really give anything away, but if you know the movie you might get it. I'll put another up after a few guesses.
The Trotsky ?
The Spanos ?
Mulholland Drive?
Nope, nope, nope.
I probably won't have time tomorrow to put another pic, so I'll do one now.

Adventures In Primary Colors?
Erotic Tales of the Crayola Gang?
Days of Satin?
Nope, but not too far away.
Palette And The Holograms ?
Atari 2600 - The Movie ?
No, Seriously Stupot, I wanna see this movie, it's so surrealistic.
You should. It is a terrible film, though. ;D
I only bought it because someone made a video on youtube made of clips from this film and my favourite song from Vib Ribbon over the top of it.
Once again, I must resort to using the power of teh Google and hazard a guess that the film is Teknolust and that this is the music video in question. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xymnHOirX6E)
Yep :-D
And you'll see my comment from 5 years ago saying how I intend to buy the film, haha.
Your turn ddq
PS, the clue 'Faraday' was a bit tenuous. It referred to the fact that Jeremy Davies, who plays Daniel Faraday in Lost, is also in this film.
God, I am gonna have to take a break from this soon. I'll try to stop answering after this one.
Clue for this one: this shot is also a 15 second still frame in the film.
(http://i.imgur.com/ofoVn.jpg)
Maniac Mansion : The Movie ?
cool guys don't look at explosions
Rambo 3?
V for Vendetta?
I bet the voice over goes "so there I was..." when the picture freezes.
Oh Shit, Creeper.
Everyone including Eggie is totally, totally wrong.
I just watched this a few weeks ago on a channel that had a Mob Marathon. I nearly didn't recognize it for a moment, but your 15 second freeze frame is what made it sound right since he narrated the whole intro of that movie.
Is it: Goodfellas
"One day some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect."
Go for it, Ryan.
Right on. Sorry for the delay, I had started work 2 hours after I had guessed.

This movie is pretty obscure. But pretty recent.
Quote from: Ryan Timothy on Wed 30/11/2011 02:02:09
This movie is pretty obscure. But pretty recent.
In other words my chances of knowing the title couldn't be smaller.
Again, I've figured it out using my Google Fu, but I'ma let this one keep going. I will give the additional hint that when Ryan says "pretty recent", he means "really recent".
Fat Dude Waiting for Dinner?
Here's a hint for dualnames, the movie has a ludicrously tenuous connection to Brazil.
Argentina?
Brazil Nuts Make Poor Mouse Bait: The Movie ?
Men Who Stare at Mousetraps.
I am downloading it. Cause boobs.
I'll post another image hint later tonight.
Of Mousetraps and Men.
Nope.
Here's an obvious hint for the Google power. ;) Oh and I don't always post movies I overly enjoyed, this movie was kinda slow, odd and pretty pointless, but it did leave me with a feeling of pity for the main character.

Is it that 'We have need to talk about Kevin' malarkey?

What sort of hint is that? I can't use the googles if that's all you give me to work with. ;)
QuoteIt's a short film.
You might as well say it's an independent film. So basically 5 people have seen it (including the director and you) :).
Robot Chicken: Star Wars?
God, now I'm just giving it away. It's easily the oldest and one of the most popular Star Wars parody films, waaay back before all the Robot Chicken/Family Guy bullshit and it's Lucas's personal favorite parody.
I'm disappointed in you people.
Hardware Wars?
Sweet biscuits, you're right! There's Ham Salad! :D
When and if ddq gives me the confirmation...I will have a new screen shot ready.
Well, I have a screen shot ready now. Just waiting to confirm.
I thought Lucas's favorite parody was Troops?
QuoteNotable film parodies of Star Wars include Hardware Wars, a 13-minute 1977 spoof which Lucas has called his favorite Star Wars parody,
That is what I am going by.
Domino was right. I thought it would be totally obvious, actually.

Once I knew what it was, I could easily see it. But until then, I was trying to make it into some sort of toga movie or something.
On the positive side, it inspired me to dig out my old Special Edition VHS copy ("now with new special defects!") ;D

If i get another chance at this, you're all doomed. I am done playing with good movies, I will feature movies I and the director alone has seen. THIS IS A WARNING.
Also can i haz ddq's glasses? K.
It is indeed Krull. You get to keep your hipster glasses. But I'm hanging on to Dualnames. We each risked a lot in these last few hands of Guess that Movie, and I think we've both learned a valuable lesson about gambling addiction. ;)
Your turn, sir!
EDIT: Sorry, Dual. You cannot have Drew's glasses. But at least you have your freedom. Treasure it, Dual. Treasure it!

According to the fact that :
a) It's good

c) There's a cute girl protagonist
d) Robots and humans have sex together
but

So it's cleary Sleeper with Woody Allen.

I'm serious. It's Killer Clowns from Outer Space.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
No one can say "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" and be serious in the same time.
In other hand, someone somewhere made that movie... And also this is Progz...
Killer Kweepas From Outer Space ?
Shit me! Kweepa's right!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=P7CVvfwegEo#t=16s
I'm watching this film at the next opportunity.
Kweepa's right. Well spotted :).
Yeah, I watched it about six weeks ago and recognized the film quality (and the special effect).
Ok, here we go:

It can't be Taxi Driver, the car is kind of a new model...But the light seems right...
Nope to all. Hint: I did not manipulate this image, the movie is in black and white.
Rumble Fish?
There seems to be a CCTV camera on the wall, so it can't be that old...
The Wild One?
If... ?
My guess would be Chris Nolan's early neo-noir "Following". There aren't many outdoors scenes there, but they kinda look like this.
Also, the scary magic of google image search recognizes the car from the screenshot as Honda Civic 1994, so we know the time frame :D
I didn't even notice there's a car in the photo.

Wait a minute... I live there. That's the Arcade Restaurant in Memphis. Which makes the movie Mystery Train.
Ha! Well, I guess it's back to guessing Christopher Nolan films for us! :D It is indeed Mystery Train. :) And it took only 15 minutes? I think I'll stick to obscure french films from now on. :D

Harold and Maude?
Nopes. I cant get to a computer til after 2gmt but until then heres a clue. The film title begins with S and is 2 wordr. But if i gave you the 2nd initial it would be to easy.

Here's picture clue two:

It was released in 2004.

Tyrell - A life story.
Forbidden Planet?
Ponch is right - and next.
Sweet! I love that old movie.
Anyhoo, here's my next clue:
(http://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/MovieClueL.PNG)
This movie is known by two names, and I'll accept either one.
Men Who Stare at Each Other.
Surprisingly, not even close, Stu. Try again.
This is so looking like Michael J. Fox. But it's not The secret of my succe$s, is it?
I thought about M.J.Fox but it could be Emilio Estevez... It's an 80's movie or early 90's though...
Hmmm...
The Man that Kept the Gun in his Hand?
Is it Do You Feel Lucky Punk?
Nope. It's neither Michael J. Fox nor Emilio Estevez. But it is an 80s movie.
If no guesses it, I'll post another screenshot before bed tonight.
Wall Street? I don't recall any other CEO-related movies in the 80's.
RoboCop?
Ponch, you have stumped me!! ???
I didn't a little searching and it looks to be a very terrible movie, Ponch. lol
Same here. Looks utter shit. And Ponch lies when he says it's 80's, it was very clearly released in Autumn of 1990! Way to lead them down the wrong path, Ponch.
Quote from: Ryan Timothy on Wed 14/12/2011 00:59:08
it looks to be a very terrible movie, Ponch. lol
Oh now, Timothy. Whatever the exact opposite of very terrible is, this movie is that!
NEW CLUE!
(http://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/MovieClueL2.PNG)
And ddq is right. It did come out in 1990. I could have sworn it came out a year or two before that, but that just shows what a lifetime of adventure gaming has done to my brain. Don't do
drugs scumm, kids!
This is Michael J Pollard, but the film..mhhh. Dick Tracy or Dark Angel. I think it's Dick Tracy, but well...i don't know. Dark Angel definitely, though I can't really place it.
It can't be DarkAngel.
Or can it?!?!?
Quote from: ddq on Wed 14/12/2011 15:35:08

It can! Dualnames wins with the most noncommittal correct answer in the history of Guess The Movie Title. :=

So it means that I need to watch that movie again. I liked it. 22 years? Shit.

Hint: it's not Alien.
Weird Gross Science?
Robocop?
Re-animator?

I feel like I've seen this actor even if I haven't seen the movie...
Could it beeee... geeze I don't know... This film has awesome mutilated torso effects and I don't think I've seen it. I feel like a failure :(
X-Files: The Movie?
The Hidden?
Milton Bradley's Operation - The movie ?
the sternum looks familiar...
The doc looks familiar but... 12 Monkeys?
I'm pretty confident it's not 12 Monkeys, but the doctor does look a bit like Simon Jones who is one of the scientists in 12 Monkeys and is also the original Arthur Dent and I am a cool guy for pointing that out!
Two of my favorite Terry Gilliam movies feature the actor that played Arthur Dent, namely Simon Jones, so yeah.
Now, hint the movie shares a connection with Sex and the City and Blade Runner.
B..B....B.B....B...BRAZIL?
Sex Runner?
Sex with a Blade?
Blade and the City? (Wesley Snipes should totally make this movie! := )

Well donez, Chicky.
This may be cheating, but Nelly thinks it's The Virgin Suicides.
Thank You for Smoking?
Is it "She Waited For the Cops with Reverse On"?
Nelly is right! It was The Virgin Suicides.
Here's Nelly's suggestion, from the worst animated film we've ever watched:
(http://i.imgur.com/fn0ab.jpg)
Mouse Runner?
Seriously...I have no idea. :)
I remember being a bit freaked out by those mice because...well look at them, and they keep popping out each others hats etc., but I can't remember what film it's from.
Anian, you are wise to have blanked this film from your memory. Here's an equally awful but more clue-ful frame:
(http://i.imgur.com/M5e3t.jpg)
I think I recognize that pattern on the left, but I really can't think of a film I'd post a pic from now. ;D Btw I kind of cheated, not on purpose, since I got remined by a recent ThatGuyWithTheGlasses review of it (which really shows how bad and nonsensical the movie is).
What I did remember from that film through the years was
Spoiler
that circus master guy who had the stick with a living head on it, the things in the forrest that had heads that flew around and landed on random bodies (which I thought was a copy of the equally creepy monsters from Henoson's Labyrinth) and the robots that were nothing more than cubes and cylinders but had freaky neon lights coming from them. I mean, while these were creepy (or lazy, in case of the robot army design), they were also kind of memorable.
Yeh, I recognise that pattern, too. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this film though, but for some reason Felix the Cat sprang to mind, so I checked and he has a bag with that kind of design on it.
So is it Felix the Cat: The Movie?
Aw daaaaamn, I think you're right. There is a really terrible Felix movie full of weird shit that I got shown a bit of on youtube.
And that yellow thing with the X's yes... I knew that pattern was familiar...
The Fox And The Hound II - Direct to DVD ?
Yes, Stupot has hit the horribly animated nail on it's horribly animated head!
I hadn't seen the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/33321-felix-the-cat-the-movie) review. If anything he plays down how bad it is.
Also, I swear the version on youtube is different to the version I watched as a student. There's a monster who chases them in a swamp, and in the version I remember the monster kept quoting Marlon Brando lines (with no lip-sync) throughout the scene: "I coulda been a contender," "Stellaaa," etc.
But on youtube, the dreamlike madness is gone, and the monster just makes monster noises...
Cool, another one for my list of films to watch :D

Another hint:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_02.png)
Magicka?
Is everything in this movie filmed in front of a greenscreen? These look weird like that. I want to see this.
Yes, a whole lot of the movie is like that. Don't know why, exactly.
It's the Guy who killed Davy in Christmas Suit.
Little Red Riding Hood in da Hood?
Is it, "Clown Ninja Gets Stoned" ?
Desperately Seeking Susan - Taliban version ?
Soviet Ninja Apocalypse?
Once again, this has gotten far too silly and I am forced to intervene.
Is it Pulse 2: Afterlife?
It is, ddq, it is. Your turn.
Now let's play a little game I like to call "Find the most obscure movie on Hulu."
(http://i.imgur.com/XK5F3.png)
It's a very violent movie called:
Be Scared : I'm 14 and a Half, I Wear a Perfecto and Doc Martens.
Isn't that the not so violent movie called:
"We Paid For The Room But The Celling Sucks And There's a Guy Inside" ?
Quote from: miguel on Sun 18/12/2011 17:36:40
Isn't that the not so violent movie called:
"We Paid For The Room But The Celling Sucks And There's a Guy Inside" ?
It was released in America as "Dude, Where's My Ceiling?" (The creepy guy in the room was a shocking twist that was unfortunately given away in all the trailers).
I still can't make out the dude that's supposed to be in the ceiling.
Edit: Wait, I found the little bastard -- and I don't mean the baby.
(http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr218/ProgZmax/XK5F3.png)
It's like "Where's Waldo" but with creepy little stick figures. :=
I didn't spot the evil bastard, but, how could I? This movie is packed with special effects! She's carrying a baby but it looks like it's only her harm under a blanket!
It's either Blade Runner or the Korean version of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
Or neither.
It's a Korean drama on Hulu, you motherfuckers.
Weird Science?
Aha!

I don't like the way he's holding that whip, or the bizarre grin on her face. Is this some kind of circus porno, Eggie?

Quick! Someone guess the name of this movie so I can rent it! TONIGHT!! :=
Indiana Jones and the Circus Weirdos ;D
Would it be Vampire Circus?
Is it: "Painted Boobies Are Still Boobies" ?
Yep, Vampire Circus be it.
Not my favourite Hammer film, though it does have the enchanting Lynne Frederick in it. And I agree it's not the most widely available Hammer vampire flick, but it did appear on blu-ray this time last year.
I recommend watching it as a double-bill alongside Twins of Evil.

Pumpkin-Carver?
nope ._.
Pumpkin-Carver II: Jack Goes To Subway?
It's a riveting tale. The middle-aged, obese, pumpkin-headed serial killer from the first movie realizes that he'd have much more luck catching victims if he didn't have a 51 inch waistline. So he embarks on a very strict diet.
By the end of the movie, he's down to a 32 inch waistline and catching college kids like he did when he was just a thrill killer back in high school.
It's an incredibly gory, life-affirming tale of sadism and inspiration. Even better than "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" (though not quite as gross as that one -- veggie smoothies? Yuck!). :=

For a moment there, I was sure you were talking about The Last Starfighter.
Indeed it is, Ponch. I didn't want to do some obscure shot but hell if you don't have some kind of insane frame-for-frame memory.
Thanks! :D

Live action Full Throttle movie?
Quote from: anian on Sun 01/01/2012 15:19:51
Live action Full Throtle movie?
Nope. But if you recall that episode of Futurama where Bender is tormented by a were-car, this movie was the inspiration for that design!
Is it that Stephen King one? (I had to look up the name, Christine, but the car looks diferent so I'm probably wrong anyway).

Nope. Christine was a red Plymouth Fury. This vehicle is custom built. (Also, it is pure evil.)
It's 'The Car' !

Ding ding ding!
You are correct! Take it away, sir!
(http://www.gaspop.com/guessflood.jpg)
It's 'The Inside of a Car'!
Is it that French movie called "Moustaches on Water Feel Soft"?
Here's another:
(http://www.gaspop.com/guessfloodII.jpg)
Aaah, that film with Richard Chamberlain whatitwascalled google google google The Last Wave!
Correct!
something a wee bit more challenging perhaps:
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4002/buonosol.png)
The life and death of colonel Blimp? Though I don't remember that shot.
J.S Sebastian New Toys ?
No.
It's not an English language film, but very well-known in certain parts of the world.
He looks like a cross between Tintin and Peewee.
Quote from: Stupot+ on Sun 01/01/2012 23:36:13

Your thoughts are going in the right direction. It's a classic character.
Well I think it might be Å vejk/Schweik/Å vejko or whatever your choice of spelling is, but I don't know much about the movie name. The uniform might fit the time period and the face certanly is similar to the usual interpretation. :-\
this one is fitting, I think
http://www.amazon.de/Abenteuer-braven-Soldat-Schwejk-DVDs/dp/B001JCZYKY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325464266&sr=8-1
don't know it in english :P
so anian is right :D
Good to see a happy face, but that's not exactly the right film adaptation (I think that one is a German TV series and not a film actually).
As far as I know, the adaptation I got my photo from is by far the most iconic one. Here's a popular promo still from it:
(http://img.ahaonline.cz/img/18/full/824582-img-svejk.jpg)
So I'd say anian wins, if he can come up with the title and a more convinced smiley. If he doesn't want it, then it's open to anyone who points to the correct movie.

There is a german movie (black/white) from the sixties, too -but you posted a coloured pic - So I meant the link only to come up with the title for anian ;)
Edit:
How about him? - The Good Soldier Schweik
(http://s14.directupload.net/images/user/120102/qnpes54k.png)
First of all, I am slowly evaporating into mist, because it's 2 am and I'm listening to new Sherlock Holmes soundtrack...
Second thing, I really wouldn't know which movie to put, so if any more western people (should be earlier there) or Tabata (who is cheerfully alive at 2 am and was more precise with the guess) are welcomed to take a turn if you ask me.
Btw I was in Prag/Prague/Prahi a month ago and they have all these Å vejk restaurants around, good food and good beer of course (not as good as the Munich stuff, but still good).
Alright then - Tabata wins the next turn and anian goes to dream! :D
OOOPS - (http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/12962/shocked.gif) but anian knew, that it is the soldier Schweik â€" ahem
Ooookay - Now I can only try to confuse everybody by posting a well known popular film, so if you insist I'll give it a try ;D
will this do?
(http://s7.directupload.net/images/user/120102/rqrizav6.png)
@anian
It's 02:30 over here, too - only some hours left to go to work again ;)
I know this one, it's 'Dolly Parton, The Early Years'!.... :=
in this case the dolls are made for a very special girl - but it's not dolly ;D
I was about to Google "dolly" "very special girl" "period drama", but decided that would look bad if the police were to ever get hold of my hard drive.
The Doll Eater!
drama/horror is the correct direction but the rest doesn't fit
+ somehow "kind of eating" is involved, too ;)
Edit:
... here you have another one from this american movie:

I knew I've seen that angel somewhere before!
So now for something completely different:
(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/5217/loveiv.png)
dracula(tor II)
Bram Stoker's Dracula?
16 Candles ?
First 2 guesses are very close, but not there yet. Let me show you that guy from first photo after he unleashed his sword, so that you have a better reference for finding the exact title.
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/467/love2k.png)
Hehe, I knew it was him even from the back of the head...then again it's like the character he always plays in every movie he's in, even in that certain series of movies.
But even then, I just checked and there's going to be a long time to wait if people are gonna guess this one.
Weird Science?
This would be Scars of Dracula, and I don't feel like rooting through my movies for a screenshot so someone can answer it in five seconds (aka too much effort)...
Which means whoever wants to go next do it, and be quick!
Yes, it's Scars of Dracula!
Next riddle from whoever posts first.
I haven't got time for a screenshot either, so how about a quick quote while we're waiting for someone who has...
Quote from: ?? ??I'm a sophisticated sex robot, sent back in time to change the future for one lucky lady.
well then, after beeing soooooo close I just post a new screenshot :)
(http://i.imgur.com/8HQYr.png)
Clockwork Orange?
nope, but this film also features a bit of the good old ultra-violence *hint hint*
Damn!
I'll never win this thing! Why nobody ever puts 'Bambi' here?
I remember a very similar shot in "Memories of Murder", but I wouldn't call it ultra-violent, at least not for a movie about a serial killer, so it's probably no it. :)
Wasn't there a tunnel part in Pink Floyd The Wall?
It isn't Brick I can tell you that much.
(Is it Brick? I know it's not exactly ultraviolent but, I don't know, maybe you're just ultrasqueamish? I DON'T KNOW, IS IT BRICK?)
Reminds me of the riddle from way back when:

That was the first film I thought of when I saw the screenshot, too. But in that scene there is a train, whereas this screenshot has no tracks.

Fun fact: I was at Mardi Gras the year after Van Damme made this movie and the city of New Orleans had made him the Bacchus the lord of the festival. He was on a float, throwing these coins with his face on them out into the crowds. I caught one and I have it a box somewhere in the closet.
Truly, a brush with greatness. 8)
Your turn, sir.
Fun fact: this movie was like a couple of weeks ago on tv, because our tv channels suck.
I used to think these kind of films were awesome, then turned like 12 and I started to make fun of them, because that's what people are supposed to do, even though they're the staple of the late 80s and early 90s ;D

I used to love Van Damme movies (and Chuck Norris, etc) when I was a kid. As an adult, I love them for completely different reasons. I missed the "let's make fun of this silly movie" phase entirely. I wish we still made coherent but dumb movies like those. It seems like too many of the action movies today are either incoherent (Transformers and Sucker Punch), or trying way to hard to be deep / have a message (Bourne and the Matrix). I miss simple plots and bad one liners. :=
Also, I love the movie you posted. But I just had a turn, so I'll let someone else have it.

Nice try, but there was no situation in which I was talking about any particular Frankenstein adaptation - I mentioned all of them at once.
But to leave you with a helpful hint - that image could have been taken out of any of the so far created Frankenstein adaptations, in the case it was actually taken out of a Frankenstein adaptation, which nevertheless might not be the case.
Frankenstein 1994...
(I KNOW I have seen the movie where that image was taken from, but I just can`t remember exactly which one it was... So if it's not that one, I must keep guessing, hehe)
It's not Frankenstein.

I'm pretty sure he didn't spend half as much on building his castles and operas than other nations wasted on wars at the time. But of course if you wanted to be seen as a powerful nation or even just one capable of defending itself, you had to invest in arms (instead of the king's whimsy).

Did you perhaps make a list somewhere? I'd gladly have a look. I know Troll 2 is by far the most famous one, but maybe something a little less terrible.

I'll have you know I also watch
terrible sci fi films. Just last night I watch Battle Beyond The Stars and two episodes of Galactica: 1980. 8)
So who's going to continue LimpingFish's round?
Well, since you asked so nicely:
(http://i.imgur.com/VMXXA.png)
If you know the answer, give it to me!
Nazi Puppets?
Tourist Trap?
Battle Beyond the Stars was hardly horrible, it had quite a list of solid actors (George Peppard as a literal space cowboy!) and a pretty big budget for the time. Galactica 1980 wasn't even that bad. Apparently you haven't seen
bad sci-fi so I'll give you some advice:
What Reb Brown does for bad action films he double-does for bad sci-fi films. Have a look at Robowar sometime, which is quite literally a combination of terminator and Predator into some kind of dirty, italian gemstone full of ridiculousness. Even though IMDB lists it as action/adventure (and comedy for some stupid reason), it's as sci-fi as Terminator was if a humanoid robot walking around killing people is sci-fi.
QuoteDid you make a list somewhere?
No, but once upon a time I did reviews for a horror movie website under the name 'The Tallman'.
I can give you a quick short-list of things that will make your hair explode, though:
Lady Terminator (aka Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan). Hard to find but worth a watch if you can get it. Basically it's a mish-mash of Indonesian mythology and The Terminator, in that some hapless history student has a super-eel penetrate her vagina and it turns her into a killing machine. Complete with an almost line for line ripoff from the dance club scene in Terminator (ending in 'Come with me if you want to live!') it's one of those movies that drifts from hilarious to offensive and back again. It's not terribly 'scary' or 'gruesome', but it's interesting because it's so bad.
Barn of the Blood Llama. Now this one takes some doing to sit through, and I won't hold it against anyone who pussies out and shuts the movie off at the 25 minute mark. Basically some backwater hicks are genetically engineering the llamas and things go terribly wrong...that is, until some horny chicks arrive, their menstrual cycle being the only thing that stands between Earth and total Llama destruction. DVD version had some horribly made pre-movie 'adverts' to try and sell this as drive-in fodder.
Monsturd. Exactly as advertised, a SHITMAN named Schmitt 'reeks' havoc on the small town of Butte County, the creation of mad scientist Dr. Stern from Dutech (are you getting the crap-puns yet?). Aside from directors Rick Popko and Dan West (the two deputies) the acting is across-the-board horrible, to the point where Paul Wiener (the sheriff) looks like he's reading from cue cards at several points. Acting aside, there's a buttload of poop jokes and brown slime in this intentionally bad film. I don't know whether that disqualifies it but consider that Popko and West had the monster balls to actually make a sequel to this film called Retardead. Yeah, they did that.
ProgZ: I would counter with APEX, Robot Jox, Russian Terminator, Zone Troopers, and The Elminators, but I don't want to give away future movie clues. 8)
Babar: Is it Weird Science?
Hmmm... Puppet Master 23?
I tend to avoid "purposefully" bad horror films; most of Charles Band's current output, anything made post-2000 with a pun in it's title, etc...
I do like 80's Italian schlock (the countless Mad Max/Alien/Terminator/Predator/Robocop ripoffs), though. Usually because
something decent will show up in them (be it someone like Donald Pleasence as the villain, some groovy Claudio Simonetti or De Angelis brothers music, or just some good old-fashioned rubber head explosions), and chances are they will be made by otherwise well-regarded directors who are just working with a miniscule budget. Except stuff by Bruno Mattei, which is just terrible.
Quote from: Ponch on Tue 17/01/2012 18:08:33
ProgZ: I would counter with APEX, Robot Jox...
Robot Jox! Stuart Gordon directing a Joe Haldemann screenplay, with David Allen stop-motion robots?! A fine B-movie by all accounts.
APEX, though, like all of Philip Roth's output, is lifeless gick.
No guess from me on this one.
Joe Haldeman! Bestest Sci-Fi. I used to own The Comic Adaptation of The Forever War. That WAS SOOO GOOD.
Is it Total recall?
Thanks for the recommendations, Progz. I'll check those movies out.
I'm thinking Blade Runner. 8)
Red Dwarfer: Kryten's spare heads attack!
Ye...no.
Miguel is actually closest to what it is...except his title has nothing to do with the movie :P.
Mannequin (Village People Edition)?
It's not F/X or F/X2 by any chance is it?
Aside from the very obvious variations on Weird Blade Science Runner, I sometimes don't get if you people are being serious or not :P. It is not F/X anything either.
Hehe, Mennequin was a joke, but F/X was a genuine guess :)
It's not from Retro Puppetmaster is it?
No

But it's got super cheesy 70s special effects. And it's genuinely funny. And it has robots so awesomely awesome, I'll never be able to rip them off and put them in a Barn Runner game and still have a clear conscience afterward! It's the greatest movie since... well... ever!

Probably isn't but it looks kinda like Aliens Versus Predator

Chicky you got it!
If anyone hasn't seen that movie I recommend it. Just DO NOT watch the trailer beforehand, it gives away ALL the funny lines and scenes in the movie.
Yeah, I was going to say Tucker and Dale because of the scene with the sheriff going into the house and having the beam come down and hit him in the head ;).

I didn't really knew what to pick and ended up with this cheesy movie:
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6325410/cheesymovie.jpg)
I don't know the title, but looks like something from David Lynch.
Those are Beatrix Potter characters sooo... is it... that Rene Zellwegger movie about Beatrix Potter? The Marfgumblous Miff Poffer the English Englishwoman or something?
No guys, you are thinking of movies that are good. This movie is pretty bad. It's also a remake of a Disney movie.
Fucked Up Mother Goose ?
Beverly Hills Cop 3?
Legend of the Overfiend?
Babe V: The Haloween?
Disney Princess Series: La Blue Girl?
(I was going to make a joke about Babe and When Furries Attack!, but Noctambulo beat me to it := )
Believe it or not. Babe is actually in the title.
Here's another hint. A younger Keanu Reeves is in this.
I think there are too much hints already. Even losers like me who rarely watch movies (and never watched this one) can easily figure out the answer via searching within seconds.
I don't wanna take the next (any) turn though, as I'm not savvy enough in this department to provide anything for others to guess.
All I will say is that the movie's name abbreviates to: B.i.T.
Babes in Toyland?
No googling, just very vague memories of being told about a movie that scared my mum when she was a kid. I'm pretty I heard it was black and white but it was mentioned this was a remake soooo... yeeeeeaaaaahhh?

Is violence against the homeless in that park a real problem or just something invented for the film?

@LUniqueDan - Yay, I always wanted my own Incident!

No and no.

@stupot No, but it has some political allegory that was meant for modern times back when the film was made.

it looks like some musical or similar set in late 18 century France or America made in the 60s or something, but since I have no idea, my guess would be Plunkett and Macleane...

Scarlet Pimpernel was the closest one.

Now that I think about the two - Yul Brynner sounds almost like Blade Runner!!!
I don't think this is coincidence.
You did the same thing again, so it can't be accidental! Now I'm pondering even more whether I should accept your response :P
Oh, what a waste of people's time! If the Dan is too lazy to correct his mistake, I'll do it for him!
The correct title is Wasteland!
Despite the Fallout-like visuals, not really!
Westworld, you know, the movie like Cherry 2000 and Red Dawn but with no rpg whatsoever.
(Took myself a while to got the point)
You are absolutely right!

Nope. No cannibalism in this movie.

Why do you have this movie on your Computer?
Because of Monica Lewinsky, Irak, The Mohawk Warriors, hormones, country music, The Royal Canadian Army Cadets, RCA connectors, white wine, Human geography of French Canada, Jesus Christ, and a girl called Melanie.
Now just don't ask what's the internal logic of all of these.

HAHA! Thank you, 3rd year flatmate Anna! It was the coolest thing, I went back to Lincoln briefly during summer and the first thing she said to me was "You have to see this fiiiiiilm!!"
It's an astonishing movie, you can try as hard as you like to crack your little Mystery Science Theatre jokes and you'll always be upstaged by the sheer silliness of what's onscreen. Highly Recommended.

Screencaps from my girlfriend's short-lived horror movie review blog
Looks Draculatish.
The Satanic Rites of Dracula perhaps?
Satanic Rites of Dracula didn't have people staring at paintings! This looks like The Picture of Dorian Gray to me (based on the actor).
Ah, one I don't actually have to think about. :)
That's From Beyond the Grave, one of a number of anthology horror films made by Amicus during the 1970s, and that scene in particular is from the film's fourth and final story, "The Door".
Side note: My brother once met Ian Ogilvy at a party, and said he was a very nice fellow.
How about...

Silent Hill?
Is it one of the Resident Evil movies?
If so, either 3 or 4.
Nope, nope, and nope.
Tomb Raider?
Nooope.
Blood Rayne 1/2. Or Underworld.
Looks like it could be Ripley... is it an Alien movie?
Is it a movie where the husband of Meg Ryan acts in? (god i am stylish!)
Is it Gothika?
Gothica...
Gothic car?
Nay, nay, and thrice nay.
Another scene!

This is probably not a widely seen movie, due to a very fractured release run. It's also pretty bad, but in a good way.

If Heat had a scene with a plane
resting atop a skyscraper, I probably would've enjoyed it a lot more! :D
Haha, is that what it is? I had it down as being a shorter (say 8ft) structure with a plane flying above it.
Looks like one of those Turbulence turd films to me...I remember the landing on a building scene, at any rate.
Skytanic? Skytanic II?
No luck so far, folks. I am going out of my way to avoid saying the two things that would make figuring out the title of this movie somewhat easier, though.
Picture No.3, just to really mess with your heads!

Next, providing nobody gets it, I'll reveal those two important clues I mentioned.
Dragon Ball!!
I think if anyone had seen this movie, they'd get it one screencap.
Hmmmn, tiny car and huge car. Yeeeeaaah, not ringing a bell.
OH! Tiny car and huge car AND plane on a skyscraper! Duh! Bladerunner 2!
Still no takers? Aww....
As promised, two clues:
It's Asian.
It's based on an anime.
Bonus clue: It's not Dragonball.
Hit IMDB, people!
It's not Gunhed. And it isn't Fist of the North Star....

Hey, but someone should guess what episode of Cobra this is from. As far as I remember this was mostly a TV series, but I'm guessing you took a screen from a feature-length film?

You could have just posted a new image after the second day or something instead of waiting for two weeks and just giving out the answer (youtube).

Stupot is correct! It is indeed Nomads (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091647/), the somewhat forgotten, and underrated, directorial debut of John McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator, etc). And a movie well worth tracking down.

Woah woah woah, buddy. Did you just call Blade Runner "nonsense"? :o I'm shocked and appalled at this unseemly turn of events. This is such a nice little corner of the web, Limp. Don't start flinging insults at people's religion all willly-nilly. Really! What would Dan and Dualnames think if they heard you mocking their deeply held beliefs.
I think you owe them an apology. ;)
Also, I hadn't thought about Nomads in YEARS. I wish I still had my old VHS copy of that. It was quite an atmospheric flick, as I recall.

Yeah, I'm sorry...sorry Blade Runner sucks! It's just Logan's Run with more Christmas lights! Harrison Ford buttons his shirt up to his chin! Gaff has a face that looks like it was hit by a thousand tiny meteorites! The voice-over made the movie better! Deckard and Rachel really
did live happily ever after in out-takes from The Shining!

It looks way too high-budget for a boll pic, and there's no orange filter, so Bay is probably right out.

Those broken round glasses remind me of Lord of the Flies, but I'm sure Piggy didn't have a moustache... Hmmm.
It's not LOTF, Stupot. But there are is a lot of moustache frenzy on the movie...

Looks a bit like the guy in Bad Taste who forgets to take off the handbrake.

Love and Death it is,
Nice one ArjoOn, you're next!
I thought it looked like Bad Taste too at first... but Derek has the round glasses and no tash... The handbrake guy has a tash but different glasses.

After a closer look: you're right these are her knees...
Anyway, no it's not Silent Hill.
The descent?
I've watched that one before, it's "Monster Breasts - First Blood".
No and No.
Looks like it's running dry on guesses here so here's a hint: 'Holy Judgment Day'
::)
Terminator 2?
Legion... or maybe End of days, that has Judgement day (mr Arnold) and holy judgement day theme.
Nope, the movie has a female protagonist
The seventh sign ? (This is a wild guess)
Good one but no...
The passion of christina?
;D
Another hint:
Think Grindhouse containing Nudity Galore & Lesbian Scenes ::)
And no, it's not
The descent from The Silent Hills has Eyes
The End of days of the Terminator 2 Legion with Monster Breasts
The Seventh Sign of The Passion of Christina

This is going way too fast for me! And why do we have to guess a movie from a frame with a car that is not even a unique car, it's just a bloody car!
Why don't we post more actresses with boobs? Or actresses from behind? Even 70's actresses in movies with bad picture quality?
I demand, as a regular user of this thread that we start posting mainstream stuff!
The fun here is not only to guess the movie but to remember good old movies, like GOG but with movies! Stuff like Blade Runner or Weird Science!!!
And my guess is: Leaving Las Vegas.
Will it help if I tell you it's scifi? Besides, I assumed mainstream was easier to guess.

Ah yes! "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains" is my guess.
Is lots of lasses standing around in their panties a feature of this film, or just a feature of this screenshot? Because I may or may not track down a copy based on the answer to this queston.
Congrats, Eric!
Sorry Stupot. It's more incidental than a feature.
If I'm right, they're more hot pants. It's part of the uniform of the titular punk band.

I don't think anyone had even heard of Weird Science before I posted it, I hadn't even heard of it. Not a very good movie either IMO.
That darn waiter is blocking my view!
Well, Weird Science is a...complete mystery to me! :=, but I like the way it has become something omnipresent on this thread.
My "raged" post was a joke but I do wish we could have more known female artists from the 70's around.
There's no shame in posting a "easy" film here, and I think it's fun to post famous artist on not so famous films they did.
Anyway, this thread is great and I love the people who spend time here, I do laugh out loud with some of the posts!
If only the waiter had a mini skirt...
I saw Weird Science a few times as a youngster.
And also used to watch the TV show. I can even remember the theme tune http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4lztp_weird-science-theme-tune_shortfilms
Quote from: Armageddon on Wed 11/04/2012 06:58:12That darn waiter is blocking my view!
On purpose! I still bumped forward a few frames so you could get a glimpse of one of the main characters over his shoulder. You've got a pretty good view of the second main character. And if I posted a picture of the third, the little character, it'd just give it away.
I'll post some pictures of some 1930s ladies for Miguel in a little while.
This will likely give the movie away, but here is a pretty lady in her nightgown for you, Miguel:

You're a top guy Eric! Thanks, I loved the cleav....Black & White films!
Welcome, Miguel! This actress actually has a semi-nude scene in a pre-code film.

A shot in the dark: Grand Hotel?
Not Grand Hotel, but that is a wonderful movie as well.
As a hint, the title of this movie is widely thought to refer to the lead male, when in actuality, it refers to the murder victim.
Oh, that's The Thin Man, then.
Indeed it is, and that's the lovely Myrna Loy and the witty William Powell in the shot above. The third castmember whom I neglected to feature was Asta, their dog.
Snarky's turn!

OK, a hint: It's a relatively recent movie, and I'm pretty sure it was Oscar nominated.
Hmm. I haven't seen it, but going by your clue and also the fact that the screenshot you gave is actually very similar to the theatrical poster (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/31/HP7part1poster.jpg) for the film, I'm going for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Mystic River? Just a guess cause the river.

That was a lucky, lucky guess. It's been awhile since I've seen that one (though I remember feeling it deserved the Best Picture that year).
Here's another from the adventure genre, an under-appreciated, little remembered film:

I can't see your pic yet, Eric, as I'm on my mobile and pics don't show, but I'll have a look later :-)
That looks a little like Tom Selleck, so I'm going to take a stab at either...High Road to China, or Lassiter?

Yeah, but with IMDB just a click away, it wouldn't be too hard to just "brute force" the answer.
Still, I will give one clue. Alien worm/lobster sex plays an important part in the plot. Boom!

Well that doesn't narrow it down at all! All films include lobster sex if you watch them the right way.
Seeing as I'm still online, I'll give another clue before I power down for the night. That's not a euphemism, by the way.
Clue:
Ridley Scott is British. Ridley Scott directed Alien. This film is British. This film has an alien in it. This film is not Alien. This film is not directed by Ridley Scott.
...
Go!
Aliens?
One of the Aliens. An Alien adult film? :-X
Is it: Alien: Resurrection?
I did some research and came up with these that kinda answer the one screenshot and your two clues.
There's a robot in it. Which explains the hand picture. There's also a "human/Alien hybrid clone"? I have no idea if it's British. It wasn't directed by Ridley Scott. It has an Alien in it. It also has "Alien worm/lobster sex" as it places eggs in the mouth of this guy:
(http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/108/1086795/alien-sex-attack-20100429070502371.jpg)
I may have seen this movie years ago, but I certainly don't remember it.
I'm gonna milk off the previous two answers. :P
Is it Alien 3? It's more outdoorsy and everyone in it is bald like the blue man group.
The key here is capitalization. "Alien" vs "alien". The title does not contain the word either way.
The film has an "alien" in it, not an "Alien".
...
See, this is why I hate clues...¬¬
The movie was released in 1981. It also has a pretty substantial Wikipedia entry, for an otherwise "B" kind of movie.
That wasn't so hard with that 1981 and British hints:
Inseminoid (1981)
Even found the YouTube video (http://youtu.be/vztl5-v7BSc) featuring the mysterious green goo and whatever the fleshy thing is.
Yay!
Now read the insanely detailed wikipedia entry (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Inseminoid)! Apparently, there has been much discussion on the symbolism and subtext contained in the movie. Which is news to me, as I always thought it was just about a space crustacean getting his end away. ???
Alright let's keep with the same style of old and odd movies.

Quote from: Iceboty V7000a on Mon 23/04/2012 02:15:01
Meet the Applegates?
lol Yup. That's the movie. I didn't want to post any scenes that would give away too much, like the praying mantis shots of the family.
I downloaded the movie just for posting these images and decided to watch it again. I can't believe how terrible it is compared to what I remember it being when I was like 7. Very corny. I also didn't remember that movies were as sexual back in 1990. For instance a quote from one of the guys "She needs her temperature taken with an all beef thermometer". Not that I have any issues with it, I just never would have expected the 90's movies to have more sexual innuendo/jokes than today's movies. I guess I was just too young to know what they were talking about. :=
Yeah. I remembered that it was terrible and I thought it was a funny (and family-friendly) one at first and I was trying to enjoy it until... well... those sexual stuff happened, followed by other horrible scary moments (as far as I remember whatever happened to that 'thing' seconds later was... awww).
Now, this:
(http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/gilbot/YellingKnights.jpg)
I'm not sure how obscure this is but I think it has not appeared in this thread yet. As I have mentioned I rarely watch movies so my knowledge on them is very limited. I only watched this on TV one day by chance. It seems to be a very high budget one, but the whole thing is horrible (hint: NOT Waterworld).

Why am I getting a Scary Movie vibe?
I'm impressed by your knowledge of Scary Movie actresses. But no, it's not from that franchise.
Ahh. So it's Regina Hall then, eh? I wasn't sure or not, I just had a Scary Movie vibe.
Is it Superhero Movie then?
No it isn't. I'm not sure whether going through Regina Hall's filmography is in-keeping with the spirit of the game ::) ;D

No it isn't. I'm not sure whether going through Regina Hall's filmography is in-keeping with the spirit of the game ::) ;D
Yeah I agree to an extent. That was my last guess by going through her IMDB information.
I was only basing it off the top picture which kind of looks like a dress coat with a missing hand, or perhaps the back of a chair. It looks like it's comedy based off of that, and of course me recognizing her from Scary Movie.
It isn't a comedy.
(http://waffleicious.co.uk/images/ags/movie3.png)
From that screenshot I would have to say it's definitely: Law Abiding Citizen (2009).
And looking in IMDB, she was actually in that movie, not that I remember her being in it.
Yes, you're right.
I knew that screenshot might be a bit too obvious but I figured it was only a matter of time before someone guessed it based on the actress anyway.
Here's the final screenshot I took, just for fun:
(http://waffleicious.co.uk/images/ags/lawabidingcitizen4.png)
I'm not sure if this movie has been done before.. Here it is:
(http://www.bryvis.com/entertainment/other/agsf/moviechallenge11.jpg)
The Road?
Nope, but it nearly feels like a movie like that. I believe you only see a total of two people other than the main character in the whole film (excluding him reliving memories).
Edit: This movie even features a beautiful dried up candy stuck to the floor mat of a car. Mmmm Tasty. (if you've seen the movie, it should be a good hint)
Could it be Wrecked?
That's the one! I knew my hint would give it away. ;)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/skeith2572/name-the-movie.jpg
edit: Ryan, I just searched for a movie that had a car crash in the woods, I saw a screen shot and noticed the interior of an older car and took a guess. :smiley:
Looks like Dieter Laser (the one in the middle, of course :D). The Human Centipede?
You are correct. I thought I was the only one to watch this sick movie and the 2nd one. Your turn.
I haven't seen it, to be true. I just saw pics of it, but since Dieter Laser seems to be on-screen all the time, I recognized him.

Don't bother, he is too busy calling me "turn steeler [sic]" to notice that Limpingfish got the answer three and half days ago and didn't post a screenshot since (wrong); maybe you can understand why I was inspired to post the screwdriver in the gut shot, which still stands.

There was a show about DIY failures, but this is not a shot from it.
At first I thought it looked like a prison, but then I noticed we've got the same floor in our kitchen at my mum's house.
Still, I think it's either a prison or a psychiatric ward, and she's giving herself an abortion due to being raped by one of the guards/nurses or something.

May or may not be blindingly obvious depending on how many times youve seen this film.
Wow, I seem to be on a roll with killing threads these days.
Here's a clue. It's a musical.
It is both obvious and unobvious to me. I recognize most of the people in the still from something, but can't put my finger on what.
Stab in the dark: is it Dirty Dancing?
Yep :-) Your Turn.

The Illusionist?
I figured that would be a quick one, and I was right. It is indeed the beautiful The Illusionist.
Next:

Nope :tongue:
A Dangerous Method (2011)
Nope
Here's another clue:

Weird Science? Blade Painting?
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)
Nope. I'll give you a hint. The title has already been mentioned on this page.
The Illusionist (2006). I really liked it and I thought it was much (much) better than The Prestige.
Hugo and the Night of the Dirty Dancing Dead?
The (other) Illusionist it is :-)
Aqala's turn.
Hugo and the Night of the Dirty Dancing Dead was next on my list.

Guess the Movie Title:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/ajqesi.png)
Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass Porno, Paper Man.
Hit Girl: The Puberty Years
That's "Super". A really weird movie and maybe even better than Kick-Ass, although it has it's problems as well.
Aw, was jsut about to say that when I realized it was Rainn Wilson.
Well lets continue the theme. Kind of weird shot, but still a lot of hints in it.
It's not animated btw, although I think it might kind of look like that in this scene.I caught this movie one evening, with nothing to do and I thought it was gonna be terrible, but I couldn't stop watching it.

May or may not be extremely obscure.
Brade Runner? (I feel ashamed of myself for making that joke). :-[
You should have felt ashamed the last 20 times you made that joke.
Ah, but the joke has taken on a new form! Slightly offensive humor :=
On that note I'm going to guess Symphony for Lady Vengeance, or Oldboy... Confessions? Something gory :D
Nope, but it was made in 1983, and it is a foreign film, a very good one. :)

Yes
Interesting - I didn't expect to guess. Just the character's haircut felt familiar somehow. But I can't remember that doggie at all.
It was a fairly odd and random scene in a fairly odd movie.
Sorry, closed my eyes and fallen asleep for a bit... for the last 6 days it seems. Here's your long-awaited new film photo riddle:
(http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4241/silh.png)
Nice choice! It's 'Adventures of Prince Achmed' by Lotte Reiniger, a wonderful silhouette-animated film from 1920s, right?
Have you seen Michel Ocelot's "Princes and princesses", by the way? I think it's the only other silhouette film that comes close to Achmed.
That's a Bingo!
And no, I haven't. But thanks very much for the recommendation! You can never have too much of stylish animated films.
Here's an easy one (I think)

I don't know why you dislike the question mark. We're basically guessing and awaiting confirmation.
This isn't Jeopardy.
This is getting really passive-aggressive.

(laugh) I can't help it if I have an "imposing" personality and anyway when
I stopped visiting this thread it degenerated into vileness.
I think I only posted out of turn once because clearly the person who guessed was not going to post and they didn't complain either, later on I gave up my turn so you can't whine about that anymore. If you want to 'ask' your answers do so and I will complain every time or do you want to impose your views on me?
My guess is Blade Runner. I'm almost certain that's correct so if it is and even if it's not, here's my submission:

The movie was well-known decades ago so had to search hard to find a pic that wasn't too easy but it probably was anyway. Must be a Flickr member to comment, tag, etc.
Oops, was answering a pic from page one. my bad. Entry still stands if anyone is interested.

Nope. Like I said, if it's not fun, I just won't play. By the way, the name of the thread is "Guess the movie title," not "Aggressively assert the movie title." Maybe you should start your own thread?
QuoteNo one is interested in...

So it was West Side Story.
As Eric correctly points out this thread is about guessing the movie title, so let us get back to that. I am having plenty of fun watching you fail to guess this softball of a movie, if you guys weren't busy imagining vampires and zombies where there are none and concentrating on the girl in the background instead of the big giveaway in the foreground you would have guessed this film 5 minutes after I posted the pic.

EDIT: Weird Science 1985
(Can't help it, she does look really HOT in your pic. Now she looks
like a Barbie doll somebody left baking in the sun for the last
20 years or so...)
Weird Science it is! Hooray! I was beginning to think I was experiencing some of the "trollings" I hear all the kids are doing today.
Oh, you kids and your crazy fads!
Take it away, Trampoline. (And try to think of Kelly LeBrock as she was, not as she is now :cry: )
wow I should have known that.
All right, hopefully to crank up the difficulty somewhat:
The genre is not Sci-Fi, it's not one of David O. Selznick's babies, "Dr. Uwe Boll" wasn't
sitting in the director's chair (Phew!), and it ain't got Steven Seagal in it! :kiss:
(Thus, aside from the sci-fi stuff, that alone makes it a good film!)
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6181/vietnamdisney2010.png)

Hah, nice shot. Escape From LA?
Noouh...
(As a hint, it wasn't even filmed in LA.)
Escape from New York?
Good guess! No, wait. What's the word I'm looking for? ... bad. Bad guess.
In my defense, Escape from New York "wasn't even filmed in LA." So I was a lot closer than Armageddon. :wink:
Maybe this was filmed in San Francisco? I could be a lot closer. Snarky you gotta tell us.
Love and a .45?
Nope, Kweepa.
Without studying the question on a map, I'd think NY would be a closer guess, geographically, than SF.

Armageddon?
Army, correct!
Not Blade Runner! It's Blade Runner: Final Cut. The difference is noticeable in the number of lights reflected by the eye.
2001?

So it wasn't 2001? Is it 2001 now?
No, but close.
2010?
pi?
2010 almost did it.
M...M... Moon?
Yes, your turn. :)

TentaclesJaws? :=
nein
Alright this is rather a blind shot (to be honest I had to google the title, 'cause I forgot it):
Blast (1997).
nope sorry, besides... red swimsuits in Blast :D
The Graduate?
...although they probably had more than just women in black swimsuits in The Graduate...
No sorry... I think a second clue is coming soon...
Blade Swimmer?
y......no
Is it final destination 3d or something like that? I think it had such a scene.
no it is not "final destination 3d or something like that"...
Pirhana?
Piranha?
Rhianna?
Banana? How ever you spell it, the one with the fishies?
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.
ok next clue... but seriously the next reply should be the right answer...

I can't believe after all those weird movies you guys keep guessing you can't guess this one...
Post more healthy-hipped women frolicking in the water and maybe we'll guess it. 8-)

Kweepa and Snarky have seen all the movies.

I have no idea what this movie is. But the more screenshots you post, the less I want to see it.
1) Lots of ladies in swimwear ;-D
2) Goth chick with too much makeup :-\
3) Oh my God, what the hell is that?! 8-0
I hope someone guesses this movie before AnasAbdin has to post the "babies being fed into the wood chipper" shot that is no doubt next in line. (wrong)

teh movie was made in 1990
seriously... the movie's name is in the second AND third clues...
Something about hands?
Hand Runner?
Something Mirror?
Reflection...?
for the sake of the this thread... I'll consider Snarky's answer right.
It's Mirror Mirror.

Mirror Mirror 1990 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100156/) sorry no Julia...
Yeah, sorry for trolling the thread. I'll issue myself a warning.
New image, new film:
(http://s10.postimage.org/lpspg1nrt/vlcsnap_2012_07_19_21h38m13s21.jpg)
You have no idea how much I wish I knew what movie that is. Stab in the dark here. Witness?
Picnic At Hanging Rock?
You got it, Kastchey.
what about a film with an IMDB rating above 8? If you are feeling really good... above 9 and scifi.
Next clue:
(http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/Kastchey/bnh8787k.png)
I unfortunately don't own this on DVD, so I can't provide a high quality snapshot.
It's not War Games, is it?
Back to the Future?
It's not War Games, but the guy does hack into something, in a way. It's not Back to the Future, either.
"The Booth".
Well, certainly it is one. This way or another. :)
This is a telephone booth, yes :) It's not The Booth.
Source Code?
Three Days of the Condor?
That looks like a jacket Redford would wear in the 70s.
None of the above and not Redford, but this is a good spot, Kweepa. It's an early 80s movie.
And, because I'm not sure if my hint wasn't somewhat misleading, this movie is not about hackers.
Superman 3?
(Not sure whether you'd say it's about a hacker or not.)
It's not Superman, and by "not about hackers" I meant that there are no people breaking into a computer system or network.
I'll post another clue in a few hours if it's still needed by then.
Falcon and the Snowman?
It's not Falcon and the Snowman. Here's the next screenshot:
(http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/Kastchey/cgf4317.png)

I think so too, great film :grin: You bet me to it, but I was just surprised to see a film in here I actually think I recognise. I didn't recognise the other screenshot though..
Yes, it's Firestarter, the first screenshot was from the airport scene. And I agree, it was a great movie.
Your turn, AnasAbdin.
I'll give my turn to the first one reads this between Ponch, Kweepa and Armageddon...
go!
Is it Favouritism Runner?
Is it Weird Stupot+? :cheesy:
Stupot is next!
Haha, well if you insist :D
Nice easy one.

Cool World? The movie that inspired all Ponch games?
Quote from: Armageddon on Sun 22/07/2012 00:46:28
The movie that inspired all Ponch games?
Very, very close. But it's not Cool World. This movie (and a few others by the same guy) did inform my art style and my love of silly, sexy stories. :=
Is it "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat"
Is it "Coonskin"?
I guessed the wrong Bakshi movie, it's Heavy Traffic, isn't it?

Damn, Snarky. This is a tough one.
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore?
I can't mistake a film with J. T. Walsh (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000687/) (R.I.P) in it.
The Last Seduction
Oh yeah. (Notice the home-made spike strip Linda Fiorentino has tucked into her apron and is about to place under the hapless stakeout guy's tyre.)
I can't believe J.T. Walsh died back in 1998! I feel like I've seen him in so many great roles... in not-always-great movies (though this one is!)

I agree, I watched Dark Skies
only because he was in it.
easy:
(http://i.imgur.com/nJe5d.jpg)
up? :)
Pretty sure I know it, but I'll sit this one out.
Grim Fandango?
Can't be bothered to count them all but... Ninety-Nine Luft Balloons?
No no and nO
You know, I thought it was Le Ballon Rouge (http://youtu.be/OZ_iM1At7UA), but I just watched it and it doesn't seem to match the screencap (wrong aspect ratio, for starters; also, no skyscrapers). So I guess I don't know it after all.
clue two
(http://i.imgur.com/AONGr.jpg)
He's using memory puddy to steal the M&Ms secret formula? Mmm...
Hmmm. A lot of cigarette butts. An apple core. A razor. A drawer full of pills and other drugs. And a hand searching for something that isn't there...
Is it Ben Chandler: Paranormal Investigator: In Search Of The Sweets Tin II: Minge Patterson's Revenge: The Movie?
Ponch almost got it!
the movie is from 1996...

Using Arma's clues, I shall narrow it down, and say it is Independence day!
(that is definitely a spaceship in the drawer).
sorry all wrong...
but I checked the list and found it DAH
Could it be Romeo and Juliet, perchance?
That building behind the balloons looks like it could be in Luhrmann's Verona.
I don't actually remember these scenes though :/
Is it Mars Attacks?
nope sorry

Space Jam? All the drugs on display might explain why the movie was ever made. :=

third clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/eYenP.jpg)
That image strikes a chord, but for the life of me I can't place it. :-[
Zodiac? Saw?
Unforgettable?
It would be ironic given Ponch's feeling...
I'm pretty certain it's: Eye for an Eye
The last time I watched this was probably around when it was released to VHS. All I remember of these screenshots is the man beating himself with the drumsticks. I believe this was either before or after he raped and murdered a girl that was preparing for a birthday party. That's all I honestly remembered from the whole movie. lol
Ryan Timothy correct!
your turn
Slight delay on my part.
(http://www.bryvis.com/entertainment/other/agsf/moviechallenge12.jpg)
Chronicle?
I was just about to say that. :(
That's the one. I tried not to post a screenshot that wasn't too recognizable. But the next one was going to be them flying superman style through the air. Great movie.
In that case:
(http://i.imgur.com/N49C3.jpg)
Perfume?
Nope
My thought process, in case this helps anyone:
1. This looks like an early silent film, but I don't think it is. We have few panoramic options to choose from, even fewer that still exist in a wide format, and I don't think this is from either Old Ironsides or Abel Gance's Napoleon.
2. So this might be from a film designed to look like a silent film, but filmed post-whenever the wider aspect ratios came along (early 50s, I think). Or, it might be a flashback.
3. Or, this might be a Karel Zeman film. It has that look to it too, but I can't find one that matches up with the subject matter.
No matter the case, I want to see whatever this is. That looks a bit like Stephen Lang in the center.
Nosferatu?
My guess is Joe Versus The Volcano.
Quote from: Eric on Mon 30/07/2012 03:17:38
My guess is Joe Versus The Volcano.
Oh that's a good movie there.
It was neither of these movies. Joe vs the Volcano had some b&w scene?
I'm not sure. I just remembered it had a very bleak and stylized sequence at the factory at the beginning of the film. This sequence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytS4yFM4Oxw), in fact, if I'd bothered to check before guessing.
Metropolis?
Nope. I guess I'll be posting another screencap soon...
Looks like Dead Man to me. Even the terrible transfer matches what I remember from my DVD.
I don't think it was anamorphic though, so I might be wrong.
Not Dead Man either. Here is another screencap:
(http://i.imgur.com/whYqw.jpg)
I've probably made it immensely easier now...
The Elephant Man, maybe?
I knew I made it too easy :(
Not really, it was still a stab in the dark, despite the fact that I've seen this film several times. :)
Now, here's a new one, shouldn't be hard:
(http://i.imgur.com/pbFMf.png)
Joe versus the giant boxer standing right outside his window?
Rocky?
I can't believe I guessed Joe V. The Volcano for a film that was actually Elephant Man.
Quote from: Ponch on Mon 30/07/2012 19:31:17

(laugh)
Bruce Lee? Well, one of his movies. Dunno which one. But haircut looks familiar :)
Alright, let's guess.
Way of the Dragon.

Heh...I was a bit perturbed by your very detailed initial analysis ;D
As for the current one...it does kinda look like one of the many "young-kid learns karate" life-lesson movies of the 80s, but Ilych could be doing that to trick us. No Retreat No Surrender?
Haircut of the Dragon?
Quote from: Babar on Mon 30/07/2012 21:11:52
...but Ilych could be doing that to trick us.
That's the only correct guess so far. ;) This movie features very little martial arts. :)
I'm stumped. Can we get another screenshot? Or am I going to have to start guessing Blade Runner again? :wink:
Survive Style 5+?
Anything to prevent Ponch from making any more Blade Runner puns! ;D
Here's another screen - less confusing and more title-related. :)

Use golf club to put a ball into deaf girl's food and bring her attention.

One of his inventory items is the title of the movie (at least the english title), I'll tell you that much. :)
It should be pretty obvious for anyone who've seen the movie by now, and I'm sure there are people on these forums who did, come on! It's a great film!

Leather Vest Golfer, Girl Watcher? (It's like the hipster version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy := )
I don't want to hold the thread, but I'm not sure what other hints I can give - there are no well known actors here and the last screen has both of the main characters. It's a film by one of the most well-known Korean directors who are not Chan-Wook Park, it features golf clubs and is not particularly violent. :)

Golf Club?
Ye-e-es, but can you be a little more specific about the type of the golf club? ;D
Driver?
Not at all, but bonus points for a clever guess. :)
It's not even a wood club. This is getting disturbingly golf-themed, isn't it? ;D
OK, since evidently no one has seen the movie in question, I've googled my way to an answer: 3-Iron.
This one might not be immediately obvious, but in that case I'll add some more identifiable screens:
(http://i.imgur.com/xe4Mt.jpg)
The Core.
Brick?
It is in fact Brick, yes.
Fantastic! You've inspired me to re-watch that one tonight. Been thinking a lot of that film lately, working on a P.I. project and having recently seen Dark Knight Rises.
Let some of that previous sentence provide a hint for this screenie:

I only read the book. Did they move the plot into the 70s in the movie?
Yes they did. It works strangely well.
Ilyich got it. Each Whit Stillman movie is a treasure; if you have a chance to see Damsels in Distress you should definitely go for it.

if you insist...
(http://i.imgur.com/1iHGB.jpg)
Blade Chunder?
Salo?
Nope-dermia...
Hey, weird question if the answer isn't yes, but does this movie end with a son eviscerating himself and cutting off his head and arm in order to make himself into art? I can't remember / figure out the title. If I'm right, the obese man is a former competitive eater whose mother may have been a pig. Like I said, weird question if the answer is no, but I think I saw this awhile back and Googling "movie 'competitive eater' man cuts off arm and head makes himself into statue" isn't giving me any answers.
If I'm on the wrong track, and anyone happens to know the name of this movie, shoot me a private message. As weird and depressing as it sounds, the film I'm talking about was wonderfully visual and imaginative and I'd like to track it down again.
Eric, you are 100% right...
I'll pm you the title because I know how bad it feel when trying to remember a good movie!
Taxidermia (2006)
I can verify, since I'm here first, that that is the title that AnasAbdin passed along today, indeed.
Then its your turn.
Nope! It's yours. I didn't guess the movie title, only the movie!

Matt Helm?
Quote from: Ponch on Thu 16/08/2012 03:36:58
Matt Helm?
The "Matt Helm" movie is still in development (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399050/), so no. The screenshot is of a movie, the lead actress is right in the middle of the shot and the lead actor should be recognizable from his profile.
They're remaking Matt Helm? I didn't know that! :cheesy: I was talking about the old Dean Martin movies from the swingin' 60s, baby! :cool:
I think Ponch meant one of the 60s Helms films -- The Silencers, Murderer's Row, The Wrecking Crew, The Ambushers. They were light comedies. The new Helm film will hopefully draw more from the Hamilton source material, which was dark and brilliant.
I'm guessing it's probably not, but is this Banco à Bangkok pour OSS 117?

I know about the Dean Martin movies, but as you show none were called
Matt Helm, only the tv show had that title. There isn't a "Our Man Flynn" movie either!
Your guess is wrong, look at the picture: who are those two in the middle? Very known actors, one of them was in a box office number one this summer.
Our Man Flint?
Quote from: Ponch on Thu 16/08/2012 16:45:49
Our Man Flint?
NO! You misunderstood my comment and ignored the big hint. Here is another hint: the movie came out the same year as
Our Man Flint.
Michael Caine's telltale curls get lost in the banner behind him, and this profile makes him look more like Richard Dreyfuss, but this is probably Gambit, huh?

No, but it has a similar story.
Allmovie.com says that The Jacket is similar to The Machinist* (I don't see it, myself), and I guess that could be Adrian Brody, so... ?
* It also lists the movie's themes as: Haunted By the Past, Mind Games, Prostitutes. Umm, fair enough, I guess.

* It also lists the movie's themes as: Haunted By the Past, Mind Games, Prostitutes. Umm, fair enough, I guess.
Not
The Jacket, that movie is similar in tone and style to
The Machinist, this movie is only similar in its story.

Easy there, ig299. We haven't guessed the last movie yet. Two movie clues at once is too much for the average AGSers fragile brain. :wink:
That's ok take your time.
Well, unless someone else used the footage, I'm pretty sure that's Sam Neill in the underrated Omen III, but now that we have an unofficial branch, I'm not sure what to do. Ball's still in Aqala's court, I believe.
And you are right it is omen 3.

I don't know, Aqala. A movie that is like The Machinist plot-wise, but not in tone? So it's something like the story of a guy with chronic insomnia who becomes sickeningly emaciated and starts having hallucinations and making dangerous mistakes at his job, but... upbeat? As a comedy?
All right, just to have another guess: Vanilla Sky?
Or wait, maybe The Number 23? I think I heard that has a slightly similar paranoia plot.

If you want a hint all you have to do is ask: The story of this film is "pregnant woman loses her child in a hit and run accident. finds an unlikely protector who is not quite the angel he seems" and if you just take a good look at the hair (and the unusually wide door) you should recognize the actor.

Young Sherlock Holmes?
Batman in egypt!
The Mask With The Stash
Decapitation of the Cocaine Cat?
No. No. No.
And not even Cat Mask Runner.
Actually that looks more like a wolf to me than a cat, and it's possibly related to Japanese culture (westerners may be more familiar with the Okami series of games).
I have no idea what film this is though.
The Mask (Japanese Cocaine Edition)?

No, but starting from Iceboty V7000 you are on the right track. :)

that is not cocaine

I think posting a second shot defeats the points of guessing the movie from a certain screen shot. Many well known films were very difficult to guess, while almost unknown films were very easy to guess. I thought the hint that I have given was more than enough:
(Edited by moderator to remove hint)
Well, I thought that maybe someone saw that movie, but could not remember it from the first screenshot I posted. Some people did same thing in this thread before (posted more screenshots after some time).
If no one saw this movie, it does not make much sense though.
Aqala, it's up to CW which hints to offer, and as he says, lots of others have offered hints in the form of additional screen caps. Personally I prefer that to cryptic clues, but people can do whatever they like when it's their turn.
G.I. Samurai?

“Some people say I am mad with power, but I just have them killed.†--Brooke Alvarez
I just went through a samurai/chanbara movie phase, but instead of revisiting the Kurosawas, I tried to watch the films by other directors I hadn't seen. The original 13 Assassins and The Great Duel, Sword of Doom, Samurai Rebellion, Ballad of the Paper Balloons, etc.
Here's a new one:
(http://i.imgur.com/DzdRX.jpg)
Hell Comes To Mayberry?
Floyd the barber has an awesome death scene, if I recall correctly. :=
This movie featured a variety of beloved television stars, but none of them are Don Knotts or Andy Griffith, nor indeed Howard "Floyd the Barber" McNear.
Are you suggesting that Hell Comes To Mayberry only exists in my fevered subconscious mind? Preposterous! Why would I conjure up the image of Opie ratting out his dad to the vile Earnest T. Bass and his inbred goons for a baggie of Blue Meth? Or the vicious shotgun disembowelment of Warren*? Surely I didn't imagine Dominatrix Aunt Bea? Or Goober in a gimp suit? Good lord, no! Why would I!
Take it back, Eric! Take it back right this instant! :=
*no one can replace Barney!
This must be THAT only movie that features people falling from the sky hitting on unaware dogs. Those guys from the CIA covered up as barbers sure did trick me!
So, yes, it's "Samurai Dog Lover - part 1"!
Here's another pic, since we seem to be stuck:

Nope.
Hell Comes To Furbytown?
Very close!! (actually, no.. not at all)
dunno lol
I had believed the stripes on his coat combined with the tie would give this away quite easily. This is actually a man, not really a furby creature, he just appears not to be human in this one quick and hilarious scene.
I'll post another hint tomorrow if no one gets it.
Image Hint #2:

Is that the new 21 Jump Street?
Yep! It was freakin hilarious.

This one should be pretty easy, but it's a good movie and I know there's one person here that will get it in like 5 minutes.
Chernobyl Diaries.
Frankly did not watch full movie, basing my guess mostly on the sovietish landscape (and what seems to be nuclear plant) :).
you got it!
I just love this shot. So, guess the movie title.

Crimson: If I'm right, that's one of my all-time favorite movies, but I just had a turn, and won't be around to play over the next few days. But I wanted to say -- great choice of film, and great choice of shot. Hard to imagine the lead actor as he was then when you look at him now.

Yes I cheated. :) And since I did I have come to the conclusion that this is a very obscure foreign movie.
It's hard for me to tell how much popular the movie is (was), but the lead role was played by the very well known actor (known quite well today).
Also, check last Eric's post, it contains some kind of hint.
Based on that hint alone (I take it "Hard to imagine the lead actor as he was then when you look at him now." was the hint), I'm going to guess at a film I've never seen and never intend to see - Home Alone?
Quote
Home Alone
Haha, no :).
In fact the movie is
quite different from the Home Alone, in many sense.

Hm, based on the hint and that the movie seems to be black & white: Rumble Fish?

Oh, and movie is NOT black & white... perhaps an choice of lights and shadows for that scene causes this confusion?

Just looked that up on Wikipedia. Funny thing, that from Eric's hint I thought of a Mickey Rourke movie, too.
Four Lions?
Angel Heart is an amazing movie. Would make a great adventure game too -- I've not played Gabriel Knight, but there might be some similarities there. Hope you didn't read too much and spoil it for yourself, cat.
Quote from: Armageddon on Fri 09/11/2012 17:45:48

It could well be one of those three... :)
The Men Who Stare At Goats?
No, but a goat does have a minor role.

Blade Runner...
Blade Runner?
I'll give this one to Ponch, or Stupot, whichever. It's the alternate theatrical ending where they go into the wild and live. Pretty crappy IMO.
Stupot+ wins it. He posted before me.
Take it away, Stu. :smiley:
So at least I wasn’t far off, then ;D I guess with the VHS look of the pic and the overabundance of Blade Runner in this topic, I should have seen that one coming :P

Ok, a hint: this character has no relation to pirates, at least not in usual sense.
I don't know whether it's the quality of the image or whatever, but it seems to me that his mouth is cut open across the horizontal direction (ewww maybe it's JOKER*), or maybe that's make-ups to mimic a robot?

Yeah Ponch, I agree with Iceboty, "Blade Runner" will only work again if this thread is high-jacked by serious people.
Batman sounds fine to me, but still:
Weird Science?
Mononostril Runner
Cyrano de Bergerac - The Lost Years?
6 Months Stuffed in Coke was the official title in Belgium.
My guess is Lisztomania.
Well, gang, I tried.
Okay, no interest here? Should I tell the answer?
No idea but it must be an obscure movie from ages ago ;)

Noooh! Don't deprive us of the opportunity to come up with twisted & nonexistent movie titles! :tongue:
Some more hints or another screenshot would be nice though! Darn difficult that one!
edit: "Innsmouth incision nightmare and the hunt for the Golden Fleece"!?
I must confess that it would be pretty difficult to find another screenshot that would give any insight on what it is (at least not as good as this one). Well, maybe I'll try a bit later.
So, two hints:
Spoiler
Iceboty V7000a was right, his mouth is cut, and that's a pretty good direction
Spoiler
Although an old and obscure movie, it has a certain connection to pretty well-known musical of the recent past
Les Miserables?
Quote from: Armageddon on Mon 18/03/2013 20:43:38
Les Miserables?
That's a name of the musical. But not the title of the movie I guessed :).
Oh, well, you might be very close now. Question is, will you go in correct direction?
Sweeney Todd? Weird Shaver? Blade Barber?
The Story of Adele H.
Quote from: Eric on Tue 19/03/2013 02:15:01
The Story of Adele H.
No.
But, you kind of got the idea of what I meant.
Quote from: Ponch
Sweeney Todd
No. :)
Well. I just blind searched with the hints and came with the following. I'm not sure whether this is what we're after. You shouldn't read the spoilers if you still want to guess anyway.
Spoiler
Could it be either one of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Laughs_(film))?
Even this may be correct please don't consider I have really guessed in this round, as I mentioned I just blind searched and have never watched any of these and I didn't even know this book before.
Edit:
Further research showed that the Joker was indeed inspired by a certain film adaption of this book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(comics)#Creation) (there's even a comic issue with this very same name), so yeah:
BATMAN
Iceboty, you are correct.
Since the movie is very obscure, I did not expect year of release and similar detail, just the title.
Don't know if there's any reason to hide this, but okay, let's put this in a spoiler:
Spoiler
This is "L'homme qui rit (1971 TV film)". Can't say the movie is exceptional, but the character makeup and play are pretty disturbing, if not frightening (at first), that's why I liked it.
Iceboty V7000a, if you like, you may take your turn now.
Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Tue 19/03/2013 09:25:54
Iceboty V7000a, if you like, you may take your turn now.
Well. I'd rather not, as I mentioned before I rarely watch films and thus it's hard for me to find something for you guys to guess.
So, I think we can move on now and whoever comes first and has an idea could take the next round.

Land Of The Sausages?

Dick Tracy.
Flash Gordon.
The Big Lebowsky?
The Elephant Man.
I never knew The Man Who Laughs was by Hugo, otherwise that would have been easy to guess with that obvious Glasgow Grin! Or that there was a TV movie version. The original with Conrad Veidt inspired the creation of the Joker in the Batman comics:

Haha;) The Nigth would be pretty close, chronologically. But...Blade Runner is even closer;)
Believe me Miguel, this movie is funnier than Ursula Andress meets Tippi Hedren to talk about her close encounters of fourth kind ;)
When I was in London last year, I was positively surprised to find out that this director's films are really popular with English audience. When I'm talkin about popular, I mean TOP 5 at Waterstone's.

Look at how many good actors (from US or anywhere in the world) play in crappy movies all of their life, without a shadow of a chance to be called 'Kaurismaki's actors' or 'Jarmusch's actors' :) And unless some mad alien cineastes from Proxima Centauri invade eath, nobody will be remaking any Kaurismaki anytime soon, so those movies with Pellonpää will be watched for years to come and new generations will keep on discovering them. They're ageless.
Besides, we still have Kati Outinen :) And fortunately, Kaurismaki, who's alive and kicking, shooting & rolling. He has only a (very) small cult following in Poland so I was literally stunned to see his Le Havre (great movie BTW) being #2 at Waterstone's. Well, it could be some 'art films' (LOL) ranking... honestly - I have no idea how it was possible for this kind of movies to occupy #2 spot at a major retail chain store. But still, gotta give some respect to the Londoners :)
Say, does your movie has anything in common with Italian cuisine?

I still don't know what a Waterstone's is, but Le Havre was a beautiful movie. Overlooked. Deserved to be Oscar shortlisted for sure.

Waterstone's is a major book retailer. I guess it's the British equivalent of Barnes & Noble. They sell books, movies and music and have stalls with their current bestsellers on display.

Damn, this is very unsportsmanship of me. I should let others take a guess :(
My only excuse is that I love western Italian cuisine (chef Leone being my favourite :) )
Is this the famous spaghetti dish called Il ritorno di Gringo (by chef Tessari)
Indeed it is! I know it it best as Return of Ringo, one of the few sequels that I think is better than the original.
Gotta rewatch some of those Italian gems...
And now for something completely different. Have a big blue cup of whateverkeepsyourenginerunning, everyone! :)

Well, it's hard to do, but I'll keep mum on this one and let someone else have a turn. But it seems we have similar taste in 60s genre films as well. You, me, and Tarantino.
'Humility Conflagration' :tongue: (shouldn't count, no 'proper' guess.)
edit: Aah, what the heck. It's a shot of Dirk Bogarde from groovy campy 'Modesty Blaise'.
Precisely :) Turn to pick your shot, Trampoline!
Sweet. Here we go:
This movie is one hell of a ride! Watch it if you get the chance.
One exceptional example of a subdued plot achieving greatness in it's wake.
[imgzoom]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2644/wheetwistedadonkeyflash.png[/imgzoom]
Sorry for the low quality of the shot. Will post another one if that one is too obscure.
Men Who Flash at Ponies (or donkeys, if that's what they are).
No country for old men?
Nope. Neither kinky donkey porn, nor that truely awesome film by the Coen brothers.
Though both of them share certain similarities in their depiction and use of landscapes.
edit: ...by the way, Stu. Did you check the image's properties? My thoughts exactly, when I took that screen-shot! :tongue:
My Little Pony?
That dirty gun-flashing sheriff looks a bit McQueenish.
A hell of a ride, you say? 'Donkey and the Sheriff Bandit' (1977)?
Nah, but couple that with "Days of Donkey" (1990) (...you know, the one starring that cheesy grinning, scientopathological sideshow freak :wink:)
...to be fair, you're kind of on the right track, Kasander. :smiley:
This can't be Donkeyheart with Val Donkeylmer (1992), can it?
A great donkeythrilling movie. But alas, no...
Though, the timeframe of Thunderheart's setting is very, very close to the release date of the movie in question.
I was always a little disappointed with Modesty Blaise, especially compared to the high quality of the comic strip. I like Dirk Bogarde though. His best 60s spy film is "Hot Enough For June?" (I'm biased in favor of any movie starring Sylva Koscina though).
My guess: Junior Bonner?
Getting even closer in terms of timeframe.
Even though it's hilarious :cheesy:, don't get too hung up on the whole horsy business AND
that guy in the pic is NOT the protagonist. (You'd probably know him - too easy :tongue:).
edit: ..also, to say that this movie has groove, is an understatement. This movie IS groove,
visually, musically & the feeling it evokes, while watching.

Yeah, I guess the strip deserves better. But I gotta admit I treasure all its innocennce, the campiness, Bogarde (liked him a lot in Visconti's films;)) and I'm very sentimental about Monica Vitti (not to mention her unbelievable anti-English accent) :D Such an iconic British heroine played by Italian actress. Can't imagine this happening now. Crazy times, the sixties, wonderful times. Especially for the culture:)
I haven't seen this new Modesty movie from 2003 but well... the trailer was enough for me.
Gotta bookmark that Bogarde movie you suggest.
Hmmm... Speaking of Monica Vitti films and directors...
Could this be some obscure shot from Zabriskie Donk by Michelangelo Donkeyoni?
That new Modesty film is bad, really bad.
Sugarland Express?
Now, that's a line of thought that's definitely worth pursuing!
Up to a certain extend very much in spirit of Sugarland E., but lesser known and lesser pretentious! (...and simply better. :tongue:)
The protagonist has a very common Polish (last) name and, apart from one or two exceptions, is always addressed by this last name.
Haulin' Ass: The Real Life Stories of Donkey Smuggling?
Not Badlands, then. That was my next guess. Hm....
Australian Threesome?

If anyone would've told me a few years ago, that one day I'd be spellbound by a movie about a

Took me a while to find it :) This may be slightly more difficult... Or not. Let's see.

Well, it does look like the love child of "Clockwork Orange" and "Stalker"... :tongue:
Is it perhaps of Indian origin?
You're close, Trampoline:) And I know you know who the father is.
EDIT - Oh, and it's not Indian.
Portuguese Kamasutra - The Solo Moves
Well, the protagonist of this movie is certainly 'imagining things'. And these 'things' (curvaceous, blonde things) are doing things to him.

I'm a sucker when it comes to road movies. Still, 'Vanishing Point' is something else. The plot is so simple, but it's so much
more than the sum of it's parts.
Best of all, the whole film feels as if it isn't 'trying too hard'.
And in this 'not trying very hard'-attitude it succeeds where other movies feel the need to stuff endless tirades of "elaborate symbolic intricacies"
into the viewer, all the while stifling their own 'flow'.
Vanishing Point, on the other hand is, first and foremost, flow. A fecking awesome movie to just sit back and watch. It's almost a sublimation
of a road movie. Meaning comes easy, subtle and seemingly effortless.
/*sorry for rambling... :cheesy:
Quote from: Kasander on Thu 21/03/2013 22:39:40

Yes, I seem to know the movie and who it's father is.
The movie's title sounds similar to some non-medical physical culture invention of the late 70s.
(Sigfried & Roy e.g. seem to have excessively overused that particular gadget! :tongue:)
When I think of Vanishing Point, I most of all remember listening to this song a lot back in the 90s, before seeing the movie:
[embed=560,315]<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0xBzYsE4y1k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/embed]
Hmmm... not sure it really holds up.
As for the current challenge, the second screenshot looks like it might be Solaris, but I don't remember any "curvaceous, blonde things" in the movie (Kris's wife is auburn).
Still have that album Snarky. Pretty good stuff.
I'm holding the CD book right now and yeah, there's a lot of references to the movie.
Music 3 (Kowalsky, the one with the whispering words "Vanishing Point") contains dialogue from the movie as well.
Having the bassist from Stone Roses with them back then really helped making a great album in my opinion.
Well, Trampoline guessed it first, when he said the title sounds similar to S&R's favourite addiction. So Trampoline, either its your turn now, or, if you wish so, you can lay this burden on Snarky's shoulders.
(http://i.imgur.com/VjJzvgd.jpg)
And you're perfectly right Snarky. Both times - Kelvin's wife IS auburn. I don't know why I've said she's blonde, it's been a while since I saw Solaris I guess. Sorry for the misleading :)
I didn't actually spell it out - definitely Snarky's turn.
Besides, a well-known Cat & Mouse just ganged up on me in the Awards thread :tongue: and now I have to
go pixel-pushing me some fancy tux to be eligible for tonights ceremony! :wink:
Then it's decided -> Snarky's turn!
Oh yeah, THE AWARDS... wish I could be home tonight to witness all the tension & drama :) Hopefully this will get recorded somehow.

When I saw this pic I was immediately reminded of the Discworld book "Interesting Times". Don't think they ever made a movie of that, though.
The Painted Veil?
Good Morning Vietnam?
Ah cool I only had a vague idea it looked right for that film! :-D
Okay, here's one... late 60s cheesy sci-fi starring a young man who would become very famous, though not really for the sort of role he had here. (The guy in the picture isn't him.)

Meet the Feebles?
the gods must be crazy?
Nope and nope!
I'll post another screen when I get home tonight, but here's a convoluted hint in the meantime: It always bothered me that this movie wasn't directed by another director who made popular films for the studio that produced this one, if only because he has pretty much the same name as the author whose book this film is taken from.
That's the Swiss Family Robinson... with the annoying kid who's like a young Boris Johnson and has a tiger.
Indeed! Haggis has it right. Why would Disney not get Robert Stevenson, director of Old Yeller, Darby O'Gill, Mary Poppins, The Absent-Minded Professor, The Love Bug, and tons more, to direct Swiss Family Robinson based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson?
The only thing that boggles my mind more is Sam Shephard playing Chuck Yager, Scott Glenn playing Alan Shepherd, and Ed Harris playing John Glenn in The Right Stuff.
Ok, this may be easy for some... one of my favourite films growing up.

Ah, indeed. That different kind of western "summit thing", having C.D. Buchinsky in it.
The very same... go on... bring it home.
To be honest, I'd rather let someone else guess that title. Got a slight hangover from yesterday. :cool:
But I quite like it, especially that they took a genre and went the other way with it.
Totally agree with you, I can't remember if I read the original book when I was younger but I think I'll dig it out and revisit it.

It is indeed "The Man Who Would Be King" (1975), the adventures and misadventures of Daniel Dravot & Peachey Carnehan.
An adaptation of a Rudyard Kippling novella and directed by John Huston.
Your turn, Baron.
@Ponch: It is also 'Stargate' - but only AFTER it is 'The Man Who Would Be King' :tongue:.
Stargate took place in the desert. That is clearly a desert in your picture. I stand by my answer, sir. :cool:
I thought about these people on abydos in stargate too, but I've seen the movie way too often to know it's not from the film so I didn't post at all. Besides this post now. So this post is kind of invalid. But I'll click the post button anyways :)

Uhoh, then I did you a grave injustice, Ponch.
I thought your 'Stargate' guess was a 'Blade Runner!' guess. :shocked:
I totally knew where you were coming from though:
'The Man Who Would Be King' ends, desert still there, 300 years or so pass, there you go = Stargate! (<- That sequence

Aww, man, I think I know/love this one, but no way I'm making Ponch happy taking this turn! Also, isn't it pretty obscure and not actually that easy, apart from being a quite obvious shot for those who've seen it? :)
Mmmm... it was a pretty high-profile release in Norway, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me too much if it passed most of the world by. I bet in the UK The Daily Mail would have called it child porn.
I don't think it's that obscure for those who appreciate animation, of which I'd guess there are many on this board. Not available on Netflix, Ponch, but there's an English version available in chunks on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxnZAMGndk&list=PL5102826BACDDE8D0).
Well, clearly, it was easy enough. :) I was basing my assumption on the fact that it was rated by less people on IMDb than "Henry Fool", and they have been released almost in the same year, but I guess it's different for animated films. :) And speaking of iMDB, it tells me there was a new Kirikou film released in late 2012. Did anyone get a chance to see it yet or is it french festivals only so far?
There have been at least two sequels. I haven't seen the newest one, but I liked Kirikou and the Wild Beast. It was hard as hell to track down a copy, though.

Here's another hint: The director of this movie is best known for his westerns, and also for his movies that are pretty much westerns, but set in other times/places. If you guys don't guess it by then, I will give you another hint about this director's other well-known movie in two days.

I'm pretty sure it was me that guessed it last time. It's one of my favorite movies and one of the greatest soundtracks ever recorded. But I just had a turn... :cry:
Then guess it and take another turn!
Yeah, the name of the game is "Guess the movie title" and not "Make obscure innuendos but refuse to say the name".
Streets Of Fire.
It is NOT Streets of F...oh wait, yes it is! Your turn, dancing cow!
A personal favorite of mine...

Dancer in the dark
Well done! :) Your turn (P.S. What an amazing movie!!!)
I just recognized Björk and then I remembered that I really want to watch this movie one day :)
Spoiler
After that I checked the image link - please remember to rename the filename for future movies ;)
Sorry for the quality, got the pic from a Youtube video - but it should be fairly easy if you know the film...

Correct!
Goodness! Such fast responses. "Guess The Movie Title" has gone into the Lightning Round! :cheesy:
Next one:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_06.png)
Hmmm... Looks pretty wet outside those windows... Bioshock: The Movie?
After?
Before?
Lethal Candle - Timber Years?
Nope. It's a mediocre horror movie from 2008.
100 Feet :D
Hell yes!

A toughie. :)
Looks like Heather from Silent Hill...
Nope. Hint time: It's a Spanish film which originally came out in 2007 with an American remake coming out in 2008. It's a horror set in pretty much one location. And it's brilliant.
Okay, enough clues :)
then it must be REC
really cool and tense flick!
You GOT IT :D
Cool :D
well then, next movie to guess:
(http://i.imgur.com/TUuzQ0v.png)
Damn, I always miss the easy ones. REC is one on my favourite films. (REC2 is also pretty good, unlike the absolute pile of wank that is REC: Genesis... terrible, terrible disappointment.)
I think that's from CARNAGE?

The Last Starfighter?
Nope
another earth?
Another Last Starfighter?
Nah :)
Planets From Space?
Melancholia?
I have to be honest and admit that it was my girlfriend, not me, who guessed right. So it was only fair that I let her pick the next movie clue. I apologize sincerely for dropping a "chick flick" into this thread. :wink:

Bah. I watch chick flick movies from time to time (I try to watch almost any movie except for bad movies.. example of bad: the new Dredd movie, or anything of the sort - I can't get over how terrible that movie was).
I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I even watched it again a couple weeks ago just because it was a few years since I last saw it. I even cried at the end. :-D haha

He's stolen my technique for playing this game!
It looks like the stoner from Cabin in the Woods... but I do not remember a film real in the movie. This is likely not him (too lazy to check IMDB to see what he looks like).
Edit: That's my guess btw.. just in case it happens to be right, which I'm likely not. I did actually check IMDB and he happens to be wearing the same clothing... so who knows.
This actor wears the same clothes in all his 2 movies.
Yeah, it's from when they go down the cellar and start picking up all the different artifacts that will choose the form of the Destructor. ("He had the conch in his hand! I'll never get to see a merman.")
yep, it is Cabin in the Woods. So it is Ponch's Ryan Timothy's turn.
Shoot. I just remembered this. My electricity has been out for over 24 hours. We had a nasty rain storm followed by a cold chill, froze everything. Thousands of houses without power.
I'd post a picture but all I have is my cellphone - which is nearly dead anyway. Someone else can take my turn. The power is expected to come on in another 12 hours or so. And at that time I'll be starting my work shift. Very unlikely I'll get a chance to get to this anytime soon.

Nolan is an excellent director but awful at writing and casting parts. Anne Hathaway did pretty good with what she had, four lines and two actions scenes.

Well, if nobody guesses this until tomorrow, I'll gladly nominate Eric as the next in turn;) And if he wouldn't want to take over, then I guess its up to anybody who posts his/her movie first.

Dogtooth (Kynodontas). But I had to cheat to guess it (by the way Wikipedia's plot summary suggests that you have a
messed-up taste in movies.)
It's really rare that I leave a movie theater feeling like I've had a powerful experience (last time was probably Tree of Life), but seeing Kynodontas was one of those times. In terms of leaving an impression, it's probably the best film I've seen in the last decade. (Still didn't recognize the screencaps, though.)
really? Kynodontas didn't work on me, I was just bored. Maybe I was not ready for it yet though... *adds film to rewatch list*
Maybe it's just that I have kids.... I seriously found the plot summary disturbing.
Anyway, since no one is telling me I'm wrong, let's move this competition on to sunnier moments in cinematic history:

Oh yeah. Now, that one was a disturbing movie made by messed-up people.
The 'purpose' gap between these two films is huge, IMO it's the gap between sincerity and humanism and the most worthless and pointless kind of nihilism.
Dogtooth is an artfully made film about a man setting boundaries to constrain his family. Puting it bluntly, the director's purpose was 'to make a film about freedom'.
A Serbian Film's problem is, as I see it, that it serves no purpose except this one: to push boundaries of what can be shown on screen. It really bugs me how well it was made. You think yourself, the directing is good, the cinemathography is very good, the acting is convincing, but why was this movie made in the first place, why did all those people agree to take part in this? I doubt if even the writer/director himself could answer this. I bet he would say something along the lines: 'I wanted to show the protagonist's journey to the heart of darkness in order to prove how dark human nature is and how ruthless the world is. Even the filmmakers, we're no better than the worst of scum'.
The point is, this film has no other purpose than pushing boundaries, and when it comes to shocking value itself, it's actually pretty silly. The fact of filming the scene of raping the newborn - it's just so over the top - I mean, how far can you get until one starts to smile at the absurdity of what is being shown on screen? Of course, it's all faked, the newborn is fake, the genitals are fake, the camera cleverly avoids showing the 'key points' of the view in all of the 'controversial' scenes. And since you know it's all about faking and pretending, you can breathe with a sign of relief and then smile with disbelief at the sheer, undistilled idiocy of the filmmakers.
No feature film, no matter how shocking or unsettling it would be can rival the real life. Real events, real non-pretending people... like, for example, shown in documentaries. Holocaust documentaries, Mondo documentaries, and all those 'good-for-nothing-but-pure-shock-docs' like Faces of Death'* and its clones, they make all the 'Serbian Films' of this world seem childish. You know, like burping and farting out loud in the middle of a job interview.
Hmmm... Come to think of it, both films' directors were journeying to the heart of darkness.
I could say, Kynodontas' director went deep in to the dark jungle of human soul; then, after long search, he found some light amidst its 'gloom and doom'. As we saw in the movie, the boundaries set by the dictator can't last forever, because one day his subjects will revolt, grasping for freedom. So a cinephile like me eagerly anticipates that in his next movie Mr Lanthimos will tell us something more about freedom, or perhaps about another aspect of human nature...
Similarly, A Serbian Film's director went deep into the dark jungle of human soul - but he was looking for the dark caves. After getting into the darkest one (quite f*****g dark, really), he went down, down to where the flashlights refuse to give light, and further down, all the way down... till he found himself drowning in the stinking pool of blood, guts and shit.
So the question from a cinephile like me to a director like him would be: 'How long can you hold your breath, champ?'
PS: Damn, did I just write an essay or what? It is strange and unsettling how bad movies are able to provoke probably much more brainstorming among the audiences than in filmmakers' heads. A Serbian Film certainly isn't worth all the fuss. From every point of view, it's just a waste of time.
EDIT: *I guess it's very inappropriate of me to put Holocaust documentaries, especially the major ones like Shoah or Marcel Ophuls films in one sentence with shock-doc crap like Faces of Death. I would strongly advise people to watch the former and stay away from the later ones :)
I kind of forgot about this. Hopefully no one was really waiting for this too much:

Okay, from one indie movie to another...

Great movie choices! Jeunet's visual style is incredible. (even more so when he teams up with Caro!)
Indeed it is. Yeah, I don't like all of Jeunet's films, but his design sense is great.
As far as I know, the next one is probably not that well known, so I went with a
fairly revealing shot...

I like all of Jeunet's films. It's Caro with whom I have issues. I'm pretty excited about The Young and Prodigious Spivet.
Tramponline, wild guess: The Two Jakes.
Nice one, but no.
That's neither Nicholson nor Keitel in this shot, though the protagonists might've gas from time to time - not sure though :tongue:.

I'm getting very confused here, so I'm going to guess Taking Of Pelham 123.
Almost spot on - concerning the year of release.
It's a good movie, but it is REALLY not that well known.
I wouldn't even consider it unfair to consult IMDb.com in this case...
Hint: The book this movie is based on was written by a Swedish couple of crime fiction writers. In it's adaptation
however the setting was changed to some major metropolis in the US. (Clint Eastwood escaped from some famous prison island over there, in some
totally unrelated movie. :tongue:)
Edit: Also, check Eric's godawful spelling(!) in the post above. Good hint!

That plus the character name gives me... An Investigation Of MURDER.
Hmmm... Sjöwall & Wahlöö suggests...
The Laughing Policeman?
Absolutely, Snarky! That's it.
A gritty urban police procedural film with a great bunch of characters. Quite cynical & "honest", in a sense that the protagonists are as clueless as the viewer at times and you see
them following up on many dead-end leads. In certain key scenes it almost feels like an "American Giallo" for some reason (yeah, I know, I'm an oxy-moron! :tongue:), but it fits the overall mood of the movie to the point.) Watch it if you can...
EDIT: Dang, sorry bbX1138! Seems like you guessed it first! Stupid alternative titles, it's the same movie:
"The Laughing Policeman" aka "An Investigation of a Murder" (<-- which kind of moron thought that was a good alternative title for that film!!! :angry:)
Sorry Snarky! Blame the international releases! :)
Yep, your go bbX1138!
Edit: Ah fuck not again!

Obviously, but you know what I mean. That's like calling "The Big Lebowski": "Stoned dude wants his carpet back", how more dumbing-down does it get?! If you've seen "The Laughing Policeman", the protagonist doesn't even smile one single time throughout the whole movie, it's a hardboiled cop film - that's the whole cynical punchline...

Terminator II?
No, but a prominent cast member of that film has a minor role in the sequel to this one!
I thought that was a big time hint!
I'm wrecking my brain here. There're still so many possibilities, "Pet Sematary" for example.
At first I thought it was "Maniac Cop" or "Psycho Cop", but the visual style of your shot fits non
of these - looks kind of like early-mid 90s. Another screenshot perhaps?

Holy crap, is that Robert Patrick in the picture? I've never seen From Dusk 'Til Dawn, and it would be super weird if I somehow recognized him from his sleeve. My super-power is identifying obscure photos of Robert Patrick.

Winter's Bone?
Yes, waheela got it! It's Winter's Bone.
The connection to the previous screenshot was that Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee both acted in Twin Peaks and

"First on the moon". (Russian pseudo-documentary).
It looks a little like a young Mick Jagger, so I'm going to guess Gimme Shelter or Shine A Light. Otherwise it might be a Euro film from the 50s/60s? Maybe French or British New Wave?

Not many Korean sci-fi films from 2003 that take place in 2080. Never seen the movie. Any good?
Yes to both questions. :)
Hey, is that the Korean remake of Blade Runner? Any good?
All Korean movies are remakes of Blade Runner. Even the ones made before 1982.
Did somebody say Blade Runner?! :cheesy:
Ponch has been using the forum search again to find all the latest mentions of Blade Runner.

OK, since Esseb hasn't taken his turn, I'll kick it off again with another screencap:

Ah, sorry. I knew there was something I forgot.
No idea about the new one.
Ooooh-kay... No guesses from anybody? Here's another clue, then:
(http://i.imgur.com/1bODzbr.jpg) (http://imgur.com/1bODzbr)
it looks like a movieset with painted NY backgrounds but still no idea.
Well, that looks like a rather young Christopher Walken, but I still don't recognise the movie.
That's Eli Wallach standing beside him. I don't know this one off the top of my head.
Wow, is this stumping the movie guessers? You're both right about the actors. Here's another snapshot:
(http://i.imgur.com/8r0DGMu.jpg)
I could also add that it's a horror movie, and that there are at least two other (unrelated) films by the same title.
Dead Zone?
No. Final image before I just give it away:
(http://i.imgur.com/9oLcn3b.jpg)
(Anyone recognize that guy?) The main character is the woman in red at the center. It's a 1976 or '77 movie (sources differ), kind of a Rosemary's Baby/The Exorcist riff by a director famous for bloody action movies who died earlier this year.
Well, I know Walken, Wallach, Burgess Meredith and I think that's Jerry Orbach. But I don't think I've ever seen this movie. You've stumped me.
This kind of feels like cheating, because I've never seen the film...the only thing that gave it away was the director's recent death and the fact that he filmed something in my home town (both facts I'd come across recently) - would it still count for me to post the movie, since I kind of googled it based on that info...? :-\

Sure, go ahead. It's not like people haven't had a chance to recognize it, and with all the actors already identified it would be trivial for anyone to look it up anyway (http://oracleofbacon.org/).
Is it The Sentinel? (1977 version according to IMDB) based on Micheal Winner's recent death... (the guess...not the film :P)
Absolutely. (Not an obscure film at all, I would have thought.) Your go!
This one shouldn't be too hard to guess, so I'll try and make it harder by not showing an image of the star actor (well, 'actor' is a loose term):

Psycho?
It's one of those, but what would the connection be?
Ah, Wikipedia did solve it: In both, The Crow and Plan 9 one of the actors died during production and was replaced by another person.
When I saw this screen earlier today, I immediately thought of Plan 9, but wasn't sure because I didn't recognize the actor - the cheap background gave it away ;)
Well, if someone else guessed the connection I was going to say they should work together with san.daniele to come up with the next one, but seeing as Cat CHEATED, it's all yours, san.daniele!
Shouldn't be too hard

The Warriors. Good film.
Right on everything u wrote.
btw. Most enjoyable game by rockstar I played on the psp. It exists on other platforms as well, but imo works best with the handheld.
I never got the chance to play it :sad:. But speaking of rockstar, I got Max Payne 3 the other day and it is amazing... As good if not better than most modern movies I've watched. I did have my reservations but rockstar really done well with it.
Anyhoo, a bit of retro 'stop motion' goodness:

One of the Wallace and Gromit games? If it is, I can't remember which episode.
[edit]
Sorry I thought I was in the "Name the Game" thread!

Nope, but if we were playing hot/cold, you'd be on fire!

first I was confused about seeing Robert De Niro.
but then I remembered that I thought that the actor in "The Intouchables" (i think that's the English title, I'm too tired to look it up right now) looks like him.
im 99% sure I'm right. great movie! my girlfriedn and I kinda disagree about what makes it good though.
Correction - You're 100% right (nod)

I think it is Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful".

Correct!
The well combined thriller and black/ironic humor.
One of my favorite scenes is when the guy in biosuit walks across the room full of quaranteed people and suddenly slips on a slippery floor and falls down. I laughed for about a minute after that :)
The Korean monster movie? Man, I don't remember those shots at all!
Wow, that was pretty much a stab in the dark! I just noticed everyone had black hair, and I vaguely remembered something about the yellow mist being used as some kind of disinfectant or cure or what have you...
I have a feeling this is going to be a tricky one, so let me say by way of a hint that it's a French movie, but not by a French director:
(http://i.imgur.com/icEoc73.jpg)
Oh! Oh! I think I know!
Les Diaboliques?
*edit* Oh wait, that's a French director. :(
Nope. :)
(http://i.imgur.com/xump8Qi.jpg)
(If you look closely at the background, it might give you a clue about the movie.)
Casablanca?
I even remember this line: "Oh, c'mon! Have a cigarette! Wait...Have two cigarettes, god damn it!"
I only saw 4 movies in my life (Rocky IV among them), so I don't have a clue.
It's not Casablanca (that's not Bogey, just someone who looks a bit like him) and it's not Rocky IV :-D
Rififi?
Nope. If you can work out the setting, that would really help:
(http://i.imgur.com/19NFL7n.jpg)
Godfather?
Why does it look like a man is going to eat a woman's hand, and she's smiling?
Because they're goofing around.
Since I guess no one has been able to spot it yet, they're in a sleeping compartment on a train. The guys in the previous image (later in the film) are murder police. If you've heard of the film, that should be enough to get it, but here's another shot anyway:
(http://i.imgur.com/cxVCgwn.jpg)
Edit: Made the hint even more obvious. If I now say that it was the first film by a famous Greek-born director, maybe someone will get it? Or be able to Google it?
Well, it's been two days. If this isn't enough for someone to guess it, I seriously have to wonder...
Spoiler
(http://i.imgur.com/UwCgof3.jpg) (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sleeping+compartment+murder)
Is it Compartiment Tueurs? (Which I guess translates roughly as Compartment Killers.)
Thank you! (nod)
The English title is The Sleeping Car Murders, but I think it's mostly known by its original title.
Well, that's certainly what I know it by.
Not sure how easy this one is (assuming no one cheats - it's impossible to Google-proof these things). Bit of a tenuous link to the previous one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/IWSaY3c.png[/imgzoom]
No one? The quality's a little rough, it's a tennis match where everyone is following the ball left and right except one guy who's staring directly at the protagonist...
Strangers on a Train?
EDIT: That must be right. I missed the part about there being a connection with the previous film. I'll await verification, but have a screenshot all queued up!
Correct, Eric!
(http://i.imgur.com/gbkf9jb.jpg)
Pretty clear connection between this film and the last one.
Hmmm, I'll guess the connection is Hitchcock and as I don't recognise the film I'll go forrrrrr Family Plot. Was that even b&w?
Wait, isn't this from "The Big Sleep"? And the connection is Ben Raymond Chandler, then?
Ilyich is correct! This is the Big Sleep, based on the book by Raymond Chandler, who wrote a draft of Strangers on the Train and had famous battles with Hitchcock.
Okay, here we go! No connection to the previous screen intended, although it's clearly there. :)

Not so sure Ilyich, the Indian version had wheelchairs painted as the Tron bikes and I've seen the movie 4 times when I was 15.
I haven't seen the movie, but since I only know three films with people in wheel chairs, and it's not Rear Window or Intouchables... is it Born on the 4th of July?
Kite Runner 2: Aerodynamic Boogaloo?
High on Wheels: I See Dead Girls (japanese version by Hideo Nakata).
Perhaps a deleted scene from Rain Man?

While amusing, none of those are correct. :)

Technically, didn't bbx1138 (sort of) guess it right first? :embarrassed:
Also, I've never seen "Fireworks." A guy I work with named Hector was the one who knew the movie. I have a movie clue ready to go, based on the movie he chose. I don't have a DVD or VHS for this one, so I had to grab it off a website. So no cheating with the googles! :wink:

Neither one, but good guess!
close encounters of the third kind? That movie is full of blue.

Yes, well done Eric! One of Stephen King's few acting roles, in a collaboration with George A Romero.
(http://i.imgur.com/0h7TnZW.jpg)
No obvious connection between this movie and the previous one. I just happened to be watching this!
Of Mice And Men?
The Elephant Man?
It is neither of those! Here's a hint: there's a very clear connection between this and the last film that I posted.
Frankenstein of the Jungle?
Well, that was The Big Sleep. I'm guessing the connection is going to be Chandler, Hawks or Bogie, but I have a massive blind spot in this area of film. I'll go for my immediate thought which is The Maltese Falcon.
It can't be Franckenstein of The Jungle because she's having a drink, and we all know how's Franky around women who drink...And The Maltese Falcon sounds very unlikely, who the hell would hire a guy looking like that and call him Falcon? Falcon is a black dude wearing red spandex, everybody knows that.
I'm going for Tron again. It worked in Reno.
My first thought was "Double Indemnity" - because of the lighting and the femme, but I disregarded that thought because I didn't see the connection(apart from both films being noir, obviously). Never knew it was co-written by Chandler! But now the pieces of the puzzle have started to fall into place, see! I'm still not quite sure, but that's my guess. :)
I don't remember anything like that in Double Indemnity, but then I haven't seen it for years...
I don't remember anything like that in Double Indemnity either, my guess is based almost solely on the lighting setup, which is, admittedly, pretty common for film noir. :)
Double Indemnity was written by Chandler, but Chandler is not the connection here. bbX1138 is correct in one of his guesses at the connection, though!
Well, in that case I'll make my final guess at The Thing From Another World, produced (and most say ghost-directed) by Hawks.
(http://i.imgur.com/NcdAHrU.jpg)
bbX1138 is getting warmer!
The Day Earth Stood Still?
Looks like a cowboy film, probably Hawks. I have a guess but I'm not taking it!
Still no correct answers. That's a very, very well known actor on the left.
Magnificent Seven?
Who Shot Liberty Valence?
Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) did! Still no correct guesses! You guys are getting colder.
Oh, alright: Rio Bravo?
I think that back of the head belongs to Cary Grant and his amazing helmet hair, but apart from that I have no ideas. :)
If only Ilyich and bbx could join forces! I'm on the road currently, but will post a more revealing shot tomorrow if no one gets it.
Johnny Bravo Always Rings Twice?
Bringing Up Baby?
I forgot it was a cowboy film.
Hmmm, a Howard Hawks Cary Grant cowboy film. SOMEONE must know this! I don't know westerns.
Is it a cowboy film? I never said it was!
I forgot I wouldn't have a copy of this film with which to make new screenshots. Luckily, the internet is here. This is probably the most famous scene in the movie in question:

Never heard of it! So, Ponch's go?
PS - those are goddamn cowboys, Hawks is an idiot.
You should seek it out, sir. It's an amazing movie, and sets the formula for the remainder of Hawks' career. And, perhaps, in a sense, these guys are cowboys, and this is a bit of a western. But not really.
Only Angels Have Wings was the inspiration for one of my favorite TV shows, Tales of the Gold Monkey. For some reason I didn't recognize it until you posted that last shot. And Howard Hawks loved cowboys so much, he stuck them in almost every movie he did. Much like John Carpenter, a big fan of Hawks, tends to do.
Anyhoo, here's a cap from a movie I watched just last weekend. :smiley:

I almost cited Carpenter when talking about westerns that weren't westerns! Assault on Precinct 13 is pretty much Rio Bravo. Also, I too am a big fan of Tales of the Gold Monkey, and the show that later paid homage to it, Tale Spin!
Lawnmower Woman? :)
Not the Fifth Element and not Lawnmower Man either. (wrong)
Snake Plissken is the most western hero I've ever seen outside of a western. The same can be said of Jack Burton too. Also, I've heard of Tale Spin, but I don't think I've ever seen it. I was a bit too old when those Disney shows hit the air, sadly.

Yes, I drop Shaft into everything. But I'm Shaft. That extra bit is what makes it awesome (for me -- for everyone else, it's creepy. I go around softly humming the theme music to myself and calling everyone "jive turkey" under my breath).
This is obviously the Russian movie COME AND SEE... maybe.
Cool! :-)

You'll have to be more specific

(And no, it's not a Smokey and the Bandit movie. This flick stars the only man more manly than late 70s/early 80s Burt Reynolds).
Kurt Russel there Ponch?
No guess, but that exact burned ride is in an amusement park that used to be near me (I moved, it didn't burn).

No! Someone even more manly. Possibly the manliest man that ever manned! :=
Nice try, Eric. But I've already contacted the authorities and reported your arson. I hope for you sake the statute of limitations has run out. :wink:
If no one guesses it, I'll post another clue tomorrow morning.
The manly'est man to ever be manned! I recognise Chuck Norris' back head anywhere!!
It's Lone Wolf McQuade then.
It is indeed Chuck Norris, but it's not Lone Wolf McQuade. Here's another clue:

This just happened to be referenced on Breaking Bad on Sunday: Lone Wolf McQuade
Edit: Damn. You beat me.
I was hoping for a suspenseful buildup, but ah well. 8-) Yea Hank's wife calls him that I believe.
QuoteEdit: Damn. You beat me.
Arguable since I didn't list the full title, as I was going for a little crescendo before calling it.
Actually, Miquel guessed this movie as a joke a while back, so I was sure it would be an easy win for him. Instead, Kconan gets it (although technically speaking, he only guessed 1/3 of the title). :=
Take it away, K.
On a side note, you know what I absolutely hated about his Voyager character Chakotay? It was all that Indian bull they mixed in with his character. It didn't feel authentic, he either did a very bad job at acting and making us believe this was his way of life, or it was just poorly written.
I'll admit though, I generally find scenes with Indian related stuff boring as all hell. One I can think of is that episode where Mulder was nearly dying and the Indian did some life saving voodoo magic on him - IT WAS TERRIBLE and I nearly passed out when I rewatched the series last year. And that was the second season premiere, like talk about a quality introduction.
(http://rareunlimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/klowns-RARE.jpg)
"In space no one can eat ice cream!"
The problem with Chakotay's "people" is that they were every native tribe of the Americas rolled into one. He came from some sort of Rain Forest / High Desert / Great Plains / Cliff Dwelling people of the ice. It was really bizarre. (wtf)
EDIT: Damn it, Kconan! Stop posting while other people are posting! It's like jumping ahead of them in line! :wink:
You're right. If he were an alien, I would've accepted it and I wouldn't have been rolling my eyes as often each time they brought in his "spirit stone" and talked about the rain forest. Like with Nelix going all postal when he starts doubting his afterlife tree beliefs (which really pissed me off that no one even said "What if things that happen in the spiritual world don't transfer back to the materialistic world - therefor you wouldn't remember it because it happened to your soul, not your brain", not that it would have made the whole thing much better. I generally dislike heavily religious plots).
And yes, kconan, very rude indeed. Like wait a bit, we're trying to talk here! ;)
I hope that's not Leprechaun 4: In Space
I know, right? You'd think kconan could show just a little bit of consideration. But he's too busy winning competitions and stuff.(wrong)
In much the same way, I feel the writers on Voyager never got a proper grasp of most of their characters. It was Star Trek and they knew it would sell, so they just sort of coasted through seven seasons.
Critters 4: In Space?

This is the US movie. The story takes place in 1940-ies LA. The protagonist is the private detective. There's a mystery, betrayal and many dead bodies (hehe).

Farewell, My Lovely?
If I'm not mistaken, that's actually a British film, financed by Lord Lew Grade, who also produced The Prisoner and The Muppet Show. I should've gotten that one! I didn't recognize Jack O'Halloran without his Non beard.
EDIT: ...And I am mistaken! Big Sleep was the British production. This is the one that featured a young Stallone.

You're damn right I knew it was 1966's Batman with Felinni's arty angles!

The beauty of posting movie posters would be that we'd all see some art in this thread. 80% of the posts here are ugly, obscure representations of great movies that can only refrain people from watching them. I know this is a competition but some shots are just hilariously difficult, like we're in a restrict movie club of 4 or 5 friends. Next time I'll post a Portuguese movie shot and I'll win this competition forever...
There's no shame in celebrating movies in all their glory, it's easy for some of us but I'm pretty sure that among 7000 members we could have more people joining here if we weren't instead being pretentious about showing rare Godard long lost shots...
It does look very much like Getafix, but I'm not sure which of the movies it's from.

The Picture of Joseph Stalin ?
This time I haven't got a clue, so I'm doing some research, just for fun.
Discovered the existence of a "Double Portrait" film, but it seems highly unlikely to be related.
Also, I'd like to ask: are the portraits important / is the screenshot a good depiction of the film?

Hmmm, I don't think a person will forget those portraits if he ever saw the movie :D. Hard to tell if they well define the film, but the whole scene is devoted for explanation of the "antagonist" motives, and these pictures are painted by him, which, I guess, reflect his... umm, condition, pretty much.
Also, there are more than two portraits in the film.
It looks like it was shot in the early 60s, is that right?

= Hammer and/or Dracula!
My first guess would be the Roddy McDowell movie where they investigate a haunted house with (pseudo-)SCIENCE! (Legend of Hell House, maybe?) I'm pretty sure the paintings weren't so stylised and there wasn't a tall blonde guy.
No, it is not Dracula.
Probably paintings were distracting, so here's something more important and relevant to the plot.

Cooking with David Lynch.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's Michael McKean, Brad Pitt and Christopher Lloyd. Why haven't I heard of this movie?! I thought it would be Johnny Suede but I just checked and Lloyd's not in that...
Radio Days?
EDIT: Ugh. That's not the movie I meant to guess. Radio Days is the Woody Allen film. This is...the other one.
No, Eric, must be the other one. But you are getting closer.
I wouldn't know about Brad Pitt being in this movie.
Ok, this should make it easy:

If I ever meet Brad Pitt, I'm telling him Ben X confused him for Joey Lawrence.
Radioland Murders?
Correct, Ponch!
I think this movie is great, I hope they will finally release a region 2 DVD of it.
You're right, Cat. Radioland Murders deserves a higher profile than it has.
Anyhoo, here's my clue. As far as I know, it isn't connected to the previous movie in any way except it's also a movie that deserves a higher profile.

It's actually quite good. Sadly, it's a mostly forgotten sci-fi flick, but it has some solid performances and the look of the world is very believable.
That's not Silent Running, is it?
Nope. It's not Silent Running. Think less "Woodstock In Space" and more "High Noon In Space."

It is, so far, none of these. But I hope you're actually talking about The Jugger with Rutger Hauer.
One good screen deserves another! (http://i.imgur.com/1aiBBIy.jpg)
The face on the left (of the first picture) is Ronald or Donald Fraser, a British Actor who often had a bit part as a sometimes posh sounding soldier-type character.
Looks like Raquel Welch, is it that spy movie she did? The Cinematography is reminiscent of early James Bond films.

It must be Paper Mario: The Movie! :grin:
I had an impossible dream where I learned the answer to this one.
Okay guys, I believe you need some hints:
#1-Super Mario wasn't born when the movie was made;
#2-The movie is based around a universal acclaimed book;
#3-The actress depicted is considered one of the most beautiful of all time and she's still alive and kicking;
#4-A donkey stars in the movie;
#5-The leading actor is Irish-born raised in Leeds, England.
Man of La Mancha starring Sophia Loren & Peter O'Toole

No, no singing cowboys either.
But Singin' Sandy Saunders provides a nice segue to my next clue: Try alliterations.
FYI: The writer of this film was a victim of the HUAC blacklist.
And its star had named names before the Committee a few years prior to shooting this movie.
And was an agent of the OSS during WWII!

The General.
I don't think there's a harpoon involved in The General.
But the actor does play a general in Dr. Strangelove, yes.
He's the guy "stuck" in his office with Peter Sellers (playing a soldier). I remember that he gets the phone call that nuclear Armageddon is near.
Oh oh, the guy with the fluids. That's Sterling Hayden, isn't it? (I realise now that in my mind I'd transplanted Sellers into that role as well!) Yeah, I recognise young him now. I know he was in Johnny Guitar, but I'm pretty sure that was in colour...
Can we have more hints, please?
I'm pretty sure it's Blade Runner, but...
The movie is neither called "Horror in a Hawaii Hamlet" nor "Shock in a South Dakota Settlement".
Terror in a Texas Town! (I got "Terror in a ... Town" from the hint, TX from alliteration, and confirmation that such a film exists from Google)
And we have a winner!
Just as I was beginning to think I managed to break the game on my first try.
Edit: And let me add that Dalton Trumbo is in fact the screenwriter, just as Ben X guessed a few days ago.
This is a fantastic movie, and has the single greatest final duel in the streets of any western ever made (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBoy7piXtPM).
No connection to the last movie, because connections are stupid!

Heh heh, the screen is massively unrepresentative of the movie. This might give it away, though.

Is it The Man With The Golden Gun?
Nay.
zebraman?
Damn, I vividly remember the scene from the first screenshot, and I'm pretty sure that it features some well known american actor from the 40-50s(the film is from the 50s as well, I think), whose character has just escaped from something war-related and is enjoying the war-free life with a handsome gal by his side, and the second screen suggests some tropical location, and how can't I remember what it is?! This is driving me crazy...
Sounds like you're about to put it together, Ilyich...
You'll probably get it on your own, but if you're desperate, take a peek (it's still not a total giveaway):

On the other hand, the director's debut/breakthrough movie (which I know several of you have seen) had just such a title.
Does this help? It's a movie from this year, a science fiction film sort of in the vein of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Weird Science (Of Sleep)?
Hint: If you can recognize the guy, that should help you work it out. He's only been in two movies, both by the same director.
OK, final image clue. The last one was the shot used for the film poster, this one is literally depicting the title of the movie:
(http://i.imgur.com/YnH6H2g.jpg)
It might also help if I tell you that the guy in the last picture is also the director, and that he in fact wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, composed the music and made the special effects for both his films (both science fiction). His first film is a famously confusing cult favorite.

It's no fun when people can't guess it. I thought for sure some of you would have seen this one. Guess not. I highly recommend it (like I mentioned earlier, it's available for purchase online) if you enjoyed
Primer.
yeah, I imdb'd from primer... ;)
Ooh, I did like Primer. I haven't seen many recent movies because I have a two-year-old (which means I've seen one movie in theaters in the past year -- Disney's Planes). I'll have to seek this one out. On DVD yet?
Heh... also dad of a 2 year old, last movie seen at cinema: Thomas: King of the Mountains! :-D
We rarely seem to get that sort of movie in this thread...
Quote from: Eric on Mon 21/10/2013 18:52:47I'll have to seek this one out. On DVD yet?
Yeah, Carruth released it on Blu-ray/DVD (http://www.amazon.com/Upstream-Color-Blu-ray-Combo-Pack/dp/B00BC75H5S) and online video services back in May (it's doing a limited festival and theatrical run as well). He's moved on from only
making a film pretty much single-handedly to now also
distributing it himself. Compared to
Primer,
Upstream Color is not as cryptic and puzzle-y, though it still takes a while to figure out what's going on. It's also beautifully filmed, and more openly emotional. I really enjoyed it (though it's not quite as memorable as his first movie); some have found the long wordless stretches and strange relationship at the center of it off-putting.
As for the latest one... I don't think I know it. Maybe it's a throwback to the beginning of the thread:
1408?
no 1408.
No more guesses?
I think a lot more people have seen this film than people have seen upstream color.
No film: Return of the Thread Killer?
Is it The Game? The only movie I can think of off the top of my head that has little keys like that important enough to be a good screengrab! The cinematography, production design and actor look wrong, though.

Eric, you are a movieman! Respect. Was it too easy for you? It was hard for me to find a frame in pulp fiction that is not immediately recognisable though ;)
I will say that it's got Michael McKean in it.
It has multiple endings.
I can never decide whether to take Eric's veiled... hints as the answer, or accept it as him teeing it up for someone else to do the honors.
Is it...
Boddy Runner?
Always take it as teeing up. I always feel guilty answering quickly after taking a turn. But I'm tempted when it's a movie that I love the hell out of, like this one. Or Terror in a Texas Town.
Selmiak -- I just got lucky! My film appreciation students are watching neo-noir films this week, and I just screened Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to see which I preferred to offer on their list of film choices. I went with Reservoir Dogs (and a bunch more, including, yes, Blade Runner!).
Nope. It involves a dead body.
It also has Tim (spicy dish) in it.

Sean Connery, Christian Slater, F. Murray Abraham and Ron Perlman in a Hollywood-esque film based on a hit novel by Umberto Eco. Rather a classic, I should think.
Because it's terrible?
Sure, it has big names in it. Didn't do it any favours, though. You could probably walk down a busy highstreet and count on one hand how many people saw that movie (or willingly watched it to the end). Maybe I'm wrong. Just my opinion I guess.

would make a good adventure game like.
It's a murder mystery set in a medieval abbey featuring horny monks, heretics, a beautiful mysterious girl and evil inquisitors. Sean Connery as Sherlock Holmes as a monk! There's hidden passages, a secret library, a fire, grotesque dissections and one of the hottest sex scenes of the decade. What's not to love? Fuck it, I'm gonna watch it now!
Don't know about this last one. La Dolce Vita?
Plus, it's a movie based on a book by a semiotician. How often does that happen? Saussure and Barthes certainly didn't have Hollywood success.
Welp, that settles it. I'm clearly not worthy! I might as well go and drown myself in a bath like that fat bald dude from the movie!
I think some flagellation to mortify the flesh will be sufficient.
Yup the sex scene is something hot! Slater looses his virginity if I recall to a beautiful dangerous gipsy like girl. He's also the narrator, like in the book.
I watch The Name of The Rose every time it shows on TV. Just like Rocky IV, I just can't skip those movies.
Btw, it's not Ass Vegas or Dolce Vita.

Snarky: Now that you mention it, quite possibly, yes. Although we never get the Dude's POV in the Coens' version. Chickens.
Miguel: Since Dick Van Dyke was seven years old when this movie was made, my guess would be no. But Ol' Zebra Cat there is really only a glorified extra anyhow. Lil' Silky Puss next to him, on the other hand, is one of the film's leading ladies. The actual star of the movie - not featured in any screencaps, so far - was, and is, actually most famous for his involvement in the gangster genre of all things.
Yankee Doodle Dandy?
Not Yankee Doodle Dandy, but you got the star right, yes.
Well, it's definitely either got choreography by, or influenced by Busby Berkeley.
Well Mr.Eric, thanks for the tip!
Is it Footlight Parade?
Footlight Parade is correct!
The last big Warner Brothers-muscial from before the strict enforcement of the self censorship of the Hollywood Production Code in 1934, starring James Cagney. And while many of those Pre Code sound movies are not actually particularly good by any means, they still are quite interesting. Visually they already pretty much follow the formulas of Classical Hollywood, their treatment of themes such as sex, violence, and social issues, among others, on the other hand is completely different - if at times completely gratuitous. Thus a film from 1933, like Footlight Parade, just leaves you with an utterly different picture of its times than a movie produced a few months later in 1934.
Fantastic stuff indeed.
Here's a beauty:

That's Randolph Scott, so...Comanche Station?
Ugh...no! Dammit. That's Randolph Scott AND Joel McCrea. I know what movie this is, and it's not Comanche Station.
Here's a quote by the movie's director: "I consider myself one of the foremost male lesbians in the world."
Now go and google that if you don't mind the NSA thinking you a bit weird...

Son of Rambow?
Yes, Tibatonk is correct!
Oddly enough that movie was my first thought when I saw your original screenshot. But since I had never seen the film, nor could I remember its title, I only got as far as "Wasn't there a British movie a few years back about... kids doing... stuff?"
Well, here's a new one (and there's even a connection of sorts to the last one):

Last Year at Marienbad?

edit 2: "Wasn't there a British movie a few years back about... kids doing... stuff?" - lol
Yes, Garage Gothic is right. Fellini's 8 1/2 it is.
Of course that is 8 1/2. I will turn in my film fan badge in shame at the first available opportunity.

Honestly, I never saw the appeal. I thought the movie was quite pointless. The whole car escape scene (from the posted picture) was quite exhilarating and very well-done though. I wanted to see more of that, less of him trying to be a creepy boyfriend.

I really thought it was Stallone on Copland but now you got me confused, it could be easily Stiller on Meat the Parents. But for a second I imagined Stallone doing Zoolander and it was weird. Very weird.
Another weird and really uncomfortable moment in celluloid history was Stallone naked with Sharon Stone. I wanted to look at Stone's amazing figure but there he was, monstrous, atrocious, conspurcating her beauty. The horror. The horror...
Didn't Stallone do porn early in his career? I seem to remember hearing that...

I've never heard this word until today. But the next time my buddy tries to sprinkle M&Ms on a pizza, I finally have the perfect word for it. Thanks, Miguel. :cheesy:
Don't mention it, Ponch! I'm always trying to find English words that are similar to my language. It's incredible the amount of English words that native speakers do not use at all. And a huge number of them have Latin origin.
By the way, Ponch, would you search your porn database and check if Stallone did porno? Please. Should be on your dusty dark cellar where you keep your 70's porn.:=
Phew, thankfully you guys haven't guessed it yet. I got mysteriously sick and was nearly dead to the world since posting this. It's a new movie (2013 to be precise).

Well the first one they're burning a diner down because it has the best donuts in the county (they're bank robbers). Second screen is likely what Ponch does every weekend; shooting chickens buried to their necks. Very funny movie with Wahlberg and Denzel.

When I was a kid I caught the first 2 - 3 min of this film one lazy sunday afternoon.
No chance of changing channels after that - mesmerizing! - even though I hardly understood what was going on...
edit: Darn, we already had that one a while back. No peeking! (wrong)
I remember a thread in the critic lounge that showed a still from that movie and a background the guy drew based on it. Too lazy to go find it and I think it's a foreign film so I'll just say, Heavy Metal?
It's not 'Heavy Metal' (1981), but your are spot on concerning the time frame, Armageddon.
This film was released in 1982.
A very famous comic artist was involved in it's production (fairly certain you all know him).
He definitely left his surreal & slightly 'psychedelic' mark on the movie.
This one here probably represents his style a bit better:
[imgzoom]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/802/ntv7.jpg[/imgzoom]
I still remember the film from the first time it came up in this thread, but I didn't get around to actually watching it yet. I'm a big fan of Giraud's art, so I should definitely get on that.
Les Maîtres du temps?
YESSSSSELMIAK! ;-D
So, what movie is this from?
(http://i.imgur.com/ZJnlXNi.png)
Blazing Saddles?
nope.
Fistful of dollars?
nope!
I do believe this is Once Upon a Time in the West, in the scene where Frank walks down the street and picks off hiding gunmen while Harmonica gives him hints from the window. If it's not that, then it's at least reminiscent of that!
yep, it is!
Now I couldn't even post the next clue which would have been this :)

Groundhog Day
That's it! I love that movie. Your turn.
GroundHog Day is, indeed, a good movie.
This movie remains one of my favorites, but defending its political incorrectness has become difficult, over time.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/gM1_zps54b7ca42.png)
In fairness, the movie pokes fun at everything and everybody.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon or The Searchers.
Wayne wasn't in this one. So, nope.
It's quite funny, actually. Because I watched Groundhog day the day before yesterday and still, I couldn't remember the movie's name! :-[
Clue #2
The movie uses maps a couple of times to help the audience keep track of the various factions in motion. Here's one of the maps:

Indeed... Burt Lancaster in an action packed role:

Mulholland Dr.
No.
But it really looks like a David Lynch film. Maybe Blue Velvet?
It's not a Lynch.
The screenshot gives hints about the general theme, mood and location of the film.
I give up.
To be fair, it has its Lynch-like moments. Another pic:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_16.png)
So far all I can say is that the location is probably a film editing room? I'm pretty sure I never saw this film.
I'm pretty sure it was released in the last few years but I forget the name of it.
Ah, is it that one about a film editor who goes to Italy to fix some sort of troubled production, and then he gradually cracks up? Can't remember the title...
Might be Barton Fink actually.
Snarky is close. Maybe this will help you find the title:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_17.png)
Ah, I thought to myself "Wait, was he an audio editor?" and then I was able to put it together. Used teh Goog-El to find the title, though...
Berberian Sound Studio?
Yes, it is! Your turn!
Ok, this is a difficult one, so if anyone gets it without hints I'll be very impressed:

Everyone in my country knows that, so I'll pass :D
Wait, that was a hint, was it? :P
It would actually be interesting to see how well this movie is known in other parts of the world.
Ivan, The Terrible?
Crimson Wizard: Really? I figured it'd be less obscure but still fairly unknown even in the (former) country it was made.

or mulholland drive...
Blue Velvet?
Bl...
I Don't Know.
Silence of the Lambs?
Blade Runner?
Looks a little like Sigourney Weaver, so even though i don't recognise the scene I'll guess Aliens.
Nopes all round. The shot is pretty deceptive â€" unrepresentative of the movie, I should say â€" but it might be possible to identify the actress (though she has a different face now). Maybe this helps?

In the interest of not dragging this out longer than necessary, here's another (hopefully more informative) screen:

(Though, I should stop guessing movies and work on games instead. Oh, well...I guess we're all in the same boat here, eh?:tongue:)
It's 'Dead Calm', with Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane.

No, not Gummo, but also an indie film. If it helps any, Roger Ebert really liked it.

So no, it's not really Paperboy: The Movie, though there's a great scene of people being chased by dogs.

Good point. I had to look that up, and now I feel embarrassed :(.
It's not exactly an everyday word though.
For others' benefit, Occidental means "Western" and so non-Occidental means non-Western.
Sorry, I had no idea that was not a common word.
So an Asian movie, eh?
I will simply give up guessing. I'm not in the same world.
Yes, an Asian movie. If you look closely, you might even guess the country.
The movie is listed in the IMDB Top 250.
Hmmm... can't make out the writing or the ethnicity of the dude with any confidence, other than that they both look East Asian... There's a cell on the left, so this is a police station. Rotary phone seems to place it in the past (though who knows when Asian police stations completed the switch to button-press phones?), but by the picture quality the film looks newer. IMDB Top 250, so relatively well known...
Memories of Murder?
Yes, it is.
Ah, cool. Ironically, I remember almost nothing of the movie or its murder. (Do the cops shoot some guy in the rain...? That's all I got.)
This shouldn't be too hard:

Is it Ethan Hawke?
How observant of you. Yes it is!
That's who I assumed it was too. I was thinking it was the Taking Lives movie, but I'm not certain.
not Taking Lives
Before Sunset?
Bingo!
(http://i.imgur.com/vjdCAiN.png)
That's Chris Hemsworth in a film that isn't Marvel or Cabin In The Woods, so I'm going for Rush.
You got it Ben.
This might be a bit too tough at first, but bear in mind there's a strong tie to the previous film:

I'll post another one soon if no one can get it!
Rush Hour?
Nope. The police car looks far too old for that...

Yeah, I thought that too tbh, but just wondered if that was the "strong link" to the previous film!
Smokey and the Bandit?
No, but it's the same year!
Grand Theft Auto?
YES! Bloody hell, what search terms got you there? Also, name the strong tie, please!
QuoteYES! Bloody hell, what search terms got you there? Also, name the strong tie, please!
Elementary, dear Ben: police car from the late 70s or early 80s. First popular police chase movie from that era that comes to mind? Smokey and the Bandit. Nope, but you hinted it's the same year, which in this case is 1977. Quick look at the IMDB movie list from that particular year. Over 2000 of them - too many. So maybe just first 30 titles. I was looking for a title suggesting car chases. What have we here? Grand Theft Auto. You can't get more car-chasey than that. :) Bingo!
And the link? Eeeerrr... Hmmm... Flaming cars! :D
Next, one of my all time favourites:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/xDH403e.png[/IMGzoom]
A young Lucas Black, not in American Gothic or X Files: Fight The Future? Plus he's sitting with Dwight Yoakem? Well then, it must be one of my favourites too - Sling Blade! I had a massive poster for that up in my room at university, which I must have got from a cinema or something.
Oh, and Gribbler, that's not the tie between Rush and Grand Theft Auto. SO, can anyone get that link, plus the picture below AND the link between it and the previous one (ie Sling Blade)?
(http://i.imgur.com/MhWzOlT.png)
You got it, Ben. It's Sling Blade.
QuoteOh, and Gribbler, that's not the tie between Rush and Grand Theft Auto...
Of course it is. There're must be more and you just thought of a different one. Stronger perhaps :)
I know a flaming car when I see one: :D

There is indeed a stronger (and quite obvious) link! I've updated my post above with my next picture (cleverly, another shot of a car - I should write questions for University Challenge!) along with some mini-challenges...

Now that's plain harsh bbx(insert some numbers here). Be a good man. You don't really want me to go and post in that bump thread again. Do you? :P
The connection between Rush and GTA is director Ron Howard, and Sling Blade and this one is Lucas Black, right?
Give the turn to Gribbler though, he got the movie.
Well done Gribbler and Surplusguy, they were the right answers!

Nope, but the movie is a bit creepy and strange. There's also some full frontal female nudity of a fairly known actress who played with Jim Carrey once.

You both cheated I'm sure. Excellent movie though by a forgotten director. Go ahead on the next.
Quote from: ArmageddonYou both cheated I'm sure.
Well I never! :) Ben X hinted it's R Lee Ermey in previous screenshot so I followed early Ermey career to look for war themed movies. I don't consider following bread crumbs left by other guessers or post author a cheating. Only image search is cheating. And I NEVER do that.

Another shot from a few seconds after:

I have seen this... is this a scene where someone reveals their true alien form or something like that? I could be wrong.
Yeah! Someone's been possessed by it for a lot of the film then it shows up in its own form here. The two grabs are from a really nice reveal shot where what you think is its face keeps unfurling to show that was its back and its actual face is even grosser!
I guess that should be considered clue number 3 because I have no idea of the film or who is in it - I just know I've seen this scene :)
I just keep thinking of the Vindaloo Monster from Red Dwarf... :P
I alway think The Fly, but this looks not much like a fly...
Second picture looks a lot like that Rancor creature from Star Wars :)
There's a strong link to Star Wars, actually! The tone of the movie is more Vindaloo Monster than The Fly...
It's not Spaceballs is it?
Howard the Duck?
LimpingFish got it! BUT HE DIDN'T GUESS AT THE LINK BETWEEN IT AND THE PREVIOUS ONE, AS I PREDICTED.

Howard the Duck is a
terrible awesome terrible movie, though I'm not shy of it appearing in full view among my DVD collection. It's right next to Messiah of Evil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_of_Evil), from the same creative team, which is one of my favourite independent horror films of the '70s.
No Lea Thompson in that one, though. :(

Howard the Duck may be a bad movie (I've never actually seen it), but I can very much recommend the novelization; written by Ellis Weiner, editor (at one time) of National Lampoon. It is really quite funny, though not as good as his Dune spoof, DOON.
And of course, Steve Gerber's original comic is a classic.
Quote from: Snarky on Wed 23/04/2014 20:07:46
Howard the Duck may be a bad movie (I've never actually seen it)...
Oh, you must! It's a fascinating blend of misguided creative decisions, implied bestiality, animatronics and stop-motion monsters, and Tim Robbins.
Quote
And of course, Steve Gerber's original comic is a classic.
Agreed. Also, though maybe not as iconic, Destroyer Duck, of which I still have the original Gerber/Kirby issues from my comic-collecting days. Somewhere. I hope.
Can't say I'm familiar with the novelization, though it would have been published around the time I was big into movie novelizations.
Is it Legend?
Nope.

That's the late Robert Addie in the middle, of 'Robin of Sherwood' fame. Very sad that he died so young.
I seem to remember that it was a fairly bloody movie for it's time.

PS: Gribbler, if you sees this: German translation is done, but I'm wasted, going to send it over tomorrow (translating ballads to predefined rythms is fun and a total nightmare at the same time!!! :P).

Hint: The film is in SPANISH and is the first part of a TRILOGY (2nd and 3rd part are in English, although Same Director & Writer)
Well, then it's got to be El Mariachi, doesn't it?
Nope. Its a character drama.
Okay. Extinguishing this. It is Amores Perros and everyone should watch it. Next person who wants a turn, first come first... go?
Wait, how is Amores Perros part of a trilogy? 21 Grams and Babel are completely unrelated, are they not?
They are described and considered by director AGI as a trilogy. Trilogys dont have to be related- just look at LvTs Golden Heart trilogy

All right, let's wrap this up:

Kafka's Japanese twin with a bucket list :P
Well if you're going to show off, shouldn't you also take your turn?
Hehe! ARRRGH! Touche! ;)
But in all honesty, Snarky, I really wasn't trying to show off. I wanted to take part so baldy, but had to do some translating stuff.
So, the only thing I could do was drop stupid hints, to at least see the next entry! :-*
But fair's fair. I assume it's Kurosawa's 'Ikiru'. Only the swing gave it away, the other ones had me stumped.
Yes, it's Ikiru ("To Live"), generally regarded as one of Kurosawa's greatest movies.
I think it was guessable in principle from the first picture, even for someone who only knew it by reputation, what with the two guys in the foreground (Kurosawa regulars) and the hat, but of course there's a lot of confusing detail to filter out...
And I know it's tempting to hint when you don't want to answer for whatever reason. I've done it myself. But â€" at least to me â€" it does usually come across as showing off, and a way to get the "credit" for knowing the film without having to take on the work of posting the next screencap.
Makes perfect sense. No argument here. It just really is damn tempting, especially here in the rumpus arena.
To do some penance and out myself as a bit of an idiot, the next one is a guilty pleasure of mine! ;)
Ponch would probably call it a manly man's movie (And I'd add a lot of grunting on the side)!
Most people consider it utter 'not so good', but I really do like it for some reason.
[IMGzoom]http://i57.tinypic.com/13zbok9.png[/imgzoom]

edit: Predator! Carl Weathers and Arny showing off. I'm fairly certain.
In some way, I hope it's not. It wouldn't reflect well upon how I spent my childhood during the '80s.
Even considering all the garbage I watched during that time, identifying someone
by his biceps would still kind of disturb me a little, to be honest...:P
YES! The one and only - Arnie! :)
It's Predator alright.
Oh, well. This IS rather awkward. Thanks Gribbler! :P
But since we're in that era already, I think I know another one that you guys might like.
Screen shot will be up in a bit.

I was going for Dark Angel (I come in Peace!). But now I've to search for a new one.

Birdy?
Indeed, GarageGothic! Adaptation.
A script that is so meta it could kick it's own ass - like Chuck Norris.
But unlike Chuck Norris, it could even watch itself kick itself and so on... :P :=
Good guess too, but he's a bit too old for Birdy in this one. Besides, Birdy is 'deepest swamp'-80s. ;)
This one shares a common theme with Adaptation:

Let's see if this one doesn't do it:

PERMANENT MIDNIGHT?
BINGO!
(the reason for ALF being there - or a hybrid, non-copyright-invasive character known as Mr. Chompers - is that Jerry Stahl, whose auto-bio the movie is based on, used to write for ALF. In the movie he has horrible visions on heroin featuring Mr. Chompers)
Your last picture just gave it away, GG.

Nope, the movie has few to none sexual or erotic sequences.

Pshaw! My male side revolts, my female side is appeased. I'm very angrisfied with you, miguel. VERY, I tell ya! :=
[Disclaimer: not seriously gender related - just pure crystalline nonsense]
Hehehe! I normally go for fantastic divas from the golden age of movies when I post here, but this time I went for a movie I just watched and scared the hell out of me!
Hint: It's recent, the main actor name starts with E.

Oculus?
Miguel, what happened to the previous picture of the naked/topless woman getting out of a box backwards all contorted?
Not oculus.
Ryan, it's a little boy having a nightmare. Their parents found him inside the box.
I can't post pictures right now but it's 2012 movie and the director is an expert on exorcisms.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green?

Lmao. It certainly wasn't. ;)
Glad I managed to clarify that to you, Ryan.
Here's another shot:

Oh, it's Sinister! With Ethan Hawke.
Yup!

Eraser?
Nope.
John Carpenter's 'Vampires'? ...wild guess.
Or, 'North Sea Hijack'? ...that watch looks like made for the ocean and somehow commando-style?
Not Vampires.
Quote from: Tramponline...that watch looks like made for the ocean and somehow commando-style?
You're getting very close! Of all people here, Tramp, you SHOULD know the title of that movie as I'm sure you watched it dozens of times :D
Commando!
YES!

Or, 'North Sea Hijack'? ...that watch looks like made for the ocean and somehow commando-style?
I had it FIRST! :=
Spoiler
...mutter...mumble...did too...:tongue:...nah, OK, didn't...
To be honest, I loath Commando from the bottom of my heart! (nod)
As soon as you wrote "commando-style" and Gribbler said it was "very close!", I HAD to check IMDb for a photo of his watch. Here's a fun fact: Commando is my girlfriend's absolute favorite movie of all time! (I thought it was stupidly 80s, but don't tell her I said that :=) Her favorite line is: "What happened to Sully?" "I let him go."
Here's the next movie, I'll stick with the same generation:

Quote from: Ryan Timoothy on Wed 14/05/2014 21:36:13
"What happened to Sully?" "I let him go."
To be honest, that line is funny. I might have to re-watch it at some point...
Yes sir!
Thank you sir!
The next one, a sleeper in it's time, an incredible cult-classic in my book.
I re-watch it ever so ofton, it never seems to lose any of it's edge. That's incredibly rare.
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/IC840Tf.png[/imgzoom]
Protagonist/s not in the shot...
Assault On Precinct 13? I remember that has a young girl/ice-cream van scene, but this doesn't look right...
What makes it look wrong? ;-D
It's dead on target! Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 it is!
A last shot for some 70s groove & vibe:
(http://i.imgur.com/JwWz0Df.png)
That music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS7k3G_6IjE) gives me chills every time. Who'd have thought synthesizer can sound THAT good.
In Carpenter's hands it does (he ususally composes the main themes for his movies).
-snip-
Oops, sorry about the delay! Be with you in the next hour or so...
The reason I thought it looked wrong, btw, was that it actually didn't look that much like an ice-cream van on closer inspection, plus his shirt just looked too damn cheery for someone about to

Anyway, here's mine. The only immediate link is that they're both ice-cream-centric scenes:

Anyway, here's another similarity/hint. Both movies have cheerleaders.
Damn. Good shots! I know that movie, but I can't wrap my head around it.
Is it any way related to witches / witchcraft somehow? (frogs?)
For some reason I seem to have that association in my head.
No clue why though.

OK. Got it know.
But I cheated. I remembered the actor (left in 1st shot) from several other movies, but had to look up his name & filmography.
Can't even figure out when I watched this one - just remembered the scene where they bend down for some reason.
I think I mistook surrealism for magic somehow! :P

Correct! The actress in the first pic should be fairly recognisable too.
Awww, nobody got it. It was But I'm a Cheerleader! I'm going to hand the conch shell over to Tramponline, as he was close to guessing even though he cheated ;-).
Appreciate the gesture. ;-D But since I did cheat & because I'm swamped with work ATM, let's declare it an open

No no, I meant to say if you want to post a hard or tough to guess movie still you have to record with your phone a random bird flying outside your window, make a screenshot out of it and post it here. :D
It's a wisdom of crowds thing. I haven't known any of the ones since my last turn (though I knew enough of the actors that I could work out "But I'm a Cheerleader" -- oh, and "Lost Highway"), but if you have a dozen people playing along, usually
someone will know it. And then you have Tramponline, who knows nearly everything.

Yeah, the scene seemed vaguely familiar, and young women farming usually = cult, so there you go. Great movie. John Hawke and Elizabeth Olsen are excellent.
I think this one's pretty much a gimme, but I've been wrong before:
(http://i.imgur.com/TnTSh1fl.png)
Guess the rest of you don't watch the same movies I do. :~(
If you don't get it from this one it's safe to say you won't get it at all:
(http://i.imgur.com/pN4vRZll.jpg)
I knew it from the first one, it's The Extraordinary Adventures Of Adele Blanc-Sec (with awesome French gratuitous nudity)!
(I was actually going to guess But I'm A Cheerleader just as a joke when Gurok said it had a cheerleader in it, dammit.)
Will hopefully have a new one for you folks in 24 hours.
Phew! You're right. Based on the comic by Tardi.
And the nudity may be slightly gratuitous (though it's a scene taken pretty much straight from the comic), but I think American-style gratuitous non-nudity â€" with L-shaped bed covers, coy camera angles and people who never take their clothes off during sex â€" is far more distracting. I wish we could go back to the seventies (or even early eighties), when mainstream movies would integrate nudity naturally, when appropriate.
Wow, had no idea there was an Adele movie. Used to read them off the adult comics section in the library as a kid. Is it a good movie though? Which book did they film? From the screenshot I assume it's the pterodaktyl story.
It's... OK, but not really in the same league as the comic. It's directed by Luc Besson, and he's added in some rather broad slapstick/scatological comedy, toned down the violence, and turned Adèle into a more conventional action-comedy heroine, so that many parts of the film seem targeted at kids in the 10-12 age range (though I would guess they would be bored by some of the other segments).
The best thing about it is Louise Bourgoin as Adèle, which is somewhat surprising since she was a model/weathergirl without real acting experience when she was cast.
The film is very loosely based on Adèle et la bête (the pterodactyl story) and Momies en folie (the one with the mummies).
Thanks for the info. Will have to track down a copy if it's Luc Besson. Strange I never heard about it, I watch a lot of comic book films.

Yeah, I totally agree. It was surprising, at any rate!
Okay, here's the next one. It has an indirect link to the previous one, which you MUST ALSO GUESS AT.
(http://i.imgur.com/A2ybksK.png)
The Fifth Element?
No, but it is a spaceship in a film with French comic book influences (which is also the indirect connection to Adele Blanc Sec - I almost did The Fifth Element but thought it would be too easy).
Barbarella, maybe?
That's it! Jane Fonda climbs out of that opening porthole a moment later.
OK, I thought I'd try something a little different, and post a short clip instead of a still frame:
[imgzoom]http://i.cubeupload.com/ooTPzJ.gif[/imgzoom]
(This was also an excuse to learn how to make GIFs from a video. I've cropped it a little, BTW, so there'd be at least the pretense of a challenge.)
Top Secret?
Indeed it is!
(http://i.imgur.com/IzPkFSk.png)
That looks like Lou Ferrigno, so Incredible Hulk (though he didn't play human Banner, obv)?
It's Lou but not from Hulk.
I have no idea about the movie, but I think my grandparents had the exact same wallpaper.

I don't think it is, but is it 'supersize me'?
Beyond The Mat - it is also a documentary. About muscular peeps, ie wrestlers. I got the link? That is Droz puking infront of Vince, the boss of the WWE.

It's a film from 1961. The main character is a reporter.

Resisting urge to say "A Scanner, Lightly"... (roll) (I bet Ponch is resisting the urge to say "Bladerunner"!)
By "The other one", I take it there's another movie shot in a similar style also based on a Philip K. Dick story?
It's the other Linklater movie, Waking Life.
yep, it's the other linklater movie in rotoscoping, waking life.
I guessed the movie only thanks to CaptainD. I pass my turn to him. Take it away, D! :)
Thanks Gribbler!
Okay, this one might be easy, but it might be really obscure, I'm not sure. (The actor in the still is not the lead in this movie btw, though both he and his character here are kinda memorable.)

It certainly is. :cheesy:

(Glad to see someone else who liked Hannibal Brooks - I saw it a number of times when I was younger, it was one of those rare movies that everyone in the family enjoyed.)
Nope.
Barefoot in the Park?
haha no!
Here's another clue, it's from the intro scene:
(http://i.imgur.com/Pr7RCkX.png)
Just a random guess. Consider that jewelry (robbery?) is involved and it doesn't look like a recent film, one of those Pink Panther films?
It's not related to any Pink Panther film sorry ;)
But the opening credits is indeed a cartoon about jewelry theft...
AND it is an oldie :-D
I've never seen it, but my immediate thought was Hitchcock/Grant, so combined with that intro grab, I'll gof for "To Catch A Thief".
That's a good taste guess Ben X... but not the correct answer sorry!
I guess the third and final clue shot will be posted soon.
Here's a hint though: It's starring Natalie Wood.
Penelope?
Natalie Wood? I do recognise this... oh hey it's not Penelope is it?
EDIT - Ah, I see Gribbler got there first. Liked this movie. ;-D
Gribbler You got it a couple of minutes before CaptainD (laugh)

Both screens look vaguely like they might have been from Batman Begins, but you'd have to think someone would have recognized it by now.
Faust?

Or at least had a stab in the dark! Either the popularity of this thread is waning, or I'm one of only a handful of people to have seen this particular movie...which, given it's quality, is quite possible.

Correct! Faust: Love of the Damned. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0223268/?) Brian Yuzna's
Fantastic Factory made a bunch of Spanish-funded genre films in the early to mid 2000s, all of which have the unique distinction of being interesting without actually being good. Score!
LimpingFish that was an awesome movie choice! the soundtrack is packed with greatness as well. the 3rd screenie was the most obvious for me.
me turn:

Is that an eyeball in a mason jar on a picnic table? That's so cliché it's almost the lens flare of cinema. Thus it is impossible to guess which of the thousands of movies that use this story telling device the particular movie you are thinking of is: you'll have to be more specific.
Alrighty then :)

No it's no Kill List :-\
Borderland?
If you're a fan of horror movies, this one shouldn't be too hard. Made by a well-known cult director.

Maybe it could be an idea to get those gore pics in a hide tag? :p

I'm just guessing because I

2 weeks have
passed. Not as easy as you think it seems.
That looks a bit like John Astin, but if it is him, I can't immediately figure out which film it could be.
I honestly though it was going to be much easier, since it should be a well-known cult movie.
Anyway, the guy in the picture is Joe Spinell.
I feel like I should know that film, but nothing really clicks...
Anyway, I'll shoot: Maniac ?
Blade Runner?
Weird Science?
Ahhh. It feels like coming home. :grin:

Looks like 60s stuff. Is it one of those early Kurt Russell films?
I'm going to guess...Sssss?
bbbbbbbb?
LimpingFish, I'll give two ss discount (It's Sssssss), and it's your turn, good guess. :)
Yay! I've only ever seen Sssssss once, when I was about 12, but I remember it ends with the hero, now fully transformed into a cobra, losing a fight to a Mongoose! And that the hero was played by Face from the A-Team!
Anyhoo...

Uhm... this is weird, I was pretty sure I had replied to Gurok and even added an hint... but post is nowhere to be seen.:~(

Silhouette reminds of Jeff Bridges, and the atmosphere of a drama/thriller type of movie. But I have no guess.

The pic with the thing hanging from the cliffside reminds me of Mama, and I think there were moths in it, too, but I don't remember that face being in it. The first pic doesn't ring any bell, either.
Boom!
Mama it is! ;-D
Spoilers:Spoiler
The first image is from the scene where the children's uncle is looking for the bridge he saw in a dream. The second image is from the scene where Jessica Chastain's character dreams about Mama's child. And the third image is from the scene where Mama possesses the children's aunt. Hooray!
Okay. Wow. I think Mama is quite a forgettable movie, then.
Next:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_29.png)
Bomb Runner
The Hunt for Blue October
Godzilla (1999)?
No, no and no.
Hint: This movie is related to Mama.
Papa
To be honest, I didn't see that one coming ^^
But no, it's not Papa. :P
Original Mamá?
No.
Another clue:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_30.png)
That's The Devil's Backbone, isn't it?
Yeah! The director Guillermo del Toro was one of the producers of Mama.
Your turn!
Very vaguely connected:
(http://i.imgur.com/JhftE06.jpg)
Jodorowsky's Dune?
Never seen it, but I'd rather see the actual move than the documentary about it anyways.
Yes it is. See the documentary, it's fun. Jodorowsky is such a madman, but everyone seems to like him (even his son is remarkably chill about all the crazy stuff he was put through). I wouldn't hold out much hope for the "actual movie" given that in Jodorowsky's mind it would run "12 hours! 20 hours!" and most of the cast he had in mind are dead.
But they produced a stunningly beautiful pitch document for potential studio partners, in the form of a printed, several-hundred page book full of designs and storyboards by Moebius, Chris Foss and HR Giger, and SFX proposals by Dan O'Bannon. That would be the Holy Grail. I suspect the rights situation is complicated, though. (The estate of Jean Giraud sued the documentary for showing his storyboards and using them as the basis for little animatronic sequences, and the Herbert Ltd. Partnership are famously dickish.)
Blade Runner.
almost forgot... here is a new one.
(http://i.imgur.com/nCRC30X.png)
At last something I recognise anddd.. nope, it's gone.. I can't remember what it is..

Addams family?
Greetings, my friends! Based only on the secret testimonies of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal, I'm gonna guess: Plan 9 from Outer Space?
Can you prove that it didn't happen?
Both guesses incorrect!
Seriously? Wait, were you being sneaky and using a Plan Nine-scene from Ed Wood?
Ha ha, yes I was! Snarky gets it!
(The connection is that Jeffrey Jones was in Ed Wood.)
Why I oughtta... !
OK, here's something very vaguely connected:
(http://i.imgur.com/bCHbprF.jpg)
Isn't that "Fitzcaraldo"? (hope I spelled it right).
The episode where they found an abandoned train in the jungle.
Sure is! I always felt sorry for that conductor who'd been waiting for them to come back and finish the railroad, and then when they finally return it's just to take away the rails to use in another, even more hare-brained scheme.
The connection is that Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski also recreated an old black-and-white vampire movie, in their version of Nosferatu.
Quote from: Snarky on Tue 11/11/2014 21:59:37

Uh, I've seen only two Herzog's movies, another being "Aguirre".
Too bad I've already posted "Aguirre" here before, so let's play the "vague connection" game to a different direction :).
(http://i.imgur.com/k8vW3za.jpg)
somehow fargo, but it probably isnt.
I'm guessing The Thing because horror remake.
EDIT: this is so wrong. There are trees in the shot for goodness' sake!
I'll go for A Simple Plan instead, but I can't see the link.
Not "Fargo", not "The Thing", nor "A Simple Plan".
Silly hint:
Spoiler
These movies are "connected" by the notable object appearing in both. :tongue:
Runaway train?
Is it ever going back, or is it the wrong way on a one-way track? :~(
I give up my turn to anyone who wants :-)
Here's one, and it has a link to Snarky's previous post:

Neither of the top two billings for this movie are in this screen.
I do know this movie, though if you recognize all of the actors in the image (yes, including Ned Beatty!) it shouldn't be too hard to deduce, via IMDB.
Favourite lines in the movie:
Character A: "What are they doing?"
Character B: "They're shooting up your house!"
Both of these characters are in the screen above.
Another screen then...

DOWN WITH LOVE (2003)
Only got this by checking IMDB for David Hyde Pierce.
Heh, I was kind of expecting someone to guess Frazier, The Movie :P
Okay, you're up!
I wish people posted about sci-fi movies starring Harrison Ford except Star Wars.

This should be an easy one :)
Pink Panther in Space, obviously.
Blare Runner? :P
(No, seriously... is this the guy who makes eyes?)
Isn't that Robert de Niro in Brazil?
Yep, Brazil is the right answer. Over to you Snarky.
I've already used almost every movie I have on my computer (that I can get a snapshot from; damn you iTunes for not letting me take screencaps!), but here's one:
(http://i.imgur.com/bYvDhNK.png)
Horny Necrophiliac Marine II?
No takers? Well, here's another screen:
(http://i.imgur.com/lg3DYEo.png)
Is it perhaps Beau Travail (1999)?
Way to go Tramponline! It is indeed.
Sweet.
Next up:
(Sorry about the blurriness, it couldn't be helped.)

Edit: Uhh!? 8-0...Not even a wildcard or mock guess?! Not even you, Ponch!!?
A non-mocking Rumpus Room is almost blasphemous! Tss Tss (wrong)(wtf)...
Some hints:
- The shot is from the prologue of the film (i.e. it's somewhat misleading)
- Main character is not in the shot
- Glorious Technicolor!
This wasn't supposed to be difficult or obscure at all.
Maybe the next one is more revealing?
(http://i.imgur.com/p7C9PlB.png)
- A rather rare example where a production company garnered somewhat of a cult following.
- My image on this forum is a clue (..and I'm not talking about me being a drunken lout! :P).
Peter Cushing! Must be a Hammer horror movie :).
Okay, that was just flatout browsing his filmography to see if he had played Sherlock Holmes, and he did. And it's Hammer Studios as well. So my guess is the Hound of The Baskervilles vom 1959.
'Elementary! When you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!'
Excellent deduction work on your part, gentlemen! ;)
Crimson paved the way and nihilyst, with dogged pursuit, connected the do...dots.
The Hound it is. In lush Technicolor, a great treat for rainy days. Hammer managed to
gloss over the lack of funds with an impressive amount of atmosphere.
Watch it if you can *coughU-tubecough*!
Since it was kind of a joint venture, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide who's up next...
I don't have any films on my computer right now, so, Crimson, you may proceed with a new one :D
Here you go

Is "The Blue Parrot" a movie? Well, it's not it anyway.
Hint: the movie story takes place in Europe.
Rio - mechanical edition?

Actually, yes there is. :)
I thought it for fun and the googled it, and found that there was a movie called juts that. Even though as pretty sure it wasn't it (movie is like from 53!), I figured I would shot it anyway just for the fun of it. (laugh)
I do have the feeling that I have seen that scene before, maybe a murder/mystery type of movie?

Is that "Open Water"?
Should've posted a screenshot from Alive. :=
Based on what IMDB's synopsis of
Open Water, am going to guess that it's not...
I did however seen that movie (or a documentary) not too long go, cause I remember that scene. But what I can't remember (if I ever knew it, as I often tend to start watching movies half way on TV) is the name of the movie.... (laugh)
EDIT: Okay, after goggling "
movie 6 friends jump on the water and can't return to the boat" <- what I remember as being the plot, I found this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470055/reviews (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470055/reviews)... And this leads me to conclude that the movie is:
Spoiler
Open Water 2: Adrift
So great guess Quintaros! (nod)
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sat 18/04/2015 21:55:10
"movie 6 friends jump on the water and can't return to the boat"
Should've called the movie "Six Darwin Award Winners"...
I mean...seriously...For the whole movie I would be thinking "Good riddance!"...
Open Water 2: Adrift is correct. I actually liked this movie, and is on Netflix right now.

Until the end of the world?
Believe it or not, Lisbon isn't at the end of the world. (laugh) So, no.
Okay... clues: It's written & directed by W.W. and it's from 1994.
Dead on clue:
Spoiler
Part of the title's name is written on the postcard.
I guess it's Wim Wenders' A Lisbon Story".
Good guess! :-D
your turn.
Well you pretty much gave away the store with clues on that one.
Here's mine:
(http://i.imgur.com/GlxG7hQ.png)
Here's another image from the same movie:
(http://i.imgur.com/TGw9JII.png)
Hmm, that looks like it might be Catch 22?
That's correct.
Cool.
This is a film I vividly remember seeing at my local movie theater as a kid:
(http://i.imgur.com/6HuMxMd.jpg)
Is it Shipwrecked? Of course, you say you vividly remember it and I can just barely remember it, so maybe not.
It is! Starring the great Gabriel Byrne. Though in Norway it's called Haakon Haakonsen.
And being a Norwegian co-production, I'm sure it was a much bigger deal where I grew up than it was in Canada. (Unless I'm completely misremembering, I think we took a class trip to the cinema to see it.)
In fact, the bit I remember most vividly isn't even in the movie, but only in the book: A guy shipwrecked on a reef builds a raft just out of the bodies of dead sharks he hunts with only a knife, tied together with shark guts. Now that's a kickass adventure game puzzle!
Back in 1990, I was a cyncial kid and resisted seeing anything released under the Disney banner. I recall watching this one under duress and only begrudgingly admitting it was pretty good afterwards. I had completely forgotten of its existence until today but as soon as I looked it up on IMDB and saw that it had a Norwegian connection I thought I might be on the right track.
What year was the book written? Was Alan Moore riffing on it when he included the raft scene from Tales of the Black Freighter comic in Watchmen?
The book was originally published in 1873, as a pretty typical robinsonade (the subtitle is simply "A Norwegian Robinson"). I don't think it's ever been translated into English, so the chance of Moore having read it is pretty negligible. More likely it's just a matter of having a similar idea independently â€" unless they're both based on some other source (real-life or fictional).
The novel is out of copyright and available here (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251182) in epub format (in Norwegian). The scene in question is in the chapter "Howell og Nelsons mannskap."
It's technically Quintaros' turn, but since he hasn't jumped in I'll throw out another one:
(http://i.imgur.com/ZBJmSSd.jpg)
No guesses? OK, here's another screencap:
(http://i.imgur.com/Pty2IWI.jpg)
Hint: It's a recent film, not American.
OK, another one, then:
(http://i.imgur.com/wPN5jjc.jpg)
As you might glean from the frame, it's a Korean movie.
No? OK, here's one last screencap and hints:
(http://i.imgur.com/mnYsUay.jpg)
It's a 2014 Korean dark-comedy/thriller about a dirty cop having a hard day after he runs over a pedestrian and has get rid of the body, while dealing with lots of other complications. That should be pretty googleable.
All right, let's put this one out of its misery. I have not seen this movie but I do recognize the actor on the left in your last screenshot so am able to find a 2014 credit that matches your description: "A Hard Day".
Thank you! (It was actually your turn anyway, so take it away!)
Quote from: Snarky on Thu 21/05/2015 17:45:33
Thank you! (It was actually your turn anyway, so take it away!)
Yeah, I had one all planned out last time before you scooped me too! I'll post it later tonight.
Here's a new one:

Another clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/1G16lQg.png)
I'm guessing...Piranha?
The quarry looks like it is from Breaking Away. I'm not so sure that the other shot is in Breaking Away, but I guess it might be part of the pan sequence on the rainy day, where the dad was inside the car dealership office, and the boy was oustide on the bike riding the rollers. Might be wrong, however.
Breaking Away is correct. The first shot is from when the father returns for a visit to the stone cutting mill.

"I want some American food. I want French Fries."
I continue to have some problems uploading images, so if someone wants to steal this round from me -- feel free. Otherwise, I'll try to get something up later today.
I've just about convinced myself that the first time I saw this movie, it was on the mess decks while serving aboard a ship that was only slightly larger than the one in the picture?
The movie actually has two titles. It was released in Europe with a different title. How my ship managed to get the European titled movie, I have no clue. We did make a port visit to Plymouth, England, but I don't think we swapped any flicks with the Limeys while we were there. ;-)
Is it "You're in the Navy Now"?
Yes. The other title, in Europe, was something along the lines of "Operation Teakettle." Well done.
Filmed in my province:
(http://i.imgur.com/bsaZdpH.png)
Looks like "Unforgiven".
Is it Legion?
"Unforgivin" is right.

Evil Dead 2?
No!
My Name Is Bruce?

Nope, and since you've gone through the obvious red herrings I had in mind, here's another:

Congo? You said classic, not "classic".
I unabashedly love cheesy 90s adventure movies (your Stargates, Rocketeers and Shipwreckeds, as well as later films in the same spirit such as The Core). Congo has Bruce Campbell, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, a talking gorilla and a young Laura Linney frantically stuffing raw diamonds into a laser gun to fight off killer apes. Of course it's a classic!
Yeah "classic" threw me off the trail as well.
Well hot piss. I was only half-joking when I posted that answer. := I'll go and find an appropriate picture to post now.

new one:

Inside Man?
nope.
Voyages of The Enterprise?
First guess was Inception, but the car on the right wasn't in that. Hmmmm, Gone In 60 Seconds?
The car is indeed the main character's car, but no correct guesses by now.

