*Guess the Movie Title*

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:

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...

Is it Compartiment Tueurs? (Which I guess translates roughly as Compartment Killers.)

Snarky · Thu 11/07/2013 23:26:24

Thank you!

The English title is The Sleeping Car Murders, but I think it's mostly known by its original title.

Ben X · Sat 13/07/2013 10:50:54

Well, that's certainly what I know it by.

Ben X · Sat 13/07/2013 10:58:50

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:

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!

Ben X · Mon 15/07/2013 20:34:41

Correct, Eric!

Eric · Mon 15/07/2013 23:06:37

Pretty clear connection between this film and the last one.

Ben X · Sun 21/07/2013 11:09:54

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?

Ilyich · Sun 21/07/2013 11:32:16

Wait, isn't this from "The Big Sleep"? And the connection is ~~Ben~~ Raymond Chandler, then?

Eric · Sun 21/07/2013 19:19:16

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.

Ilyich · Mon 22/07/2013 02:22:37

Okay, here we go! No connection to the previous screen intended, although it's clearly there.

selmiak · Mon 22/07/2013 18:53:23

never seen this scene in the film, but something makes me think fight club...

CaptainD · Mon 22/07/2013 19:06:32

Rear Window?

Ponch · Mon 22/07/2013 22:52:55

Chariots Of Fire II: The Elderly Years?
~~Blade~~ Wheel Runner?

miguel · Tue 23/07/2013 00:53:18

Tron?

Tron?

If there were light cycle beams coming off that wheelchair, then it would be the greatest movie of all time!

Ilyich · Tue 23/07/2013 08:02:20

None of the above. And no, sadly, there are no light cycle beams in this movie. I wish there were now.

Here's another screen:
