geetee, that looks so familiar, any clues or a bigger pic?
Titanic? 😉
Torm - that's Battleship Potemkin
EDIT: that [i]was[/i] Battleship Potemkin... where's it gone?
LOL at Torm.
I was just googling 'Battleship Potempkin' myself.
Damn you Eviljoe! You clearly stayed awake during the German Neo Expressionism lecture!
EDIT - I hate you all! 👿
Just walking the dog and realised this is

Jacob's ladder
EDIT: ****, I see reading back a page.. it's already been discovered, Doh!
Edit 2: ron jeremy, Callous had already got it earlier, but yep fantastic movie and the sound track is great too.
Battleship Potemkin above?
that was Battleship Potemkin... where's it gone?
I realised answer was in the URL so went to find a better pic.

Aha! Now see I got that one completely off my own back!
Mine was indeed The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Very.
The one and only book where I have read the last few lines and stopped in my tracks...

Funny, did the same to me. Sticks in you like a knife. Interestingly, the last lines are supposed to represent humanity and hope. It didn't feel like anything other than piteous desperation to me.
Portly one- Cube?
Damn you Eviljoe! You clearly stayed awake during the German Neo Expressionism lecture!
And now finally I know why.
Sorry all, had to take a phone call, so missed Battleship Potempkin...
Still no one got this?

OK, still art house but a little more action in this one:

Guessing is one thing, but there are multiple films it could be so points will only be awarded if you truly know which one it is.
'The Cars That Ate Paris' I reckon but not sure...
[img] 
[/img]
Geetee- The Hidden Fortress?
Nice one Torminalis 😀
Eviljoe - like I said, was always going to be easy to guess, but no. It's one of his other ones.
bedsittingroom
I am guessing Kurosawa, pre 1970, hmnn.. which one...

bedsittingroom indeed 😀
mrsconsequence didnt understand it 😆

To me it represented the indefatigability of life and the ability to adjust to circumstances. In a way the story is very similar to Midnight Express in that the characters continue to adapt to the ever-decreasing circle that is their situation (although with more hope than (Michael?) in the latter).
bedsittingroom indeedmrsconsequence didnt understand it
Wasn't it about a post nuclear world where the main character mutates into a bed sitting room?
I am guessing Kurosawa, pre 1970, hmnn.. which one...
The one that's been remade at least three times since...
Yojimbo?
Too easy for you really isn't it?
French new wave?
[img] 
[/img]
It's gotta be Yojimbo or Seven Samuri then.. I think... dunno in truth.
In that case, is it Yojimbo? I know its been redone a few times....
How about this

What no beer: Double Indemnity
Whatnobeer- Double Indemnity?
Au Bout de Souffle? Breathless?
Last guess- I have to go to the theatre now.. 🙂
No Evil was, as usual, right. It is Yojimbo.
I haven't seen it but I'm going to guess that whatnobeer's film is the one made about Toshiro Mifune's life?
Evil - you're now barred from the contest. Yes it was Breathless.
Is there any film you haven't seen?
French new wave?
I thought it was Une Femme est une Femme at first, but its in colour. So Breathless?
oh and now the Truffant comes out... bloody hell...

I have to go home now and I am actually quite dissapointed... cracking thread.

Sorry, try again.
And yep, the previous one was indeed Double Indemnity.

It's more fun setting the questions than answering them.
😳
cant help but think we're alienating the average STW reader.... xmas films and cult classics fo teh winz (and so i can start guessing again)
and another idea, this might be better next week if stipulated at the beginning of the thread, could be to put our own rating out of ten. good way of reccomending good films but without having to give the plot away 😀
Sorry, try again.
Whatever it is, looks like he's suffering from a hair trigger! 😆
cant help but think we're alienating the average STW reader
It's Evil's fault. He's too good.
Evil: Yep, Cube. Mine have all been pretty easy, I just like those films
ai no corrida?
ai no corrida?
Correct, wasnt expecting the original title, so bonus points for that 😛
I have another Asian one for you (and only because this is a great film)
[img] 
[/img]
Geetee, I'm not [i]best on[/i] these ones, I think I have [i]sum way[/i] to go to catch up
[img] 
[/img]
And geetee that is not Asian, It's a film set in Newcastle.
Howay man woman man!
Charlie not sure what you mean but I think you've got the film.
i got both of them fellla
No cheating now...

La cabina.
Have you seen it Don? A great film. Terrified me when I saw it aged about 10.
No, I recognised the picture. An old Spanish film, the title being a bit of a give away, no?
How's the little 'un?
geetee's one at the top is (better known for Highlander methinks) Christophe Lambert in 'Subway'. Features Jean Reno on incredibly bad drums, fact fans. I know I haven't got a clue about the last one but since no one else named Subway, I think I still deserve a go:
Also features Jean Reno (but not in this picture of course):

Le Dernier Combat
No, I recognised the picture. An old Spanish film, the title being a bit of a give away, no?
How's the little 'un?
She is fine at the moment - the sweat test postponed until next week (due to another simple op that we had to get done). I keep swinging from blind panic to thinking it is all in my head and she is perfectly fine. Thanks for asking though 🙂
Oh and Torminalis' one on the last page is Nuts in May, n'est-ce pas?
geetee1972 - MemberCatch 22
Nope. Saying it is both directed by Luc Besson and features Jean Reno doesn't really narrow it down that much does it? Joined at the hip in the 80's, them two. 😆
geetee1972 - MemberLe Dernier Combat.
Good edit and correct! 😀
A personal favourite of mine.

Resilient little buggers though, but I guess not a good time of year either for all of this, as you say she'll be fine.

Oldie but goodie - inspiration for endurance athletes
Boxeder - the searchers?
Here is a blinder of a film

How can you sa Subway was better than Highlander??
Your clearly wrong!!
Still stuck on Don Simon's, but Grantway's up there is the lovely Cinema Paradiso.
This might be my favourite ever film:
[img] 
[/img]
Bonus points if you can name the car too!
Boxeder - the searchers?
No
Cinema Paradiso - fantastico
[img] 
[/img]
ace film if only for all the cameo roles in it
Don't know the car one but Tazzy, that looks a lot like Carl McCoy in Hardware.
slainte 😀 rob
Evil - you're now barred from the contest. Yes it was Breathless.
meh, I was only playing with you anyway....
Is there any film you haven't seen?
Yes. One.
Titanic.
Because I know what happens at the end.
I just watched this and wished I hadnt!!

julian wilson,
is that Get Carter?
is that Get Carter?
I wouldn't have thought so, French plates by the look.
Top film Hardware.Got the 2000ad future shock it's based on and who wouldn't get in a taxi with Lemmy?
PIL and Gwar on the soundtrack.
Current issue dvd has some good extras with a short called children of the moon,a documentary about the Soviet rout in Afghanistan 20 something years ago.
It's Friday. Time to resurrect the thread. Here's one in the 'Dave Bromance' stylee, which is an absolutely brilliant 'coming of age' film.

Nobtwidler, what's the film. It's very familiar (British 1970s from the image) but I can't guess what it is.
Restless Natives 1985(?) with a fantastic soundtrack!
Y Tu Mama Tambien.
Your mum confirmed that as well. 😉