You mean I was actually going to guess one for once not knowing for sure if I was right and I was, but I got to the party too late. SNAAAAAAAKE!!!
I can't find anything interesting right now, I would like to pass my turn to anyone who willing to post.

Hm, doesn't look like any movie I've ever seen. Ummm, The Secret Of Kells?
Close, but wrong.
Fantastic Mr Fox
No. That's even a step back from Akago's guess.
My friend Imdub says it might be Song of the Sea?
Yep, that's it. :)

Nope, not fantasy-related.
Another screenshot form the same movie:

It's not a Bond movie but it was released the same year as The Man with the Golden Gun.

Dark City, Snarky? CORRECT! I love this film!

Sunshine?
Serenity
Event Horizon?
Wild guess.. Alien Ressurection?
Ben X got it: Event Horizon.
Yessss!
Okay, this one might be a little tough. There are two reasons Snarky's made me think of this one, extra points if you can guess them:

Is it Repo Man?
Idle Hands, because the previous screenshot was of a hand? That's the only connection I can think of :P

Er, Jaws 2?
Not even sure I've seen Jaws 2,3, and 4.
Ha ha, no, it's a little sillier than the Jaws films!
Hint: it has a very appropriate connection to the previous film.
Just going for the obvious but:
Sharknado?
No, this movie is almost 30 years earlier! (Plus it has that "appropriate connection" to The Miami Connection.)
Was it James Cameroon's director debut?
(But no, I think that film didn't have sharks...)
You're thinking of Piranha 2, I think! No, that's not it.
No one has even guessed at the connection yet! What would the most appropriate connection to a film called The Miami Connection be?
I was holding off answering, since I haven't got a movie to replace it with to hand.
The answer is Police Academy 5: Something, something...MIAMI!
Now to find something to upload.???
Assignment Miami Beach!

I can confirm that, yes, it totally was "
Spaceballs".
I mean..."
Jason X".
My first guess for Ponch's go is Spaceballs
Hannibal Lecter in Space?
As soon as I'm done with OROW, I'll get a new screenshot up. :smiley:
Or you could just confirm it was Spaceballs and let me have my go already.

LimpingFish is probably right, but in case he isn't: The Raid?
Dredd it is! Secret shame time: I love both versions of Judge Dredd equally for entirely different reasons. :cheesy:

Anaconda AKA Reverse Waterfall World?
Or Indiana Jones in the whatever Nazi conspiracy?
Snakes On A Plane?
Judge Dredd?
Prince of Persia.
I'm sure. I didn't sleep that night :-[
AnasAbdin is correct! It was Prince of Persia, a not-so-bad, but not-so-great, video game adaptation!

cliff...hanger?
Does he look like hanging? :-D
nope.
"The Big Blue" in English, or "Le Grand Bleu" in French?
No, non.
Clue two
(http://i.imgur.com/qKri4vG.jpg)
Wild guess... Puncture?
Wow! I can't believe you actually got it so..... wrong :P
:-D :-D
Limitless? From when he looks at the book she's carrying in her purse/bag?

This one will likely be easy:

oh, it's
UP
Project X?
Air Bud: Death From Above?
(http://i.imgur.com/LKAKhfQ.png)
Marabunta? (or what ever it's written... goes on to IMDB to check spelling).
EDIT: Okay, there seems to be two... but I'll go with my first guess: The Naked Jungle (1954)
Blue Velvet?
THEM?
None of those mentioned so far. But Blue Velvet is a good guess since the ants are about as significant to this movie as in that.
Uhm... guess by your hint that it's not this one then: Legion of Fire: Killer ants
Serial Mom? (I seem to VERY vaguely recall that there are some ants at a picnic that serve as her excuse for one of the murders...)
Not Serial Mom.
Another screenshot:

Top Gun?
Nope.
The Tree Of Life?
Not the Tree of Life, either.
Here is a more substantial clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/pMECCq5.png)
Those are the stiffest most unimpressed limbo pole holders I've ever seen.
Good observation. Totally accurate to the scene. "It's too early to dance."
Still no clue. Is that Laura Linney in the background?
I dunno, but I think that's Judge Reinhold on the left holding the limbo pole, and maybe Heather Graham in the middle behind the guy in uniform?
Edit: Could it be Stripes?
No Stripes is regular army not navy.
Not Judge Reinhold or Heather Graham but the four leads are on screen in that shot.
Final clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/zYRASBP.jpg)
Oh, it's Chris Eigeman! That probably means a Whit Stillman movie ... and Spanish... so it's got to be Barcelona, yeah? (I think that's the only one of his I haven't seen.)
That's right. And totally worth seeing. My favourite of Stillman's films.
I definitely should, as I love all of his other projects (I was gutted that Amazon didn't pick up The Cosmopolitans).

I don't if you're joking but my sources tell me that ain't Arabic.
I'm getting a Brazil vibe..?
I think all the food in Brazil just looked like coloured mounds of mash-potatoes.
Potential clues: the diner wearing black gloves; the initials on the plates. I still have no idea, though!
I think I will post another screenshot. I will try to be as mysterious as possible again, while giving out more info about the character :D.

Hehe, this is almost true, at least for the first half of the movie.
Oh well, it looks like this is a dead end.

IMDB gave me the answer, but I have to admit I'd never heard of this movie. That's the catch with this game, I suppose. If you choose a popular movie, everybody will get it. If you go obscure, nobody will know.:-\

Becoming aware of an obscure movie is part of the appeal. I've skipped over The Best Offer in the Netflix catalog many times without giving it much consideration. Now that it's shown up here, I take it as an implicit endorsement and may give it a watch.

Yes, this is "The Best Offer" with Geoffrey Rush in the main role.
Okay, if LimpingFish doesn't want to claim it I'll go.
Should be an easy one:
(http://i.imgur.com/8sxDcxC.png)
Well the obvious guess is Das Boot... so, that?
Maybe that was too easy.
Well, they don't all have to be tough.
Here's one with an interesting story to it...
(http://i.imgur.com/ebLTKH0.jpg)
Is it Gaslight, the 1940 version?
The Dapper Adventures of Moustache McFogg, Gentleman Crimefighter? :cheesy:
No, this guy's the villain, Ponch.
Quote from: nihilyst on Mon 28/09/2015 00:53:02
Is it Gaslight, the 1940 version?
Wow, I'm impressed! Yes indeed. The movie was remade four years later, and MGM made it a condition when they purchased the rights that all the copies of the older version should be destroyed. Although some survived, it wasn't generally available in any form until Ted Turner got the rights and managed to track down a copy, presumably some time in the 1990s. Say what you will about colorization, that man has done film history many a good service!
Vague link to the previous one: Jürgen Prochnow from
Das Boot was in
Dune with José Ferrer, who in the 1930s played this same part in the Broadway production of
Gaslight.
Got lucky there. Had seen Gaslight (1940) on TV last year and was quite intrigued by it, so I did a bit of background research and found out about the other version. What gave it away now was the low contrast quality which made parts of the film hard to watch. I recommend it, though. How does it compare to the 1944 version?
New one:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_38.png)
I only watched bits of it. I actually meant to watch the 1944 version â€" someone was talking about Bergman in it â€" but I didn't look too carefully and got the 1940 version by mistake. Then I was confused when the opening titles played, and did more research..
As for this one, I don't recognize it, but maybe you also watched Rick & Morty and got to thinking... The Purge?
It's not the Purge, although most of the film also takes place in a house.
The Amityville Horror?
Way more recent.

Avalon?

Children Of Men?
No
Another clue:
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_03.jpg)
It's from Immortal (Ad Vitam) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314063/), an enjoyable, if weird, slice of Gallic sci-fi. It was directed by Enki Bilal, and adapted from his Nikopol comics (which are also worth checking out!).
I'd also recommend checking out Bunker Palace Hotel, an earlier film from Bilal, if you can find it a copy.
Correct.
It will probably be forever associated with AGS in my mind, because I was playing AGS games at the time I first watched it.
Huh. I think I was under the impression that Immortal was all-CGI, but I guess that explains why the caps looked so familiar even though I definitely hadn't seen the movie.
Quote from: Snarky on Tue 13/10/2015 03:05:08
Huh. I think I was under the impression that Immortal was all-CGI...
Understandable, since there's a number of all-CG characters in the movie.
Truth be told, some of the human CG characters, while highly stylized, have dated quite badly. I like the film, though, and fans of weird European sci-fi,
à la Metal Hurlant, will get a kick out it.
Those interested can view the trailer on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdtUbFCbp1A). :)

Day After Tomorrow?
Jeez, I had no idea that this type of movie was so common.. the amount of different movies that show up under a Google search for "disaster movie ice" is staggering... :-\
Iron Sky?
Oblivion?
Nope, nope and nope.
I know it isnt't that but this looks like an actual cloud atlas to me :=
Give us a new one!
Ah! Yeah that's Noah!
I knew i've seen that in the last months.
Hm. Gotta think hard about my next choice for you guys.
Kumpel, (checking by cheating) this movie isn't what you've said it was.
This is Noah, cheating or not :-\

Beautiful Monkeys? Twelve Girls?
The Jacket?
The Jacket (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366627/) is correct!
It's funny: after the first image I had a vague feeling it might be The Butterfly Effect, but couldn't quite make it fit (too wintry). But my brain must have somehow associated the scene with "time-travel movie" even if it couldn't place it exactly or bring the correct title to mind. The brain is weird...
(http://i.imgur.com/Nz3xi28.jpg)
(I grabbed the screenshot from a trailer, so the subtitles don't/may not actually match any dialog from this scene of the film.)
No? Maybe this will help:
(http://i.imgur.com/chw1cct.jpg)
Well, I had actually already got it by googling that subtitle, but I think that kind of method goes against the spirit of the game, so I left it to see if anyone would actually recognise it.
However, now you've shown Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, I would have got it anyway: Headhunters! Excellent Norwegian thriller based on a Jo Nesbø novel.
Yup, with Jaime Lannister hunting astronaut Vogel!

I believe that second image is in the trailer, or I saw a clip on Film '-SomethingSomething on the BBC back in the day. Could be a mixture of both! A lot of pointless guff sticks in the back of my mind, especially when it comes to films.(nod)

Nope, somewhat older and a lot more obscure.
The face is one of the 20th century's most lauded American film directors, and occasional actor, if that helps. He did not direct this particular film, though.

After discounting the ones I would instantly recognise, this led me to try out John Huston. It seemed from other photos that this was indeed him (I didn't recognise him from Chinatown), so I took a look at his acting resume and found... The Visitor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitor_(1979_film))! It sounds utterly bizarre, so I'll try to watch it at some point.
Assuming I'm correct, here's my one. It has a link to the previous one and I suspect it's pretty easy:

Hooray! You are indeed correct. It was "The Visitor", aka "Stridulum", and it's a film I urge everyone to watch. It's mad as a bag of spanners, but it also has an astoundingly funky soundtrack, a little girl attempting to
garrote her mother, a strawberry-blonde Space Jesus, a cast of Hollywood legends, and Lance Henriksen!

No
I'm going to take an absolute stab in the dark and say Upstream Color in the hope that you'll give some verbal clues!
No, but I can say the film has been described as Kafkaesque.

You have distressed Creepy Android Head.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_09.jpg[/imgzoom]
I have no idea what the movie is but I'm gonna keep watching the thread because now I really want to see it!
The supporting cast is like a short list of all my favourite B-movie actors.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_10.jpg[/imgzoom]
Damn, I was sure more people had seen this than the last film I posted.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_11.jpg[/imgzoom]
pictures of your freezer content won't help us! (wtf)
I'd never heard of it, but the film is Paranoia: 1.0 (originally One Point O, also known as 1.0, One Point Zero, Version 1.0, and Virus 1.0).
Here's one those last shots reminded me of:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/YplA0nz.png?1[/imgzoom]
Correct!
And thanks for pointing me to Upstream Colour :) I really liked it.
BTW if anyone finds the 16:9 version of One Point O, please let me know.
EDIT: Bedazzled?
Not Bedazzled!
In case anyone hadn't twigged, the reason I was reminded of this film is that it also has products with very basic descriptive labels.
Here's another pic anyway:

REPO
MAN
! :cheesy:
Ponch makes his triumphant return and gets it first time!
OMG! I just realised that Repo Man with its
Spoiler
car that when you open the trunk you get disintegrated
is very likely where Stephen King ripped off the story for "From A Buick 8" from... 8-0
He also said in On Writing that he got the idea from wandering around the back of a service station in the middle of nowhere and almost slipping into a stream. It occurred to him that he would have got carried away and no one would have looked for him for a fair while, his car sitting there unattended. And this led to From A Buick 8, apparently. But yeah, I bet Repo Man filtered in too, especially as King had already directed Emilio Estevez in another vehicle-related movie!

I knew the first bit, but never considered the second connection with "Maximum Overdrive" there...I still have a stalled Stephen King game in the works from that MAGS and this is great joke fuel...YOINK!

Dracula and the Pimple of Doom?
And having temporarily forgotten Peter Cushing's name, I found House of the Long Shadows, with Christopher Lee.
It's not "House of the Long Shadows". And to save anybody from naming all of the other Cushing & Lee collaborations, I'll say they are not the Holmes actors to whom I was referring.
Look like the Human Centipede :confused:

Interesting. I hadn't even observed the MAGS theme when I selected this entry.
I PM'ed Superkumi and he says to go ahead as he's unlikely to post in the next few days.

I don't really have another one at the ready at the moment. Why don't you go ahead Jack.

Scandinavian, yes.
Man on Fire? :=
(http://i.imgur.com/EGqvUTw.png)
Well it doesn't look like anyone is going to get this one on images alone. So some additional clues: It was a best foreign language Oscar winner and it was is famous director's final theatrical movie.
Well, I had to go through the list of winners and image seacrh the films of directors I knew, but I got it:
Ingmar Bergman's Fanny And Alexander.
Assuming I'm correct, here's mine. Two things:
It's pretty hard to get a shot of this film that doesn't immediately give it away!
This film has something in common with Fanny And Alexander, production-wise.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/uheNyhw.png[/imgzoom]
Correct. Yay.
Well, there's a spider, so: Kingdom of the Spiders?
EDIT: No, wait. Is it the gas station scene from Duel? Wasn't there a spider farm or something like that?
You got it before me :( ;) Your turn nihilyst
Indeed! The link was that Duel and Fanny And Alexander were both shot as tv movies then re-edited for theatrical release.
Next:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_45.png)
Amadeus?
No.
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_46.png)
No idea. Is it American?
(This thread really dries up when no one knows the movie and all we get is "no" over and over.)
It is an American movie which draws its plot from motifs of several well-known short stories. The two pictures I posted refer to two of these stories (and a third one would most likely give it away).
Got a suspicion this is an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, so after doing some research I'm guessing it's Lunacy.
Is it "Into the Woods"?
Of course this is just a wild guess, since I've yet to watch that film.
Amayirot is on the right track, but it's not a direct adaptation of his work.
Maybe a glimpse on the cast might help?
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_47.png)
The Raven?
That's it.
That was on my watchlist for ages but I never got round to it because I doubted it was worth watching. Is it any good?

I've watched it (on TV), it's a pretty decent film.
(http://i.imgur.com/x24n2kg.jpg)
The Mule?
Nope.
That looks like Keith Allen and the mum from This Is England. IMDB tells me they were both in:
Eddie The Eagle
That's the one! Great movie :)
Don't know much about it, just saw the cinema poster and groaned at the idea of it!
Not sure how easy this one is, but it has a link to the previous movie:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/oFJrkVN.png[/imgzoom]
Is that the Ralph Bakshi version of Lord of the Rings?
Ha ha, no, this is live-action.
Quote from: Ben X on Mon 29/02/2016 21:00:29

Hey, that was
partly live-action! :P
Okay, here's another shot:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/uQdCHLt.png[/imgzoom]
I just realised something interesting - this isn't LOTR, but the actor in the last shot is in the Hobbit movies...
Also, the link to the previous film is one of the things that led me to the correct answer.
No guesses for a film that stars either Keith Allen or Jo Hartley, and a Hobbit actor, plus features someone in the woods with a hacksaw, and said Hobbit actor looking down at someone lying on the floor with a bloody knife in their shoulder?
Shallow Grave?
Yep, you got it! What gave it away?
If no one had guessed by now, my next clue would have been this:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/Edubu4x.png[/imgzoom]
Good film. Haven't seen it in years. To be honest I wouldn't have recognised even that third screen without the clues.

Red Dawn?
Oooh, good guess!
Not Red Dawn.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_30.jpg[/imgzoom]
Ahhhhhhh...it's the Aussie version .... cought...ripoff?... of Red Dawn:
"Tomorrow, When the War Began."
The Hill's Hoist should have been a giveaway.
I've seen it at the video store but put it back on the shelf as it just looked like a ripoff. It is worth watching on its own merits?
Correct.
I haven't seen the original Red Dawn, but TWTWB was more memorable than the remake.
SWEET!
This one should be pretty easy:

wargames?
Nope.
hack the planet?
Looks like it might be either The Hunt for Red October, or Crimson Tide.
I was going to say Wargames, but someone already beat me to that, and apparently it wasn't.
So my guess is... Top Gun?
Not Hack the Planet, Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, or Top Gun.

Flight of the Navigator?

Wait a minute... is that Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel?
That's it.
It was the background of the pub in the last screenshot that gave it away.
Definitely a great film. :-D
I should probably watch it again sometime.
Ok, let's see if anyone can figure this one out.
(http://orig13.deviantart.net/34ca/f/2016/073/3/5/first_picture_by_danvzare-d9v39f7.png)

Nope.

Because no one's made a guess in such a long while, here's another screenshot, and hint.
This film was released in the mid eighties.
(http://orig15.deviantart.net/f5f2/f/2016/077/c/a/third_picture_by_danvzare-d9vjfu7.png)
Looks like a slasher, maybe a Jason. I'm going to go for F13 Pt 6: Jason Lives.
Yep, you got. Brilliant film. :-D
What gave it away?
Well, that's obviously a slasher film in the last pic, and mid-eighties plus his build led to the obvious guess of a Jason film. It looks too modern for 3, 4 had cabins not trailers and 5 ***SPOILERS*** didn't have Jason in, so I went for 6 although I don't think I've seen it!
EDIT: I just checked and realised that unless I'm getting muddled I did watch bits of 6 recently but I must have skipped a whole lot of it.
It might take me up to 24 hours to put up another film, hope that's okay...
Right here's one, with quite a strong link to the previous one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/EuiEL7n.png[/imgzoom]
Hudson Hawk?
No, good guess with the security guard and 90s decor though!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/O148Rtu.png[/imgzoom]
Police Academy?
That last shot looks good enough to be from an obscure FMV game :P
Sorry for the low quality - I may have to torrent the film to get better shots! But no, it's a proper movie and it's not Police Academy. Hint: both the actors shown so far are more recognisable in certain make-up/costume.
Hmmm. Robert Englund... Low production values... I'm going into the deep, dusty corners of my youth... Is that Strangelands?
Don't get distracted by the picture quality - that's just because I had to pull it from a crappy YouTube video. So no, not Strangelands, but that is Robert Englund.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare?
No, though Wes Craven was involved.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/hG5ojIw.png[/imgzoom]
EDIT: oh, the indirect link to the previous film is only evident in the first pic.
Ooh, Wes Craven... is it Wishmaster?
Correct! And the actors in the three pics above are Jason, Freddy and Candyman!
Yeah :) I remember reading about this movie a long time ago and somehow it just stuck. Will find a good movie screen soon.
Well, feast your eyes on this one.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/forest.png)
Where The Wild Things Are?
No, but this is an adaptation as well.
I don't know why, but it has a feel of Mumintrolls...
Probably because it is the only fantasy world I know where atmosphere is so serene that random small creatures rest at the road side like that. :)
And you would be right :D That's the latest animated movie, Moomins On The Riviera.
Um, does it mean I won? :p.
Sorry, I give away my turn.
Okay, I'll take it with an easy one:

Tremors?
Quote from: Gribbler on Wed 23/03/2016 13:40:23
Tremors?
Hahaha...nice try, but nope...
I'm hesitant to post another picture as a hint as I think I've discovered the only single frame of film in the whole movie that doesn't instantly give away the identity of this towering classic.
The Great Escape?
Dawn of the Dead?
Quote from: GarageGothic on Thu 24/03/2016 11:15:56
Dawn of the Dead?

I'll lets slide that you didn't specify "original" or "remake" as, let's face it: The original is the only
true DotD, although the remake is pretty good (but just an action-flick at heart).
Wow...That took longer than expected...What's wrong with you kids these days not knowing your classic rattenfrabbin' zombie movies...What they teachin' you in them fancy schools anyways?
Yay! :)
Let's try this one:

I believe that's David Niven in the wheely thing...so...erm..."The Brain" was it called? Don't remember exactly...only saw it once as a kid: He had a brain so big his head kept falling to one side if he forgot to conciously hold it straight...
Either that or a Pink Panther film...

Obviously it's the original. Just look at the film quality. It's clearly recorded with an old camera.
And you can't blame us for taking so long. You said so yourself, that it was the one shot that didn't instantly give away the film.
Now to guess the current film.
Hmm...
Dr. Who and the Daleks?
(Yeah, I doubt that, but hey, at least I'm guessing.)
Videodrome?
Casino Royale? (original)
The man in the picture is not David Niven, nor is the film any of those guessed at so far. I'll post another shot at the end of the day if nobody's guessed it.
The Naked Gun?
Heh, I knew I'd seen this film before. I would have been so annoyed, had I missed it.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
A truly original film.
*ding ding ding* Congratulations, we have a winner :) Jack Lucy is right, it's the wonderful cult classic The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
And just because we can, let's have a link to the awesome - and so 80's - end credits theme from the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe3dRw7ovhY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe3dRw7ovhY)
Hahahaha I saw that as a teenager with a mate when we were about 20 on VHS and we were like: WTF is going on in this INSANE movie?! We were befuddled but strangely entertained and started borrowing all the same cheesey looking B-movies from the same shelf. This movie didn't exactly kick off my lifelong love of B-movies, but it certainly fueled it.
(I'm currently re-reading "If Chins Could Kill" by Bruce Campbell for about the 5th time...If any fans of b-movies out there has not read this book yet I highly recommend it!!!)
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_34.jpg)
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_35.jpg)
Ahhhh...it's that classic M. Night Charlatan flick:
The What The Fuck Is Happening
I just realised that's a white prison cell in the first pic. Is this Manhunter, Michael Mann's adaptation of Red Dragon featuring Brian Cox as "Hannibal Lecktor"?
(I just did a quick search to make sure I got the right misspelling and it looks like that cell had bars, not a door, and brick walls, so I'm probably wrong .)
None of those, but luckily I have another pic to confuse Mandle further.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_36.jpg)
The Da Vinci Code?
Or it's sequel... Angels and Demons I think it was called.
Sin Eater?
Revolver (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365686/?ref_=nv_sr_1)
Yes.
(http://i.imgur.com/kH4DZB8.png)
Springtime For Stalin!
The Other Side of Midnight?
Nope and nope!
That does resemble Stalin though. If he were played by Tombstone era Kurt Russell.
Smokey and the Bandit?
Looks like John Hurt to me...
1984?
John Hurt was clean shaven and looking malnourished all through Nineteen Eighty Four.
Besides, that woman is clearly american. ;)
Should I provide a hint?
Another screenshot.

That rug is from Indiana Jones + the last crusade, but the actors are different :-\
What! Reusing props!? No way! 8-0
Uhm... I know both the actors, but not their names... or where I've seen them before. :-\
It looks exactly like Minnie Driver and Paul Hogan in an alternate universe where they switched hairdos.
The quality of the print and the content of the film seem anachronistic. It seems like classic high quality film. Are these production stills rather than screenshots?
Perhaps a hint, Darth?
I grabbed these from images.google so I'm not sure if they're production stills or screenshots!
A vague wishy-washy hint:
The woman in the both images was almost bitten once by a dumber vampire...
Love At First Bite?
Quote from: Mandle on Fri 08/04/2016 23:13:46Love At First Bite?
Negative!
I have had this theory that my buddy Tony and I are the only two people who remember this movie... I am beginning to think my theory may just be correct!
Supplemental Clue; my previous clue has nothing to do with the movie pictured in the screenshots (it relates to the actress' role in another movie).
Is there a time-limit where I have to just say what it is?
Jake Speed?
Quote from: Darth Mandarb on Tue 12/04/2016 14:58:15
Is there a time-limit where I have to just say what it is?
Nah, no time limit. Just keep giving more hints and screenshots. :-D
The actress looks really familiar, and I'm fairly sure I've seen the guy as well.
I think I might have seen the movie, but so far nothing's coming to mind.
Another clue please!
I just lost about 1,5 hour googling and IMDing and I'm still as clueless to what the movie is or who they are! >:(
My guesses: It's a cop/detective movie (based on his gun holster), he looks but is not Gene Wilder, and my brain keeps telling me I've seen her in a show or two.
Also, my brain is guessing "this scene is in a modern looking house, high on a cliff with big glass windows"?
Is the lady Karen Kopins?
Edit: and is the movie Jake Speed?
Edit 2: Quintaros beat me to it I see now.
Ack! No wonder I knew her face! she's been in "tons" tv shows I've seen, just not as main cast... and I did check half of those shows, but I only checked the first woman in the show. :-\
Never seen Jake Speed, as far as I remember anyway. (roll)
Quote from: Quintaros on Tue 12/04/2016 15:13:35
Jake Speed?
YES!
I'm really glad somebody got it!
And yes that's Karen Kopins. My clue, earlier, was in reference to her role in
Once Bitten with Jim Carrey.
I'm not going to have a chance to post a new movie for a few days so if GarageGothic wants my turn, it's his.
Quote from: Darth Mandarb on Tue 12/04/2016 23:07:56

Ah yes...that's the one I meant...Not "Love At First Bite"...Carrey was the ice-cream man and slept in the freezer of his truck during the day. I remember it being a pretty good vampire movie.

Thanks Quintaros. Let's see if anybody can guess the actor in this picture.

JFK?
As for previous film: That is John Hurt? He's supposedly about 45/46 in that film, but already looking late fifties. Didn't that guy ever look young?
Halloween 5?

The youngest I'd seen him was in "A Man For All Seasons" made in 1966 and he still had on oldish quality to him.
I know, and rather liked, that movie GG!
It's been ages since I saw it though...
However, since I just "hosted" the last one, I shall refrain from answering and let somebody else have it!
Nobody recognizes the famous actor? Let's try another shot:
[imgzoom]http://s24.postimg.org/78trn1x5h/feeltheburn.png[/imgzoom]
The dude in the picture looks pretty stocky and seems to be wearing a long trench-coat...
Tom Hanks in "Road To Perdition"?
Mandle that car beside him is clearly not 1930s ^^
It looks more like some horror movie/serial killer thriller...
Wait a minute... serial killer, picture of a man in what appear to be in a dress.
Is it one of the many Psycho films?
Psycho?
Psycho II?
Psycho III?
Psycho (remake)?
Bates Motel?
Psycho IV: The Beginning?
Oh! Is it Raising Cain? If so then that's John Lithgow.
Or, Dressed To Kill, in which case it's Michael Caine.
/shameless piggybacking
Nope, it's not about serial killers. But let's take a look at the two other stars in the film:
[imgzoom]http://s28.postimg.org/l3y9exost/stars.png[/imgzoom]
Guesses stopped after the last image. Maybe a hint is in order. The genre of the film is documentary - more or less.

Orson Welles in the Original Hipster?
Of course, no role he played will ever be as accomplished as that of Unicron in the Original Transformers the Movie.
Is that Orson Welles or Mark Hamill? It's confusing these days.
The Man Who Saw Tomorrow?
F is for Fake?
Quote from: Jack on Wed 20/04/2016 10:49:29
Is that Orson Welles or Mark Hamill? It's confusing these days.
Haha. I can see it.
Indeed. "F for Fake" it is. One of Orson's minor achievements but still a god damn great documentary. Here's the trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twlA_yzagXo), but the whole thing can be watched on YouTube if one is inclined. I totally recommend it.

Neither of those. Here's a closer look:

I think it's much older than that.
Executive Action?
All The President's Men?
JFK?
None mentioned yet.
(http://i.imgur.com/zSIfAJY.png)
One of the many James Bond films?
The Day Of The Jackal?
To Kill the King?
None of those.
The protagonist's setup is a little less slick than what Bond might have.
(http://i.imgur.com/G6KNTFi.png)
I've been holding off but since nobody is guessing it I'll take a stab...
The Conversation?
It is The Conversation. Your go.
I think my last one was a little too hard. Gonna go with a tad easier one this time:
(http://i.imgur.com/DFRNrRB.jpg)
Is that Ice Pirates?
Haha well that didn't take long!
I guess "tad" easier should have been "give away" easier :)
I don't know. I'd never seen it; it was just a hunch. Oh well, I guess I'm up again.
Quote from: Quintaros on Tue 26/04/2016 13:18:30I don't know. I'd never seen it; it was just a hunch. Oh well, I guess I'm up again.
It's one of those movies that's so horrible it's great.
It's worth watching if you can find it!

The Virgin Suicides?
Wow. Earlier than expected. You're up.

Hitman?
(I can't tell in this shot if he has the barcode or not)
No.
looks a bit like Collateral.
Nope.
Huh, I thought someone would get it on the first screen. Guess it's a little obscure.

It is.
"By each crime and every kindness we birth our future."
Amazing, I only now realized what is shown on the first screenshot (http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_37.jpg). My mind played tricks with me. Until now I was thinking that camera angle is parallel to ground, and we see a guy crawling out of the hatch, observing a huge sci-fi facility... and the car was a pitch black tunnel...

MouseHunt?
Nope.
Weird Science?
Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers. CAPER!
It's a rat turd.
Your go.

Don't Look Now
Why not?
HA HA HA I am joking, you are correct. It is the Donald Sutherland starring Don't Look Now. I thought someone would get that pretty quickly.
One of my favorite movies, never looked at Venice the same.
[imgzoom]http://s32.postimg.org/isz8z6amd/lapaloma.png[/imgzoom]
Presumably you chose this because the song La Paloma is played in the 50s Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers? Very subtle!
I believe this pic is from The Maltese Falcon.
Assuming I'm right, here's my next one. However, as it's pretty easy, you must:
a) get it exactly right and
b) identify the link to the previous answer.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/JOhBfoo.png[/imgzoom]
Of course it's the Maltese Falcon, perhaps easy but still well spotted.
Is Beneath the Planet of the apes?
Don't know the connection between it and The Maltese Falcon. Never seen either.
Looks like Erin Brockovich to me.

No, not Beneath The Planet Of The Apes!
It's "Battle For The Planet Of The Apes"
The connection is that that is John Huston, director of "The Maltese Falcon", under that makeup.
I'm quite certain that this is right so I'm going to put up the next pic:

AVGN The Movie?
WOW!!! You've seen it?!
(I'm a HUGE fan of James Rolfe!!!)
VERY well done...your turn!
Ah, AVGN The Movie.
That was a good movie (despite what some people may say), and I especially liked the review at the end. :-D
You were correct with the Apes one, yes!
That shot of the AVGN movie, is that those rocks where they filmed that episode of Star Trek TOS and Bogus Journey later referenced?
Quote from: Danvzare on Mon 09/05/2016 10:10:08
Ah, AVGN The Movie.
That was a good movie (despite what some people may say), and I especially liked the review at the end. :-D
I'd say the people who don't get the movie are not familiar with the AVGN style, or were just expecting a straight sci-fi story...
Also, yeah, the review is AWESOME!!! James purposely held off on ever doing a review of the ET game on the AVGN channel no matter how much the fans kept demanding it, but never said why...Until the movie came out...Sheer brilliance in foreplanning there as every fan in the movie theatre just went insane when he started doing the review at the end of the movie...
I have an in-law who is a HUGE fan of the angry nerd. So I haven't so much "seen" the movie as "had it on the TV in the room I was sitting in." :=
However, the nerd's outfit is distinctive and Vasquez Rocks (which I've been to -- they're just outside of Los Angeles) made the connection in my brain. Those rocks have been in hundreds of movies and TV shows.
Anyhoo, it's good to be back in the movie clue business. Here is my picture, which is connected with the previous movie in some way.

Children Of The Con?
(Hey....they must be in detention for something right?)
Nope. Try again. :smiley:
Holes?
Joe Dirt?
Joe Dirt it is! Your turn, Quintaros. :cheesy:
Aw damn, if I had been here a few hours earlier, I probably would've gotten that.
That wig is unmistakable!
Great film too. I should really watch it again.
I was about to forfeit my turn anyway so if you want to take it, Danvsare, go for it.

And here's a hint.
IMDb says the film was released in 2010, Rotten Tomatoes says the film was released in 2011.
Make of that what you will.
EDIT 2:
A third picture, since no one has even so much as made a guess yet.

Hopefully you can recognize that actor. ;)
Also, this film is quite bad in my opinion (and according to the critics).
Hellboy? Pacific Rim? Blade 2? :=
Bunraku?
Well yeah...that's Ron Perlman so:
Chronos? Quest For Fire? Mutant Chronicles?
And AnasAbdin is right!
It's Bunraku.
Sorry for the late reply. I've only just now gotten access to my computer.
Over to you AnasAbdin.
yay ;-D

Curse of the Hobbit?
That's some serious clubfoot going on there... not to mention the incontinence.
We're either looking at some unfortunate individual mid transition into a beast of some form, or given that it's the left foot that seems severely afflicted... it could be the David Beckham Movie?
Nope and nope ;)
I know I have seen this... but I am having trouble.
Is it Tree of Life?
no (wrong)
My Left Foot?
If it wasn't for the weird feet I might have guessed Ransom.
No no no

The Game?
Not sure where the foot shot would be from and I don't remember him having a dog, but this reminded me of the scene where his housekeeper has left him a birthday gift. Hmmm, actually, I think that was a cupcake. Not confident with this guess!
So so so so so close. But wrong.
War Of The Roses?

Ummm, Gone Girl?
nope (wrong)

Ant Man?
Wrong (wrong)
Mega clue:

Try thinking "close" to the entire post instead
The Poltergeist remake?
Nope

Nope
The Gift?
Correct Quintaros!
So odd...
I haven't seen that movie yet but all those images made me think I knew what it was!

I know the feeling! I highly recommend watching it though 8-)
I just watched it - excellent movie.
And it wasn't even a clubfoot!
Apologies for stealing in - but here's one that should be fairly obvious for fans, and no it's not Indy 5:

Hey there ol' Fred?
Yep! I knew it would be easy! Do you want to reveal the name?
Nah let somebody else have it.
That is one of my favorite movies though. On a side note; if you pay attention to these things (as I tend to) it has some of the best editing and attention to detail I've ever seen in a movie. I managed to find only a handful of mistakes that are extremely nitpicky.
Any way carry on !
Mine too - like you say, for what is essentially a B movie it's amazingly well put together!
EDIT - I say B Movie - I guess it's more of a homage
It looks familiar... but I can't recall the title.
I probably watched it once when I was a kid or something.
It's one of my favourites too. I also enjoyed the sequels. Haven't seen the tv series but apparently that was good. I haven't got round to watching the fifth one, as it's the first not to involve the original writers...
Going off Ben's hints, would that be Tremors?
Correct!
So:

Since nobody else seems to know this I will answer...
I believe that's from the movie Redbelt.
Quite correct.
You know it's funny, I watched Redbelt like 6 or 7 years ago (huge fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor) but found it mostly forgettable.
My first thought was Nightcrawler and it took me a few days to make the connection.
Both had Robert Elswit as the cinematographer/DP.
He has a very unique style I guess.
I will post a new challenge ASAP!
Darth, come on! (laugh)
I wanted to try something a little different this time.

I'll explain after somebody guesses it (nod)
Before the Rain?
Negative.
Home?
That Pixar dinosaur movie?
Earth?
Ex Machina?
Knowing?
Toy Story?
One of these guesses is correct... but wrong!
Blue Planet?
The Good Dinosaur? (going by Snarky's answer which might've been correct but he didn't give the full title)
Well that's just quibbling!
It is
The Good Dinosaur!
Quote from: Snarky on Tue 07/06/2016 14:44:10Well that's just quibbling!
Well you, technically, didn't guess the movie's
title!
I am, however, willing to grant you the victory since you
did know the movie (if not the actual title).
I'll let you and Amayirot Akago work it out :P
What I was hoping to try here was to use something CG that is damn near photo-realistic to see if people could tell it was "fake". Apparently it's still obvious. I was blown away by the realism of the nature/scenery in
The Good Dinosaur. Mind blowing really.
(I also flipped the image horizontally and played with the levels a bit to throw off any cheaters using google images' "back trace" feature (nod))
Okay, enough chatter.
NEXT!
Heh, I'm cool with Snarky taking it, since he was first.

Well, I wouldn't say it was obvious. I was certainly leaning towards a live action film.
I think flipping the image and adjusting levels sort of constitutes "cheating" in itself. I'd never heard of the image "back trace" feature but I would trust particpants to play fair in their guesses.
I just thought, after 326 pages, I would try something new to add to the challenge! It was stagnating a bit **shrugs**
You can drag/drop any image into Google Images and it'll find similar images (or the same image) and it usually will tell you what it's from (or provide links to sites with the image that will tell you what it's from).
I have used it a few times in this thread when I just didn't know the answer (but didn't answer after finding out that way!).

I have no issue with you selecting an animated film to mix it up just with the editing of the image.

I wonder if the level manipulation made it seem less "real" so that it was easier to spot it as CG? I didn't think of it at first (I was thinking along the lines of
Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka), but nihilyst mentioning
Home made me realize it was a CG landscape, and then I recognized it.

It can be a pretty useful feature. I usually test the screenshots I upload to make sure the answer at least doesn't pop up right at the top.

The UK title was "The Ghost" (as in the book it was based on), while in the US it was "The Ghost Writer".

Yeah, it's The Ghost (Writer) :D

Slumdog Millionaire?
That screenshot is really unusual.
It fades to black on the left side, and has a strange mark on the middle of the left side. I kind of looks more like a scanned in photograph from a still of the movie.
nope Amayirot. False culture ;)
It's a snippet from a screenshot of the trailer. No idea where that fading line is coming from... ^^
I don't think it's "fading"... I think it's the window's frame/border barely making it into the shot.

That's not it.

Hmm, that looks oddly familiar. I can't quite place it though.

Is this a trick, Snarky? Rope bridge, that hat... would suggest Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. But./.. for some reason I'm veering more towards King Solomon's Mine, I think it might be a young Sharon Stone underneath that hat.
Neither, actually. The choice is loosely inspired by a current movie.
Jurassic Park?
Or any of its many sequels?
Probably not but.... "Romancing the Stone" ?
None of those.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, because Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day?
The Lost World (1992)? (Not Jurassic Park, but inspired by the latest JP movie?).
Nope.
(http://i.imgur.com/DypFFX5.jpg)
The Usual Suspects?
Dumb guess, I know, but they do seem to be lined up for one of those police things where a witness points out the culprit.
The Gods Must Be Crazy?
Quote from: CaptainD on Sat 02/07/2016 17:25:34
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
The greenscreen effect is still better than the swinging with monkeys scene in Indy 4...
Indiana Jones and the Hidden Areola?
None of you've got it so far.

Cool Runnings 2? :-D
Errr... no. How about this?

George of the Jungle?
Sure is!
What? Really?
It was the gorilla that gave it away. I could never forget that bookworm of a gorilla.
Good and funny film. It's been about a decade since I last watched it.
Ok then, I guess it's my turn.
How about this one:

A dog's life
No serious guesses? Okay next clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/xkTugGO.png)
Is it that film that fellows the life of a dog who is the reincarnation of a guy who died?
I think it was called Fluke.
Nope. The dog isn't an important clue. Just a quick shot in the film's opening to set the irreverent tone.
I think it is “The Stunt Manâ€.
I remember there was a scene in the beginning where they were filming a WWI scene with aircraft attack.
You are correct, sir.
(http://i.imgur.com/pdknnhE.jpg)
Story time:
My older brother used to play this movie and scare the shit out of me. My sister had a similar little silver box like the one here. He used to borrow it and keep a key in it, making sure I sneak behind his back to see it . I thought back then that my brother was Satan. Later when I grew older and understood that he was only missing with me, I am now convinced he is Satan.
(laugh)
Prince of Darkness?
I think the guy on the left is Hank from Twin Peaks...
So I will guess:
The Jersey Devil?

Fandango?
Neither.

I thought you'd at least recognize the guy reaching for the glovebox in the last screencap. :-D
Here's a new one:
(http://i.imgur.com/lKJjS7a.jpg)
It's kind of a low budget B-movie without that many different locations or characters. If I'd post another screenshot, I'd have shown you the whole movie.
Cop Car?
(http://i.imgur.com/wca81l3.png)
The Great Escape (regular bike version)?
Is it a World War 2 movie?
I can't give an exact title, because all World War 2 movies look the same to me. (laugh)
I'm going to take a stab at Pan's Labyrinth.
Pan's Labyrinth isn't with Nazis. The bad guys there are Falangists. :P
Dad's Army: The Movie
Top Secret?
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas?
Nothing so far but I kind of like the idea of Steve MacQueen in a high speed bicycle chase with Nazis.
Here's another clue from one of the film's bigger sequences:
(http://i.imgur.com/6RUcWnW.jpg)
D-Day?
Beaches Of Normandy?
Omaha Beach Blanket Party? (The hilariously goofy D-Day invasion comedy starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello)
Saving Private Ryan?
This film centres on another big operation that occurs some time after D-Day.
A Bridge Too Far
You got it Jwalt.
Quote from: Quintaros on Sun 17/07/2016 12:03:54
You got it Jwalt.
Always thought
Bridge a great movie.
Another war movie. I find this shot oddly moving:
Das Boot?
Fifteen Officers And Gentlemen?
Nope, and nope. Movie is, perhaps, overly long, and the special effects (explosions, etc) are not up to the standards even of the time frame of the movie being made. Still, it had full US Navy support, and, as a result, you get a lot of neat scenes aboard and around ships.
Couple more, which I'll hide just for the fun of it:
"Tora! Tora! Tora!" ?
I would guess something to do with Pearl Harbour given the possibly Hawaiian location? Have no idea about the title though.
McHale's Navy?
@ Mandle -- Does involve Pearl Harbor:
@ Jack -- The PT (MTB) boats do have a part to play:
@ Kumpel -- Tora! Tora! Tora! was filmed in color. This one was filmed in black and white. Both had what might be called "all star casts:"
Is it "They Were Expendable"?
Well, that's Henry Fonda, so: In Harm's Way?
EDIT: And John Wayne? He looked familiar but I couldn't place him. Not as bad at least as Quintaros never having seen 12 Angry Men. ;)
Quote from: Jack on Tue 19/07/2016 10:56:33

Say what now?
I suspect you would have recognised Henry Fonda if you had. It's an excellent film.
Jack got it!
I recognized the movie (and remembered who was in it) 'cause my dad's an old navy dog (submariner) and we were inundated with Navy movies when we were kids (The Enemy Below, Run Silent Run Deep (which, as an aside, I was taken to a drive-in to see (1 year old) and the double-feature was an unknown movie called Star Wars), etc). I had to use IMDB to lookup the title so I didn't want to answer 'cause that felt a little like cheating (is it?).
Anyway... carry on.
Quote from: Jack on Tue 19/07/2016 12:21:13

That's what I did, because I recognised Fonda (not even Wayne). I don't consider it cheating.
This one should be pretty easy, I think. A film everyone should see:

nihilyst you are so evil! At least mention it's non english! :P (laugh)
Are weird boarding schools an English monopoly? :D (See, I gave a hint there ;D)
Dead Poet's Society?
No. Unlike Dead Poets Society, this movie didn't win an Academy Award, although it was nominated for one.
I'm just gonna guess "Under The Boardwalk" because it's the only movie I've ever heard of that is about Monopoly.
I might have phrased that awkwardly ... monopoly is not the hint, though.
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_52.png)
Spotlight?
Not that recent.
HINT: There's a connection between this one and the very first guess in this thread.
I think I see Tobey Maguire (fourth from the left in the first pic) so: The Ice Storm?
I don't think that's Tobey Maguire. More like Tobey Magström.
Maybe Skulls?
Better, but still off.

HEY! Maybe that's what the characters in the original were actually trying to warn us when they said "There can be only one.". Maybe it had nothing to do with The Prize after all! Maybe they were desperately trying to stop anyone from making the atrocity that is Highlander 2! (laugh)

You are correct sir!
Well, about it being
Once Bitten (1985) at least... but her name is Karen Kopins ;) and I admit I was obsessed with her back in the day (nod)
This was also the movie that introduced me to Jim Carrey and I remember thinking, "this guy is a terrible actor... he'll never make it big".
Little did I know what the 90s would be like...

Made me think of Tom Hanks and Bosom Buddies. Better actor, but similar trajectory.
The Truman Show was pretty damn good though...And I cannot picture anyone else in the main role...
Also: nobody can act a man being born out of the rear-end of a Rhino quite like the Carrey:

I think Jim Carrey is actually a very talented actor (now). He was amazing in Man in the Moon (1999), The Truman Show (1998), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).
Back in 1985 I just didn't see it from his performance in Once Bitten.

I personally wouldn't call him a very good actor. He has the exact same personality in all of his films.
That being said, I rather like quite a few of his films, and couldn't imagine anyone else playing those roles. I still wouldn't call him a good actor though.

Ah, yes. I saw this after seeing Jake Speed (which was a very unique film, btw). She's quite nice indeed. I would have liked to see more of her over the years. She totally nails that 80s leading lady look too.

This may have been true once, but hasn't been true for a long time. I was personally very impressed with this role in Eternal Sunshine when I saw it first.

I thought the black and white might throw off the guesses a bit. I think I thought wrong :)
Your turn!
It was a bit of a stab in the dark for me, looking for a film on Elya Baskin's filmography that might be in B&W or have a B&W sequence.
ARGH!!! I was too late!!! Thirteen Days is one of my favorite movies! I know it's a dramatization and all, but it's still a reminder that the world still exists only because of what a few brave men refused to do...
(http://i.imgur.com/vtfU2Gw.png)
The Long Ships?
Titans? (or whatever the name of the movie I'm thinking of is... (roll))
Neither of those but maybe I'm not reading your mind so well.
Erik the Viking?
Jason and the Argonauts?
I'll give it another try... my first guess was "Clash of the Titans" (2010) but after finding a screen cap of the movie I noticed that the ship isn't identical, even though the sail has the right colour and roughly the same shape... so...
going to guess "Clash of the titans" (1981) ??? (even though I found no ship pictures)
Beowulf?
The 13th Warrior?
300 (the sequel)?
Troy?

Quote from: Kumpel on Tue 16/08/2016 12:55:24No idea but I sure wanna see this one!
Yes, yes you do! It's a magically great movie. Excellent cinematography, great directing (Ridley Scott), great acting (just cheesy enough), some great (pre-CG) practical effects. All around a great movie.
Mr. Quintaros is up!
Oh, c'mon. Clearly 1982 was the best year in movie history.
Legend is a movie that never fails to disappoint but I keep coming back to it every few years hoping that I'll enjoy it this go around. It does have a lot going for it but somehow never quite adds up to more than the sum of its parts.

Hulk (2003)
Wow...I was just thinking about The Hulk today regarding the GURPS pencil and paper RPG:
We used to just mess around with their system back in the day, kinda just doing a Streetfighter-style Superhero Vs Superhero match every Friday night in my mate's very musty basement...
And in a match involving The Hulk, a player "won" it by punching the ground while pushing their strength to x4, which after some calculations seemed to imply that the entire planet would just shatter apart...
Then there followed several differing views on how the physics would actually work: The Hulk would disappear upward into space because of Newton, thus the impact would be halved and the earth would not actually shatter...The speed of his fist would have created several massive sonic booms along its course thus reducing the force...If he was somehow shackled to the earth the full force would apply, but what would the shackle be made of and how could it possibly be anchored??? Etc...etc...
And yes...we were all virgins but pretending not to be...Ahhhhhhh...good times...
And Darth gets it! In celebration I present you with the stupidest shot in movie history (according to the Agony Booth's review of this movie)

Boy, it looks like "legend" again.
Pan's Labyrinth?

That was my thought as well.
Mortal Kombat?

If there are 4 more wrong guess I'm claimin' this one!
American Psycho?
Next then:

Evil Dead?
Evil Dead II?
Cabin in the Woods?
Trainspotting?
My Private Idaho?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
Lol, I honestly feared that this will be too easy, but apparently I had got weird ideas. :)
No to all of the above answers.
Here is a slight hint, if anyone likes to have one:
Spoiler
this screenshot shows something that was found early, and will be very important in the final
Is it a Paranormal Activity movie?
Dolores Claiborne?
Rosemary's Baby?
Quote from: Kumpel on Sat 27/08/2016 17:57:57
Rosemary's Baby?
This is a correct answer. Although it is dissapointing when multiple answers are given, it looks like they are random shots rather than thoughtful guesses.
Wait, what?! 8-0 (laugh)
Wasn't random at all, it's just that both films have very similar interior shots (or I thought they do...)
Please tell us what hint you meant in the last picture. I can't see anything but feet, the carpet and a cupboard... or is it the nightgown???
On to the next one... Gotta find a good one this time, I guess...

Argh, the trails of cupboard being moved. Maybe they are not as noticeable as I hoped them to be. :tongue:
I can see something on the floor, that "blends" with the door opening light... but where are the cupboards? That I can't see. (wtf)
You can see the four impressions in the carpet where the cupboard's legs were, and some drag marks I think...But only really if you knew what to look for...
I guess this needs hints too.
Spoiler
The movie is european and episodic.
(https://www.schweizermonat.ch/uploads/article_images/d75b460f025f7197b8f5ee0bc7ae55d97a610250.jpg)
Um... Star Wars?
That's literally the only film series I know that's episodic. And this clearly isn't Star Wars.
Yeah, I have no idea. Someone had to make a guess though.
@Danvzare:
Spoiler
With "episodic" I don't mean there are several movies. I mean the movie is separated in different plots that are loosely connected (like Babel, Crash or 11:14)
Nachtgestalten?
nope. but it's pretty close in some way...
The furies and the yoga?
Lock, stock, and three Smokey The Bears?
Holy Motors?
no no no
Spoiler
another hint: The movie's title is similar to the director's name.
(http://media7.fast-torrent.ru/media/files/s4/ol/nr/tyomnyij-mir-scene-3.jpg)
St Trinian's?
Harald Töpfer?
Henry Schtupper and the Order of the Furries?
I had to work so hard to find this movie I don't know if it qualifies as a guess...
Finsterworld (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2338864/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
I started Googling for "German furries movies" (and got lost in a world of ... interesting... links) but it led to nothing.
Then I tried "German movies with animal costumes" and MAN are there a lot... led to nothing.
Then I tried (thanks to the hint) German directors w/ their name in the movie title... led to nothing.
Last I tried "German directors" and just went down a rabbit-hole but it led to a site about German Halloween costumes and it had an image from a movie (who's name I'm not remembering now) that said it was similar to Finsterworld... so on a whim I IMDB'd Finsterworld and saw the director was Frauke Finsterwalder.
I don't think I have the strength to do this again...
Hahaha thanks for the ridiculously excessive effort, Darth!
You are absoluteky correct.
Fantastic, witty and seriously sarcastic movie. I recommend it to everyone I see :=
It's like: "Hey, how are you?" "I am fine, but have you seen Finsterworld yet?" (laugh)
Your turn, Mr. Mandarb!
Three days and no new pic...Time for someone else to jump in?
Okay. Here's one that I was reminded of by a recent round:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/GplvdIA.png[/imgzoom]
Pi?
Correct! I went for a relatively easy shot as I was jumping in, otherwise I probably would have started with milk swirling in coffee or something.
Another quick one?
(https://litreactor.com/sites/default/files/images/column/2015/05/thumbnail20072.jpg)
Cloud Atlas?
Tree Of Life?
Sorry about that guys... I was "out" for the weekend (3-day holiday here in the US).
I have no issue with my turn being skipped!
Let's just keep the ball rolling!
That looks really familiar, and I think I might know which film it is... but I can't remember the title, and thus can't make that guess. :(
The film I'm thinking about was called something along the lines of The Chronicler, or The Keeper, or something like that.
And the main character was a teenage boy who looked very much like a girl to me.
But even if I knew the name, I'm not sure if my guess would be correct.
Ex Machina.
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 06/09/2016 18:57:55
And the main character was a teenage boy who looked very much like a girl to me.
Were they afraid of the diving board?
Jack is correct. We are looking into the jelly brain of Oscar Isaac's awesome ex machinas. (nod)
Bring it on, Jack!
Damn, that wasn't the film I was thinking of.
It took me all night, but I finally remembered the film I was thinking of. It was The Seeker: The Dark is Rising.
Guess I was wrong though. :)
I really liked Ex Machina.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_49.jpg)
Wild guess: Fortress?
Is it that film where the parents are only allowed one baby, but since their first baby died, they had another, but then they were caught and were put into a prison.
I think it's name was Fortress.
EDIT: Damn, Ben beat me to it as I wrote this. (laugh)
RANDOM INTESTINATION!
Quote from: Ben X on Wed 07/09/2016 11:14:10
Wild guess: Fortress?
Correct.
Yellow is pain. Red is death.
Excellent! I haven't seen that film in years, but I remember the border control scenes and the look/age of it seemed to fit.
Here's mine. No link to Fortress as we seemed to have exhausted Stuart Gordon and Christopher Lambert's oeuvre on this thread!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/P9CKfNn.png[/imgzoom]
Spawn?
No, but similar... mythological roots.
Why, that is "The Prophecy".
A pretty silly story in my opinion, but had a great atmosphere and sense of rythm! The sequence of this guy in black glasses arriving is one of my favourite. Also Viggo Mortensen eating a flower :D.
That's the one! And it has an amazing story, thankyousomuch.
Haha, OK.
Anyway, I was trying to find something completely different and decided to post following movie... although I have no idea how easy or difficult this may be:
(http://i.imgur.com/HSUvJLd.jpg)
Is that Soylent Green?
Yes :)
Sweet.
Let's see how fast people guess this movie:
(http://i.imgur.com/m9GOkyT.png)
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra?
(If it is, is that the "You can't make aliens dance - you don't know what you're dealing with!" scene?)
Plan 9 From Outer Space?
CaptainD got it, the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra it is.
Quote from: Mandle on Wed 07/09/2016 23:37:19
Plan 9 From Outer Space?
You've never seen Plan 9 8-0
Future events such as these will affect you in the future.
To quote Seinfeld:
"Just a movie? You don't understand. This isn't Plans One through Eight from Outer Space. This is Plan Nine! This is the one that worked. The worst movie ever made."
Can your HEART STAND the SHOCKING FACTS about GRAVE ROBBERS FROM OUTER SPACE?!
Okay this one should be quite tricky, I think...

I've figured out that the cut-off object in the top-left corner is a wall-lamp...
But I can't stop seeing it as a Frankenstein's monster's face in profile and wearing spectacles leering into the shot...
I do not have a very big knowledge of movies that old, but the left man reminds me of Gregory Peck.

Not Gregory Peck, the actor in question has got a bit of a funny name really. The other two in the scene are more recognisable, both British stars of the time.
Well, that's Sid James on the right. I don't recognise the other two. It might be a Carry on film, but I don't think so...
Carry On Sergeant?
Quote from: Ben X on Fri 09/09/2016 09:25:47

It

Slight clue - the woman in the middle has an alliterative name (or at least, her stage name is alliterative, not her birth name).
The Silent Enemy?
Quote from: Jack on Fri 09/09/2016 11:36:12
The Silent Enemy?
Nope - half a decade before that one.

@CW - The handsome chap on the left was Bonar Colleano btw. No I hadn't really heard of him either before watching this film.

Days Of Thunder?
The Road Warrior?
Naw.

Death Race 2000?
Herbie?
No and no.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_52.jpg[/imgzoom]
Well, I'm just going to keep guessing Roger Corman productions:
Grand Theft Auto?
No, this came about a decade after that.
Maximum Overdrive?
No.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_53.jpg[/imgzoom]
Dukes of the hazard or so?
The two cars make me think Deathproof?
Can I also note that Kurt Russell has never made a bad movie, the man's a genius, am I right?
Yes.
No, and hell no. :)
Last great Tarantino film I saw was Jackie Brown, apparently. Unless if you want to count each of the kill bills as half a film. Now he does cartoony gore porn? Meh.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_54.jpg[/imgzoom]
Well, the Grand Theft Auto movie was 1977, so this movie will be "about a decade" after that.
I have no idea, so I'll guess at King Of The Mountain even though it's only 4 years later.
Naw.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_55.jpg[/imgzoom]
I guess no one has seen it. There are enough clues to get a pretty clear answer from a search engine.
Dead End Drive-In?
No.
Quote from: Jack on Thu 15/09/2016 22:21:13
I guess no one has seen it. There are enough clues to get a pretty clear answer from a search engine.
For me at least the fun of this thread is trying to recognise movies that I've actually seen from less-than-obvious shots. Looking for clues and/or receiving hints and then going to a search engine is about as fun for me as homework. Obscure movies are fine now and then, but the thread seems to have somewhat become about stumping everyone with obscure movies rather than providing a challenge with difficult shots from mostly well-known movies.
Just my two-cents of course. I'm not trying to have a whine either: It's just a forums game...But if others feel this way then maybe we can get it back on track...
As someone who's seen a lot of films, I like finding and sharing the more obscure ones, since those are usually the interesting films.
Field of Dreams?
No. I believe the vesica piscis on the board there is supposed to be a football.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_56.jpg[/imgzoom]
Additional hint: This plays a critical role in the film.
Catch Me If You Can?
I didn't reverse image search, but I found it on a search for "80s film about jukebox cars"
That's the one.
Both "racing film high school" and "racing film jukebox" will spit out this name.
This was a favourite of mine growing up. Having watched it again now, it's actually quite cleverly written.
The best copy I found is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIA9CST5Vxk). Lots of energy in that opening. And Loryn Locklyn too!
Quote from: Jack on Sat 17/09/2016 10:12:31

Thanks for the link, bud. Will watch it once I get some free time.
Yay! I haven't seen the film, but I'll have to make a point of watching it now.
I love how all of these old films are just appearing on YouTube, with the studios seemingly not caring enough to have them taken down. It's so convenient. Golden oldies Netflix.
Brainstorm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOGAEAJ4xJE) is another one that's been recommended to me. Still haven't watched that one yet.
Okay, here's mine:
(http://i.imgur.com/FR67gOl.png)
Brainstorm was pretty good, although I think I prefer Lawnmower Man (not as bad as they say).
Retribution?
Not turning it into a movie recommendation thread, but I think I'll agree with you once I've seen Brainstorm. Lawnmower Man is one of my top films ever, and this film was kind of described to me with "so, you've seen Lawnmower Man, right?"
Oh, and the jukebox -- when you said critical, you meant it. It's there from the opening scenes of the film.
Anyway, it's not Retribution, sorry.
Well you'll not forget Brainstorm's ending in a long time, so it's well worth seeing.
This may sound silly.... but is it "Shaolin Soccer"?
Not silly. That's correct! It's Shaolin Soccer. That's Zhao Wei in the still.
Okay, your turn, CW!
The way I remembered this was that I recalled there was a movie where a shy girl character has put lots of cosmetics on but looked really bad with it :).
Quote from: Jack on Sat 17/09/2016 13:56:11

Lawnmower Man was AMAZING!!!
It was the best Stephen King adaptation of an original short story of a Pan-like character mowing your lawn with his mouth and then regurgitating the gopher's guts he'd accidentally eaten back into your bird-bath, and then finally coming into your house to eat you, turned into a movie that was pretty much "Flowers For Algernon" meets the hyped-at-the-time promise of VR, which seemed so close at the time and is starting to come true now, way past the point where most people are still interested in it anymore...
Yeah...it's a very small niche genre...But I just made it exist...
The movie still rocks though!!!
Yeah, I was very surprised to read the original short story having seen the film!
(Also, for what it's worth, I agree with Mandle on the obscure films thing. Getting recommendations is great, but having the thread grind to a halt until someone manages to hit on the right search terms not so much. I think it's at least a good idea to start throwing out the giveaway shots and some other clues as soon as it's clear no one knows it.)
Nice to know that CW & Gurok both have a classy taste in movies like me! :=

What do you mean "at-the-time", it's still hyped and still going nowhere! (laugh)
Sorry for delay; I found myself in the midst of rebuilding the home PC which took longer than expected, and may take little more to set everything up, so I pass my turn to whoever wish to take it.

Battlefield Earth?
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 20/09/2016 09:37:08
Battlefield Earth?
That's the one.
Recently saw it for the first time and was surprised at how un-worst-film-ever-made it was. It's actually a pretty good sci-fi, and I'd say it has more meat on it than something like Event Horizon.
Piece of cake!
Yay I got it right. :-D
Also I agree, it's a pretty good film. Not the greatest film of all time, but a pretty good one. I definitely don't get the hate surrounding it.
Now let's see if anyone can guess this film.
[imgzoom]http://orig06.deviantart.net/3651/f/2016/264/f/7/guess_the_movie_title_screenshot_04_by_danvzare-daidt08.png[/imgzoom]
Pretty sure I got the era wrong, but The Do-Over?
Napoleon Dynamite?
Nope, you're both wrong. But I'll give you a hint, it is a well known comedy. And in my opinion, a really good one as well.
Sorta reminds me of a movie I've seen recentish... but can't remember what it was called. :-[

Nope
Watchmen?
No
It looks like the person is counting the rings of a cut down tree to see how old it was...Hmmmmmm:
An Inconvenient Truth?
No
The Fountain?
Weird guess again... Hitchcock's "Vertigo"!
If I remember correctly, there was the scene with giant tree which had marks indicating historical events on its rings.
Wrong (wrong)
(http://i.imgur.com/TY8suY5.jpg)
Crimson Wizard will totally kill me
Vertigo.
Um... I said about exactly this scene in a post above...
Well. There's no question that it's Vertigo. But it could be a scene within a scene as they watch Vertigo within 12 Monkeys.
So... 12 Monkeys?

Correct (laugh)
12 Monkeys is one of my ultimate bestest movies ever.
if you check under the second screeny.. I have some very tiny text message :-[
Yeah 12 Monkeys is probably the most perfect time-travel movie. But I also love Vertigo. It's always had a spot in my all time top 5.

Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens.
Wait, shit. I forgot this was trickery.
Short Circuit?
Interview With The Vampire!
"...and finally, my long lost blue."
I always find that scene so touching: Louis goes to the movies because it's the only way he can ever see the sun and the daytime sky.
You got it, Mandle!
Sweet! Here's the next one:

I'm guessing, given the last two entries, it's Interview w/ the Vampire in another movie...

THAT'S A BINGO! That is how you say it, isn't it?
You caught me...I was trying to be tricky, hoping people would guess Django, Roots...etc...
Wow, and here I was beginning to think that Darth Mandarb was right, and that it was a film within a film again.
Ok, I guess it's my turn. :-D

Sorry for the horrible quality. It's not easy getting screen captures for this film.
Obvious guess: Taxi Driver?
Repoman?
Both nope.
Taxi? (The french film)
Naw...that's a pretty stupid guess considering that the taxi is the same model as a certain car from a Stephen King novel...so...
I think I may have tracked it down...
I noticed that the taxi is the same model as Christine from Stephen King's novel, and the movie...
So I started looking around for movies that has a Plymouth Fury taxi involved and I think it might be:
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World?
I'm sorry to say you're wrong Mandle.
I'll upload another screenshot, if no one gets it by tomorrow.
DAMNIT! Now I'm a mad,mad,mad,mad Mandle!!!

Because if it is, I think I may have watched it.
There's no way I'm going to remember the title though.
No...
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_62.jpg)
Boondock Saints?
I have no idea what this film is, but I'm going to give another guess.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
absolutely not Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Darth Mandarb got it! (as usual ;))
The rest of you, I want you to think about what you did.
The first two screenshots didn't trigger ANY memories of Boondock Saints to be honest. Oddly, the first shot made me think of one of the Harry Potter movies (not sure which one, the one where he scares off the dementors in the tunnel). I recognized the third (but couldn't quite place it) but the 4th cinched it for me.
Anyway on to the next...
(http://i.imgur.com/VX9Q2af.png)
The Jackal?
I've watched Boondock Saints, and even now that I know that those screenshots were from that film, I still can't identify them.
Hmm, I'm going to make another stupid guess. Police Academy?
It's such a visually unique film that I thought any shot from it would be pretty obvious. The first shot is part of a pivotal scene early in the film. I think it's more of a cult favourite than I realised. It had a ridiculously small theatrical release, and only became popular on home video, apparently.
"CNN 2016"?
Mystery Men?
Nobody has it yet.

The Constant Gardener?
Just because Snarky now has me thinking that's Soweto: Stander?
No and no
Guess I'll post another screen, maybe it'll help a bit.

The only invitation you need is your child-like sense of wonder!
This party is open to every member of the forum, so welcome and yes, you got the ball now. (laugh)
Indeed City of God. (nod)
Your turn LameNick. ;-D
@Mandle: That's great! Wonder is my second name, child-like is my first, just sense I'm missing sometimes.:=
@Cassiebsg: City of God is still one of the top films ever in my charts.
Thanks guys for the warm welcome!
Here goes the screen:

Hope I didn't make all the children leave the playground.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/UtCgwxq.jpg[/imgzoom]
I think I would remember having seen this film.
Or maybe it's something like The Holy Mountain?
@Jack: Its not The Holy Mountain nor El Topo, its not surrealism/magic realism.
As a tip I can say, there are starring two actors that are/were known mostly in some parts of Europe and one more worldwide known American actor. Two out of these actors are not among us anymore.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/GBiffgU.jpg[/imgzoom]
If anyone wants me to post more revealing screen right-away let me know.
Navajo Joe?
Nope, no Navajo Joe.
Checked Navajo Joe on imdb and its a pretty close guess regarding my tip and some similarities those movies share.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?
Quote from: Danvzare on Sun 09/10/2016 18:44:10
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?
Nope, but there is (at least)one actor both these movies share. (Not sure i'm not giving away too much.)
I thought the guy with(out) the teeth might be Eli Wallach... don't know the movie, though.
Well, the second pic made me thing "western!" Maybe even "western spaghetti"... the third seems to confirm it... but the first? ???
Beats me, maybe one of the many Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movies?

Here's one just for fun until Quintaros gets back. He still has the next turn. So: kinda just a bonus round?
(http://i67.tinypic.com/281lqh.jpg)
It looks rather pretty for such a grim scene.
The only flooded NY scene I can recall is from A.I. but I think it was much more bleak looking.
Not A.I.
2012?
Nope...not 2012, but I was guessing either that or The Day After Tomorrow would be guessed next...
If it were the latter everything would've been frozen :=

I like to watch.

Searching for Bobby Fischer?
No.
Damn!
But it's a chess board obviously... And I'm guessing you showed it because either chess plays a pivotal role in the film, or is a significant symbolic image of the conflicts of the characters...
Hmmmmmm...
Needful Things?
A Star Trek movie (no idea which one)?
Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone (or Sorcerer Stone depending on where you're from)?
None of the above.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_66.jpg)
The Horse Thief? (only because of the vaugely Mongolian look of the chess pieces)
No.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_67.jpg)
The Jerk 2?
No.
Is this a South African movie by any chance?
Nope.

Now I have to watch the movie. I'm a big fan of Cliff Curtis.

Negative sir!
** bump **
Hint: The movie isn't about the sport of baseball.
Another screenshot coming if no more guesses...
The World According to Garp?
My guess is "Oblivion", although... not 100% sure.
Hrm, no, that was different american game Tom Cruise was "visiting" there :). And it was more... ruined.
Sudden weird idea I was having...
No and no!
Forrest Gump?
Negative!
I will offer up one more clue before another screenshot!
The movie was from the 80s and the main actor was a huge star (back then) but wasn't Tom Cruise.
Field of dreams?
Inner Space? (The profile looks to me a bit like Dennis Quaid, seems a tad too stocky though...)
Field of Dreams (wrong)
Inner Space (wrong) (I love this movie... was working (shortly) on an adventure game based on it a few years back)
hmm puffy hair..
When Harry met Sally?
DING DING DING!!
The movie is When Harry Met Sally starring the legendary Billy Crystal!
NEXT!
Still looks like Beau Bridges to me.

If I'm remembering correctly, they didn't have the dog van throughout the entire film. Ah well, at lest it was a guess
Hmm, since Mandle made a Las Vegas guess, so will I. :-D
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
Yeah, that's Upstream Color.

Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert?

No, but maybe they used an american desert for budget reasons.
Deathrace 2000?
No.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_74.jpg[/imgzoom]
Okay... I got it:
"Race In The Sun"
(The thing you said about America/Australia was a big hint)
Race the Sun, yup. An apparently obscure film starring Halle Berry.
So similar in composition to the last pic, and actually the title of the last movie also ties in..
Weird...

Near Dark?

Well done!
Indeed it was the much overlooked classic of the vampire genre: Near Dark...
Including:
Lance Henriksen (such a
groovy face (laugh) )
and Bill Paxton in an actual badass role instead of the whiny ones he is usually delegated to...
Also: The tie-in I mentioned between the last movie and this was that the last title was "Race The Sun", which was exactly the race that the character in my original image lost, with fatal results for a vampire...
Over to you Danvzare...
Well that was definitely a coincidence. I first heard about that movie only a few days ago.
How about this one.

A non-visual clue:
The entire movie isn't in this style. Just certain parts.
The Fall?
Sleepy Hollow?
No sir!

This film considerably pre-dates film noir. Also, don't Google Image "naked street" with Safe Search turned off.

I had to work for that one. I've only seen one Marx Brothers movie and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Guess I should check out some more.
Yeah, the Marx Brothers are pretty funny, though I'm tempted to skip past some of the musical numbers and Harpo's most egregious mime business. I just watched Monkey Business recently, and it struck me that Groucho was really the original Robin Williams, throwing out one-liners, puns, impressions, silly voices and suggestive remarks at machine-gun pace.

"Hello? Room service? Send up a bigger room!"Hawkeye also delivers a lot of his one-liners with a Groucho impression in Mash: So yeah, Groucho truly left his own unique stamp on comedy for the ages. The guy was a comedic genius on and off the screen. I've read a book on his life a looooong time ago but I remember being impressed by what a naturally funny human being the guy really was.
Yeah, I was amazed to learn that Groucho's trademark moustache and eyebrow were just grease paint. I actually liked the music numbers in the one that I saw. Seemed to me that they were actually skilled musicians and not just playing for laughs.
I won't have a chance to add a new entry for the next 4 days so if anyone else wants the privilige, it's up for grabs.

Quote from: Quintaros on Fri 02/12/2016 23:30:32I actually liked the music numbers in the one that I saw. Seemed to me that they were actually skilled musicians and not just playing for laughs.
Oh, they were. They started out as a music act before they got into comedy. I usually like Chico's bits, which are quite lively, but often the films will have some romantic ballad by one of the guest stars, which is always incredibly dull and feels more dated than practically any other aspect.
In some ways the movies are like old variety shows. They mix scenes that drive the story, scenes that are essentially stand-alone sketches, some musical numbers and some dance performances to offer something for every taste.

Yeah, I was amazed to learn that Groucho's trademark moustache and eyebrow were just grease paint.
If you see a closeup it's pretty obvious that it's not real:
(http://i.imgur.com/Xfr9Ghd.jpg?1)
But I know the feeling. I had the same reaction when I found out Charlie Chaplin didn't really have a mustache. "Groucho" was a essentially a clown getup that Julius Marx wore. He actually looked like this (he didn't even wear glasses at the time; later in life he needed them, and also did grow a real mustache in order to resemble his iconic character more):
(http://i.imgur.com/y9cNP3V.jpg)
Similarly, Harpo and Chico wore wigs and funny hats that altered their appearance. Zeppo was the only one who wasn't outrageously disguised in his roles, and out of character all four apparently looked very much alike.

Starman?
Is this a painting/animation or is it just me?
@Amayirot Akago: No not Starman, but what a great movie!
@Kumpel: This is actually a scene from the movie. The movie was pretty low budget so you had to suspend your disbelief quite a bit, especially in moments such as this! But I still love this movie for everything it got right, despite its flaws.

No guess on the title, and may be off topic, but...

Just noticed that the Forum makes an unfortunate division of "title." I'd guess different resolutions may display the html in different sizes or line lengths, but...
Or, it might be my dirty mind, but... Or, it might be an interesting topic for a new, movie based, thread: "Guess the Movie tit..." Apologies, in advance, if I'm offending anyone.

It's one of my favorite horror/comedy movies...But comedy more along the lines of Shaun Of The Dead, rather than just a silly outright spoof, and doesn't shy away from some pretty intense gore scenes as well. And it also mostly knows when to stick with a serious tone for a while when needed....mostly...
And the ending is KICKASS!!!
Correct Snarky! Should have taken a less obvious scene ;)
I've been on a bit of a black-and-white binge lately:

Danvazare: no, this film came out 2 years earlier...
Here's another shot:

Those clues should seal it!
Incidentally, I chose these shots because the first one is subtly homaged in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when Jessica peeks out of a car window in the same way, and the second one is from a scene repurposed in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
CLEAAANNNING WOMAAAAN!!!
What, no one recognises the actress there? Come on, that's BS!
Okay, here's another, if you can't get it from this then I may have to post the title card:

Double Indemnity?
Correct! When I said that was BS, I of course meant Barbara Stanwyck!
Yeah I've certainly heard of Barbara Stanwyck but couldn't have picked her out of a lineup. This movie has been on my list to see for a while.

Quintaros is right. "The Impossible". Seen the newest movie of director Bayona. "A Monster Calls". Just WOW 8-0

For some reason I'm thinking Let the Right One In, though I don't really remember anything like this in the movie.
Is that "Eight Crazy Nights"?
(Or possibly "Reindeer Games"?)
None of those.

Just to dot the i-s... not Dead Snow 2?
I would never be so cruel as to not indicate that someone was very close if that were the case.
Then hmmm... Defiance?
I think I'm going to have to expediate this one with a cast photo:
(http://i.imgur.com/kpvhAls.png)
It's A Midnight Clear
Yeah, the cast photo made it pretty easy to track down. Although, is it just me or does Gary Sinese look weirdly photoshopped into the pic? Probably just a trick of the eye, but he seems to be strangely facing directly the camera for someone so far to the right of field.
Also... please tell me he dies in the movie, because then he could be one of Lt. Dan's ill-fated ancestors, and that would be awesome!
Anyways, continuing the theme, here's a slightly cropped one:
[IMGZOOM]http://i68.tinypic.com/25i1bi8.png[/imgzoom]
Gary Sinise's character is a pretty tightly wound so he looks a little unnatural amongst the others. He does survive the war though. It's probably my favourite war (anti-war) movie.
Antman?

The first picture is where the gremlins have Gizmo tied to the railway tracks of the model train set (with Gizmo cropped out)
The second picture is the last scene in the movie where

the old chinese guy comes back and takes Gizmo away from them: "You are not ready."
On a side note: JESUS! Just LOOK at that beautiful matte painting! I could stare at that for just ages! It looks just like the dude is walking off into a Christmas card. Screw CGI!
I really miss the days of matte painted backgrounds like that. I mean I love CG (and realism) but there was just something... magical... about those hand-painted scenes like that.

Quote from: Ryan Timoothy on Thu 29/12/2016 20:05:41The 'Burbs?

Related in that it's directed by Joe Dante (who also directed Gremlins) and timely in that it has Carrie Fisher (may the force be ever with her) in it.
I figured that was an easy[ish] one!
You're up Mr. Tim
oothy!
I thought it had looked like the scene where the Dr returns home. (Also didn't know Carrie Fisher was in it - been so long since I've seen this movie)
Here's to keep with the pre 21st century movies:

Well spotted! ;-D
(http://i.imgur.com/jiIVYjW.jpg)
It is indeed.
Highly recommend the movie. It's like a mix of Altman's The Long Goodbye, Chinatown, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Big Lebowski and A Scanner Darkly, while still bearing the characteristic marks of both Pynchon and Anderson.

Haven't seen this one but learning that it's "found footage" I'll probably continue to stay away.
I actually won't have a chance to post for a few days so if Amayirot wants the honour, it's his.

I've never liked found footage films. Never have done, and never will do.
There probably is (or at least will be) one decent found footage film out there. Because let's face it, there's always that one exception.
But even then I will continue my passionate dislike of that sorry excuse of a genre. I'm just grateful that the hype surrounding the genre has finally died.
Quote from: Danvzare on Thu 05/01/2017 15:50:00

"Chronicle" is the only found footage film I've seen that I would recommend. Its camera work is actually pretty steady due to a plot conceit though it does fall apart a little for the climax.
Very kind of you, Quintaros :D Good thing I came prepared.

Is that the one with Echo, the little alien guy? Kinda like a cross between The Goonies and E.T? Because that would have been my guess except it was called "Echo To Earth" here in Japan. Well...if it was the same movie that is.
A Scanner Darkly?

Nope. This is a French movie.
I don't know what it is but I'm very curious to find out. It looks beautiful... Just look at that design work on the buildings!
I want to see this!

I had no idea Dofus was based on an MMO of all things :shocked: I was just told by a friend to go see it and found myself pleasantly surprised.
As for this new screenie, hmmm. Looks oddly like a video game cutscene. Given the presence of a guy (dog?) in geta sandals and a tentacle monster tho, I'm guessing it's Japanese :=

But you are spot on. ;)
Alright, it seems as though you guys need a hint.

As no one's guessing, I'll make a silly observation and hope it dislodges another hint: that last shot looks Planet Of The Apes-y...
I think it's Ronia, the robber's daughter.
Correct! The link was the animated Japanese remake (https://youtu.be/7IuQs_Fl-dE) (overseen by Goro Miyazaki) that's coming to Amazon Prime soon. (And the thing people took for a lemming or squirrel is a "rumpnisse" gnome wearing Ronia's hat. Apparently they're called "rump-hobs" in the new translation.)
Final screencap I had prepared:

So um... Muppet Treasure Island?
One of the Scary Movie, um, movies?
Nope of the above... although I really like Snarky's guess! That's totally what it looks like! But it's not...

What on earth did you do to find it?
Or have you seen it? MORE people should see this movie: It's AMAZING and as an animated film it beats most of the triple-A animated movies into a spongy pulp...
Funny as hell too!
Anyways: Your turn!
EDIT: Ahhhhhh...I suspect that you googled something like "movie a guitar with GG"...Well played!
I saw the movie (100 years ago) and I recognized your first screenshot but just couldn't place it... took me awhile but my memory banks accessed it eventually.

Gilbert, there are no humans inside the armours in the movie. :P
My guess, the scene is either from a scene featuring extras at Universal Studios (maybe the main character is on visit or something) or a shot from a movie with a sci-fi convention, and these are just 2 fans chatting.
Since at this moment the one movie with a scifi convention I can think of is Galaxy Quest, I'll guest it, even though I'm sure it's not it... I would remember a couple cylons chatting. (laugh)

Nope and nope :)

Let's end this line of inquiry by clarifying it's not VD.
Damn! You mean there's more than one?! 8-0
Die Hard 4?
Nope.
I'll put up another clue later if needed.
looks a tad like J.K. Simmons...
Go on...
It's not Whiplash, is it?
That's my tempo (yes)
damn it ^^ I've seen the movie last week and couldnt remember this scene...
It's when his daughter comes by and he acts like a normal human being for a while, right? Makes sense once it's pointed out. I just watched La La Land by the same director. Loved it. Simmons is in it, briefly, being wonderfully dickish.
You basically got it, so you can go, Kumpel.
Correct, I forget exactly but think she's the daughter of the other guy who used to play in Fletcher's group - Fletcher is saying when she's older she should come play piano in his band (good luck!) displaying a gentler side and Neiman is peeking out the door at him (hence why he's partly obscured / out of focus).
Great film though.
Yeah let's try this one (again) (laugh)

Oh God I tried to read that book and just had to give up... It was so tedious...
The only good thing was the term "Chronologically Challenged" to describe his condition...
The Blue Room?
Quintaros got it. Yeez did you really recognize the movie from this pic?
I feel guilty about this one but I googled "mathieu amalric goatee" and came up with a link for this exact image. Maybe I should have abstained from answering.
Man, I thought for sure that was Juliette Binoche, and the guy looked vaguely like Ricardo DarÃn!

I believe that's perfectly fine. The game isn't about having seen every movie in the world. As long as you don't google the image itself you can do detective work on google based on what you see in the image. And that was quite inspired detective work you did.
LOL. (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) So google finds goatee pictures of actors if you search for exactly that? Crazy ...
And even your recognization of Mathieu Almaric would have been enough. So it's definitely your turn. (laugh)

I would imagine that the fact he has a goatee is mentioned somewhere on the image's page or in a tag for the picture. I doubt the Google A.I. is good enough yet to actually visually search for a specific actor sporting a particular style of facial hair.
I could be wrong of course...
Just to feed this sweet little rumpus room game, I am jumping in once more and give you ...

Hobbit 3? That is Peter Jackson on that town street, right?
It's not from the "The Hobbit" trilogy.
Then my guess is that it's from the first Lord of the Rings movie.
That's Peter Jackson indeed but that cameo is from LotR: The fellowship of the ring I think
Ah, bad luck Kumpel! You went for the wrong Jackson Bree cameo!
Is Taking Off the film where Schiavelli teaches concerned parents how to smoke weed? I just heard of that film the other day because I watched the No Small Parts episode on him :

Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 31/01/2017 12:01:37
Then my guess is that it's from the first Lord of the Rings movie.
Yup...
Peter Jackson has two cameos as the carrot-munching villager in Bree, the first in Fellowship Of The Ring, and the second in The Hobbit 2: The Desolation Of Smaug...
I actually wasn't aware of the Hobbit cameo when I posted the pic. I wasn't trying to be
that tricky... but I guess it makes for a good trivia question next time I'm out with my movie-geek friends!
Sorry Kumpel... you did provide the vital hint, but Danvzare grabs the win! ;)
Darn...
It's hard to get it fully out of the system that I confused not only two friggin Hobbit movies but I even forgot, PJ has the same cameo in the first LotR movie. BUT I will, at some distant day in the dark future, be able to live with what I did...
Danvzare, make me proud!
@Ben X: Exactly! It's that hilarious movie by two times oscar awarded director Milos Forman and the 10 minutes long scene I took the two screens from is legendary in terms of drug taking in cinema. You gotta see this!
Sorry for potentially stealing your win there Kumpel.
I'll do you proud. :smiley:

I was pretty sure I had seen the movie judging from the first screenshot you posted. But now with the gif I'm totally clueless. I'm just going to guess it's Twin Peaks: Fire walk with me as the background kind of reminds me of it.
(wrong)
I'm probably wrong here, but that woman kind of looks like Carrie Fisher.
I still have no idea what the film is though. ???
I dont know what movie either but I thought she looked more like Demi Moore.
Looks like Sherilyn Fenn to me so:

Nope.

It's a 2016 movie

It's a comedy :P
After doing some research I think it might be Hail, Caesar. I haven't seen the movie but it fits all the clues.
You'll have to do more research.. :-D

If it wasn't for the 2016 release, I would have guessed American Pie, but as of right now, I'm just confused. ???
American Pie 2016 :grin:

Cool. So guess it is my turn.
Sorry about the graininess, but it is an older movie. I set up the image just in case I should ever win.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/1z2ep78.png)
EDIT: no guesses? too hard? First clue: the red stuff on the axe is not blood. It is paint.
Lord Of The Rings (the 1975 b-list version)
In this scene Gimli stands up and stays: "And my axe!"
(wrong) it is a comedy
Is that Robert Mitchum?
(wrong)
Not sure who the actor is but Robert Mitchum was not in this movie.
Another screenshot and another clue: the movie was released in the 80s.

another screen shot. After it is done I will post where in timeline of the movie each screen shot was taken from. the next screen shot will be more helpful.

The more I see, the more I feel as though I've seen this film.
I don't think I'll ever be able to figure out the title though.
This screen shot should practically give it away with a little research because all 3 actors pictured were pretty popular in the 80s.
2 of them were still at least active through 2011.
(https://s29.postimg.org/c64cw4e8n/19_38.png)
I cannot seem to find the name of the movie but I think I recognize it.
The memory is quite hazy...
Does it take place in [I think] Central/South America and it's about a woman is kidnapped and held captive with a bunch of other women in some kind of [Nazi?] compound and her brother[?] is trying to find her?
(wrong)
Sleepaway Camp?
Porky's?
(wrong)
But good guesses.
"I Was An Eighties Fashion Victim"?

Another clue: 1985 and another actor that was in this movie was a time traveller that same year.

Wow...amazing round...
But wait, so Michael J Fox was in three movies released in 1985???
I'm guessing Poison Ivy was filmed much earlier and canned but they released it because he was suddenly such a hot property?
That is quite possible, but 4 movies?

Sleuth?
Quote from: Quintaros on Sun 12/02/2017 03:04:16
Sleuth?
Woah that was fast! I was hoping for at least a few people to get tricked into movies where Michael Caine is actually old instead of pretending to be with makeup... I gotta say though: The effect is pretty close to how he really looks in old-age so well done to the make-up artists (even though he wasn't supposed to look like himself in the movie, but oh well)...
Your turn!
Actually, I thought it looked like fake old aged... but I thought it looked a bit like Richard Dreyfuss instead. (laugh) (roll)
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sun 12/02/2017 07:47:35

Spoiler
Oh yeah, it doesn't look all that real: The movie came out in 1972 after all, but it does bear a pretty close resemblence to the real old-age Michael Caine, which is pretty cool considering how young he was at the time. Also, in the movie you're not supposed to be able to guess that it is Michael Caine when it's painfully obvious that it is. It tricked me when I first saw the movie as a child but later as an adult it just made me laugh. Still an awesome movie, but the trick probably worked better in the original stage play than in the movie with close-up shots.
Quintaros: Have you seen the movie and recognized the scene? Or did you google "Michael Caine in old-age makeup" or somesuch? Please teach me your methods because I sometimes spend like half an hour googling clues from the screenshots and still come up empty-handed (laugh)
I don't always resort to Google. I'd scene Sleuth years ago and thought the makeup pretty obvious at the time and also a little odd (iirc he's actually supposed to be playing a second character). My favourite old age makeup that predicted an actor's actual later appearance is Max Von Sydow in the Exorcist.

I would like to give Quintaros another chance. Only reason I found it was with a google search on the images. Might be a good idea not to use images that are already on websites. Take a screen shot from the movie.

Google searching the image is actually against the rules of this forums game. You probably weren't aware of that though.
We don't really want to force people to screenshot clips from movies as it is quite a bit of hassle. I think it's better if people just respect the honour system of not using image search.
I won't be able to post a new entry for several days so it's up for grabs.
No I was not aware of that. Just found this thread a few weeks ago. Won't do it again.
Since he won't take it, I will do it with one that should be fairly easy.

Sweet! I thought it was a very underrated movie that was written off by most people as just being another "Battle For Los Angeles" or "Skyline" which were both pretty crap, but I was pleasantly surprised that "Battleship" was actually entertaining and didn't take itself too seriously.
No worries about the google image thing. You didn't know the rule. We should probably restate it every now and then.
Anyway... next film:

And just a friendly reminder to anyone new to this forum game: Using google image to find the answer instantly is against the spirit of this game. Please don't do so and respect the time that the current host put into thinking of a movie, finding a screenie, and hosting it. Cheers!
Yeah I thought Battleship was an excellent movie. Kind of a combination between Top Gun and Independence Day.
as far as the image you posted I am pretty sure I have not seen that movie. From the looks I would guess something about NASA but that would just be a wild guess.

Please refrain from googling the verbatim text in this screenshot of the credits.
I will post another screenie soon if nobody knows it from just this, but it would be awesome if somebody knew...
The Simpsons?
Lilo & Stitch?
Hahahaha, but no on both counts...
I doubt the American Humane Society would be alright with their trademark being used on an animated film, unless the animators were knows for torturing hamsters whenever a sequence got sent back for a redo...
Galaxy Quest?
Homeward bound or one of the Benji movies?
Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy?
Quote from: Kumpel on Mon 27/02/2017 20:11:45
Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy?
I believe the title you're looking for is The Hitchhiker's Guide
to the Galaxy. ;)
Jupiter Ascending?
Nopers to all...
I fastforwarded through the credits to see if there was any little extra bit after them and when that text went by I must've subliminally read it cos I thought "That said something weird.", so I went back and reread and was like "WTF?!"
It's also weird because the movie isn't about space travel so I suspect that section is an in-joke between the cast about something that went on during filming.
Southpark - The Movie?
No.... the movie is not a comedy. It's a horror movie actually...
New screenie coming in a bit...

Hehe.... no
Okay, another screenie:

On Her Majesty's Secret Service?
Haha, no. Though the director was in a James Bond movie once.
Looks a tad like Woody Allen. Now which one of his zillion movies? 8-)
Hmmm... ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/ESxTLnb.png)
Is that Larry David in the foreground?
New York Stories?
No and no.
I recognise the bloke in the midground and dodgy moustache, though - that's Colin Firth. A quick Google reveals the film to be Magic In The Moonlight.
Yup. And that's Firth and Emma Stone in the first picture. There was some sort of logic behind the choice (something to do with the Oscars?), but I forget what it was.
That was a sneaky clue about the director being in a Bond movie, btw, well done!

No guesses? Okay, I'll be honest, i haven't actually seen this film myself and it's unlikely that many here have as it was so badly received. The reason I picked it is for the connection: the director has appeared in a Bond movie. I'll also give you another pic:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/J5VjngE.png[/imgzoom]
Well, that's James D'Arcy, so that must mean the film is

Gosford Park?

Gods And Monsters?
Nay. More recent than that, and less set in America. Based on a book that has been adapted before.
St Trinians?
Interesting guess, but no. Never seen any of them.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/J3KTGHw.jpg[/imgzoom]
I haven't actually seen this one either. It was not well received, particularly compared to the earlier TV adaptation, which is a classic.
Brideshead Revistited?
Ding ding ding!
I thought the teddy bear in the second picture would be a giveaway, but I guess it depends on familiarity with the story.
I wonder how old I can have been when I watched the Jeremy Irons version? Not very old.
I remember the series being a huge deal when it aired, but I never watched it. I was just a kid and it seemed too girly. I was watching "Dr. Who" and "The Goodies" and such...
New screenie coming soon!

The Mist?
Quote from: Darth Mandarb on Thu 09/03/2017 19:50:26
The Mist?
Yup!
Over to you!
@Kumpel: Actually the character is a commercial artist painting a poster for a movie adaptation of Stephen King's book series "The Dark Tower". At the time "The Mist" came out "The Dark Tower" was supposed to be going into production soon with Ron Howard at the helm, but that has since been cancelled. I hope that Darabont makes the series at some point because every time he has made a King story into a movie, the film has turned out better than the book: He knows how to keep the genius parts of King, and cut out the unneeded chaff. And, now that I think about it, he has changed the ending of every story he's adapted, and for the better in every case. And "The Dark Tower" really needs a better ending!
There's an adaptation in production now, isn't there?
And is the story set in some kind of time loop? I read that they're saying the adaptation will be a different iteration of the loop, so that it will play out a little differently than in the books; perhaps that will give it a more satisfying ending.
Wow! It's coming out this year! The casting choices seem a tad weird, and the idea to do it as a continuation of the books if either madness or inspired, or both. Well, to do the books justice you'd need a Harry Potter length series, and I doubt the studio would invest in that with this story. It's not going to appeal to the majority of people. The books were all best sellers of course but even a lot of King's fans wouldn't rate them his best work.
Well, I'm excited anyways! I just pray it's not the complete mess that it sounds like it could be...
This would be a gimme to me... but that's probably because I've seen this movie about 3,193 times...

Rambo 2?
All wrong so far! Keep 'em coming! In a few I'll post up another shot...
127 Hours?
Commando?
The Descent?
Armageddon?
Still no correct answer. I can't post another screen at present so I'll give a clue:
That object (in that shot) fires a shotgun shell but isn't a shotgun.
Doesn't look like it, but: Jurassic Park?
Quote from: nihilyst on Sat 11/03/2017 17:16:38Jurassic Park?
You are actually correct! Well done!
Wow, I've seen it many times, but that shot just didn't look familiar. It was the shotgun clue that got me to recognize it.
Next:

No.
True Romance?

Newer than True Romance, older than Deathproof.

No Place for Old Men?
No Country For Old Men?
YOINK!!!

(Just kidding, if it's right it belongs to Danvzare)
Older than that.
Maybe with another clue?
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_58.png)
Zodiac?
Identity!
(Such a great movie for lovers of adventure games! Soooooo many tropes!)
And... speaking of movies that would make great adventure games:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/30xh852.jpg)
So yeah, I'm 100% sure my answer is right, even without googling it. I've seen Identity many times and even watched a critic complain about how cliched and unlikely the upside-down-6-mistaken-for-9 trick is. Obviously he didn't understand the movie at all because "unlikely" doesn't even figure into it once you know what's really going on.
Anyways, there's the next screenie in my post above!
Yeah, it is Identity :D
No guesses even?
(http://i65.tinypic.com/30xh852.jpg)
Well, the color palette reminded me of Don't Look Now (the opening), but the house/windmill doesn't seem to match.
This movie came out about a decade after Don't Look Now.
Here's another screenie to make it a bit easier:

That picture would have given it away for sure. I liked that movie. Has so many twists and turns in it it keeps you guessing and that ending i did not see it coming.

It's
Link (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091415/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)! Although, in the above shot it's very obviously a very small person in a rubber suit. The real deal looks like this...

It's not the easiest film to find, being out of print on DVD and, as far as I know, unavailable on any streaming service. It's worth seeing, though, for some super simian acting and a genuinely weird atmosphere.

So.... it's dayowlron's turn, right?
It is. His last login was today, but...maybe he forgot? If he doesn't stop by, we'll open it up to the floor.
Hope nobody minds if I just jump in with a bonus round in the meanwhile. It seems the thread is stalled so a brief trivia moment perhaps:

Name the more famous character this character is better known as!
007 ?
Darn it i missed it. I am shocked it was Link. I just through out some movies I knew of that had monkeys
Will post a screen shot shortly, in the mean time solve Mandles trivia?

2012?
No
Is it Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?
or maybe The Salton Sea?
Spartan?
Those are the few Val Kilmer movies I can think of...
Yes, it's Spartan. The film didn't really hold up on re-watch, but I can highly recommend the DVD commentary with Kilmer.
You're reminding me that I've had The Salton Sea on my to-watch list for ages.
I enjoyed The Salton Sea quite a bit.
Here's the next:
(http://i.imgur.com/QnhTWXD.jpg)
The Salton Sea?
The films that come to mind are Bridge of Spies and Sliding Doors, but I'm reasonably certain it's neither of those.
Nope to all!
Bridge of Spies is a good guess (in my opinion) because the cinematographer (and long-time cohort of Spielberg) is Janusz Kaminski. When I first saw the movie (from my screenshot above) I checked the credits to see if Kaminski was the cinematographer. He wasn't.
I am painting my office so I can't do a screen-grab so here's a less-than-stellar web search (so no cheating!).
(http://i.imgur.com/fO8oxhR.jpg)
Another in the list of "reminds me of, but can't very well be" guesses: Margin Call. (The monitors are clearly the wrong era.)
After that guess, I was curious about whether the guy in the background was who I thought it was, and ended up spoiling myself on the movie. :~(
Transformers?
Oh crap!
Is it The Bourne Identity?!
It was Walton Goggins in the background, BTW. 8-)
And Chris Cooper in the foreground, of course.

You got it!
I had read before they had used a real skeleton but I've always wondered if it was actually true. I heard the production found it was actually cheaper to use real skeletons than to have fake ones made/bought. Strange but given the mysticism around the production and after-math of this movie I wouldn't be surprised in the least :)
You're up!

no i just remembered the sand storm scene. dont even know where in the movie that other screen shot is from.

The next pic I have picked out may give it away, but if not the one after that will for sure.
The Outsiders?
Is it Angels in the Outfield (1994)?
I do not recognize the screenshots (and I'm not sure I've ever seen the movie) but I think that's Matthew McConaughey.
It looks like he's in a sports locker-room (and has black paint under his eyes) so I googled for Matthew McConaughey baseball movie (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=matthew+mcconaughey+baseball+movie) and it links to Angels in the Outfield. So that's my guess!

I havent got a clue and Mandle is probably right, but I am going to make a couple of guesses on the off chance I get one right.
Beauty and the Beast?
Phantom of the Opera?

Nope. None of the guesses so far. You're all on the right track with the literary origins.

The movie is not as old as it looks.
Is it City of God? It looks similar to the shots from the last time (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=44093.msg636544804#msg636544804) we had it in this thread.
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"?
7 Chinese Brothers?

Okay, so from some hints in the picture I managed to track the movie down... But I don't feel good about solving it...
Well, then I'll post another screencap, and maybe someone else will identify it before you overcome your scruples (laugh)

(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!)
Yes!
Most people probably only know the movie (if at all) from the off-putting promotional shot that turned into a "murderbear" meme (http://www.avclub.com/article/let-internet-sully-another-happy-childhood-memory--205779), 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."
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:

Hmm... don't recognise the film but that looks very much like the actress in the episode of Dr Who that aired last Saturday.
It's possible I guess. The film is British, but is from the 1960's/70's I believe. So a Dr. Who from that era or a rather old actress...

About as good as Police Academy 7, but no, it's not Mall Cop or anything from the Police Academy series.
From some of the actors I would say it is probably newer than the Police Academy movies. Mall Cop is a good guess but I am going to guess:
21 Jump Street?
Grown Ups 1/2?
It's Grown Ups 2. I wanted to mention it because I stumbled across a podcast where they decided to watch and review Grown Ups 2 every week for a year.

I just watched The Visit today and it was
FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!I'm so stoked that Mr. Shyamalan landed on his feet with this movie after a long fall and after so many failed visions that could have been great except for maybe some hubris on his part at being tagged "The Next Hitchcock" early on in his stardom...
Sometimes I guess it takes a fall from grace and being blacklisted as a poisonous commodity in Hollywood to get back you one's roots as a brilliant storyteller and master of camera work... I've always admired his suspense-building camera work: showing just enough to tell the story, but making the viewer inwardly scream "Show me what's just a few centimeters to the left!!!"... And he really pulled that off to perfection in "The Visit"!

Yeah, I saw some news about that and was both excited and worried, much like you describe.
A mate of mine and I sometimes talked about our idea for a sequel called "Zombieworld" where the main characters leave America on a sailing boat and sail around the world searching for a place that is not infected. I even considered making a fan-game based on this idea. Perhaps one day if the sequel falls through, or its ending still leaves this story option open...

If it is indeed Earth, I'll be hitting my head in the desk for a while, cause I actually thought to reply that when I saw the pic (not because I was guessing the name, but just as a joke guess (laugh) (roll) ).

Yes, I saw it at the movie theater once, when it first came out, and still remember it fondly. I think it was maybe the first movie I ever saw that didn't wrap everything up with a tidy bow by the end, but made you keep thinking about what maybe had happened...
Considering the portion of the earth that is shown, is it an Asian film?
All wrong answers.
I think it's a collab production.. A famour American actor too..
Again, the name of the movie is in the photo.
Oh! I think I know! However, if I am right, then saying that it's "visible in the picture" is a very evil hint. Is it The Great Wall?
Correct ;-D
There are debates (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China#Visibility_from_space) about the visibility of The Great Wall from space.
That's why I said that was an evil hint - I wouldn't have guessed if I havent watched it recently and if you haven't mentioned that's a collaboration :)
Ok, I guess it's my turn now. Hopefully it's not too easy and not too hard :)

No leprechauns in this movie.

I've never seen any of the Deathstalker movies, but I watched James Rolfe's review of them
James Rolfe is so AWESOME!!!
Dark City?
No.

Insidious?
Poltergeist Remake?
Real Hauntings... There are at least 200 haunted house movies (roll)
But how many feature a goofy main character who tries to prove the existence of ghosts for his Web 1.0 style web page and only has one last weekend to do so until the location in which this film is set in will be closed down? Like 20? Try one of them :D
A Haunted House?
Not that goofy. And to be fair, the last third of the movie isn't as light-hearted as the first two thirds.

Funny Games?
It's from this decade.
The Innkeepers?
It is.
I've actually never heard of it; I found it by googling "Pedlar supernatural movie". (I only use that kind of technique once we've had a couple of pics and no one seems to be getting it, though.) Looks cool.
Here's mine, at a reasonable 800x600 size in zoomable tags!

No, definitely not - that would ruin the entire thing!
Yeah, guess you are right.
Sooo, can't guess it :D

Yes, it's Night Of The Living Dead - Color Edition, in honour of George A Romero who passed away a couple of days ago.

Yes, one of the icons of modern horror is gone, and now we will never get that one last movie... I'm so sad...
I was disturbed that your screenie was the colourized version... I've never seen it and never want to...
Night Of The Living Dead
must be a black and white movie as it was intended...
The colour
remake IS awesome though! (And they finally got some money back because of it...)
Hmmmmm so hard to figure out what movie to follow this with.... Gimme a moment...
Okay here we go:

Yeah, it's pretty easy for most I think...
Maybe if you got it instantly you could just say something that gives a nudge in the generally right direction to those that have never seen this amazing movie...
Or just solve it instantly... Your choice!

Altitude?
Airplane? If it is correct I think this shot was from the intro where they had music playing from Jaws and made the tail section of planes look like shark fins, then one plane rose up through the clouds vertically.
dayowlron has it! (I always assumed it was just the one plane, though..!)
Damn, beaten by dinner! (laugh)
What? I was gonna say airplane then changed my mind, because I culnd't find that pic on internet by searching airplane shark.
"You listened a guy who lost"
*cough* dayowlron - your go!
I may be mistaken but I seem to remember 2 planes on the screen at one time during that intro. Anyways, next screenie:

Well I said I was going to post one that would give it away, but I thought I would throw one more in although this one will probably give it away anyways.

That's Kelly from Saved By The Bell! I only know one film that she's in, so I'll guess that: From Dusk Til Dawn 2.

Black Christmas?
Was Tiffani-Amber Thiessen in a film called Black Christmas?

This screen shot will give it away but I need to get it done.

That's Pauly Shore, so Son-In-Law?
Speedway Junkie?
Biodome?
Tiffany Amber Thieesssesn (whatever the last name is), totally forgot what a good looking woman she is! ;)
Oh for goodness sake, people! Tiffany Amber Thiessen isn't in Bio Dome, and Pauly Shore isn't in Speedway Junkie!
I checked, and I'm right - it's Son-In-Law.
Here's mine - it shares a cast member with Son-In-Law:

Four Eyes and Six Guns?
yes it was Son in Law.
My guess:
My name is nobody?
Cheyenne?
Pfft Back to the Future 3. That's easy.
Well done, Manifest Class! It is indeed BTTF 3. Did MJF's stature give it away?
The shared actor, by the way, is Flea:

And must them be in English?
No, I don't think the movies need to link. My movie links in no way to what was posted before I don't think.
I'm not sure if movies need to be in English. The movie I posted isn't in English. :(
No, not pillow book.
Oh wait, it's so obvious, can't believe I missed it: The Social Network
Haha no. The Facebook logo is not there in the real movie. The real movie includes zero laughs.
Don't remember the name, but I think I have seen that one. Something to do with mermaid and something related to the sewer
^Yeah, Mermaid in a Manhole. One of those Guinea Pig movies. Well done!
Well I didn't get the exact title but ok.
Don't have time right now to post a new screen shot so someone else can take my place, but if no one posts something by later tonite, I will.

Whichever Terminator sequel released in 2015?
Edit: Just checked. There indeed was a Terminator film in 2015 (Genisys). Having never watched it I could only guess (in fact I've only watched T1 and T2; nether of which even watched in full).
Infini
or
Harbinger Down
I dunno but I just have it stuck in my head its a sci-fi or horror of some sort. That 2nd clue image I sort of concluded looks like its draining something or other from an examination table above (thought it was a coffee at first), combined with the first clue image of the retro style command prompt interface on the computer. Infini's computers/displays are much more futuristic so its unlikely to be that.
Avengers?
Tycho is correct, it's Infini (laugh)

Super 8?
The Spiderwick Chronicles?
2x nope
We Bought a Zoo
absolutely right! What gave it away?
Danvzare mentioned super 8 which i saw, then I remembered the actress, simple google image search with the key words "Elle Fanning roof" .. first result, the site it links to has the name of the movie ;)
Ok here is the next one, also one of my favorite movies:

nice try, but nope
Get Smart?
Is that the movie people get in ship and get small and then enter a body in syringe?
ah, that was fantastic voyage and nope it is not that movie. (I might also recommend the movie innerspace)
Here is another clue anyway, the movie is quite old and perhaps its not very well known so I will post 2 shots to help.

Um, now that you mention it. I did originally try to upload the first screenshot onto imgur, but they blocked/deleted it within a few mins. So I just uploaded to my server, but now that you mention the images being blocked in china I cant help but wonder if I uploaded sensitive images in context to copyright? I assume its ok to show still images from a movie?.. weird anyway..
Anyone else getting the images blocked? Perhaps I might delete all 3 images off my server just to be sure.. :/
Manifest are you just getting blank posts or is there a "this x is being blocked" replacement holder image or something?.. or some other error?
Also Jack its your turn..

Citizen kane
Catch-22?
That looks like a scene from Hogan's Heroes, but I am going to guess MASH?
That russian movie about a battleship? Potempkin maybe?
Guys, I'm preeetty sure it's Catch-22. Here's my thinking:
-It's a color film, looks to be shot in the 60s or 70s
-They're wearing American uniforms ca. WWII or Korea
-They're in a hangar-style building
-There's a map of Italy on the wall
(Catch-22 was released in 1970, and takes place on a US air force base in or around Italy during WWII, while Citizen Kane and Battleship Potemkin are black and white movies made long before WWII.)
-Also, a Google Image search for "Catch-22 film" brings up this:
(http://i.imgur.com/mkxdD9Y.jpg)
(If you look closely you can see her in the screenshot above as well.)
-Also also, I've seen Catch-22, and this looks quite familiar.
Yes indeed.. well done snarky! Yet another flick I urge folks to watch, perhaps one of the best casts ever in one movie
That part of the movie (hilarious)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrQppEXvRcM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrQppEXvRcM)
horusr I am very curious why you said Citizen Kane? :)
Well, I thought it is black and white. And I only watched Citizen Kane's sewer scene(I wish it was sewer) and said why not...
Quote from: horusr on Fri 04/08/2017 08:10:02

A sewer scene? Are you perhaps thinking of
The Third Man?
New one:
(http://i.imgur.com/bs4SnYy.jpg)
It's sort of accidentally connected to the last one, thematically, but really I'm picking it because I watched it yesterday.
ah... i was wondering because I thought it was either a good guess or very lucky guess. Orson Welles stars in citizen kane, and he has i think 2 tiny very short appearances in Catch 22, that screenshot being one of the scenes he appeared in :)
Vety lucky guess then :D
hows about a clue there snarky :D
OK, the title and credits are given in two languages (in two different alphabets), neither of them English.
Quote from: horusr on Fri 04/08/2017 08:10:02

You thought the colour picture was black and white?
D'oh! The film has disappeared from the streaming service I was using, so now I have to find screenshots online. No reverse-searching!
(http://i.imgur.com/sUBCU1t.jpg)
Is it european?
No.
(http://i.imgur.com/tfMaKo3.png?1)
its a tough one for sure. I did googling on movies with some connection with catch 22, haven't a clue though
The first pic, those two people look familiar, in particular the guy on the right, some kind of sports person/commentator perhaps? Cant think of his name anyway.
Odd since its a movie she is looking directly at the camera, my guess is the first pic is like an interview of some kind? Where she starts to tell a story of her life, then the movie switches to that time?
the 3rd pic looks like a musical, the 2nd pic I have no clue, perhaps some cult/hippy commune? under surveillance?
The costumes look Italian, or at least Latino, seems like its set in the late early 70s up to 80s, perhaps America or south of the border.
Still have no clue though.. heh
Quote from: Tycho Magnetic Anomaly on Tue 08/08/2017 19:53:32
the 3rd pic looks like a musical
This is the only hit so far: the film does have musical segments, though only about 3 or 4.
I was thinking the guy in the first pic looks a little like a young Richard Masur, so:
My Brothers Keeper
or
The Patriots?
No and no.
It's unlikely that you recognize any of the actors, perhaps apart from the star, who's also the director:
(http://i.imgur.com/vxbeUz2.jpg)
This image was also used on film posters.
had to do a reverse image search on this in the end... I am pretty sure I never would have got the answer in a million years.
Yeah, come on Snarky. 4 pics, including one of the lead actor and director, no correct guesses and two days of silence - you probably need to give us some major clues or give up on this one as too obscure.
But it's not an obscure movie. It came out quite recently, in 2011, played at Cannes, won the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival, had a theatrical release in lots of countries, and was widely reviewed (the first page of Google results include the NYT, WaPo, Guardian, RogerEbert.com and New Yorker; I first read about it on the AV Club). It's available on disc and streaming from Amazon.
OK, final try:
(http://i.imgur.com/HrILU0M.jpg?3)
The titles are in French and Arabic, and many reviews compare it to Lysistrata.
"Too obscure", i.e. for us, because obviously none of us could even guess or deduce it!
Okay, as no one else is going for it, I used the TFF clue and discovered it to be:
Where Do We Go Now? aka Et maintenant on va où? aka وهلّأ لوين؟
Here's mine:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/fzfdond.png[/imgzoom]
Correct.
Cloud Atlas?
Yep, you got it!
All right, let me try to think of something more in line with AGSers' viewing...

Deadfall?
No
Cleanup On Aisle Three? :-D

Hint: It's technically in the same genre as the last film, though at just about the other extreme of the budget range.
I think I've got it! That looks like Rockmond Dunbar from Prison Break and Sons Of Anarchy. A quick look down his imdb page for sci-fi films (same genre as Cloud Atlas) led me to Alien Raiders, which apparently takes place at "Hastings Supermarket". Is that the one?
Sure is! Just a shame that I didn't get a chance to post one of the finger-severing scenes (this film has several)... (laugh)
Good solve, too. It's cool when people use clues and details to figure it out even if they haven't actually seen it.
I sat there staring at that actor for ages trying to remember what I knew him from! Okay, next one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/iRSBHhn.png[/imgzoom]
Looks like Freddy, so A Nightmare On Elm Street? Tho I'm not sure which one precisely :=
It is indeed Freddy Krueger. Here's another pic:

4?
Nope!
Freddy Part 2?
6?
Quote from: Frodo on Mon 14/08/2017 16:30:11
Freddy Part 2?
You mean Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge?
Nope!
Also not 6 (aka Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare)
Has to be 5 then.
Amayirot should be up to play next anyways.
Um, no, Amayirot hasn't got the answer. And it's not Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child either. Here's one that may be more helpful. If no one gets it from this I'll post one with a massive clue.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/3nMyPFD.png[/imgzoom]
Wes Craven's The New Nightmare? Did they sneakily include clips from the other movies in there then? :=
No, it's not New Nightmare!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/rmYR07D.png[/imgzoom]
Oh, durr :P It's Freddy VS Jason.

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/5yy7aaS.png?1[/imgzoom]
Well then, from one slaughter to the next ;)
Having trouble picking out the details, but it looks like either some biomechanical weirdness or a high-tech slaughterhouse. I'll take a stab in the dark at Resident Evil...
I may watch cheesy stuff from time to time but nothing like that :=
I'll have you know the third and fourth films are pretty good!
extremely obscure screenshot, which hints to me the movie is very well know.. still that screenshot.. could be anything lol
I shall have some stabs in the dark
The Thing (re-make version)
Braindead
In Bad Taste
one of the SAW movies
one of the Hellraiser movies
Anything on IMDB with a search term of "horror" :P

None of those, and fair nuff, it did come out darker than intended. Sorry bout that.

Aliens

Definitely that obvious! Can't figure out where in the movie that first shot is from though. Funnily enough, although I said it looks biomechanical, it doesn't look HR Giger biomechanical!

Over to you!
Hey Snakry, I keep forgetting to ask what the connection between the movie you chose and catch 22? I spend a good bit of time trying to search for connections/affiliation between catch 22 and "some" other movie, I dont think I ever saw that one you chose come up :D
Well, like I said it was a thematic connection: they're both absurdist anti-war comedies with scenes of harrowing tragedy.

(http://static.wixstatic.com/media/162bcd_633fd42ae9c74a4383f04c78f0fd20f4~mv2.gif)
The reason I'm using this movie here is that I watched it last week and, although it can't really stand up against the great classic action movies of the past like the original Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys, etc...
It did something that Hollywood movies are forgetting how to do:
It remembered to be FUN!!! Yeah sure, stupid... but
FUN!!!
And there's a hint... It's not a Made In America movie, despite having a few A-List hollywood stars in the cast (not pictured)
The reason I guessed John Wick 2 was because I thought the woman w/ the sniper rifle was Ruby Rose...
Still thinking that's who it was I am going to guess xXx: Return of Xander Cage?
I haven't seen it but it fits the screens enough to make a guess!

Yes, that's the amazing Aussie: Ruby Rose...
And I must say to anyone who is tired of recently boring Hollywood action films to give
xXx: Return of Xander Cage a chance...
It's not perfect a lot of the time, but, like I said, it remembered to be FUN first and foremost!
I had a blast watching it and a sloppy smile on my face throughout...
Over to you Darth...
Wait, how is that not a Made In America movie?
@Mandle: another Action movie making fun all the way thorugh is the russian-american production HARDCORE HENRY := := := Check it out if you can bare crazy camera runs in first person! :D
Ruby Rose is quite lovely indeed.
I have added this movie (and John Wick 2) to my watch-list.

If you Google Image-search the picture along with "real genius", you'll find that it's Deborah Foreman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0286033/) (role of Susan Decker).

A Fish Called Wanda?
Deuce Bigalow?
No and no.
(http://i.imgur.com/1r98lLe.jpg)
Looks Star Trek-y
The Fifth Element
Yup, Darth got it.
It's actually one of my favorite movies. I have a sequel for it written (well, written in my head) called The Elements War. Some day I'll tell the tale...
Anyway on to the next:
(http://i.imgur.com/KQHv83Y.png)
Mutiny on the Bounty?
I think it's actually The Bounty (1984). That looks like Bernard Hill doing the whipping, and perhaps Mel Gibson to the right.
At first I thought that might have been Charlton Heston getting whipped..!
Yeah Ben got it!
I remember only loving the movie (when I was a kid) 'cause of all the boobies but it's actually a surprisingly good movie (with lots of boobies).
Next!
An easy one because I'm in a rush:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/WPGsAmD.png[/imgzoom]
That kinda looks like the towel ET used, so I'm guessing ET? :cool:
Nope!
Ghostbusters II
Correct! The clue was not a white towel but in fact the giant pink slime monster reaching out of the bath!
I never noticed the dodgy compositioning of the effect before.
(http://i.imgur.com/0v5hcqf.jpg)
Poltergeist?
Clearly those are women's feet in a South Asian prison.
Broke Down Palace?
No and no.
(http://i.imgur.com/9eCoXZH.jpg)
The disappearance of Alice Creed?
Aye.
cool. ok here is mine.
(https://s26.postimg.org/9dw6g3b0p/st80.png)
hint, it is not a war movie.
wow, didn't notice the mouse cursor. you can ignore that. must have been when i did a screen capture.
The cloths look weird. Is it one of the older Mad Max's or terminator 2?
Reservoir Dogs?
(wrong) and the movie is kind of old, but its actually more of an action/comedy.
The Goonies?
(A silly guess I think, but the actor reminds me of Corey Feldman. Looks too old to be him in The Goonies but I thought maybe that could be a trick of the light. I was imagining it could be from the scene where the kids are all messing around with the old pirate stuff in Mikey's attic.)
(wrong)

Bonus Image:

The Blues Brothers?
Planes, trains and automobiles?
Or, Midnight Run?
Smokey And The Bandit?
all (wrong)
I have another screenshot I would like to post but the actor is well known so it would give it away quite a bit. OK to show the screen shot with the main actors face distorted?
Sure. Or find one where he/she is behind someone/thing
Tango And Cash?
(wrong)
another screen image:
(https://s26.postimg.org/c8ogmnea1/maxresdefault.jpg)
Okay which movie was george hw bush in?
Seriously though, I had photoshop do a facial reconstruction. Does anyone recognise the actor?
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieRecontruct.jpg)
Select sector 6J... Zoom... STOP!... Pan right... Pan right... STOP THERE!... Zoom 200%... STOP!... Gimme a hard copy...
That's how I found the actor's reflection in the driver-side window and determined it to be:
No friggin' idea...
Jokes aside: It looks a bit like Jack Nicholson from the hair-line, but maybe a bit too narrow-faced. Possibly Lance Henriksen or James Wood? Woody Harrelson?
Or Kurtwood Smith?
(wrong) not the right actor but he is pretty recognizeable.
Christopher Lloyd?
Didn't recognize it at all from the first few but even w/ the face omitted I'm fairly certain I know the actor and the movie but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it! I could look it up easily ('cause of the actor) but I want to get it without looking it up!
Oh crap.... that chin... is that Michael Douglas?
Falling Down? (yeah, hardly a comedy but...)
(wrong) havent gotten the correct actor yet.
Darth do whatever you would like there. As far as I know the only thing your not supposed to do is use google image search.
Another image: This one shows the actor so hopefully this will go faster. This is a very good movie if you like comedies.
(https://s26.postimg.org/hlmzz6adl/v1.bjs1_Nzc.jpg)
After turning the picture upside down I still have no frigging idea who this is.
Short Time
Always been a Dabney Coleman fan. Cloak and Dagger is my favorite film of his and he was amazing in Boardwalk Empire.
I must admit I eventually gave in and IMDBd it for the title. I wouldn't, I realized after seeing the title, have remembered it anyway.
I won't be able to post the next round until tomorrow so if anybody wants to hijack my turn feel very welcome to it!
I'll hijack Darth's round then. :wink:
Who recognises this film?
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/g6RQcrs.png[/imgzoom]
Correct Darth, and that is a very funny movie. The premise might even make a good adventure game.
Altered States?
Nope
Second Sight (1989).
I had to really work to track this one down.
I thought that was John Larroquette so I IMDBd his filmography and came up with a few possibilities based on how old he appears in the shot to get a timeline (the dude's got a lot of films under his belt).
I looked up screenshots from a few of the movies and stumbled across this one (https://media.baselineresearch.com/images/281117/281117_full.jpg) which cemented it.
Wow, nice work Darth :cheesy:
Yep, it's Second Sight - a hilarious film! I recommend anyone to watch it. :grin:

Another easy one then:

The Fugitive?
The Shawshank Redemption?
*Bump*
A quicky while we wait for Gurok:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/QBNnHfB.png[/imgzoom]
I'm sorry, guys. I honestly forgot about this. Ben X can take over ^^
Continuing sewer motiff. Must be because of the new "It"...
So:
"It" (original)?
Looks like "The Fugitive" to me.
Correct, Quintaros, it is The Fugitive!
Let's try this one, a pretty iconic scene from an underseen movie:
(http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5432d793eab8ea5f3efce97c-1190-625/how-a-1977-box-office-bomb-became-a-cult-classic-35-years-later.jpg)
Monster Truck?
That has to be from "Sorcerer", friedkin' excellent movie!
Of course, Chrille! I should have known you would be familiar with this film. I just watched it for the first time and was quite enthralled.
I recently watched it for the first time as well. Much better than I expected!
Here's a scene from a movie of the "so bad it's good" genre :-D.
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethemovie001.jpg[/imgzoom]
This actor could offer a clue, but it might be too obscure a movie anyway.
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethemovie002.jpg[/imgzoom]
That looks like Danny Trejo, but a Google of "Danny Trejo dummy" gave me nothing!
Death Wish 4
I had no clue. I searched "Danny Trejo restaraunt scene" and came across the wonderful scene on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnhpqTWId9c).
The first shot doesn't look anything like him (the mannequin) but I, like Ben X, recognized him from the second.
I always feel dirty when I track it down instead of recognizing it!
Haha indeed it is, well done!
I would've linked to that very clip myself when somebody guessed the right movie. Thanks for doing it for me :-D
Sorcerer appears to be on YouTube in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dosmm28Zf8
A rather obscure movie from my childhood (hint) but I'm curious to know if anybody in the AGS crowd was one of the 4 other people who has seen this movie!
(https://i.imgur.com/sn3Fg9m.png)
Hmm from your childhood... possibly Voyage of the Mimi? (Anyone else have that experience in grade 6?! :P)
I loved Voyage of the Mimi! I still want to work on a boat.
Is that Sleepaway Camp? I hope you didn't see that as a kid. It would have scarred me for life.
Storm Boy?
Piranha II: The Spawning?
All wrong so far!
(http://i.imgur.com/5YGSYcf.jpg)
Should I post another one?
I'm tapping out. Korean Rambo? No idea.
I'll post one more that might be enough (the next screenshot I have lined up will be a big enough clue to solve this one)...
(https://i.imgur.com/fr2aUbu.png)
Eliminators (1986) ?
That's the one!!!
Normally I put something like, "highly under-rated movie" or some such in my last reply but, in this case, the movie was just horrible!
It did have its moments, but generally was just horrible!
I'm curious... have you actually seen it? If not, how'd you track it down?
No, I have not seen the movie... pretty sure I would remember if I had. (laugh)
Good observation of your latest pic and google... I typed "movie cyborg tank" then pressed enter and got my answer in the first link. (roll)
Let's see how long this one will take. :-D Seen this one not long ago on TV.
(http://i.imgur.com/9dup8Dn.png)
PS - Ignore the YouTube interface... I don't have the movie to get a better image.
No guesses?
New clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/gXUNU25.jpg)
28 Days Later? It looks pretty empty.
Nope
Spoiler
Hint: The name of the movie is on the bus...
Gone Girl?
no
El Mariachi?
Does the movie involve a guy coming back after a long time in jail to have another try at the bank robbery that landed him in jail in the first place? I think I recognise that street corner, but could be wrong. Can't remember the movie name anyway though.
Are you thinking of Henry's Crime?
No, no and no...
If this one doesn't give it away, the next one will for sure:
(https://i.imgur.com/lD4i8MB.jpg)
The Sixth Sense?
No, that's not the same kid. (roll) And movie isn't that old either. ;)
We all remember that scene in The Sixth Sense where a big black bus with "The Sixth Sense" written on it drives down the street, right?
(laugh)
If it helps, the Bus is not black, but dark blue.
... The Big Blue?
lol, no (laugh)
EDIT: As promised... this one should give it away (you either recognize the scene or one or more of the actors, making it easy to track down ;)) .
(http://i.imgur.com/wBYJNXh.jpg)
Salem's Lot? (wild guess)
Teen Wolf?
Flubber?
Wild guess...
Boychoir (2015)?
edit did some more digging and I found this image (https://clairestbearestreviews.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/clairestbearestreviews_filmreview_boychoir_singboy.jpg) which, I think, clinches it but I'll wait for your validation! (nod)

Your turn!
Yeah, okay!
For the record I tracked it down by searching for "Kathy Bates and Allan Rickman" (didn't realize it was Dustin Hoffman instead of Rickman)and eventually tracked it down. I had never even heard of this movie.
On to the next one which is, I think, pretty simple...

This was the second bonus clue, incidentally ^^
Took me a while to make sure we hadn't had the movie Clue before, as the word shows up so often in this thread!
Yay, lucky guess :D I'll pass along my turn tho cause I don't have anything ready right now.
How about this?
(https://i.imgur.com/YKTPla9.jpg)
Hehe, yes, that's the one. I often end up seeing movies on tv that have already started, just because there's a kid in the main role. (roll)(laugh)
Anyway, happy you end one with the show. :-D
No idea about that movie though, but rather sure I would remember if I had seen that ugly art before. (laugh)
^Hehe yeah actually when you hear the answer you'll likely remember this scene. I cut out the characters in the above image. It's a pretty iconic film, so most full images would give it away way too easily.
Here's another cropped image:

One day soon, image recognition will be good enough that you can do a Google Image Search for "Ray Wise in sixpence hat" and instantly find matching screenshots. Today is not that day.
It's The Journey of Natty Gann, though.
It is indeed! Loved that movie when I was a kid. From the greatest year of movies in Hollywood history, 1985.
Sorry for the crappy quality. Once again a movie I recently watched on streaming is no longer available:
(https://i.imgur.com/RsJlI7m.jpg)
I don't immediately recognize the movie... but I think that's Michael Berryman?
Weird Science?
My Science Project?
Both "science" titled movies from [the greatest year in Hollywood history] 1985 (nod)
All wide of the mark so far, including "Hollywood" (as I think this next one gives away).
(https://i.imgur.com/qT5v83w.jpg)
I don't expect this to actually be very helpful, but it showed up among the screencaps I took and it looks spooky enough that I want to share it:
(https://i.imgur.com/xC7ZVtQ.png)
No one wants to give it a shot? Let's make it a bit easier, then:
(https://i.imgur.com/UnxETvq.jpg)
I really don't know hmm. It does look like Berryman in that one screenshot, but I don't know.
The Exorcist?
No, not Berryman or The Exorcist. One of these shots is of a famous actor, who should be recognizable if you look close.
Is that William Peterson? To Live and Die in LA? Manhunter?
No. Maybe this helps:
(https://i.imgur.com/2D1pb20.png)
The Ipcress File?
That's the one, with a young Michael Caine (whom I thought for sure someone would recognize in that close-up, even sweaty and unshaven) in one of his signature roles: he has played Harry Palmer in six movies and one unofficial sequel, not to mention spoofs in Austin Powers and Kingsman.
I did not recognise Caine at all until that last pic! In the beardy sweaty one, the closest guess I could make was Ryan Gosling!
Here's the next one, with a link to the previous:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/pfaiaYL.png[/imgzoom]
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?
That's the one! Ian McDiarmid making the most of one of his few lines, there.
Hmm... I guess I misremembered it as being a bigger part for McDiarmid.

The Wicker Man?
Indeed.
"Summerisle" rather gave it away :-D
(https://i.imgur.com/FNgdlpl.jpg)
Yeah, I hoped it would.
So that photo doesn't start moving or anything? It looks so much like an effects shot!
Haha, no it's a regular photograph but it sort of sets the films events into motion.
Yeah, it's one of the girls whose disappearance he goes there to investigate, right?
Any guesses for the latest? (There's an accidental/spurious link of sorts...)
The clock seems familiar, but I'm likely thinking of one of hundreds of others! I'll guess Addams Family Values.
Nope.

Sound Of Music?
Heidi?
;-D No
Opening scene from The Shining?
No...
(https://i.imgur.com/FVPThpm.jpg)
Legend?
Nope, but you're circling around the answer, so let me just post this last one before someone gets it:
(https://i.imgur.com/guPaLFh.jpg)
Boy that looks like the old version of the dove leaving Rutger Hauer's hand at the end of Blade Runner. And the theatrical cut contained some leftover footage from The Shining. But I didn't recognize the clock. Is it also a shot that's specific to the theatrical cut?
You got it dude!
With what's probably the most-often-guessed movie on this thread, that almost everyone has seen, and that is especially relevant this week with the release of the sequel, I felt I had to pick some tricky caps if it wasn't going to be immediately obvious.
The mountains are from the theatrical version (as you say, unused footage shot for
The Shining).
The dove shot is used, I think, in all the old versions: workprint, theatrical cut and Director's Cut (but there exists a deleted scene of a different one (https://youtu.be/7xBKrz0wdsM?t=39m44s) – I'm curious why it wasn't used). I personally think they went a bit too far dystopin' it up for the Final Cut: I would have liked to keep a hint of blue sky to better maintain the symbolism of the shot. (This is my number one complaint about that version of the movie, to the point where I almost want to redo it myself so that I can splice it into the film at that point.)
The forest is from the unicorn scene, of course (which has been — incorrectly — rumored to be footage from
Legend), specifically the shot used in the Final Cut. I wasn't sure whether the version from the Director's Cut or Final Cut would be harder to recognize, but personally it's the DC version that I visualize when I think of the scene.
The cuckoo clock is from JF Sebastian's apartment (it's right when Pris spraypaints herself with raccoon eyes). The screencap is taken from the Final Cut, but I'm pretty sure it is present in other versions as well (there's a whole bit where it goes off and she glances over at it). I thought this was the one shot that is arguably least misleading about the contents of the movie, and the one shot that anyone who has seen any version of
Blade Runner was guaranteed to have seen, so it's funny that it's the one you couldn't recognize.
Spoiler
BTW, as I was taking the screencaps I came across a version of the ending (https://youtu.be/7xBKrz0wdsM?t=42m8s) I don't remember seeing before (though I must have, since it's from an extra in the box set and I watched all of those), where Rachael and Deckard actually have a whole conversation in the car as they're driving away (in this version they're just driving along a road in California, not swooping through snow-peaked mountains):
(https://i.imgur.com/RWXR0Dn.jpg)
"You know what else I think? You and I were made for each other."
Edit: Oh, and also BTW, the accidental/spurious link with the last one was that in
Blade Runner there actually
is a special effects shot of a photo that comes to life for a brief second (Rachael's photo of what she thinks is herself as a child with her mother).
Yes, I always thought the blue sky in the original dove scene was a choice until I read later that the dove simply wouldn't fly with the rain machines running. I'm at peace with them modifying that for the Final Cut. The blue sky was perhaps a little too on the nose.
Spoiler
I've watched all the different versions and do recall that line. It's a definite groaner. One of the most common criticisms of Blade Runner is that there is no chemistry between Deckard and Rachel. I think that makes the movie more interesting. It's not romantic. But that line in addition to being a wink at the ambiguity of Deckard also implies a romantic chemistry that is not there.
I don't know how I feel about the Blade Runner sequel. I was never clamouring for one. And Harrison Ford's track record for resurrecting old characters has not been good. But it seems to be getting good reviews so now I'm starting to get interested.
Well done indeed Snarky on piecing together such an amazing puzzle for Blade Runner fans out of all the different cuts from different versions!!!
I had no idea, and I'm quite a fan of the movie! Haven't seen it in a while though...
Excited about the sequel though!

Sticking to a Stanley Kubrick theme with 2001: A Space Odyssey?
Was there a Kubrick theme going on? Of course you're correct. Difficult to find any image from that movie that isn't a giveaway.
Yeah no kidding. Most scenes are a giveaway, and I appreciate you keeping the mammoth skeleton in there to at least give us a clue. 8-)
Alright maybe this one's too easy...

That's the one.
Gahh, I didn't even bother to do an image search on that film because for some reason I thought it was in colour!
Let's stay monochrome :)

Hidden Fortress?
Hard to Be a God?
Good Ideas (Snarky, did you see HtbaG? It was a terrific experience imho...) but double nope.
No I haven't, but it's definitely on my to-watch list. In fact, let me see if I can reserve it from the library right now...
...Also The Lobster. I need to see that. And Evolution (2015). Art-house sci-fi FTW!
(After some quick internetting, I could get The Lobster through the library, but not Hard to Be a God or Evolution. Oh well, some other time...)
BTW, I watched Blade Runner 2049 last night, and was only moderately whelmed. As extensions to the original movie go, I prefer the Westwood game.
Here is a another one :D
(https://i.imgur.com/csW39MV.jpg)
Hard to be a God looks amazing and a bit intense to say the least. For those with Amazon Prime, The Lobster is available for free streaming right now.
I haven't seen it, but it's on my list too.
My new guess is "The Artist"
We are going in the right direction. It's made almost at the same time.

(laugh)
Yeah, I didn't expect it to be very difficult â€" didn't check whether it was part of any of the trailers, though. (Of course, Sky probably cut their own TV spots.) For those who haven't seen it, it's a fun action movie of the "one last heist" variety. Jon Hamm is good in it, playing a charmingly sleazy, drugged-up gangster.
I wasn't commenting on the difficulty, just found it an amusing coincidence that the day after identifying this shot, it was thrown in my face every two minutes with the film name imposed on it!
Anyway: AMAYIROT IT IS YOUR GO.

Hoorah! I just finished an X-Men marathon, and although I didn't bother with that one I did remember that they tend to give young Magneto metal objects with symbolic relevance so he can whup people with them later.
Hmmm. Okay, a moving one this time. Probably easy, has a relatively obvious link with previous.

No, that was my cunning trap.

And yes, Baby Driver is awesome. :) Hmm.. the new screenshot however, is a mystery to me. I can kinda make out one of the signs.
"STOP THE.. something something"? Oh well. If not Gone Girl, how about 'Gone Baby Gone'?
The Ghost Writer had a similar scene, but I'm not sure if that's the right film.

Ahhh ..... Room?
Spot on.
I knew I recognized it and I like the misdirection from the second shot (thinking it's a girl). The third shot was too memorable for me 'cause I imagined myself having to roll my own son up in a carpet under such circumstances... damn near made me vomit.
That was an emotionally draining movie. I don't know if I have the endurance to ever watch it again.
Here's a vastly underrated movie from the distant past...

Easy as pie. Excellent film.
The Hudsucker Proxy?
Time Cop? Doesn't quite fit the 'excellent film' bill though.
It's Raining Men?
EDIT: Oh, maybe "Little Shop Of Horrors"?
Another movie I have never ever seen and just happen to know about :D
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/gIgDzru.png[/imgzoom]
That blur is interesting. Is this shot through the "eyes" of an animal? Or is it just very old? :D
Or maybe a vehicle filming the mars surface?
Looks like a modern film.
Through the eyes of an animal?
Pitch Black or Riddick :D
I would bet on the former.
Is this from 1982's (criminally under-rated) classic The Beastmaster starring Marc Singer and the incomparable Tanya Roberts?
The Philadelphia experiment? ???
The Color Purple? :P

Big clue:
It's certainly big. "Big" in and of itself doesn't mean a shit-ton of extra information however...
But:
It looks like we have bug-like creatures crawling around inside some kind of mechanism. Looks like stainless steel so I'm guessing a medical machine given the previous pic.
Apart from that I'm clueless...
Close Encounters?

Damn.... I've seen this movie. I remember the trees on fire. But I cannot remember what it was...
Yeah I've seen this too... LONNNNGGGG time ago.
I remember there was a group of people having a party or something and they started shooting artillery (or some odd weapons) at the trees and I was completely confused about it.
I'll be damned if I can remember what movie it was though.
Wild guess; Logan's Run?
How Not To Be Seen :grin: :-D :grin: :-D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTQYEkIvN2M
Darth described the scene exactly right. It's not Logan's Run but another SciFi film of the same era.
I presented one from Logan's Run and Quintaros guessed it so I would doubt he would present one of the same movie. I do think I might have seen the movie but dont remember what movie it was right now.
Quote from: Quintaros on Wed 01/11/2017 13:55:43
Darth described the scene exactly right. It's not Logan's Run but another SciFi film of the same era.
My immediate guess from this clue was Fahrenheit 451, but I feel like we've had that recently too and it didn't feel right so I discounted it. I made a second guess of
Rollerball, and did a search for "Rollerball tree burn" which confirmed it. (I haven't seen that movie in about ten years, so I don't remember either of these scenes, but I did love it.)
The tree burn scene is a little heavy handed showing the decadent lifestyle of the rich, senselessly firing flare guns at trees. The other image is a computer depository of knowledge. I always thought that as far as older films go at depicting futuristic super computers this one was pretty interesting.
Here's another vision of the future for you:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/fp1SpeK.png[/imgzoom]
I want to say Back to the Future 2... but isn't that the past now? :D
Well, I meant a vision of the future from the film-makers' perspective, but this future is indeed post-2017. So no, not BTFF 2.
(I just checked when Rollerball is set - it's 2018! Almost there! I wouldn't be surprised if Trump instituted an ultra-violent national propaganda-sport tbh.)
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. And since I'm not into obscure movies someone else take my turn, please.
Correct. Are you saying that this is an obscure movie, though? Did you have to image search it?
Not obscure for me, this one. Last time I watched it was two months ago. In this picture you can see the early 90's aesthetics of the second movie with its neon-ish coloured clothes.
Okay. I find your comment a bit confusing, then. I don't think it's a rule on this thread to pick obscure movies...
It's not? Maybe I just don't know enough stuff. As I said, someone take my turn, please.
Nope, it's not (although some people do play as if it is). And it's been less than an hour, give us a chance!
Alright, I'll take your go:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/atKjUKy.jpg[/imgzoom]
Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings?
No, but it was released almost exactly at the halfway point between the first books of those two series.
Three men and a poodle?
That's no poodle.
It's a new hope.
Or Logan's Run.
It certainly was a new hope for blockbuster sci-fi cinema, but it's not Three Men And A Poodle or Logan's Run.

It is not Logan's Run, as I've already said. No one's ever going to get it if they don't pay close attention!
Hmmm, given the monkey on the left, maybe Return to the Planet of the Apes?
Don't be stupid, Snarky. That was the tv series, not a movie.
I recognize one of the actors. Is that Bridge on a River Kwai?
No, Bridge on a River Kwai is not in this movie.

That was an early working title for the tv series before Rod Serling decided that revenge was uncharacteristic of the planet of the apes, and you know it.

Apologies for the quality, it's really hard to find images from this movie, so this is from someone's home filming of a VHS tape.

Yes, back to you :D
Actually Look Who's Back but I'll let you have it in the spirit of reciprocating mercy.
Oh man, I haven't seen that movie and know nothing about it except the one thumbnail and description that Netflix had front and centre for months.
Also, annoying because I went to search the name of the film to make sure I got it right and Google auto-completed to that incorrect version. I didn't even bother hitting enter, I just assume that would be correct!

Awesome! Your are right! I remember now this episode/time/story. And now I am also in the mood to rewatch this little big gem :) the most expensive german movie of all time and a huge flop (laugh) (roll) :~(
That was a pretty damn good film.
“The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences of our words and deeds that go on apportioning themselves throughout all time. Our lives are not our own; from womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness we birth our future.â€
It's no superhero movie, granted.

Warcraft? :confused:
Year of release? That means there were multiple similar sequels?
Is it one of the Underworld movies?
Maybe Underworld: Bloodwars (2016)?
Oops, sorry, I meant to post another image last night before going to bed...
And no to both, it's neither a sequel or has a sequel (as far as I know anyway).
Here's one, if this doesn't give it away, I have a better one, that anyone should be able to guess from it. (laugh)

You got it. Little Kevin Arnold was playing the classic
Hardball at the beginning of the movie just before the Gandpa arrived.
You're up!
Darn, I finally knew one after such a long time.
I watched it just a few weeks ago for like the 100th time (seriously, my girlfriend when I was a teen only ever wanted to watch two movies: "The Princess Bride" and "Some Kind of Wonderful" so whenever I had the choice I would be like "Oh God, please The Princess Bride!!!").
It's a testiment to how good a movie it is that I still watch it from time to time.
Wow, I'm amazed that I got something because I usually suck at these.

Yeah yeah. I have seen the movie hundreds of times(wifes favorite so if it is ever on we gotta watch it), but usually catch it somewhere in the middle or at least after it is 10 minutes into it. Forgot at the start of the movie that was what was going on.
The special features on the DVD of The Princess Bride are amazing.
If you can watch Robin Wright's interview where she talks about her friendship with Andre The Giant without tearing up a little then you are made of stone.

Or Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1?
Amayirot got it!

Guessing some kinda western movie. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly?
Red Dead Redemption?
(Oops, sorry wrong thread...)
Serious guess:
The Alamo?
Cool Hand Luke?
Holes?
It's partially set in California, but it's not a western...
The Wizard?
No. It's also not a videogame-related adventure comedy-drama :)
This is a true story set in the last century.
One of the lead actors died this year.
Just to throw something out there based on the clue of it being a true story I am going to guess:
Erin Brockovich (sp?)
Not that...
At least 4 of the main characters are household names.
The same is true of the actors playing them.
The Right Stuff?
Quintaros, just so!
Cool. I wasn't sure if many of the pilots/astronauts would still be considered a household name today.

I'd say Chuck Yeager, Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard, John Glenn are household names.
(Funny that the actors include a Shepard and a Glenn!)
Suspicion? I haven't seen it, but it looks an awful lot like what this is spoofing:

Nope. I think she's a bigger name than Lamarr.

You guessed it correctly a year ago today! :O
Is that Bette Davis? My guess is All About Eve on the basis that I might be right. Not quite sure it is though.
It's not Bette Davis, either. Maybe not quite as big a name as she.

*pokes Quintaros* :tongue:
Still waiting for some guesses.
One of the Thin Man films? Not the first one, because I remember she had shorter hair in it (or at least a different hairdo).
Again, you're on the right track Lorenzo. Perhaps this will help you identify the specific entry in the series:
(https://i.imgur.com/7OgJpqA.png)
I think that may be the third one, where they go to some sort of family gathering. Don't remember the name (this is where I gave up on the series).
I guess there's no point in having people going through the motions of rattling off the different titles. This is the fourth entry "Shadow of the Thin Man". I haven't noticed any drop in quality as the series goes on. The mysteries are never really my focal point and I just enjoy the relationship of Nick and Nora. Anyway, give this round to Lorenzo.
I don't think I would've guessed the right title. I haven't seen those film in some time and to make matter worse some of the Italian titles are a bit different from the original ones. For example, the "thin man" was translated as the "shadow man", creating the silly title "The Shadow of the Shadow Man".

Nope!
Here's another image from the film:

High Sierra?
No Humphrey Bogart in this film! But the main actor of this movie had a role in a comedy with Bogart.
(https://i.imgur.com/pXNtIPL.jpg)
I almost made a guess after the first image since that shack looked familiar, but with the second scene I'm certain it's Jacques Tourneur's grim noir 'Nightfall'. He's one of my favourite directors from that period.
You're right, it's Nightfall!
I've seen a few films by Tourneur, like Out of the Past and I Walked with a Zombie, and they were pretty good.
Cat People and Night of the Demon are also worth checking out. Anyway:

Rose Red?
Nope! Sorry about the late answer.

Kinda looks like Uma Thurman...
Nope, the actress in that scene is much older than Thurman by now, and probably not particularly well known...

War never changes.No one saw Fallout?
I was getting a dark Italian vibe.
Also looks very late 70s/early 80s.
Presumably it's Dario Argento... doesn't look like any I've seen though - not enough saturated colors!
I'll guess Inferno.

Italian cult horror was probably not a good choice, then!
Uhh, something by Lucio Fulci? The Beyond?
Cemetary Man?
Ben's right, it's The Beyond!
Ha ha, amazing! A complete guess! I think I picked that up on DVD years ago in a newsagent bargain bin but never got past the slow build-up section.
Here's a scene that your second pic reminded me of:

Hehe, I love this film. It's so stupid but always makes me laugh.
Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises.
El Guapo: Many pinatas?
Jefe: Oh yes, many!
El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
Anyway, here's a new image:

Aw, I thought the image might fool people a bit, but you're 100% correct! ;-D I watched it again recently with my kids, had completely forgotten that she was in it.
El Guapo is the greatest! (laugh)
Well I am a Teri Hatcher fan. I had a crush on her when she played Penny Parker on Mcgyver. Although I never could get into Lois & Clark...

Make sure that none of them are red though...
Hahaha the washing the new paint off the side of the car and then the mirror truck driving by is one of my favorite movie gags of all time... Zemickis is/was AMAZING!!!
(nod)correct
that was a funny part and not sure, but wasnt it he was afraid to drive a yellow car? seem to think he saw it had been a yellow taxi
Could be a new Mandela Effect?!

Although, you could say, the film is so good, it's magical *groans from the crowd* :tongue:
that looks like a young Weird Al Yankovic so I will guess UHF?
Sorry, no weird Al Yankovics or UHFs in this film.
Not one I've actually seen but based on your clue... Magic Mike?
Sorry, no.
EDIT: The 'film is magical' comment wasn't a clue, it was just a pun for Dan's 'The Wizard' guess. :wink:
CLUE: Damian is the greatest poet alive. :wink:
Is this a... Scottish film?

It's American film.

"Mission: Impossible â€" Ghost Protocol"?
That was fast :D Yes indeed. Best movie of the bunch. So much silly fun.
Oh, too late... I would have recognize Noah's back anywhere... (laugh)

Here's mine, super-obscure link to previous:

Aladdin?
Or perhaps The Hunchback of Notre-Dame...
If I had to choose one, it would be Aladdin.
You chose... wisely! It is indeed Aladdin! Tenuous link is that the lead character was supposedly modeled after Mr Cruise.
Hell of a coincidence, I started playing the Sega Mega Drive game based on that just earlier tonight :D

I honestly have no idea if this is an easy one or a hard one.
But I do know that I want the year the film was released along with the title. (And yes, that is kind of, sort of, a hint... maybe.)
Can't see the screenshot but I'll take a guess...
Is it 2012 from 2009?
I can't see it either. I'll guess Death Race 2000 from 1975.
Alright, that was weird. I couldn't see the screenshot either. I seem to have gotten it working again though.
Sorry about that.
The snowman?
Ghostbusters 2016?
A guess.
I think this is Jack Frost, but the 1997 horror one with the misleadingly scarier DVD cover, not the sappy 1998 Michael Keaton one.
If not that, maybe a Troma film like Rabid Grannies or Frostbiter?
Quote from: Ben X on Sun 24/12/2017 21:30:26

It's actually Jack Frost 2, but your guess is close enough for me since you figured out it was the horror one. :-D
Your turn.
Okay, to continue the pattern, I will need the year as well as the title, because this is not the Michael Keaton version:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/zMmejfG.png[/imgzoom]
That looks like Riki Lindhome...
I don't think she's starred in any decent films :)
I'll guess Last House On The Left (2009) - just because it's obviously a remake.
The still looks like it's from a comedy horror though.
Correct, it does.
Incorrect, she has.
Incorrect, this is not Last House On The Left.
Incorrect, it does not.
from just the clues I would say "Much ado about nothing."(2012) Both Riki and Michael have been in the movie by the same name at different times.
Bingo, well done dayowlron! And good work on the actor ID, Kweepa!
I don't have one right now and kind of busy at the moment. If you don't want to post one Kweepa(thx for the assist) I would say we can open it up to anyone.

Cool! I don't remember much from it, but I do remember the radio station.
This film might be a little obscure, so I'll go straight to a pretty revealing screen:
(https://i.imgur.com/1jYXw6c.jpg)
Selma?
Nope.
(https://i.imgur.com/jorZ4Sz.jpg)
A United Kingdom?
Exactly!
I would recommend it. Well-made film starring David Oyelowo (who did play MLK in Selma) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) about a fascinating true story:
African prince falls in love with English clerk and marries her; when he tries to return to his home country to take up the crown, opposition both from the British Empire (trying to appease apartheid South Africa) and from his own tribe threatens their love and the hope for freedom for his country â€" Bechuanaland, the future Botswana.
I did a Selma google to check my guess, and thought the hairstyles didn't match, but went for it anyway!
I too thought Selma at first but thought Oyelowo looked thinner in Snarky's screenshot (plus he mentioned it was an obscure movie).
It'll be a couple of days before I get a chance to post a new movie so you can take it if you want, Ben.
It creates issues when the lobolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobolo) can't be paid as per custom.
Okay, I'll go, thanks Quint :)

It's definitely more than mediocre. But there is nothing "simpático" in this movie :=
All around assholes ;)
Mad Max, yo.
Yes.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_102.jpg)
I've seen that one recently... One the Mission Impossibles (4 or 5) perhaps? Or is it Jack Reacher 2? Or maybe "The Martian"?
None of those.
Transformers?
No.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_103.jpg)
Doesn't look quite right, but Tomorrow Never Dies?
Space Cowboys (2000) ?
(that kind of reminds me of the back of Clint Eastwoods head... :-D )
Neither of those.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_104.jpg)
Stealth?
No, this is a pretty new film.
Is that American Made?
No. It's not Barry Seal either.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_105.jpg)
Aloha? That awefully boring Bradley Cooper Flick?
Yes, but I quite liked it. Bill Murray being his usual self.
"Thank you for saving the world, sir."
"You're very welcome."

Me too! But that's because I am a person who doesn't care about standards of how directors are having to tell stories without being boring while they do it. I love me some dullness from time to time. I remember some Hawaii scenes looked great and I was hooked as soon as I noticed that Emma Stone AND Rachel McAdams are in it. Those two improve mediocre movies visually to a pretty high degree. :=

The Artist?
Nope. This time it's as old as it looks ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/emhY5ep.jpg)
The Invisible man?
The Vampire Bat?
Nope. It's a silent movie.
Looks like an old movie and looks mysterious, so I am thinking Alfred Hitchcock so I am going to make a few guesses.
Number 13
Blackmail
Murder!
Number 17
Secret Agent
The Lodger.
I stumbled across it while looking up Alfred Hitchcock's silent movies. I actually had no idea he had even made silent movies. I'll have to check some out. I imagine his genius works well with the silent film medium.
Dayowlron deserves the win.
yep. It's his debut! and it looks even today pretty fantastic. it'ts on prime video, if someone cares 8-)
next one please!
Thats ok Mandle, you can take it.
Okay then:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/24ctg82.jpg)
My first guess would be: Big but it's probably not that.
Mazes & Monsters?
It's a far-out game ;) Here's an easy one.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/a9XAJxP.png[/imgzoom]
Raising Arizona?
Nah, nothing like that.
28 Days Later.

Ah.... so obvious now that I know... damn!
Bingo, Ben X ;)
Bingo, you say?
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/II9cSx0.png?1[/imgzoom]
Is that the next screen shot? Is that from a movie called Bingo?
Yes. No.
Bad Grandpa.
Bingo!
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_106.jpg[/imgzoom]
Full Metal Jacket?
Yeah baby.
(https://i.imgur.com/hK1LrgN.jpg)
Complete guess: Ice Cold In Alex?
(Though I suspect this is a relatively modern film.)
To Kill A Mockingbird?
(wrong)
Quote from: Ben X on Fri 23/02/2018 22:15:06
(Though I suspect this is a relatively modern film.)
The film is from 1950. Not too modern, I would say. ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/1lJ2PzW.jpg)
Ah, okay. It's been cleaned up really well, then!
Well, that looks a bit like Sterling Hayden so I'm going to guess at his 1950 film The Asphalt Jungle.
You're right! It's The Asphalt Jungle, a great film by John Huston.
Your turn, Ben X!
Woo! Next one, with connection to previous:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Afod2oz.png[/imgzoom]
That's Doctor Strangelove! And the connection is Sterling Hayden, who is in both films.
Boom! You got it!
This film too is related to the previous picture:
(https://i.imgur.com/L8zY5YL.jpg)
Down By Law?
No, it's older than Down By Law.
(https://i.imgur.com/hv92XzF.jpg)
Hmmm... I've definitely seen it, and given a link to the previous... is it The Killing?
You're right, Snarky! (nod)
I was pretty sure it was. :)
Sticking with black and white:
(https://i.imgur.com/NYAuiWQ.jpg)
Kiss Me Deadly?
Well spotted! Correct.
One of my favourite movies from the 50's, and here's another :-D
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethemovie011.jpg[/imgzoom]
I was gonna say that's obviously The Manchurian Candidate, but that's from 1962 and the mind control scene doesn't quite look like that. So now I'm curious...
Hmm, might be no one here has seen it. Some clues will follow after this next one:
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethemovie012.jpg[/imgzoom]
I believe that's Tourneur's Night of the Demon.
I've watched it after you recommended it on this thread! (laugh)
Bingo! :-D
(https://i.imgur.com/p657iQe.png)
That looks like Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas so I will guess Out of the Past?
Correct! (nod)
Cool. Anyone can take my turn. I have a couple of busy days ahead of me
Let me snatch that... :=
(https://i.imgur.com/0WMOKHH.jpg)
Over a day of no guesses probably means we'll need another clue!
I have no idea, so I'll guess Chi-Raq.
Alright, a shot with some main characters:

Quote from: Ben X on Sun 04/03/2018 10:59:57
I've seen it, but I didn't recognise it.
Fair enough, I did make it harder by taking more sneaky screenshots
That actress BTW is Faye Dunaway. Like me, most people probably know the name but not the face.
This might get pretty hard if no one recognises the shot right away:
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_107.jpg)
I know the face but I didn't recognise it.
Looks spooky so I'll guess Poltergeist
I also got a Poltergeisty vibe from it, but no.
Complete guess: Upstream Color?
Nein.
(http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_108.jpg)
Pompeii?
No.

Insidious?
Non.

Whoever designed amd lit that set have played Myst for sure.
I thought I was in the guess the game thread.
Hmmm, not sure what is going on but I can no longer see Jack's avatar or any screenshots he posts?! Yet everyone else's shows up fine?! This happened about a week ago I believe. Sorry to get off subject, just puzzled. (wtf)
His avatar seems to be working for me so must be something on your end.
I want to say I have seen this movie but it was many years ago. Guessing at least in the 80s if not sooner.
Nightmare on Elm Street?

dayowlron, I'll jump in.
(https://i.imgur.com/9afLCDK.jpg?1)
OH MY I think I know this one.
I want to say it was about an modern aircraft carrier that goes back in time to just prior to world war 2 and they have to decide if they are going to stop the attack on pearl harbor or not.
I want to say the title is The Final Countdown.
Good job dayowlron! A very good movie, over to you :)
Yes I loved that movie.
OK, I will post something this time.
with a connection to the last movie.
[imgzoom]https://s14.postimg.org/motbiuext/trailer_1.jpg[/imgzoom]
Is it that comedy with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis on the submarine?
Unfortunately, I can't remember the title right now.
(nod) you definitely get half a point for that. Should I give it to you or wait for someone to give the title?
Let's see if someone knows the title, I'm happy with my half point. ;)
*googles "comedy with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis on the submarine", gets the answer in three seconds*
Operation Petticoat
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/LaspAsr.png[/imgzoom]
The Game?
Correct!
(http://content.internetvideoarchive.com/content/photos/8736/276870_006.jpg)
Jumanji? (The link being that it's about another game?)
Correct and back to ya!
I forgot to check if this is a repeat before grabbing and uploading it, so we've had this one already, but it was over five years ago so I'm going to go ahead and post it anyway:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/3ghqL4z.png[/imgzoom]
Interview With The Vampire?
Correct! Another young Kirsten Dunst role.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/yNmPptx.png[/imgzoom]
Blazing Saddles?
Yes indeed ;) "Never mind that shit, here comes Mongo!"
"Sheriff Bart first man ever whip Mongo. Mongo impressed. Have deep feelings for Sheriff Bart".
Another western comedy film:
(https://i.imgur.com/qoBTJun.png)
Support your local sheriff?
Yup! (nod)
cool.
Keeping with the western theme.
(https://s17.postimg.org/z3ztddixb/br-01h35m59s.jpg)
The Magnificent Seven?
or possibly Tom Horn?
Sure looks like the back of Steve McQueen's head to me.
Wondering if you've thrown a curve ball here so going to guess Back to the Future 3!
(wrong)
no more guesses. Here is a screen shot that may give it away.
Btw, that was not Steve McQueen, but the actor in the previous picture is very famous and has well known children actors/actresses.
(https://s17.postimg.org/nh7fn5rhb/M5_Xk_Ey_Xk_Fqc_Gde_V1.jpg)
That's Terence Hill and the other actor, judging from the description, must be Henry Fonda. So... My Name is Nobody?

Right on correct. (nod)
After the second screenshot and the actor description, it was easy! ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/K7mwrl8.jpg)
ah, you know i think i saw this as recently as last year, I cant recall the name of it or any of the actors, and the story is vague in my mind, but was it something like a detective (guy in suit) comes to a small village and investigates a murder(s) where the all or some of the towns people are in on the cover up in some way or another?.
Tycho: yes, that's more or less the film plot.
The main character is played by Spencer Tracy.
Bad Day At Black Rock?
you got it Ben :D
Sweet! That would have been my guess from the pic, even though I've not seen the movie. Your hint confirmed it!
Here's mine, there's a kind of link to the previous:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/PfstZfc.png[/imgzoom]
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind?
Duel?
Natural Born Killers?
None of those three. Sorry, don't have time to post another pic right now (I came along earlier but the site was down!). I'll do that tomorrow, but in the meantime, here's a small clue - the link is nominal.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/KN1gC3a.png[/imgzoom]
The Hitcher?
Is that JT Walsh in Red Rock West?
Quote from: Kweepa on Thu 22/03/2018 00:30:47

It is indeed! The film I always group in my mind with Bad Day At Black Rock!
How about this one:
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/namethemovie04.jpg[/imgzoom]
Looks like a colour adaptation of Rebecca...
It's not... :)
Here's a shot from a couple of seconds earlier:
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/namethemovie04b.jpg[/imgzoom]
Death On The Nile?
Nope...
Rebecca and Death on the Nile are set around 1937.
This is post-WWII.
Same scene, a little later...
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/namethemovie04c.jpg[/imgzoom]
Hahaha!
The Godfather!
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
(Possibly the greatest ad-libbed line in movies of all time)
Correct!
I give my turn to anyone who wants it. Leaving for a trip today.
Anyone remember this one?

I keep wanting to say Evil Dead, but I know that it isn't.
Beats me. This looks like the type of movie Mandle would know... pitty he's 3 weeks off...

I'm a fan of horror anthologies. Was that one "Tales from the Hood"?
Puppet Master?
Quote from: Klatuu on Tue 27/03/2018 20:07:43

YES! Well done. 8-) Did the terrible doll attack scene give it away? (laugh) I remember laughing to death at that with my friends 25 years ago.
I vaguely remembered the anthology story of a bigoted politician spending the night in an old plantation house, and I was able to rule out "Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror", so that was the next logical guess!
Anyway, let's see if I'm doing this right:

That's a different thing... The Thing from Another World!

Both great films, in my opinion. The special effects in Carpenter's The Thing are still very impressive, although I must admit I have a soft spot for '50s monster movies...

I really want that film to exist though. Present day Culkin would be perfect for the role! I can imagine him parodying the aftershave scene in a super-creepy way.

Is it the one called something like My life As a Zucchini? ... Ma vie de courgette (sp?)
Correct! My Life as a Zucchini it is. Really recommended. A highly emotional and amazingly creative designed stop motion drama. Your turn, Snarky.
I watched a really long trailer for that in a cinema in Switzerland last year. Cool visual style, and I seem to recall being quite impressed by the (French) voice acting: they had actual kids do the voices, didn't they?
Something else:

The Shape Of Water?
Excellent... you fell right into my cunning trap! :-D (Thanks for that!)
No.
Indeed they did! I've seen the german synch though and it was also very impressive.
I know the answer but I'd like to see another picture first, as this movie has so many great moments...
Well then here's another one:
(https://i.imgur.com/0e3ujgi.jpg)
Looks like Hugh Grant.
Paddington 2?
Correct. I didn't think it was quite as funny as the first one, and the ending is much too much, but taking these screen grabs I notice that there's some visual gag I hadn't noticed in almost every shot of the movie.
Probably pretty easy.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_115.jpg[/imgzoom]
Rain Man?

Looks like some of the trippy-ass visuals in Doctor Strange.
Hah, good guess but no. Here's a shot from a few seconds later:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/y3tP6hX.png[/imgzoom]
Okay, Ant-Man?
Ah, I didn't mean 'good guess' as in it's close, just that it was a smart one to try. BUT Ant-Man is in a very similar conceptual area! (And the film has a strong link to the previous go, remember.)
Here's a shot from another few seconds later (if no one remembers this shot, I'll have to move on past the opening titles!)
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/L18u5X1.png[/imgzoom]
GSW?
Oh wait, thought it was the excellent opening from Payback, but there was no ice.
Innerspace?
Correct! An ace opening sequence that zooms out from weird fractal imagery to ice in a glass of whiskey (mirroring another Joe Dante opening - The Burbs' 'zoom in from outer space to a suburban street').
Cool.
Here's a very unique film I just saw.

Rubber?
I don't think I'm right, but Gerry?
Nein.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_122.jpg[/imgzoom]
No idea what the movie is but the last shot looks like someone using a divining stick?
More like someone pointing a gun at another person on the ground, seen through some sort of infrared googles. Sicario?
I'm inclined to agree with Snarky, Looks like someone lying on their back raising their hands in the air.
Yeah it could be what an alien sees or something??
Is it just me, or does it look like the gun is being held backwards? And it kind of looks like 2 or 3 tiny molemen are at the guy's feet...
The color is wrong for night vision or the Predator. So I'm thinking this must be a mockbuster of Predator or Alien. So, I'm going to make a completely wild guess of being... Hunterix since that sounds like a perfectly reasonable name for such a movie.
Wait, is it Daredevil? I think the echo-visipn looked a little like that in the Affleck movie.
Not a bad idea Snarky, but the first screen doesn't look like anything I recall in Daredevil, and it most certainly has never been described as "unique" :tongue:
None of those.

No no.

Looks like noone's seen it so I did a bit of detective work and found out that it is:
Badland: Road To Fury
or
Young Ones
(It seems the movie has two different names, one of which is an obvious rip-off of Max Mad: Fury Road. They even used the same font and colour design of the Mad Max title.)
Young Ones it is. Doesn't have much in common with Mad Max other than the post scarcity setting.
And Nicholas Hoult...
I meant real Mad Max though. Not Watch This I Super Bad Want You To Vote For Hilldawg Yo.
Quote from: Jack on Thu 10/05/2018 18:39:14
Young Ones it is. Doesn't have much in common with Mad Max other than the post scarcity setting.
Yeah, probably the distributors somewhere pulled a fast-one and changed the name/cover to resemble Mad Max: Fury Road. They do the same kinda thing all the time here in Japan with indie films, making the name and cover similar to popular movies. Sooooo many B-Grade movies here called Alien: Something, or Predator: Something, or Exorcist: Something, etc. when the original movie name is completely different.
Sleazy.
I'll post a new one soon.
Probably some marketing drone that didn't know it's okay for indie films to not have an explosion every ten minutes.
A movie with a bit of a connection:

It's zoomable... It doesn't take forever to load and blow out the borders of the window so you have to scroll...
Oh, and no.
I'm guessing Cherry 2000. Because the image makes me think of 3 movies. I'm pretty sure it's not A Boy And His Dog, and I can't think of the name of the other one...
No on the first two guesses.

I didn't know Willard before, but watched a couple of trailers on YouTube, and it looks really good. Thanks. :cheesy:
And to think, I too could have guessed Hardware if I could have thought of the name, since it was one of the three movies I thought of.
And for some reason this makes me think of either Iggy Pop or vampires. Or Iggy Pop as a vampire.
But, I'm going to guess Blood and Donuts since it's the only movie I can currently think of with a vampire that might eat rats, who isn't played by Brad Pitt...
No to Blood And Donuts :smiley:
No-one knows what the rat scene is all about? :shocked:

I am a bit relieved. I was afraid that it might have been one of the sequels. Assuming there was more than one...
(http://i67.tinypic.com/o03t4k.jpg)
That dumbass sci-fi Beowulf movie with Christopher Lambert?
That is more or less correct. But part of me was hoping someone would guess Mortal Kombat or one of the Highlander sequels.
My condolences for you getting it right.
I've never actually seen it, for better or worse := Will post something when I get home.
Oh... Then you don't need my sympathy. That's probably good.
To be honest, I just chose it because it was on a 6 movie collection I have. Which I mostly bought for The Beastmaster.
I did watch it on tv once, but I honestly can't remember a single thing about it.

Masters Of The Universe?
I like how we keep seeing star trek and stargate actors in these guess stuff threads.
And yes that's Monica from friends. Courtney Cox?
Now I kind of want to make sure anything I submit in the future includes an actor from Stargate or Star Trek...
I often see Alexander Siddig in tv shows and movies, so he'd be a good one!
Except not for a while as I just mentioned him haha.
Huh... I can't think of anything I've actually seen him in other than DS9.
But I can think of two people who seemed to show up in pretty much every scifi show I watched during certain periods. One probably because she's Canadian and so many are filmed in Canada. The other because he's simply so prolific of an actor.
Both of which would fit since she was in Stargate and he was in Star Trek.
Correct Amayirot! Over to you :)
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/PZIAoq3.png[/imgzoom]
Well here's an Alexander Siddig movie ;)
That's Doomsday and he plays the prime minister I think?
Also Bob Hoskins (RIP) is here, and the guy on the left is very familiar from somewhere else.
Not a bad film, and comes with a booklet about the making of the film.
That's the one ;) Mad fun film and a decent homage to 80's action classics.
Woop, I very rarely guess these!

Oh wow, damn... I was so sure...because one of the characters has a pet duck or goose and the clunky blue screen effects look about right for that era...AND there seems to be a hole leading down in the ground...
Actually, now that I look again, the blue-screened goose wouldn't have had a shadow or it would have been just an airbrushed zone under their body...
I see! This is not as old as that film. Infact, this film is almost as old as me! :wink:
Ah Krull one of my fave classic fantasy movies
Correct! Your go!
I rediscovered this film a couple of years ago and bought the dvd. It was a treat to remember bits of it from when I was a kid!
Huh... Those screen shots don't look at all familiar.
I'm finding I can't remember anything about Krull other than the Cyclops and the glaive thing. Like I know Liam Neeson is in it, but I have no memory of him in it.

Maybe if the background was a miniature set about to spew animated lava from the hole and the duck and the man were both bluescreened in? Ever seen the lazy SFX shot in Temple Of Doom where the water spews out of the mines while Indy & co. "cling" to the cliff's ledges? And that was like a decade or more later than the movie I thought this was.

Loving Vincent?
That's the one! I was going with the black and white segments because otherwise it would have been obvious. Over to you Snarky :)
The style looks quite interesting, even if I'm not really a huge fan of rotoscoping in film, and I'm skeptical of the claim that every frame was individually painted by hand. Have you seen it?
I was planning on watching and screencapping something this weekend, but didn't get time, so I'll cede my turn.
Quote from: Snarky on Mon 04/06/2018 11:50:54
I'm skeptical of the claim that every frame was individually painted by hand.
Yeah, same here... I've seen clips of the film and it looked way too smooth to have been even overpaints of still frames to me. The brush strokes just didn't look as choppy as I'd expect frame to frame.
I have it but have yet to watch it. It's on my loooong back list, lol. I watched a few "making of" youtube videos about it a while back. A lot of work went into making it. 125 artists painted 65,000 individual frames over the course of 6 years. Live actors and green screens were used then the artist would paint over each scene, in the style of van Gogh, sort of like they used to do with Disney films.

I don't think anyone noticed this! Here's one:

Oh no! It's TMNT: out of the shadows.
Correct! Out of curiosity, how did you recognise it? I was hoping the purple mohawk in the background would be a subtle clue...
I recognized Shredder right away. Probably because in the first movie they were hiding what he looked like and in the sequel they were like: "Hello this is what Shredder looks like now".
(https://i.imgur.com/FmNroEQ.jpg)
The actress in the new image looks familiar, but I'm having trouble placing her...
And I can only barely tell that the guy in the TMNT picture(Bebop?) has a purple mohawk. It's blurry and dark.
Oh. Oh. Is it Emily Browning in the new image? I know it's not from a movie I've seen...
So, I'm guessing Golden Exits since it's the newest movie with her.
You are correct in the actress name. However it's not Golden Exits. Please don't IMDB for every movie with Emily Browning :=

I was close with my guess of Not Another Teen Movie...
Same actor, same basic character.
Oh and Dawson from Dawson's Creek was in Varsity Blues, so we've got a connection with the What's on TV thread.
Now I almost want to watch Varsity Blues again to see how James James Van Der Beek handled a Texas accent (assuming his character was supposed to be originally from Texas).
But I'm also very afraid of how bad it might be...
edit: Watched a trailer and many of the accents are as bad as I feared...
Alright how about this one. Bonus points if you make the connection between this and the images of Varsity Blues shared earlier. (laugh)

Nope! As far as I can tell, BBT was not involved in that movie...
EDIT: I now realise my previous post may have been ambiguous: BBT is one of the links between my movie and A Simple Plan)

I believe he is listed as a character called "Lightning".
Ah, you're right, sorry! Wow, that's an impressive roster of character actors, no wonder I missed him.

The Gift (2000)?
Correct! Also directed by Sam Raimi, and the BBT link is that he wrote it. Probably some other links I'm not thinking of, like Gary Cole etc.
Man, I want to do a Sam Raimi marathon now.

That was a pretty good movie. I didn't know Billy Bob wrote it. My respect for the man has just grown, even though it was pretty high to begin with, if only for his roles in A Simple Plan, Slingblade (which I know he also wrote and directed), The Man Who Wasn't There, and Chocolate. All worthy of oscar nominations!
I can't be arsed coming up with a link to the last one. I'll do like I usually do and just pick the last movie I watched:

Nope. You know the actor, though he's hard to recognize in that shot.

It is indeed from the Spongebob movie, which is quite hilarious and well worth a watch
even especially for adults.
Over to Snarky!
I think you did. (You know there's a way to search a specific thread?) I've never seen Spongebob either on TV or film, but I seem to remember that the ad campaign for that movie featured The Hoff pretty prominently.
Yep, you did it here:

No. Although that did star Cher, it didn't have any musical numbers. It is rather a touching true-life drama about a boy who had craniodiaphyseal dysplasia.
Hahaha...okay:

Back To The Future 3?
Some kind of special I would guess.
I would say Back to the Future 3 is a good guess, but Christopher Lloyd looks a lot older there so I am thinking some sort of spoof on the series, but I havent seen any.
It's not Back To The Future 3, or a special.
It's a scene from an actual movie which came out fairly recently. The movie itself was pretty terrible but this scene almost made up for it.
I Am Not a Serial Killer?
Nope, the title is even longer than that.

Yup. I'm not a big fan of Seth MacFarlane movies overall but they do have a few real gems in them here and there and that scene was one of those. His movies are just like Family Guy: throw a few jokes at the wall every minute and some are bound to stick now and then.
Yeah, I can't bring myself to watch his movies as I really dislike Family Guy. I had heard about that Doc Brown cameo, though!

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army!
That's the ex-Nazi who I always felt was supposed to actually be Hitler incognito. I believe he says a few things that hint in that direction but it's never confirmed.
He's a right gasbag.
Correct! Though I don't remember anything about him being an ex-Nazi and can't find anything about it online. In the comics he was born in 1946, apparently...

Or "reborn" in 1946? Hitler died in April 1945 so maybe it took that time to develop the tech for the suit that holds his essence?
And I don't think in the movie they
exactly said he was ex-Nazi, but he sure did talk and act like he was.
Or maybe I'm just creating a random film theory...
Anyway: New shot coming soon!
While we're waiting for Mandle's new shot, I'll indulge in more nitpickery (spoilered so no one feels obliged to read it:
Spoiler
He was born as a human in 1946, not as an ectoplasmic gas thing. Also, "German and bossy" does not equal Nazi!
Yeah, I also didn't get a Nazi vibe from him, and I remember that being quite refreshing.

Nah.
Here's another shot from a few seconds later in that scene (sorry for bad quality I couldn't find a better one):
[IMGZOOM]http://i65.tinypic.com/o50so1.jpg[/IMGZOOM]
I have a reason for wanting to post this particular scene as I was watching a Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) video and he mentioned something genius about this scene that I had never consciously realised before but which could be a great tip for someone making a similar cinematic cutscene.
Hmm, American flags, dystopian feel, CCTV type footage. Is it a Purge movie? I'm guessing one of the middle two as it's not the first one and the latest one is too soon for NC to be making videos on specific scenes...

Naw, this movie is from the 80s...
Escape From New York?
Freejack? But I think that's 90s...
Nothing yet.
Is it Back to the Future?
The first shot could be the Libyans approaching the Twin Pines mall.
The second shot could be Doc Brown and the Libyans.
[EDIT] I just looked at that scene in the film and I don't know how I forgot that the Libyans were driving a VW camper...

Ahhh, but do you remember the V and the W on the van's emblem as being joined or seperated by a groove? Could be The Mandela Effect?!
But, no, it's not Back To The Future.
Perhaps not quite at the level of BTTF but this is a very famous 80s movie.
just to rule it out.. Robocop?
Nope.
Hint: It's not SF.
Looking at the flags, I'm 95% sure the one on the right isn't an American flag. It's possible it could be a California flag.
The one on the left could be virtually any flag with red and white in it...
Absolutely nothing about the movie looks familiar to me. So I'm just going to guess Cannery Row since it's an 80s movie, set in California, and I haven't seen it.
Days of Thunder?
Nopers... I'll put up another pic soon
Red Dawn?
Wait! Motorbike! By the water! A high shot of a parking lot! Is it Lost Boys?
Quote from: Ben X on Fri 20/07/2018 09:29:02
Wait! Motorbike! By the water! A high shot of a parking lot! Is it Lost Boys?
I'm not sure if that is a motorbike. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of buggy. We see it pull away which is to give the feeling that the place is deserted now and the guard is on his own.
But, you are indeed correct!
This is the first time in the movie that the vampires are shown attacking someone: The security guard that kicked them out of the amusement park.
The reason I wanted to showcase this shot was (as pointed out by Doug Walker after his first ever viewing of the movie) is the genius of it I had forgotten from having seen the movie like 30+ times:
When the shot first starts the first-time viewer assumes it's just an aerial shot of the guard leaving.
But then, as the camera draws closer, the guard looks up at the camera and panics and starts running.
Suddenly the viewer understands that it's actually a POV shot from the vampires.
This is genius! It's a very unobtrusive and sly way to introduce the vampires into the movie. It tells us instantly that the vampires can fly which also instantly explains to us why they had no problem with racing towards a cliff-edge on their motorbikes at high speed.
Also, for a first-time viewer it produces that slight feeling of vertigo where we realize that a shot isn't what we thought it was and we must make that mental adjustment.
Lovely stuff!
Anyway, over to you!
Ahhh, that's why I was initially going sci-fi, because it looked like a strangely beefy, Judge Dreddy type motorcycle.
Pleased I got that, it's a great movie. I recently got it on blu-ray, looks great.
Okayyyyy, let's see... here's one with an obvious link to previous:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/xDQioWn.png[/imgzoom]
The only movie I can think of that he was in other than the Lost Boys is Richie Rich.
Nope.
Overboard? (Is that the name? The one where Kurt Russell abducts, enslaves and rapes an amnesiac Goldie Hawn. It's a romantic comedy.)
How did I miss it being The Lost Boys? It's my favorite vampire movie. But it does at least confirm the California flag.
But I am quite certain I haven't seen this movie with Edward Herrmann. So I'm just going to randomly guess Critical Care.
Bonfire Of The Vanities?
No to all of those (though Overboard is the name of the film you're thinking of, Snarky - it recently got a gender-swapped remake!).
I heard. I like Anna Faris a lot, but of all the movies to remake...
Right?
Okay, here's another shot:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/rGMKutq.png[/imgzoom]
Big Business? The summary says it's about twins switched at birth or some such, though the ones in question appear to be played by Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin.
Yep, that's the one! I recommend everyone watch it, it's a really fun, silly swapped-at-birth farce. That shot is the final gag of the movie where everything's sorted out and then the bum who's been drunkenly confused by the goings-on throughout the movie bumps into his own previously unseen identical twin. THEN there's a mid-credit scene that goes even further. It's great! Also, Herrmann is fantastic in it, and it also has Fred Ward, Michael Gross and a young Seth Green.
Anyway, your go!
Very well:

So, do we guess every movie that a cat hissed at something in or do we try to recognize this particular cat actor?

Those aren't Uma's feet, but this film has strong connections to Kill Bill. (Also, don't worry, most cinemagoers are very familiar with Uma's feet thanks to QT's lingering shots of them through Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill!)

I can't make any new screenshots right now, so I'll give you a hint. It's a movie from 2016 by a director who directed some sequels of a well-known movie franchise.
Well, it's not Christopher McQuarrie (Mission Impossible) or Justin Lin (Fast & Furious), and I don't think this is Tarzan by David Yates (Harry Potter). I'm stuck.
Is it a Walking Dead movie?
No, although horror is the right genre.
Is it Abattoir by Darren Lynn Bousman who did a couple of the Saw movies?
That's the one. I didn't find it too bad, but it certainly has some issues.

Simon Pegg! Mission impossible: Rogue nation!

Simon Pegg! Mission impossible: Rogue nation!
Well done! Probably my favorite Mission Impossible movie so far (haven't seen Fallout yet) which is completely insane because, after watching the movie again with the commentary between Tom Cruise and the director:
They were making up most of the story during filming!!!
Most of the plot elements weren't in place until filming was in its later stages and they had to go back and refilm and/or CGI edit earlier scenes.
My favorite quote from the commentary was during a scene of Ethan Hunt in a red London phone box speaking a lot of plot points into the phone (a scene they refilmed towards the end of shooting after they actually had a plot):
In the commentary the director says "We learned to place exposition-heavy scenes in tiny and easily refilmable spaces. You might notice the complete lack of exposition lines while Tom is running across the wing of the Airbus 400."
And this blows me away! How did they make such a good movie while they were making most of it up as they went along?
I did feel when I was watching the movie that it had an insane and unpredictable pace and this heightened my enjoyment while watching.
But to actually pull that off on the fly?!
Kudos!

Mandle is correct! ....and quickly 8-)
I've watched the movie at least 10 times and possibly 20 so I recognize the beautiful painting Kiki's wonderful friend did for her when Kiki went through her mana-slump, and yet I do not remember that friend's name. Oh well, she was just an NPC...
Nice fake-out there by the way where a painted picture might not be recognized as being in an animated movie...
Sorry to spoil that too quickly... Better luck next time... (laugh)
Oh God, now I really have to do something great after being so snarky so:
NEXT PIC COMING SOON!?

And to think, the other day you said you don't like anime. lol
Alas, this is one of the Studio Ghibli movies I didn't really get into. Perhaps because I was an adult when I saw it and Princess Mononoke had been my first.
All eyes are you on for posting something great. But not the EYES of Mars...

Oh, my bad, I was talking mostly about TV series anime there... One Piece... Pokemon... YoukaiWatch...
Just the stuff that is consumable weekly as opposed to the actually good stuff that takes years to develop like Ghibli Stuidos mostly does...
"Spirited Away" (Sen To Chihiro No Kami Kakushi) is my favorite animated movie of all time!
Oh, crap, sorry for the delay...
New pic coming soon!
Sorry, got too busy with work on Chronicle Of Innsmouth sequel and forgot about this...
But here's the next pic finally.
(http://i66.tinypic.com/w86q13.jpg)
um i think i saw this not so long ago, is it tombstone with russell and kilmer?
No, but...
Looks a bit like Patrick Wilson, so is this Bone Tomahawk (another Russell western)?
Could be Benedict Cumberbatch.
12 Years a Slave?
Quote from: Ben X on Mon 13/08/2018 17:46:51

BINGO!!!
I just watched it the other day and still thinking about what to think about it.
It probably a movie I will grow to love after some rewatching.
Next one, with a connection to the previous one:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/VtLAUey.png[/imgzoom]
I'm going to guess that they're both movies.
Is it a movie made by Paramount? (laugh)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture?
Watchmen?
Are we not even posting screenshots of the actual movies anymore? :=
The title card is part of the movie! And if it's a special-case version, like this one which matches the iconic smiley-face opening, then it's a solid first clue imo. (I would have quickly followed up with a less subtle one if no one had got it though.)
Quote from: Ben X on Tue 14/08/2018 18:02:38

Watchmen?
YES! Well done, very impressive!
Yeah, the color scheme was, of course, the giveaway. And I've watched the Watchmen a lot (to partially answer the question at the heart of the movie's theme (laugh) )...
New shot coming a lot sooner than last time!

Feel like I have seen this and for some reason I am thinking Poltergeist?
Man's Best Friend?
Nopers
Cujo?
(Before he's ripped everyones' throats out?)
Naw... Cujo was a big ole lovable St. Bernard...
Is it from a Benji movie?
Amores Perros?
Cats and Dogs?
None of these... new shot coming soon!

The Omen?
Quote from: Kweepa on Fri 17/08/2018 22:59:05
The Omen?
Close enough...
It's The Omen III: The Final Conflict. A great movie with an ending too confusing to be understandable. And the sequel Omen IV completely ignores everything in the first 3 movies until about 5 minutes before the end and then crams a great twist in which falls flat because you're still absorbing it when the credits start...
A shame...
When I think of the priest opening the coffin in the first film the hairs still rise on the back of my neck!

That IS someone famous there (with over ten million twitter followers no less!).

It is historical, but it's set entirely in the 70s.
Battle of the Sexes.
Yep, you got it.
Cool. It's been a while since I've participated in this thread.

The Bad Seed?
Nope.
Of Mice And Men?
Interesting guess but not that either.
Lassie the Hunted? Fine, so I combined Lassie with the name of a Benji movie. But clearly this is what happens when Lassie gets tired of helping people out of wells.
New clue:

Siri: The Early Years?
I don't know the movie but I want to write a caption:
"Yes, sir, that's right. We have searched the whole room for listening devices and it's clean!"
Yeah, I was quite taken with this answering machine while watching this movie. I was never sure if it was a real model available at the time or something slightly sci-fi in this seemingly straight detective film noir.
Don't know the movie but I am sure that is something sci-fi. There is no way to play a greeting then record the response.
(https://i.imgur.com/FVKQHwL.jpg)
That must be Kiss Me Deadly. The box is a big clue.
Correct again.
Next:

The time machine?
I Aim At The Stars?
(I'm guessing this because I think maybe that's Hayden Rorke maybe on the far left: The psychiatrist from I Dream Of Genie.)
Or maybe Drumbeat?
At first glance the guy on the right looks like James Stewart.
Cassiebsg: no time travelling in this film, that's just a regular stagecoach! ;) Thinking of it, it does look a bit strange without wheels.
Mandle: the guy with the moustache? According to Imdb, that's Paul Birch.
It's not I Aim At The Stars nor Drumbeat. It is a western, though!
josiah1221: you're on the right track! That's indeed James Stewart.
(https://i.imgur.com/342p2tF.png)
from your clues and that picture having what looks like John Wayne I would say this has to be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Correct! (nod)
Man, can't believe I didn't recognize Stewart! He looked more like Karloff to me here.
I have had something come up where I wont be on much the next few days but will check from time to time. guess it is good I was killed in the murder mystery game, but I don't have a movie for this thread so whoever wants to take my turn is welcome.
I'll take it! First pic:

Probably wouldn't have gotten from that one.
Yeah, I got impatient because I couldn't get a good grab for that one without having to pause and then crop the YouTube UI out of the way, so I went for an easier shot. But then I found a really easy way to clear the UI when paused, so I grabbed the original shot I wanted and came back to see if I could sneakily swap them, but you'd already yippee-kay-ay'ed your way in there! I wasn't going to put all my effort to waste so I posted it anyway!
Aaanyway, your go :)

Correct... I was reading some reviews of the movie and they were bad reviews but I liked the movie.
I recognized Pam Dawber in that last shot. :wink:

You're right... it's not Straw Dogs. :tongue:
I don't know why, but suddenly the hair makes me think of Michael York.
Is it Justine?
*shakes head* :cool:
Aahaha... I was also looking at his IMDB page for the same reason... (laugh) (roll)
I am thinking the woman looks familiar like maybe she was on Star Trek or something but can't put my finger on which episode. Don't know if it was the original series or next generation either.
Edit: or possibly from hogans heroes?
Sorry, not Star Trek or Hogan's Heroes.
I'll put up a new screenshot in the morning. :smiley:
Another screenshot :wink:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/COd1lDw.png[/imgzoom]
Is it a Hammer Dracula movie? To pick a random one as I don't know them that well, Prince Of Darkness?
It's a Hammer film, but not Prince Of Darkness.
But you didn't confirm Dracula, sooo... Curse Of Frankenstein?
It's a Frankenstein film... and one of my favourites... but it's not Curse Of.
Gotta love those old Hammer films! :grin:
A quick image search for Hammer Frankenstein films leads me to think that might be Madeline Smith in the first pic and that therefore this is Frankenstein And The Monster from Hell. If not, I'll let someone else guess at one of the remaining four!
this was a tough one, well since we have it narrowed down to Hammer Frankenstein movies, I will go with Frankenstein Created Woman
Quote from: Tycho Magnetic Anomaly on Sun 02/09/2018 15:46:32

That's the one! :cheesy:
If you like horror films, you NEED to watch this! :cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:
The man from my first image, that some of you thought was Michael York - here's his face. He's Robert Morris. The woman is Susan Denburg.
And the gloved man in the box (2nd image) is the one and only Peter Cushing. :grin:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Mii337a.png[/imgzoom]
And she was in a Star Trek episode!
I have only seen a couple of hammer horror's , people keep recommending them to me, so this Halloween season I shall watch a bunch of them starting with your recommendation :)
Here is the next movie.. might be a bit easy, but here goes...

ok, sorry folks I have to jump back in here , sorry for guessing again so soon, but this is without a shadow of a doubt my all time favorite classic fantasy. I even based whole game design around its aesthetics, the movie is also responsible for my small obsession with anything maze like.

Star Trek I: The Motionless Picture
wow that was fast, well done... maybe its good someone guessed it early because I think I would have struggled to find shots in the movie that didn't give it away as being a star trek movie. :P
Probably pretty easy.
[imgzoom]http://techtroupe.net/posted/agsForum_movieTitle_131.jpg[/imgzoom]
Hmmmm looks like Shattner but in a modern setting and possibly a cop uniform...
I don't remember there being a movie of it but:
T.J.Hooker?
Nope. This film is quite new.
the scene is really dark. I don't see how you can even think it was Shatner, but because it is so dark I am going to guess "The Darkness".
No.

Probably because I was anticipating a link to the previous film plus the power of suggestion.
Captain America?
If so, then I should have gone with my first instinct from the first picture: That's the catwalk where he fights the Red Skull?
It's not.
Just a total guess, but Wonder Woman?
Nein.

Their finest?
What?
Oh, didn't realise that was a film. Pretty weird, but no.

Hmm... food or internal organs?
Okja?
Not Prometheus or Okja.
Three Kings?

Ah saw this recently its Annihilation.
The movie was "ok" but it contained a scene which featured a mutated monster thing that I thought was most of thee most disturbing creatures I have seen in a movie in a while.
youtube.com/watch?v=OdNLJin2IdA (spoiler alert also very violent scene so dont watch if you dont like, and dont let your kids watch)
Legend?
Bridge to Terabithia?
Tycho got it, it's Annihilation. And if they're talking about the same creature I think they are, they're damn right - I still think about it occasionally and shudder.
I would like to give my go away to someone else who has never had a go or hasn't had a go in a while :)
Sorry guys for the late response! TMA got it. Quite an interesting movie, worth a watch and a mind scratch for sure!
I think the bear attack in The Revenant was scarier. It was so detailed and realistic, and it could actually happen.

Ok here is another clue, the lead character is acted by a person who is not usually known for acting, and the main supporting role is also acted by a person who is not usually known for acting, however both in their other professional lives are incredibly famous.

Quote from: Buckethead on Fri 05/10/2018 17:38:54
Room?
Spot on!
And, what an absolutely incredible movie!
Spoiler
I would have prefered it without the last 2 lines that made the ending feel like a scripted moment signalling "this is the end of the movie and here's what it means" a bit too heavy-handedly comparered to the rest of the movie which really felt like it was taking place in reality right in front of my eyes at every moment, but I'll let that slide. It's still one of the best movies I've ever seen!
By the way, before any comments, this is not "The Room" which is absolutely incredible for a different set of reasons. (laugh)
Over to you!
The Wiz
Oh we've moved way on.
Yeah Room is a great movie. Had it been "The Room" though, I would have guessed it even faster probably :=

Yes that was an easy one, if you've seen it. Great movie though

Total Recall?
Nope. This movie isn't as well known.
Basket Case?
um is it by any chance nightbreed or naked lunch?
Nope. None of the above. One hint before I add another screenshot later. It's a sequel in a franchise, with a number over 3.
Phantasm iv?
Nope, no floating chrome death balls. Besides, Phantasm 3 was much more fun...
(http://ags.pics/OUt9.jpg)
Fun House?
Nope, not Fun House. One more hint before I post another screenshot later. The guy with 3 arms was played by an actor who was in Return of the Jedi, but not Time Bandits.
So it is Deep Roy? I thought it was him.
It is indeed Deep Roy in the first image.
(http://ags.pics/Od1T.jpg)
In that case, is it Howling VI: The Freaks?

That's it. Your turn, ClickClick.
I stumbled into this by accident. Any tips on how to pick a movie that's not instantly recognisable but also not so obscure nobody will get it?
You can take a somewhat obscure shot from even a well known film. I usually pick whatever I have on hand that's good.
I think I'll pass. Someone else step in, please.
Too late now, I guess, but if I'm having trouble picking something I just go for an easy one that someone will likely get first go. Otherwise I go for something with a link to the previous round. So for this one I'd possibly pick Total Recall because of the three-breasted thing (assuming a search of this thread turns up no results of someone having done it already), but I'd pick a different shot - one that won't give it away but people who know the film may well recognise, like the fish gasping for air on the floor, or the rat eating the chocolate bar with the homing beacon in it.

Yup, The Lawnmower Man, an adaptation of Stephen King's short story that carries so little resemblance to the original, King sued them just to get rid of his name from the title. But there are few titles that fill me with so much nostalgia from my childhood. (roll)

And the movie is much better than the short story, which is pretty crap.
But Stephen King also hated The Shining so...
the first time i saw the movie was back when it was new, and the first viewing was ok. I am a huge sci-fi fan and it dosent take much for me to get entertainment from even the worst of them, but on watching this movie again a couple of times, most recently a few years ago, it really has not aged well at all, in fact its a pretty dam crap movie, but nothing, nothing at all compares to how bad the lawnmowerman 2 movie was.
I remember Lawnmower Man as being one of the first rated R movies I watched uncut (The First was Terminator 2, which I still can't figure out how I convinced my mom to take me to see). My parents were out of town and my brother rented it and got some pizza.
But I don't think I've watched it since.

The short story isn't anything special but King was still right to sue. It's disingenuous of the movie studio to buy the film rights of a minor short story just to use the title and King's name in the marketing. I know that the movie rights for a novel called "Blade Runner" were purchased just so the title could be used for the adaptation of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep " but in that scenario they weren't using the authors name to sell the picture.
I guess "The Lawnmower Man" is catchier than "Evil Flowers for Algernon â€" in VR!"
Since it's one of those movies a lot of people say is the worst, I went in with low expectations. I don't think it's quite that bad. It reminded me of an episode of The Outer Limits.

Yep! Another gory train-based horror.
Good clue! I figured out that it was on a train (those are not airplane doorways), but her being Korean didn't strike me; that should have been enough to piece it together, dammit! :-D
I've never watched Train to Busan, but as soon as I saw a train and an asian woman, and considering it's nearly Halloween, I figured it was a reasonable guess. It turns out I was right.
I'll post something a bit later. I need time to think of something. :-\

This movie has at least 2 English titles.

To clarify - yes, Killer Klowns From Outer Space is an actual movie. It's pretty enjoyable, partly in a so-bad-it's-good way but it often is quite inventive and well designed.
I've never heard of the Killjoy franchise!
As for this pic, assuming you mean it's under three dccades newer than Rocky Horror, I can't find anything that obviously fits the bill, so... Ritual?

I don't see a big distinction between made for tv movies and straight to dvd movies, as long as there is a dvd release. And the Blood Moon dvd has more nudity and probably more violence than it did on tv.

WWW has a bad rep, but I rewatched it recently on cable and actually had a pretty good time with it.
I think it flopped hard because Will Smith was fresh off of "MIB" and Kevin Kline was at his height of comedic fame after "A Fish Called Wanda" and "Dave" and WWW certainly can't live up to any of those movies.
But it was so creative with all the alternate history and steampunk tech that I found it quite charming on a second look.

I don't know... I think I'd prefer to watch a marathon of Howard the Duck, Pluto Nash, and Tank Girl.
There were just too many parts that were simply uncomfortable. Like the fact that they re-imagined a character played by a dwarf actor as Kenneth Branagh without legs in a steampunk wheelchair. And then there's the Spider Mech which Kevin Smith complained about the director wanting to have as far back as the Superman movie starring Nicholas Cage...

I'm still waiting for a reboot of Howard the Duck. I know the original movie flopped hard, and is globally disliked. But that's exactly WHY we need a good Howard the Duck movie. Fantastic Four has had four terrible movies, and people still want a decent Disney reboot of that. Why not Howard the Duck as well?

But the second half is kind of fun. Especially if you were to mix some of the footage into Beetlejuice to create a kind of sequel where Charles get possessed. Maybe use some footage from Transylvania 6-5000...
I probably wouldn't recommend Pluto Nash to anyone, though. But Tank Girl is fun. Ice T as a mutant kangaroo, Malcolm McDowell as the villain. I don't understand why it's so hated. Maybe the world wasn't ready for how weird it was...

Courageous is about a cop whose daughter dies in a car wreck and he learns more about what it takes to be a real Christian dad. It is a very good movie.
Courageous was the correct answer so your turn Jack.

It's not Bram Stoker's Dracula, is it? I was going to guess that before but I just watched it a week ago and don't remember these shots...
It totally is.
(https://i.imgur.com/ipUXFUV.jpg)
People have guessed it incorrectly a few times before, but it's never actually been posted in this thread as far as I can tell.
1. is when Dracula and Mina drink absinthe.
2. is Lucy running through the garden during the first storm (as the Demeter is crossing)
3. is just before that, as Mina and Lucy read the letter from Jonathan.
I watched it last night on 4K UltraHD HDR. It looks very good in the format (the movie has its detractors, but I don't think anyone can deny that it looks gorgeous), but honestly you're probably just as well off watching the complete 1080p rip currently available on YouTube (which is where I got these caps).
One thing I noticed this time around is how often the film fudges the timelines. It helps build the dreamlike atmosphere, but is very different from the careful and systematic chronicling of events in the novel.
Ahhh, of course. I watched it on Netflix and it looked great. I agree with the critical consensus that the story is overstuffed but the combination of modern cinematography with in-camera effects only (i.e. no digital effects or even compositing), along with the operatic performances, make for a really compelling experience.
Here's the next one:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/E3To10v.png?1[/imgzoom]
Sidenote: amusingly, my last three pics have all been bearded, long-haired men!
(https://i.imgur.com/1habojb.png)
Wikipedia does claim that there's no CGI or optical compositing in the film, that it's all in-camera, but that's obviously not true. A lot of it was, but not all of it. If you look at the deleted scenes, you can see that e.g. when the burn mark on Mina's forehead evaporates at the very end, that was added in post. And I'm convinced that some of the Dracula transitions (between monster and human form) are CGI morphs, but in any case they're certainly not done in-camera (again, the deleted scenes show some of them unfinished, with just simple cuts between each makeup version). Also certain shots, like one of the gypsies falling into the gorge, look like definite optical compositing jobs to me.
Is that Gary Cole?
Nope, not Gary Cole.
They did some multiple exposures (i.e. running the film through the camera more than once to get different layers of imagery), so maybe that's what's going on with those shots?
Compare the monster transition here (https://youtu.be/O3AjiZrSsGE?t=7142) with the raw footage from a workprint here (https://youtu.be/5Z2wQxsZcNc?t=1522) and tell me that's an in-camera effect. (Edit: The Wikipedia page for Gryphon Software Morph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryphon_Software_Morph) lists Bram Stoker's Dracula as one of the movies it was used in – though citation is needed for the claim – so I'm going to assume that's how it was done.)
Shortly afterwards, the workprint also shows Mina without the scar in the shot where it's supposed to vanish, proving that this effect was not achieved practically or by double exposure of the original negative (if it were, no print without the effect would exist – a point you could also make about the transition), but is done optically. (Though it's a very simple optical effect that probably didn't even require a matte.)
The other shot I strongly suspect of being an optical composite is at 1:55:48 (https://youtu.be/O3AjiZrSsGE?t=6948) – I think the fringe around the falling figure (which I don't believe you'd get with a simple double exposure – also he'd be transparent) gives it away. And finally, someone on Reddit claims that the blue rings of ghost fire were also done in post, which seems plausible. I do note that the special effects crew listing on IMDB includes a number of credits for "optical supervisor", "optical lineup", "optical effects", etc. ... as well as "digital effects artist (uncredited)".
So while the bulk of the effects (not counting simple cross-fades, which are probably mostly optical) were no doubt done in-camera, I'm also convinced that there are some optical and even computer effects in the film. Probably the aim was to have it all done without, but in the end there were a handful of shots they just couldn't get any other way.
Okay, you convinced me! That's a shame, even if they managed the other 99%.
When I first saw Bram Stoker's Dracula back in '92, I really didn't it like it. Over the years, and as my tastes have changed, I've come to realise that it's actually a really enjoyable (and visually stunning) take on the story that deserves a lot more praise than it gets.
Now, I may be crazy, but is that an awkward freeze-frame of John Cleese?
Mary Shelleys Frankenstein.
It seems to get panned in comparison to Bram Stokers Dracula but I quite like it also.
And to think, I thought the screenshot looked a little like Bruce Willis. Maybe people see who they want to see...

distinctly remember the VHS box), yet I only actually watched it last year. It's weird how particular movies can hover around the periphery of our awareness for what seems like our entire life, yet we sometimes
never get around to watching them.
And, yeah, it wasn't bad for a Molly Ringwald-starring PG Mad Max/Star Wars hybrid.

What level of spacefaring civilisation makes their chairs from tape, and how long until we get there?
What's more disconcerting is the tatty socks Peter Strauss is sporting while piloting his spaceship.
Anyhoo...

Clue: This movie is available on Netflix.
...
Yeah, not much of a clue, but there you go.
Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War Of The Underworld?
Bingo!
I took another look at the first pic and realised a) that's a frog not a bear and b) those guys look Asian. Google got me there pretty quickly after that...
Next one, no link to previous (except it's on Netflix!):

Is that the Angry Video Game Nerd?
It doesn't look like a scene from the movie though. ???
This is what I thought.
Quote from: Jack on Sun 02/12/2018 11:38:00
This is what I thought.
Same here actually, but didn't guess that for the same reason.
I have not seen it but it's a movie called: kubo and the two strings. I'm not sure if the shot is actually in the film but I looked up stop motion films a few years ago after seeing Coraline and Box Trolls. The animator in the shot does indeed remind me of James Rolfe but I don't think it's him.
Now that you mention it, yes, that's a behind-the-scenes shot from Kubo, but it's definitely not in the film. (Unless... I'm second-guessing myself here, but could it be that they show some of the animation process in the end credits?)
Yeah, they show some of the animation process during the end credits.
Buckethead is correct (and so is nihilyst - it most definitely is in the film).
Ben X tried to bamboozle us all but little did he know that the making of is all I have seen of the movie anyway.
(https://i.imgur.com/yuDabbj.jpg)
The link to the previous movie is that a lot of hard work went into it as well.
PS: hard work is not a pun here, it's not a porno :=
That's Ron Jeremy, so... Orgazmo?
it is... Ron Jeremy but it's not Orgazmo.
Okay, I'll guess at the other one I know off the top of my head (so to speak) then leave it to others - One-Eyed Monster?
It is a horror movie and it has a stupid name with a play on words. Something about a horrifying chicken. Dont remember the actual title though.
Poultrygeist? Huh, Ron Jeremy actually is in that movie. If it's right, the credit should go to dayowlron.
Funny that he was also in Ghostbusters then
Yes it's Poultrygeist
One-eyed monster sounds like a pretty movie as well

According to IMDB.com, he is:

Oh man, just googled it and he (or someone who looks incredibly like him - I can't find an interview with him confirming it though he seems to confirm it in a reply to a tweet) is indeed an extra in one scene!

But wouldn't the first movie be more appropriate with Christmas coming up? I somehow instantly knew this was Gremlins 2, but checked to confirm that John Astin did play the Janitor.
You're correct! I was initially going to do the first one, but I normally check to see if a movie has been done on here before, and Gremlins has.
This movie has been guessed in the past, but apparently not actually been used.

Awesome. I loved that movie when I was a kid. It was a great action adventure revenge story when I was younger. Now I watch it as a midlife guy and it's such a sad story. Weird how time changes your perspective on things like that.
I'll be back in a bit with a new movie for you guys to guess!
UPDATE: Here's my clue!

Oh is it a French movie? I remember something about a movie producer with family that ends up killing himself halfway through and the rest of the film is the family carrying on. Depressing, but pretty well filmed.
It's not French, but the plot is similar enough to what you describe that you might just be mixing up some details. It was nominated for a bunch of awards at Cannes. Another couple of non-helpful/helpful caps:
(https://i.imgur.com/R8fu7Ar.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/WvMtCkf.png)
Louder than bombs?
That's the one. Compared to what manifest class remembered, it's basically an American film (though the main filmmakers are Norwegian: the director is Joachim Trier), it's not the father but the mother who commits suicide (and the movie starts a couple of years afterwards, though there are a lot of flashbacks), and she's a conflict photojournalist, not a movie producer.
I thought it was a little underwhelming, unfortunately. I can't quite put my finger on anything specifically wrong or not well done, but it never made me believe in the reality of what I was seeing: instead I was just watching Jesse Eisenberg, Gabriel Byrne, Amy Ryan, Isabelle Huppert, David Strathairn (too many famous actors! maybe that's part of the problem...) and Devin Druid moping around playing pretend.
Oh OK, I think I might have seen part of Louder than Bombs, too. Rings a bell. I'm definitely not confusing it with the French one I mentioned, as the scene where the dad shoots himself (randomly in public while standing alone on a side street) has burned itself into my memory...wish I could remember the name. It was a cool movie. If anyone reads this and knows what I'm talking about, please share the name.
I really liked that movie. it was pretty silent and giving Isabelle Hupert only a glimpse of the movie time is a crazy move by director Joachim Trier that really paid off for me. His new flick "Thelma" is even better. This film maker could become the next ingmar bergmann for me.
next one hidden for huge- and weirdness (laugh)

Leave No Trace?
(nod) Over to you Snarky!
Neat-o! I haven't seen Leave No Trace yet â€" turns out I just missed it at the local arthouse. I liked Winter's Bone a lot, so I definitely want to see it at some point. (I also keep mixing up the title with Take Shelter, which sounds somewhat similar from a plot synopsis.)
Here:
(https://i.imgur.com/Ipk1XsU.jpg)
the holy mountain?
No, but what an interesting guess. What made you think that?
(https://i.imgur.com/X7bgDeH.jpg)
bit of a wild guess i'll admit, a few things tbh, the what look like esoteric like hieroglyph-esq things either side of the foreground room, toward the center the guy reminded me the lead actor in the movie, i seem to remember he wore a costume at one stage with really long cuffs, and the other people down there, oh the whole thing i suppose reminded me of the congress scene, but in hindsight i seem to remember that scene being far more bright and vividly colorful, worth a guess try though :)

Leave No Trace is really good, I can definitely recommend it.
Somehow Winter's Bone slipped under my radar. I'll have to check it out, thanks for mentioning it :)
Also, Take Shelter is really good as well, Michael Shannon's performance is on point.

I don't know whether it counts as a hint, exactly, but this is one of my top three favorite movies of the last decade (alongside Dogtooth and A Separation).
I'm starting to think nobody has seen this movie... :~(
You definitely should!

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this. Also, I just watched the trailer for Dogtooth... very strange... and now I'm intrigued.

(The top right corner looks a little off because I've edited out a station logo, just to avoid any sort of meta-spoiler)
After this one maybe we should get back a bit more to mainstream-ish movies that people might have seen?
Maybe a pic of Elizabeth Moss would help? :=
I would object that this film is in fact "mainstream-ish", in that it's a film anyone who watches mildly arthouse international films will probably at least have heard of. Maybe these screens will put an end to it?

Does sir wish to hazard a guess as to the movie picture in question?
I cheated, so no - I'll let someone else have it.
Short of reverse image search I don't know that there is cheating in this game. All right, one more screen and hints:
(https://i.imgur.com/fwETSkA.jpg)
This film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago. It was shortlisted for an Oscar for Best Foreign Movie. The director's previous film is being remade with Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (and to be directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash), under the title Downhill.
The... square? :-D
That is... correct. Thanks, Kumpel! ;-D
How did you get there? I thought the screen where a shirtless Terry Notaro menaces Dominic West would be the one to give it away, since it was featured in most of the publicity and is... memorable.
It is indeed The Square by Ruben Östlund (his previous film was Force Majeure aka Turist, a cringe comedy about a dad who abandons his family to flee an avalanche, and how they get along after it turns out to be harmless). The Square is harder to sum up, but it deals with art, empathy, privilege, violence and hypocrisy through a series of darkly hilarious episodes in the life of a harried museum director.
An outstanding film where every scene is simultaneously a joy and painful to watch. I highly recommend it.
I am a movie critic and leading film journalist for a local german print magazine. Haven't seen it yet though. The restaurant scene gave it away. I remember stills similar to your screenshot of the leading actor.
At the moment I am busy. Please anyone feel free to take over here too 😎
I got there by searching for "Mirrors and piles of gravel,", which lead directly to a review.
I do remember seeing something about this film when it came out but only after reading the review, and I certainly wouldn't have recalled such a generic name on my own.
I think I agree with Mandle :=

I guess if I was Ron Pearlman approaching 70 years old I probably wouldn't want to spend weeks in that punishing makeup either. It'd probably kill the guy.

It was really good. I liked how it focused on the personalities of several top Flatties I've had chat conversations with and showed them away from their cult-leader positions on YouTube and Facebook as vulnerable people in their own right. Made me feel a bit bad about some things have I said to them but, just as often they start in with the ad homs, first so...
The scene I showed is probably the funniest in the film and yes, Mark Sargent IS actually exactly that thick.
Also, apologies for choosing an obscure film soon after complaining about obscure films. (laugh)

Yep. It's a true classic of 80s schlock that was carried in by the Star Wars tidal wave. :cool:
I saw it recently for the first time after TMA posted it in this thread. What a hidden gem.

I watched this film a while back and even screencapped it for use in this thread, but I guess I never got around to posting it. (And then deleted the screencaps, like an idiot, so now I have to get them off YouTube clips.)

Indeed!
I bought a bunch of very old DVDs in Australia at a market and am watching through them.
Creepshow 2 was one of them and, I thought, notable for the scene I showed first with Stephen King as the truck driver who stops at the scene of the hitchhiker's fatal hit-and-run.
A lady from another car asks him what happened and he replies: "Whaddaya think happened? Some guy got creamed. Happens all the time.".
I thought this pretty ironic as he had no idea when writing/performing these lines that this was exactly what would happen to him many years later.
(In fact many of his stories have people getting hit by vehicles: Maximum Overdrive, Christine, Pet Semetery, etc. Maybe he is psychic?!)

No sir! (wrong)
Dream For An Insomniac?
I am very fearful of possibly knowing this. Though not the actual name. Son of Ace Ventura, Ace Ventura Jr. , Ace Ventura II, Ace Ventura Unwanted Spinoff That Should Never Have Been Made. or something like that...
(Imdb says Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr.). Though the images of the kid show his hair much worse. But maybe he tamed it for this scene? Or maybe this is a movie just starring the kid from it? Either way, the fact I even know the movie exists makes me want to curl up in a corner and cry...

I looked it up by Jürgen Prochnow. It's The Replacement Killers.
It is indeed The Replacement Killers. Look it up and give it a watch. In the 90s Hollywood was very busy trying to rip off Hong Kong from the 80s. The Replacement Killers is one of the few movies where Hollywood got it right, in my opinion. It's cheesy, gun-fu fun. :cheesy:

The eerie close ups really stuck with me so it was an easy guess.
I'm not sure which movie to post now so I decided on this really easy one:
This is also Inland Empire! Well, to be precise, this is David Lynch's "Rabbits", which is a series of short films, some fragments of which also got used in Inland Empire.
Wow, I thought I had seen most of Lynch's stuff. Somehow missed Rabbits. The episodes have been strung together on YouTube, if anyone else is interested:
Here's my humble interpretation:
Spoiler
Maybe I'm being too literal, but I thought the entire thing was based on some dark family secret that happened at the hands of Jack. The family is obviously working class and in need of his income, so everyone --including a guilt stricken Jack-- is holding on. The dialogue is partly each character's internal monologue and partly a real dialogue.
I found a completely different interpretation online which is a much more complex story (kind of interesting):
JACK: I need to tell you something. I almost forgot. I have a secret.
SUZIE: Oh?
JACK: I will bet you are both wondering.
JANE: Are you going to tell?
JACK: I am not sure.
SUZIE: When will you tell it?
JACK: I am not sure.
JANE: I'm going to find out one day.
JACK: Let me tell you.
(Seeing that they will eventually learn the secret anyway, Jack tells them his secret.)
(Jane has her own secret, too. The next day after Jack's revelation, she also opens up.)
JANE: There is something I would like to say to you, Suzie. No one can know about this. It happened like that earlier. (referencing what Jack experienced and his revelation about it) I was speaking about the other night. I have known since I was seven. (There may be an age discrepancy between Jack and Jane)
JACK: Since then? Who could have known?
JANE: I saw it too.
JACK: It happens all the time.
JANE: It happened to me only once. I almost forgot.
JACK: When did you go out? (and the demon got in?)
JANE: I went earlier, when it was just light. And then, there it was.
SUZIE: Where was it exactly, do you remember?
JANE: I was near the harbor after it happened. It was raining.
JACK: I knew that was what happened each time I thought about it. (Probably back then, Jack felt that Jane experienced possession, but he didn't dare to talk about it until today, when Jane herself opens up.)
JACK: Where was I? (Why didn't I try to protect you?)
SUZIE: You could not do anything? (to Jack, kind of blaming him)
JACK: No. Nothing.
SUZIE: Why? (again, questioning, as the only person who has not yet experienced possesion)
JANE: I do not know where Jack is.
SUZIE: He goes to work each morning, and then he comes back home each night. It has always been like that. (The two women are naturally worried about Jack's state when he is not at home, the only place they feel safe.)
(Jack comes in and we hear loud applause, because he managed to come home safe and sound one more day!)
JACK: Were there any calls?
SUZIE: There have been no calls today.
(The devil gives them occasional calls, reminding them of their utter doom and they are anxious about these calls.)
(The they hear noises outside the door.)
JACK: I hear someone.
SUZIE: I heard it too.
JANE: I could hear it also.
SUZIE: It must be the rain. (trying to soothe/deceive herself)
JACK: It is the rain. (acceptng the soothing illusion)
JANE: I do not think it is the rain. (facing the reality)
JACK: Quiet.
SUZIE: It was the voice of a man. (finally verbalising the feared thing)
(Jack goes out to look.)
JACK: It was a man in a green suit.
(The man in the green suit of course is the devil, just dropiing by to disturb them.)
SUZIE: There was a call for you, earlier in the day.
JACK: Who was it? (Suzie does not answer, because the caller's identity is obvious.)
JACK: Did he say anything? (Suzie does not answer, maybe the caller didn't say anything at all, or said things too scary to tell.)
(But the phone rings once again! Jack answers this time, after a long pause of hesitataion.)
JANE: Who was on the phone?
JACK: It was the man in the green coat. (Two calls in one day?!) It may have been a coincidence. A coincidence. (Again trying to soothe the women, but Suzie's doom is close.)
JANE: It is still raining. (trying to break the silence, but the others remain silent) I said it looks like it is still raining.
SUZIE: When did you say that? (I wasn't even listening to you.) It is still raining. (saying the same sentence as Jane, pointing at the fakeness of this attempt to break the silence)
JANE: All day. All day. (twice)
JANE: Do not forget that today is Friday. (Do possessions take place on Fridays? Probably. Jane warns Suzie.)
SUZIE: What time is it?
JACK: It must be after 7:00 p.m.
SUZIE: Is it that late?
JACK: It may even be later.
SUZIE: (after checking the time herself) It is 8:35 p.m. (Do possessions take place late at midnight? Probably. That's also why whenever the time is mentioned, we hear a laughter, which points to the doom getting closer and closer. The clock is ticking haha!)
JANE: It is 11:15 p.m., it is dark outside.
SUZIE: And getting darker. There is no moon tonight. (Suzie starts getting really afraid.)
JANE: Well then, it must be very dark. I do not think it will be much longer now. (Get ready, Suzie!) I was wondering when Suzie was going to do that. (She is the last one and her time finally came!)
SUZIE: I wonder who I will be. (The possession turns you into someone/something else, Suzie wonders what her transformation will be like.)
JACK: Do not forget what I have told you. When it happens, you will know it. (As an 'experienced' friend, he gives advice to Suzie.)
SUZIE: I am going to get them. (She is desperately hoping that she can battle these demons in some way.)
JANE: I only wish that they would go somewhere. (She is more hopeless. Rather than battling, she just wishes that they would just go away.)
JACK: We are not going anywhere. (Jack is possessed at this point, and it is the demon inside him talking, telling Suzie that they are not going anywhere, so stop battling!)
SUZIE: I have heard those things being said before. (I don't believe you. I can manage! I can resist!)
SUZIE: It's past midnight! (The time for me has come!)
SUZIE: There is something here! (confronting her demon) Where was it? (It is gone, probably because it is inside her now.) I have misplaced it. I am sure of it now. (misplaced = within herself) Where is it that you think I meant? (What I meant is inside myself.)
JACK: Were you blonde? Suzie? (during your possession?)
SUZIE: It did not happen that way. (So different people experince it differently.) It was red. (explaining the red color coming inside when the door is opened by itself and we hear the characters screaming.)

Wow, I thought I had seen most of Lynch's stuff. Somehow missed Rabbits. The episodes have been strung together on YouTube, if anyone else is interested:
Here's my humble interpretation: Spoiler
Maybe I'm being too literal, but I thought the entire thing was based on some dark family secret that happened at the hands of Jack. The family is obviously working class and in need of his income, so everyone --including a guilt stricken Jack-- is holding on. The dialogue is partly each character's internal monologue and partly a real dialogue.
I also tend to go for the more literal interpretation, but I don't care that much either way. It's all about the atmosphere for me rather than the meaning (nod)
ok, so I guess... there goes another one?

Night on Earth?
Either my movies are too easy, or people have really good taste around these parts :-D Your turn!
I like Jarmusch. And it helps that the only other film with Winona Ryder that I've seen is Beetlejuice. So, that was an easy guess. (laugh)
Next:

"I didn't know sche had a gun. I wash jush waiting for my martini."
That's The Offence, which Sean Connery starred in between his last (official) Bond outing, and the bonkers majesty of Zardoz!
It was quite a change from 007...

Sorry for the delay.

VW, you got 2 different franchises mixed up. ;) Nightwolf was in Mortal Kombat 3. T-Hawk was in Street Fighter 2. (I'm a retro fighting game nerd! Spent waaaayyyyy to much money in the arcades as a teen.)
Yeah, I figured that out. Though I'm not sure why I'd be familiar with T-Hawk since he wouldn't have been in any of the editions I rented or owned.
(http://ags.pics/3E5M.jpg)
Maybe someone can at least recognize this actor who was in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

Rather than the actor, it's the vest that looks familiar... The Warriors?
That's correct.

I only vaguely remember the movie. I think maybe I rented it during a time I got dvds from Netflix.
Now for something completely unrelated.

Yeah, and 90% of how John Saxon (of Nightmare on Elm Street fame) played the werewolf who bit the mom was more like a vampire than a werewolf. I'm not sure if I'd recommend the movie. I got it in a movie set called "Strange Things" which included Krull for some reason.
Geez, I don't remember how many years ago I saw that movie! Just a silly comedy-horror for teens or early desperate housewive...
Ok, enough with the 80's! Let's go forward!

Well, I'd say bald guy is either Peter Boyle or one of the DeLuise brothers has gone bald.
His hair is darker than in The Dream Team, which means this movie is probably from before 1989...
Turk 182?
Yes, that's Peter Boyle. But the film is from the 1970s. So, no Turk 182.
I believe I see Robert Mitchum's partially obscured chin dimple.
And the dude talking to him in the first shot is...Richard Jordan? Which makes the movie...a pretty good one, if I recall. :-D

"Toilet" is set in Canada but produced by a Japanese studio (or joint-produced) I believe, so I was way off.

Ah, I thought you meant this
Toilet (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5785170/).
Yes, it looks a bit like the CN Tower in Toronto, but it's not. It has a very similar name, though â€" only one letter (and a city name) off.
It's the N-Seoul Tower in... well, Seoul. I've been up it.
No idea what film it is though, but now you know the country, it might help others.
That's the one. I went up the mountain and wanted to go up the tower too, but the price put me off and I wasn't feeling well, so I skipped it. (It turned out I was coming down with food poisoning, so maybe for the best.)

It's a pretty good slow-burn (hah!) thriller/drama, based on a story by Haruki Murakami. Several publications rated it one of the best movies of 2018 â€" I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it should appeal to fans of films like Hidden/Caché or Martha Marcy May Marlene.

I guess he looks a little like David Thewlis, but the rest of the pics were clearly set in the Wild West, not Tibet in the 1940s!
C'mon it's an easy mistake to make. The only thing I remember from the plot is a couple of westerners going to Tibet, and you know what - they indeed look kind of like cowboys! (laugh)

edit: wait... the hair... the overalls. Could it be The Lawnmower Man?
I... have
literally no idea what you're talking about :-D I just kind of dislike him because (at least to me) he comes across as someone who believes himself to be far smarter and funnier than he actually is. That smugness. Ick.
Not Mandle, not VampireWombat.

To be fair, that's a character he plays and he usually does have something worthwhile to say about the films but usually towards the end, after the riffing is done.
In the case of The Wall, he makes a point that he would have preferred to learn more about the grotesque characters in the animations (in an amazing sequence that must have cost quite a bit).
Not for everyone though I'm sure.
My guess:
I Know What You Did Last Summer.
You say 90s but it looks like it's set in the 70s so I'm going to guess Dazed And Confused.

Correct, Ben X!
Indeed is Richard Linklater's Dazed And Confused!
I remember it was an "instant-cult" in the 1993... until the instant passed. (laugh) Pratically about '70s teenager that wastes their time in stupid pranks, drinking beer and smoking weeds. But not enough sex. A bit moralistic.
This movie had a cast of future stars: Matthew McConaughey, Milla Johonovich, Ben Affleck and a very young René Zellweger!

"A bit moralistic"? An American movie? Surely you must be joking, or confused! (laugh)

Oops, missed this one.
All the metaphors and characters are absolutely straightforward to decipher (the loss of his father in the war when he was a child, the memories of air raid sirens and bombings, a disintegrating marriage, a controlling mother, abusive teachers, etc). If I was able to understand the whole movie without anybody explaining anything to me at the age of 15, I would assume a supposed film critic should too ;)

Dammit, I immediately forgot that I was stepping back from making guesses! Ok, I'll find a movie I have easily screencappable access to...
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/B1Cs4IN.png[/imgzoom]
Hints: this movie shares an actor with Dazed & Confused, and you will definitely want to use the zoom function to pick out some details!
Pitch Black.
The Dark Tower.
Don't be afraid of the Dark.
Alone in the Dark.
Fifty Shades Darker.
30 Days of Night.
I can go on... :-D
Highlighting it actually brings out a bit of detail. Oh! There's a dude standing right in the middle of the picture!
The Descent?
Waaaaiiiiit I was joking, but could it actually be Pitch Black?
Well spotted, Snarky!
Does either of those films share an actor with Dazed & Confused?

Correct! The shared actor is Milla Jovovich.
Sweet! I'm a bit busy so someone else can do the next one.
This is from an Italian film:
(https://i.imgur.com/cT1wlC8.jpg)
Oh, is it the one where the poor guy kills the rich guy and steals his identity, or is that every Italian film?
Do you mean Antonioni's The Passenger, starring Jack Nicholson? That's not it. This is a horror film.
I'm afraid that's basically the plot of every single Italian film ever made. You should see La Dolce Vita, where Marcello Mastroianni steals Anita Ekberg's identity! What a plot twist!

Spoilers for the movie below:
Spoiler
I really didn't think the Middle-Earth scenes during WWI were necessary especially the dragon one above being related to the Germans' flamethrowers. Also, they make it look like Tolkien is hallucinating these images due to the "Trench Fever" and/or shell-shock he is suffering from which takes away from his grand vision and imagination. Tolkien also had specifically said many times that The Desolation Of Smaug, and the scenes of war, and of Mordor, in LOTR were fixed in his mind before he went to war and were not based on his experiences there.
The rest of the movie with his "fellowship" of friends meeting and growing up is pretty good but I guess the film-maker felt forced to include some fantasy imagery for the fans. I just felt it was wrongly placed.

I previously posted the smokey title graphic from the animated version, this is the sandy title graphic from the live-action one.
I watched the movie as far as the "Make me a prince!" scene and, while the Genie's first joke response is hilarious and unique, they then make Will Smith try to do some Robin Williams humor which really turned me off so much I stopped watching.
"Never Had A Friend Like Me" sequence was amazing though, even rivaling the original, "Prince Ali" musical scene was meh, and Jafar was just unwatchable.

Also, I think "bad" is too broad a term to use when discussing almost anything he made past 1987. It's
all pretty bad, but there are varying degrees of badness to consider.
Dracula 3D is bad, but is it as bad as
The Card Player or
Mother of Tears? Does that make it better or worse than
Giallo? Being an Argento fan is...complicated. :-\

What I can say... Apart the idea of Dracula that morph in a giant mantis (!) this movie is a smooth copy of Francis Ford Coppola's
Bram Stoker Dracula. Not really innovative, just another of the bunch.
Here's the (in)famous Dracula-mantis scene:

Because of the mantis shot, I was going to say Meet the Applegates(which did appear somewhere in this very thread I think), but it seemed a bit off(I don't know, may be the time period it's supposed to be in didn't look right?) so I just passed.

Haha, definitely! Luckily, I avoided most of Argento's more recent films. What I saw wasn't that good, so I didn't persevere (laugh).
I liked some of his early stuff:
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage was a nice movie,
The Cat o' Nine Tails wasn't that bad,
Deep Red is probably his best film, and
Suspiria didn't really convince me, but it had some good scenes and lightning. I liked the style of his early films, but they always felt like there was something lacking, to me. Maybe I'm just not that much into the genre.

Star Trek: Nemesis
"Can you learn to see in the dark, captain?"
It's quite impressive that I hated this even more than Star Trek 5. The TNG crew had done well with the movies (Generations was hit and miss but I enjoyed both Insurrection and First Contact), and then... this monstrosity.
I agree this wasn't one of the great ones. I even fell asleep the last time I watched it. But it seemed somewhat appropriate with the upcoming Picard series.
But, it was mostly the first random movie I came up with that hadn't been done.
It's not the best Star Trek film, but it had its moments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGZDwxnjG1g). I liked it better than Insurrection, which wasn't a bad film itself. I wonder how many people recognised Tom Hardy from that shot.

That's Catherine Keener and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, so although I haven't seen it in years I think this is the excellent Synecdoche, New York.
Nicely done, Ben X. 8-) Yeah, I just saw it recently for the first time and really loved how it keeps to certain consistent motifs while building a lot of inside/outside frame play around it. I read somewhere (maybe it was the Wiki) that described it as a 'horror movie for grown ups', which I thought was quite accurate.
Over to you!
I like Kaufman, but that was a weird film.

I know it's been forever since I saw the Neverending Story 2 and I swore I never would watch it again since reading the book, but I don't remember anything like that...
Wait a minute... crappy morphing effects... fantasy setting... Ah ha! That's not Mark Wahlberg, that's Val Kilmer! This is Willow!
That is correct. Though I was hoping someone would guess The Island of Dr. Moreau.

I'm 98% sure what this is. I get one of the links, but not sure about the 2nd...

Prince Of Darkness? (The effects look similar)

Ok, enough with connections! Let's back to the old Europe!

I watched in early '80s in italian tv, when the "parental control" thing was far to come and every kind movies passed at evening without restrictions... other ages. The effect of a so crude movie on my childhood mind? I'm not a twisted person (well, I hope so) and I totally hate drugs.
This movie is sure the best againist drugs that many others "just say no" stuff.

The thing that kept me away from hard drugs (you'll pry my weed from my cold, dead hands XD) was basically the junkie epidemic of the 80s that was happening in literally every public park, corner and parking lot in my city when I was little. I didn't really need a movie to tell me about it when it was happening right there in front of my eyes every time I left home for school. Rough times.
Anyway, here's an easy one:

Have got one I want to do, but YouTube has now joined Netflix and Prime in not letting me print-screen successfully in some bizarre attempt to stop me pirating video one frame at a time, ironically forcing me to pirate the entire thing from a torrent site, so it'll take a little longer.

A Toy Story reboot where Andy is not a sissy? (Just realized he did not have any sports-based toys)
PC DISCLAIMER TO AVOID OUTRAGE

This is purely an on-purpose non-PC joke. I also did not have any sports toys, and, in Toy Story Andy had no Dad so it kinda made sense, not that Moms cannot also get their sons into sports but statistically it is the Dad. I'm just getting myself into more trouble here aren't I?

Okay, the joke was really not
that offensive. And "sissy" does NOT equate to "gay", it means an "effeminate" male and is a term I would never use outside of an obvious "shock" joke about a fictional character. I do not hold such opinions about real people in real life, or fictional, and was actually called "sissy" myself as a kid, not playing sports etc.
Just my say. Yes, let us move on.
I recommend you spend a few minutes Googling whether 'sissy' is seen as a homophobic or sexist term and then reconsider whether it's worth making "shock jokes" around it that require disclaimers.
And yes, it's Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
Quote from: Ben X on Mon 30/12/2019 00:10:13

The disclaimer was part of the joke that people get offended by the slightest things these days. See how it ends with me getting myself into even more hot water by talking about how Dads encourage boys to play sports?
Look, the whole thing was meant as a bit of a chuckle about PC correctness. Sorry to have offended you or anyone else.

I can't argue with that, but it's nowhere near as good as the first one either, so keep your expectations in check.
I personally think that pilot episode for that Zombieland TV series was better. (I still don't understand why people hated it so much.)

A search for "Spanish comedy horror jesus" tells me this is Las brujas de Zugarramurdi (or Witching And Bitching). You picked a film that didn't get a UK or US theatrical release and isn't on Netlfix (except in Japan), so I'm not surprised no one's seen it.

I've watched (and enjoyed) a few of Alex de la Iglesia's movies, and even being Spanish myself, I didn't even remember that this existed. Kind of an odd choice, for sure.
Uh! I thought it was released more than this due the fame of Alex de la Iglesias! :(
I beg your pardon! I pass the flag to Laura Hunt.

Really close, but incorrect in both the titular and descriptive sense.
Well, there are more than 30 Godzilla films, of which I've seen none.
Could it be
Spoiler
Shin Godzilla?
Here's my reasoning: from the images, it looks pretty modern and set in Japan. And the other three newer Japanese Godzilla films are animated, according to Wikipedia.
I've hidden it as I haven't seen any of the films and maybe people want to try to guess it the "proper" way.
You're correct, it's Shin Godzilla! I think that's definitely a proper way to guess the title, so it's your round!

Maybe it was until the '90s, I never found it again in TV in the 2000s... One of the "intelectual" sci-fi movies that Charlton Heston played in the second half of his carrier!
_
I didn't know the movie was any bit obscure. Admittedly, I've never seen it, but I've heard it referenced quite a lot.
I'm 99% sure that's The African Queen!
The costume made me think African Queen too, but it's clearly Soylent Green.
As for being obscure, maybe it's a generational thing? I've not actually seen the movie either, but I must've seen hundreds of pop-culture references to it.
It's made through peep-holes, or something like that.
I think I heard that Soylent Green was made by David Peoples.
I haven't watched
Soylent Green either, but I think a lot,of people have heard of it, or, at least the line:
Spoiler
Soylent Green is people!
We even had a competition (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=33777.0) which was a homage of this film here.
Wow I was so convinced I was right! Chalk Soylent Green up on my ‘to watch’ list.
Quote from: Jack on Fri 13/03/2020 17:09:27
Soylent Green?
Yep, you got it.
As for what everyone else has said. I'm in the same boat. I've never really watched either, at least not all the way through (I watched the last twenty minutes I think). But I've heard it referenced countless times. Heck, those references are the only reason I even know it exists.
I saw Soylent Green once. Quite a memorable film.

(Also: David Lynch, Patrick Stewart, Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young…) This is not it, though.
There's a new one on the way, too, that was gonna come out this Christmas. (Though now who knows?) That one's by Denis Villeneuve (
Blade Runner 2049,
Arrival), with an all-star cast: Timothee Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgård…
Sorry to derail the thread, I'm just slightly obsessed. :-[
The spice must flow - though imo another Dune movie isn't needed. Furthermore, afaik only 1,5 books of the series are good or decent (the first and god-emperor).
Not Dune.
Quote from: Snarky on Tue 31/03/2020 18:30:39Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Arrival)

I like that guess, too! The steak was cut into two for a comparison of the flavour of teleported flesh versus original. The champagne was drank in celebration of the first successful teleportation of an animal subject. The copious sugar in the cappuccino was an early indication of strange behaviour following the scientists self-teleportation which spirals into total sugar junkie-dom.

Hmmmmmm...
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?
Not set in England, although it is set in New England.
It'll be a couple of days before I can post a new screenshot.
Cape Fear?
Something Wicked This Way Comes? (But I don't think Dark's Carnival had a roller coaster nor was open during the daytime, and I think was set in a mid-west town so...)
Thinner?
Salem's Lot?
(New England, gotta be Stephen King!)
You haven't hit it yet but you're on the right track.

I'm guessing that's the one! Haven't seen the movie but I read the short story and "Riding The Bullet" refers to a roller coaster in the story.

I only half watched it in October. But between memory and images I could find, the roller coaster looks very different.
Yeah, not "Riding the Bullet".

Herbie: On its way to destruction
I KNEW I'D SEEN IT!!!
The Dead Zone
Correctamundo.
A very underrated Stephen King adaptation. One of the really good ones (along with the original Pet Sematary and Christine) that came out in an era when Stephen King movies were usually shlock (Graveyard Shift, Maximum Overdrive, Sleepwalkers etc.) and before his works were taken seriously enough to be turned into "serious" movies (Stand By Me, Shawshank, The Green Mile etc.).
Kind of ironic that the first Stephen King movie adaptation of Carrie and the second (I think) The Shining are both considered among some of the finest movies ever made. Then everything went to hell for a while.
(New pic coming soon)
Jeez good for you. Would have never got it from those shots. My friends and I used to laugh so hard at this scene:
To this day I've never seen or read Carrie. Anything involving adolescent cruelty is the one niche genre I find difficult to watch, but yeah I heard it is a good movie.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"He'll probably be in... the Zen Room!"
Well done! My favorite musical of all time and also in my top ten movies of all time.
I watched with the commentary of Riff-Raff and Magenta (I know the actors have real names but not for me) switched on the other night and was amazed to hear their behind-the-scenes look-back on how slap-dash the production mostly was. They had such a tight shooting schedule and budget.
You would never know it from looking at the finished movie. It is perfect! There is not a single shot I would change (boom-mic shadows included. Definitely Ed Wood tributes and not mistakes (laugh)).
I guess it helps when a lot of the cast had been performing the show on stage for ages and some were even the creators, but playing to the camera instead of a live audience is a completely different thing. The director is a genius!
You can see that everyone involved put 100% into everything they did and that shines stronger than any amount of budget ever could.
I did get a bit sneaky with the cropping of the shot to hide the hookah pipe and Dr. Scott's wheelchair and plaid lap blanket because I wanted a true fan to win the round.
Oh! Rocky!
Okay, here's another sneaky one also aimed at true fans of a musical.

An oddity among David Lynch films in that the viewer can always understand exactly what's happening. (laugh)
I've been on a bit of a Lynch kick lately and I'm mostly on board for the surreal quality of his storytelling but for me it's comic relief in some of his work that is most jarring. Certainly "The Elephant Man" is one of his more accessible works.

Sorry...
The only movie I'm any bit familiar with is The Three Musketeers (1993).
Uhm, pretty sure it's with Michael York... though I don't remember that particular scene...
So I'm going to guess: The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge (1974)
Otherwise it's probably: The Three Musketeers (1973) and I erase that scene from memory... (laugh)
Nice pull on the subtitle for "The Four Musketeers". It is "The Three Musketeers" from 1973 which also has a subtitle of "The Queen's Diamonds".

But I'll give you a new picture (note, that there's a hint on the previous image).
(https://i.imgur.com/hpITfs2.png)
The newspaper says "New Zealand" and the soldiers in the last picture are wearing slouch-hats so I'm guessing the movie is about the A.N.Z.A.C. forces during WWI.
The only one I really know of is "Gallipoli" with Mel Gibson but I don't think this is that movie.
You got the right geography and almost right the time period (it's a little over 10 years to WWI). ;)

It's one of my new favorite movies of all time but I just didn't expect it to show up here.
You got it! That is indeed Billy Zane and Jada Pinkett, and in the second pic she's with legendary character actor Dick Miller.
The specific image made me not recognize Billy Zane. I can recognize Jada Pinkett-Smith knowing now. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to have seen the movie and not gotten it on the second picture. lol
I watch the movie most Octobers the last few years.

It is indeed Knives Out, a movie I felt almost physical delight in watching, and which has upset my top five ranking of best mystery movies.
Now it goes:
1: Deathtrap
2: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (either version, but the Swedish version one millimeter higher)
3: Knives Out
4: Murder On The Orient Express (the original film)
5: Sleuth (the original film)
(Clue has been pushed back to 6th place, sorry Tim Curry)
Knives Out is a perfectly plotted mystery movie. There are no plotholes or flaws in character motivation. There are no silly tricks. All the cards are laid out on the table but it still takes at least a second viewing to understand what all the cards mean. Greatest fun I've had watching a movie in a long time.
I thought that finger looked familiar!
I am massive fan of mystery movies, I'm delighted to see Deathtrap and Sleuth on your list there. The only one you mentioned that I haven't seen are the Dragon Tattoo movies, but I have definitely been meaning to get around to them! My own personal favourite mystery movie is David Fincher's Zodiac, I think it does a terrific job of portraying INVESTIGATION as opposed to puzzle-solving if that makes sense. I also don't think there's a better example of obsession put to film, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of watching Knives Out in the cinema, it was a real blast to watch with a crowd! There was a great atmosphere in the theatre, you could practically hear people kicking themselves when they realised they had missed a clue! I think the only thing that pulled me out of the experience was the first 30 seconds or so of hearing Daniel Craig's accent... it's not a bad accent, from what I understand it's quite an accurate cajun accent, but hearing it come out of his mouth left me a little aghast for a moment!
Here's the next picture for you all to guess:

I watched the movie three times.
The second time was to catch all the clues once I already knew the plot.
The third time was specifically to relish in every line of dialog spoken by Daniel Craig's character, Detective Blanc. Every line he speaks is a perfect piece of poetry, yet he pulls it off effortlessly even while doing the accent.

Bagpipes are a traditional instrument in most regions of Celtic heritage, not just Scotland but also Ireland and even Galicia (https://www.cultura.gal/sites/default/files/images/evento/manxadoira_0.jpg) and Asturias (https://c8.alamy.com/compes/c4xc7d/la-gaita-tradicional-asturiana-oviedo-asturias-espana-c4xc7d.jpg) in Spain. (Also Greece and Turkey, but I don't think this movie is from either of those countries :P)
And like milkanannan said, hurling is most definitely Irish.
(Edit: just did a quick search and that's apparently the uniform of the Kilkenny hurling team, so I guess the movie is specifically set in Kilkenny? Still no idea of the title though.)
Wow, it is so lovely to log on and see so many people who have knowledge about my country! Hurling is indeed our national sport, or should I say one of our two national sports. We also have a game called Gaelic Football which has very similar rules to hurling but instead of using a small ball and a stick, you use a larger soccer-style ball which you can kick and throw around. (I've been told it's similar to Aussie Rules Football in many ways.) They are both high-scoring, fast-moving sports, I'd encourage anyone to look at a highlights clip on YouTube if you like that kind of thing!
Despite that picture showing the Kilkenny hurling team, the film is actually NOT an Irish film, though a large portion of it was set and shot in Dublin. Here's the title shot, minus the title:

Ah, yes, sorry. I was thinking of the Caber Toss.

Ek Tha Tiger
Ek Tha Tiger was filmed primarily in India, as well as several in other locations in Turkey, Ireland, and Cuba, and was initially scheduled for release in June 2012, before being released worldwide on August 15, 2012.
An Indian Hindi-language romantic action thriller film directed and co-written by Kabir Khan, and produced by Aditya Chopra.
Sequel: Ek Tha Tiger 2... Tiger Zinda Hai ( transl. 'Tiger is alive')... ;)
Well done, Slasher! That is exactly right! I hadn't seen any Bollywood movies in this thread so I decided to throw one in. My next picture was going to be from one of the scenes set in Istanbul, just to mess with Laura...
If anyone is looking for an "entry level" Bollywood movie, I can't recommend Ek Tha Tiger highly enough. It's really accessible to western audiences, there's only a handful of moments where they play up the typical Bollywood tropes so it's a great way for newcomers to get accustomed to the style. It's a pretty creative film, it's shot very well, there are some great music themes, it's a little on the longer side but I think it earns its run time. The performances are all solid, though the dialogue is a little clunky sometimes. (That could be down to the translation though.) The action scenes are very thrilling and fun, without being overly silly. On a scale of "realistic" to "preposterous" I think it's somewhere between The Bourne Identity and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Think Goldeneye with a smaller budget and a great big love story thrown in.
It's actually pretty well liked in Ireland, and not just because a good 40 minutes of the movie is set here. It actually does a pretty good job of portraying modern Ireland, I dare say it actually has a more accurate portrayal than a lot of Hollywood movies that try to include Ireland in some way. Plus it's the only movie where you'll see Salman Kahn pursuing baddies through the mean streets of Dublin's inner city...

I only found out that there was a sequel in the past couple of weeks, I'm excited to track it down and give it a watch!

I don't think there is a film called

The Dead, which is from Joyce's
Dubliners. And, since they show it on TV every Christmas over here, I've seen it more times than I care to count. Of the top of my head, I don't recall that image featuring, but I could be wrong.

A very good, if largely forgotten film (it never even made it cinemas in the US), that recently had a very nice blu-ray release.
Always tough to identify an unseen film but especially hard when you've never even heard of it. It did sound like an interesting one.

Weird. That popped into my head too, when I first saw that image. And while there is a playground in
Let Me In (and the original
Let the Right One In), I don't think it matches up. Plus the aspect ratio doesn't match (I think this may be an older movie), and I don't think the white in the image is snow.

But I could be waffling nonsense. So I'm going to guess...
Strange Brew?
Neither of those though I did rewatch "Strange Brew" recently on Canada Day.

Absolutely, Jay.
Thanks, Quintaros. Here goes... The boy pictured plays spoons. (laugh)
I'll also give some additional clues based on the earlier guesses.
The white in the first image is snow.
The movie could be considered old (though any film that I remember being released never seems old to me).
As Jay says "it is a good film" but it came out around the same time as several similar seeming films that weren't so good and I think this one is largely forgotten as a result. This is the director's first English language film and he's since gone on to much greater success.
Quintaros.
I got a couple of stills from a Film I love.
Problem is I think my images will be an easy one to get... So...
I will wait a while and see if someone can get your movie. ;)
It's up to you, Jay but I'd suggest you take it away if no one else gets it by end of day.
Okay. ;-D
Surely someone must get the film.
It can't only be you and me that has impeccable taste in films. (laugh)
Hugo?

Hugo?
That's right, Martin Scorsese's first English film, 2011's "Hugo". (wtf)
This is mad!
I'm going to give one more clue, added to the clue I gave earlier.
The boy plays the spoons... He collects wire and has a ball of it that he makes models out of.
OHHHH is it Mimic?
You got it, Ben.
Hoorah! I went back and looked closer at the pics (use the zoomable images function and people might guess stuff quicker!), and it came to mind from 'weird-faced thing + scientist in sewer', and then the director hints supported it.
Here's my next one. Link to the previous:

I never saw the movie, but I read the book, and your description rang a faint bell. I can't believe the book came out back in 2006 and the film in 2008â€"if you'd asked me I would have guessed I read it around 2012 and the film was maybe 2016.
Ah, The Ruins. I remember it now, the old dude shooting the young dude, the leg bit, etc. Quite a good movie. Never read the book myself, but I would've guessed the movie to also be more recent than 2008 (at least sometime in the '10s).
Well played. :)

It is a little-known and very effective shocker. The performances really sell what is happening to the characters as being real and even made me wince quite a few times. The movie stays true to the characters and you never get that "There's NO WAY that person would do THAT!" feeling you get in most horror movies. Even when they do something obviously incredibly dangerous, there is an actual risk/reward consideration they make before doing so (the cell-phone plot point in particular). I'm guessing this comes from it being based on a book by a writer who actually took the time to think through every point, and not a hack horror-movie writer who tries to churn out as many rushed scripts as possible in the hope that at least one will be picked up.
I thought the book was OK, but didn't hear many good things about the movie. I know they changed the ending, and weren't all the vines done in CGI or something? Interesting to hear that it may be underrated.
This, I expect, is a total gimme:

Yeah, that was indeed a cool movie. I only watched it once maybe 20 years ago, but I can still recite lines from when Billy Bob Thornton's character dies. :~(
Goddammit!!! I knew I'd seen it! Only like 10 times! A Simple Plan is my go-to example of a perfectly plotted and paced movie!
I read the book cover to cover in a single day before I saw the movie and then when I heard there was a movie coming I thought it was going to suck.
There is literally NOTHING you can cut from the book. It's that tightly plotted. If you try to cut even one character or one scene the entire story will not make sense.
But somehow they did it and it doesn't feel rushed or crammed at all. Absolutely brilliant movie!
I also love that, when you get to the end, the real villain of the film turns out to be
Spoiler
The wife! In a very Lady Macbethian way. She's the one who made all the selfish choices along the way that led to the ultimate tragedy of the story. If she had just shut up the main character would have turned the money in. If she had just shut up the massacre at the drunkard friend's house wouldn't have happened. If she had just shut up the main character wouldn't have gone to meet the "FBI agent". If she had just SHUT UP!!!

Probably because it was a Will Ferrel comedy. Then add that I generally don't like rated R comedies...
Yeah I also have never found Will Ferrel funny. John C Reilly can be funny at times.
I’ve got a friend that hates that movie too, but it’s because he’s 40 and lives with his parents. (laugh)

Less cryptic clues may follow... :)
Romy and Michele's high school reunion? (I'll admit I haven't seen it in years, but I recall it was terribly painful to sit through, like a needle in the neck filled with chick flick). :=
Looks like Sean Connery as James Bond to me so:

No to No. A little more recent than that.
First clue: The movie in question came out a year earlier than a movie called Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

But due to PTSD after seeing Romy and Michele, I've blocked out everything that happened before that terrible day... even my own childhood. :sad:
1996 movie, eh? Is it Beavis and Butthead Do America? Ghost in the Shell? I hear the kids are really into that animu thing these days.
That's the same location as that scene in
La La Land, isn't it? (Apparently "Cathy's Corner" on Mount Hollywood Drive.)

Mulholland Falls, another (somewhat) forgotten movie that warrants returning to today. It actually quite good, with a hell of a cast, and some nice period detail.
Yeah, it looks worth checking out.

That kid looks super familiar! I'm fairly certain Mystery Science Theater did a riff on Santa Claus and the Martians, so maybe this is a MST3k riff too? And that's the connection?
Based on the clothing, this might be Delta Knights. I think that's what it was called anyways.
You are mostly correct. It's technically Quest of the Delta Knights. And yes, MST3K is the connection. The kid might be familiar from Robin Hood: Men in Tights since that came out the same year. Unless for some reason you watched the Josh Kirby movies, which there seem to be 6 of...

I remember watching Alone in the Dark and really liking the movie. Many years later I learnt about Uwe Boll, and since I didn't remember anything about the movie, I was terrified of watching it again, in case I ended up hating it. (laugh)

Because Boll's work is so uniquely inept, it kind of deserves it's own scale of quality. If you take it as writ that everything he makes is garbage, you can work out were on the pile certain movies sit. For instance, if
Alone in the Dark and, say,
FarCry, are the expired yogurt you threw out last night, then that would mean that

Wayne Newton is in it, if anyone wants to hint.

This is a movie I and my friends are quoting most weeks, but it may be it's only an underground hit in Norway and a bomb everywhere else. (laugh)

I think it got a very brief cinema run in Europe, but I certainly only saw it on VHS originally.
That's correct, LimpingFish! I held off showing Priscilla Presley, but apparently I made it a bit too hard.
I've seen it at some movie clubs, at least. I tried searching for some youtube clips showing some one-liners, but they were too long...simply too difficult to choose, I suppose. I guess my fave is "So many assholes....so few bullets!"
Well, after that thrilling display of my taste for the apparantly distasteful, it's your turn, LimpingFish!

Could it possibly a live-action adaptation of Crying Freeman?
You are correct! It is indeed the 1995 live-action adaptation of Crying Freeman (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112750/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), which, IMHO, is better than the source material (and certainly better than the anime, which was terrible.)
Ah, goodie! I read the manga many years back because it was written by Kazuo Koike. Way, way over the top, but still entertaining, in its way. Saw the anime once, but I have never seen the live-action.
I'll have a think about another movie. If anyone is sitting ready, they may pose a question before me. :)

Nope, and nope.

The male lead's history is eerily similar to the female lead's history.
When I looked up the actors, one of them has a connection to Disney.

I have never been this stumped by this thread before. Whatever this movie is, I'm gong to have to watch it now. I feel like I've already seen half of the film just in still images. :wink:
Is it one of the 'I know what you did last summer' titles?
I guess this film is too obscure for AGS, despite all the screenshots, and even naming one of the main characters. :undecided:
Shame, cos it's such a good film.
I'm throwing in the towel. It's called 'The Student'

Isn’t that cheating? I just figured we were all operating under the honour code.
I’m surprised none of us had heard of The Student. Looks like a pretty polished movie.
Are you going to give it another go, Frodo?

It's cheating if you use google's image to look up a picture. But you can google key words. ;)
Shock! 8-0
I've never had to resort to google to find an answer! (wtf)
But I will say that it's a fine line between posting a movie that's too easy, versus posting one that most people will deem "obscure". Having said that, we've posted hundreds of movies in this thread, with relatively few duplications, and we've never truly been stumped.
But it seems we have less players than we used too. :(

Not a joke. The landscape reminded me of the scene near the end on the coast of Ireland. Never seen Bad Taste sadly.
It's a fun movie, made on basically zero budget. I do have to ask myself why it is that I instantly recognize a frame from a movie I watched once, 25 years ago (that's Peter Jackson, sans beard!), while I sometimes struggle to remember and identify fairly close relatives I have met many, many times…
Anyway, something a bit seasonal:

I know what you mean, it must be over 20 years ago now that i watched that movie and i don't think I've watched it again since, but for some weird reason it's always in my mind. Very good cult classic.

Here's a new movie.
(https://i.imgur.com/QD69Bpr.png)
I'll go with the obvious answer first...Dune?
It's a really interesting scene to me, because it shows just how much a small change can affect everything in an adaptation.
The book goes to considerable effort to motivate why Duke Leto doesn't turn on his shield at this momentâ€"it may even be the original reason for the idea that shields and lasguns cause nuclear-like "explosive pyrotechnics" if they interact.
The movie, on the other hand, makes no reference to this phenomenon or danger, and instead simply introduces the concept of missiles with drills that can penetrate shields. Which means it can allow Leto to turn on his shield in this scene, as seen in the screencap. The fallout of this adaptation choice is that shields are relatively nerfed in the movie version, with significant implications for how all the battle and combat scenes are staged, the design of armor, etc.
yes it's Dune! That was... Quick! You go! :)
I watched the old movie before the new one and at least in that front it felt a huge improvement. :p

It's pretty bad overall, to be honest, but the idea of "several people telling stories on a train bound to hell and a mysterious figure who could be the/a devil or Death himself" was the starting point for If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers! (In case it wasn't obvious :-D)

Yes, there are some nice ideas in it but the result is quite weak. There are better horror anthology films.

The Woman in Black?
(Without having seen it, based on your hints and the atmosphere of the pics.)
Yup, well done!
This would have been my next clue:
(https://i.imgur.com/8qoNm8C.jpg)
Daniel Radcliffe starred in the 2012 remake as the unfortunate young lawyer; this is the TV movie from 1989. The guy in the first picture is Bernard Hepton as the local farming magnate who helps the hero; Hepton starred in Secret Army, a brilliant drama about the Belgian Resistance that has unfortunately been overshadowed by its parody, 'Allo 'Allo! (He's also, I've just learned, in Get Carter.)
Alrighty, who knows this classic?
(https://bilderupload.org/image/ba9567722-movie1.png)
I'm pretty sure that's Metropolis - I remember seeing it a few years ago, and loving it. :smiley:
Metropolis it is indeed.
Did you see the restored (as much as possible) original version or the cut one?
Sorry, I don't know if I saw the original restored version, or the cut version. It was on TV, so it was probably the cut version.
But I remember thinking the scene when Marie becomes a human very eerie. All those electrical circles buzzing around her. Eek! :sealed:
This next film is an underrated gem.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/TqtOYWz.png[/imgzoom]
EDIT: Bonus points if you can name the back of the head on the right. :wink:
My guess for the head is Kevin Kline, which makes me want to guess "Fierce Creatures" for the movie but not correct I'm sure.
No idea the movie, but is the head John Cusack?
The head isn't Kevin Kline or John Cusack, and the film isn't Fierce Creatures. :smiley:
Is the Q on the wall relevant? Is it that dragon horror movie from the 80s called 'Q'?
I'm assuming not, so I'll make another stab at the head (oof, that doesn't sound nice!) Possibly Chris Penn? Or...Elvis?! (laugh)
The head could possibly be a young John Travolta?
No idea about the movie, but is the woman on the floor in some sort of superhero outfit? Bionic Woman?
The Q on the wall is not relevant. A dragon horror film called 'Q' sounds interesting, but it's not this film. :smiley:
The woman on the floor has blacked out her eyes, and she has a blanket draped over her. It's not a superhero outfit. :wink:
No correct guesses for the head yet. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. :cool:
They're in a radio station, if that helps any. :smiley:
I'm not feeling very well.

Ooh, that makes me think: is it that movie with Noomi Rapace? Lamb?
No to both, but Snarky is on the right track. It is a film about a wildly implausible situation which in just accepted as normal.
Hmm, I'm relatively sure that it's not The Lobster, which is the movie that comes to mind that best fits that description.
Black Sheep (2006)...?
nope

Close enough... and yeah, it is an amazing little short film, adorable and touching, but also now has been made into a full length movie. I think my shots are all from the short film.
The name also continually slips my mind because it is so basic: "Brian and Charles"

For the new one, all the red dresses and mirrors made me think of the Suspiria remake, but I don't really think that's it.
Arggggh, Snarky, I had just almost broken my ceaseless binging of David Mitchell comedy. Just when I was almost out, you pull me back in!
EDIT: I just watched it and must say that only Mitchell and Webb would have a "The Great Escape" reference in a skit about a confused robot created to smell soup.

I saw the straw boaters and first figured the gaggle were mid-twentieth century students or pupils, but the police vest puts it in the contemporary era, which makes them anachronistic. (Except at Harrow, apparently.) Then I realized they must be girls' school uniforms, and there you are.
It must be one of the post-2000 reboot movies. I'll guess that modern classic (14% on Rotten Tomatoes),
St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold.
Really close, but wrong one! :-D

Well it's obviously St Trinian's (2007), but since Snarky more or less got it, I think he should take the next turn. (Besides, I don't have any ideas for a movie to use.)

The shot has not been cropped.
On the basis that is looks vaguely like Sandra Bullock I'll hazard a guess at The Net.
No. The bottom half of the face reminded me of Timothee Chalamet, and I was wondering if anybody would make a guess in that direction, but apparently not.

Yup, that's the one. In my opinion it has not aged well, but I do appreciate Jodorowsky's ambivalent attitude to his (anti-)hero, and the "God will protect us!" bit towards the end still hits pretty hard.

Black and white japanese film? I am pretty sure that of those I have only watched the Seven Samurai, and iirc there was a theatre scene there but can't recall if this was part of it :=
Actually the gif is pretty misleading, because it's not a black and white movie.

I watched it ages ago and remember really liking the way several of the scenes were shot. The story is (I think) intentionally disjointed and dreamlike, so you sort of have to go with it and then discuss what meaning you can pull out of it after. Loosely reminded me of a David Lynch movie.

Argh, my new screenshot is on the thread's previous page. Here it is again:

Toni Collette and Jesse Plemons: must be I'm Thinking of Ending Things.
I haven't seen it, and I heard some comments that book it is based on is pretty crap, but Charlie Kaufman is usually a good bet.
I knew I recognized the face of that young woman (Jessie Buckley): from the trailer for Men, of course. She was also in Chernobyl, apparently; is she the pregnant woman who sneaks in to be with her radioactive husband?
I’m not sure about that, but you named my screenshot correctly. Your go!
I wonder if this will prove difficult or not. If someone has seen the movie this should be a good clue; otherwise you'll have to work it out from the actors in the upcoming shots.

Now you pretty much have all elements of the movie, I don't think more screens are going to help. As a hint, the two actors seen here (one of whom died tragically) are well known for working with this particular director.
Is anyone at least able to identify any of the actors? By role if not by name?
Wish I could, but I’ve got nothing. Looks like Michelle Pfeiffer and Margot Robbie had a child.
Well, the guy has had a pretty solid career as a character actor, usually playing slimy bureaucrats, cheating husbands and similar parts (he's an undercover HYDRA agent within SHIELD in Ant-Man, for example), kind of the opposite of his role in this film (which was his breakout).
The woman in the last two shots was one of the most prominent indie actresses of the era. She later transitioned into directing, making one fairly well-known movie, but was murdered before it came out.
The woman in the foreground of the second shot starred in a very high-profile TV show, which recently got a movie prequel.
Waitress?
You're on the right track. The female lead is indeed Adrienne Shelly, who later directed Waitress.
Factotum?
No, much earlier than that. The movie came out in 1990, so the fashions reflect the time it was made, more or less.
I only have seen the male actor in the last pic, but don't know his name and incentive to try to find it is low :=
Trust?
Yes, Trust. Well done.
Both Adrienne Shelly and Martin Donovan starred in a number of Hal Hartley movies, and had their breakthroughs in them. This is the only one with both of them, though.
I am surprised nobody recognized Edie Falco, from The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie (and most recently as Hillary Clinton in American Crime Story).
I like his long coat in your last screenshot, Snarky. :smiley:

Oh that’s Dont be a menace to society while drinking your juice in the hood. That’s actually a really funny movie!
Yes It's awesome. It's not the exact title but I'll allow it :D "Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood" it's also known as Ghettoblaster. You're up
Oh right - I think I got it mixed up with some of the movies it parodies, i.e. Menace to Society. Well done on the truly random movie choice! (laugh)
OK I saw this recently for the first time (and then had to rewatch it and parts of it over and over):

Yes! Great movie. Your go.
Edit: By the way, the whole film is on YouTube if anyone's interested.
I haven't seen it, but recognized the face of that boy (and the soldier on the left) from stills.
Here's one everybody should have a chance to work out (eventually), even if you haven't seen the film:

Mortal Kombat?
No…

Oh, haven't seen it, and didn't even knew there was "a" movie about the story (I found 2 movies actually).
After watching both trailers, I'll go with Thirteen Lives.
You're right! The Rescue is a documentary, while Thirteen Lives is the fictionalized film with Viggo Mortensen. And they're about the rescue of the kids and coach stuck in the flooded cave in Thailand, of course.
(I figured the air tanks in the second photo and the "iDive" shirt in the third would get someone on the right track.)

Apparently the actors in the film told Ron Howard that, after intensive training with the equipment, they wanted to do all the diving themselves without any stuntmen. Ron Howard told them that would be impossible. So they hounded him until he finally just let them.
They probably already knew the story about his father actually riding his horse in the land-race scene in Far and Away. Another great story that is worth looking up.
I actually got it (or suspected it on the 2nd pic, but you had already posted pic 3 by then... (laugh) )
The second movie I was referring to, was not the documentary (that I haven't watched yet either) but Cave Rescue (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15694358/)
Apparently 2022 is dedicated to this mission, with 2 movies, a documentary and a limited series.... And I'm lacking on seeing any of them. (roll) I actually learned about the mission from a YT cave dive channel I often watch.
Anyway, now to a new movie (sorry for the bad quality, it's taken from YouTube).

Checking a map and then googling "saitama film" brings up a lot of hits relating to One Punch Man, an entity I am vaguely aware of from internet memes but that I have steadfastly refused to learn anything about. Is that it?

No, but "Saitama" IS half the title in Japanese!
Okay, nobody knows this one. Cat got the closest so over to her if she wants it.
It was "Tonde Saitama" or "Fly Me to the Saitama"... an excellent movie, especially for people who live in/near Saitama like me lol.

Quote from: TheFrighter on Fri 21/10/2022 08:26:55Correct, Laura Hunt! An adaption of Angela Carter's novels!
It's actually an adaptation of a couple of her short stories :) To anybody who doesn't know her work, I
absolutely recommend checking her out. The collection where these stories appear,
The Bloody Chamber, is a great starting point, but my favourite by far is her novel
Nights at the Circus. Her prose is just dazzling, especially towards the end of her career (
The Bloody Chamber,
Nights at the Circus,
Wise Children,
Black Venus).
So, on with the next film...

I don't think any more images will make it any easier at this point, so if nobody guesses it correctly with this one, I'll reveal the title and pass it on.
Well, I was able to google my way to the answer based on the hint about its similarity to Ginger Snaps ("werewolf movie 1800s" was the ticket), so if nobody recognizes it...

Is it Jackie Chan? 8-0
Well, it's Jackie Chan...recent Jackie Chan. I could just look it up, but instead I'll try and recall some recent JC roles, from movies that I haven't watched, purely off the top of my head.
...
I'm thinking something with..."Tiger" in the title. I remember Tsui Hark directing something recently, which may have been called Tiger Mountain, but I don't think Jackie Chan was in it. Or was he? It looks like it's set during WWII, perhaps the Sino-Japanese conflict, and JC has been in some movies that fit that description.
Damn, now I have to know...
EDIT: Argh...I was actually on the right track! I haven't seen it, but I know of it.
It is Jackie Chan!
I still don't know the movie, and don't want to just use google (laugh)
It definitely has Tiger in the title. :cool:
Is it "Tiger"? :=
Tiger is partially correct. (https://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/Roger_RollEyes.gif)
Well, I googled it, just to declare open floor and move things along :)
It is called "Railroad Tigers". A missed opportunity to use the name of that old coin-op, Tiger Road.
Google wins. Your turn.

Yep. She gets an easy question, but he has to count backwards from 100, in 7s. Poor boy. :undecided:
But what is the name of the film? :cool:
Eh, that is very hard to recall :D (I did remember the doctor's office doll, and the doctor father)
I know it has the protagonist posing as a mannequin in the opening scene, and that the movie isn't really interesting after that scene and the counting memory ^^
Some 80s horror...
Isn't interestng...? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
It's a brilliant film. :grin:
EDIT: I'll post another screenshot this evening.

Iirc it becomes somewhat of a standard slasher after that, which is why I personally got let down (then again, the beginning did get me intrigued, so it was a matter of expectations!)

Hm, not sure if it reminds me of some movie, or just other similar scenes ^^
That second screenshot looks like a reference to the painting Christina's World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina%27s_World) by Andrew Wyeth, but that doesn't really help to identify it, since the movies the Internet mentions as referencing it—Forrest Gump, Oblivion (2013), I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Tideland, Days of Heaven—don't seem like viable possibilities.
I'm getting vibes that I've seen something like that...a woman dreams and keeps waking up in front of the cursed house. Can't place it, though.
Snarky
I didn't know the Christina's World painting before. But you're right, it is indeed like the 2nd screenshot. :smiley:
I have no idea if that scene was inspired by the painting, or not.

It's kind of a forgotten movie, and I've only seen it once myself, and I consistently get it's title confused with another movie from the same year with a similar premise, Dream Demon.
But this one is Bad Dreams.
Quote from: LimpingFish on Sat 07/01/2023 00:06:48But this one is Bad Dreams.
You cracked it, it's the brilliant Bad Dreams film, with Richard Lynch (the man with the ladle) playing the sinister cult leader. 😁
Although Dream Demon is also a really good film.
Your turn LimpingFish 🙂

Ah, Richard Lynch...so many b-movies enlivened by his presence. I recommend Larry Cohen's God Told Me To, where he plays a hermaphrodite Christ-like human-alien hybrid!

No, not one of the Naked Gun films, and no that isn't Geena Davis.
I'm beginning to suspect my plan has worked too well. :-[
Remember, this is a really well-known movie, that some people will have watched multiple times; one that would be instantly recognizable if I posted one of the more iconic scenes, or one featuring any of the main cast. Dialogue and images from it have been consistently regurgitated in almost every facet of pop-culture over the years.

Die Hard taking place almost entirely in an around the Nakatomi Plaza building (the logo in the last shot), but there's a number of scenes set at the McClane residence and at a TV studio. For the record, I had a couple of other shots prepared which may or may not have given the game away earlier...

Anyway, Sinitrena wins! :)
It was the logo that gave it away, though I was sure I had seen the movie after the first picture.
Next one:

The Shining?
Nope.

(Sorry, the scene is a bit dark and blurry. I promise, the next one will be clearer.)
I think I know this one...maybe... :-\
I'll wait for a bit, though.
Red riding hood?
Highlander?
No and no.
(https://iili.io/HY4dZp1.md.png)
Ladyhawke?
Yeah, there was a certain Rutger Haurerishness about that last image... I haven't actually seen it; is it good? (I always think of Lady-Hawk and Lyndon-Bee Johnson from The Venture Bros.)
And was your hypothesis correct,
@LimpingFish?
Staying with snowy mountains:

Quote from: Snarky on Mon 16/01/2023 07:18:31And was your hypothesis correct, @LimpingFish?
It actually was. It was the first thing that popped into my head, simply because it was a hawk flying over some mountains, which happens a lot in that particular movie. Of course, maybe the hawk was incidental, and the snowy mountain was the main focus, so it could have been was movie primarily concerned with mountains (perhaps
The Eiger Sanction).
Lesson to be learned: Always trust your first hunch. (nod)
...
Unless it's wrong.
I expect this will give it away:

As a point of interest, I got this one from a list of movies recommended for adventure-game fans.
The Name of the Rose?
Correct. It has (book and movie) directly inspired at least four adventure games: La abadía del crimen (https://web.archive.org/web/20160405133746/http://www.abadiadelcrimenextensum.com/) (1987), Il noma della rosa (1993), Murder in the Abbey (2008), and most recently Pentiment (2022).
Here's the next screencap I was going to share, just because I think the outfits are neat:
(https://i.imgur.com/sTNgBYX.jpg)
I happened to watch The Name of the Rose again quite recently, having not seen it since it first aired on TV back in the late '80s (an awkward family viewing experience :-[).
It's a great visual film, much like Bram Stoker's Dracula, in that it's a feast for the eyes but a bit rickety in the story department. Reading the Wikipedia entry for it, one critic cited the "preposterously happy ending" as a major fault, and it is quite an upbeat ending for such a dark story.
Overall, though, I'd certainly recommend it. Shockingly, it doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere. :-\

I'm guessing that critic wasn't a big bibliophile. :-\
(Hey
@Mandle, your turn.)
Imo it's Sean Connery's best role.
(second would be in The Man who would be King)
Oh shit! Didn't notice I'd won this one! It was a shot in the dark.
Will post new image soon!

I think that screenshot gave out the answer immediately, even though I've never watched the film.
That has to be the most iconic scene of the whole film, not an obscure one, right?

I can't think of anything, so someone please take my turn!
Well, it was a good try, LF, but I don't think people quite grasped what you were trying to do.
I will give it another shot, from the last movie I watched in the cinema:
(https://i.imgur.com/pAydUBc.jpg)
(It is not a recent film—I was incensed when a colleague of mine called The Silence of the Lambs a "really, really old movie," and this is contemporary with that—but an arthouse film that has recently been restored/remastered and re-released.)
Quote from: Snarky on Thu 09/03/2023 13:02:46Well, it was a good try, LF, but I don't think people quite grasped what you were trying to do.
Indeed. Best to just move on and pretend it never happened...but thanks for noticing. (nod)
Quote from: Snarky on Thu 09/03/2023 13:02:46(-I was incensed when a colleague of mine called The Silence of the Lambs a "really, really old movie-)
Silence of the Lambs isn't even old, it's just not
current. A bit like me.
But "really,
really, old"? I'd reserve that for a shot of a train pulling into La Ciotat (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L%27Arriv%C3%A9e_d%27un_train_en_gare_de_La_Ciotat&useskin=vector) station.
Yeah, the perils of working with people younger than yourself. My counter-argument was "It stars Anthony Hopkins, and he's still a contemporary actor!"—though one could also say that about Clint Eastwood and Francis in the Navy (1955). (Well, not stars.)
I guess I would draw the line for "really old" between the Hollywood studio system era (Golden Age) and the New Hollywood that followed, so sometime in the 1960s. Films before that time generally feel dated in a way that e.g. The Godfather does not, and about this time you start getting movies by filmmakers that are still active today, as well as big franchises that are still running, such as James Bond and (a little later) Star Wars. "Really, really old" would have to be black and white or pre-war, if not silent.
Anyway...

As a tip, this actress had to be dubbed for half the movie.
She looks like french actress Sophie Marceau...
_
No, it's not Sophie Marceau, but you've given me an idea. I'm leaning towards a Krzysztof Kieslowski film...
Quote from: TheFrighter on Sat 11/03/2023 08:40:03She looks like french actress
She is, though it's not Marceau. She is dubbed into Polish for the first half of the film.
Quote from: LimpingFish on Sun 12/03/2023 01:24:58I'm leaning towards a Krzysztof Kieslowski film...
You're not wrong. (And since it's not so fun for others to try to work it out after you've clearly got it and all but named it, I would suggest you just go ahead and say.)
(https://i.imgur.com/bYCKi5o.jpg)
Aw, I left it a few days to see if anyone would get in ahead of me, but no...
Anyway, I think the answer is Three Colors: Red.
I say "think" because I've never seen any of the Three Colors films in their entirety, catching bits and pieces of them on TV over the years. But I recognize the lead actress, and I also know that the lead actresses in White and Blue are not her, because my brain has the annoying habit of storing random bits of information about random movies I may have glimpsed at random times throughout my life.
Which is why I kinda resent the IMDB...it's rendered my one "worthwhile" ability obsolete. :(
Oh wow, shock twist! You're... wrong.
Sure enough, you have the right director and the right actress; she was in Three Colors: Red, but this is the first movie she did with Kieslowski.
(https://i.imgur.com/HYoQeux.jpg)
Could we get another pic?
I thought if people didn't get it from the pictures and info so far, they wouldn't get it at all, but in the interest of trying to kick this activity off again...
(https://i.imgur.com/uviRACM.jpg)
(If people still don't get it in a couple of days, I'll just give the answer and someone else can post something.)
Edit: All right, no takers, I guess. It was The Double Life of Véronique by Krzysztof Kieslowski, starring Irène Jacob.
I didn't recogognize it at all! :-[
Well, I suppose the slot is free...
The title is very easy, so add the name of director!

It's the old Willy Wonka movie, right? (I didn't know the director; apparently it's Mel Stuart.)
If that's correct, I'm not gonna post another film. There doesn't seem to be enough people interested in playing this forum game any more, so it might be time to close it down. But if anyone else does want to pick it up, feel free.
... Actually, I'm having second thoughts about this guess. I thought the guy in the schoolboy uniform was August Gloop, but it doesn't seem to be him after all.
Is it Popeye? That was a famous director... Coppola?
Quote from: Snarky on Sat 07/10/2023 13:08:35Is it Popeye?
Once you mentioned it, I am pretty sure this must be right. Never seen it, but have seen the poster. Perhaps I bought the soundtrack back in my vinyl collection days.
Indeed is
Robert Altman's
Popeye, the infamous 1980 live adaption! (and the only since now)
Honestly is a good movie, but the makeover on Robin Williams is unwatchable!
