Guess The Screenshot (Mobile Data Unfriendly)

Darkglasses

I'll do a few, some are harder than others! Think hard about the first one, it's a memorable scene from a director who's on the news and tv lately...

5. Disco Pigs with that gorgeous actress Elaine Cassidy

Sweet sixteen.

Darkglasses

All correct. Purple tin, it is naked gun. CastorTRoy, it is ringu. Just number 3 left

Couple of clues:
1. 70s film starring a future double Oscar winner
2. Also a 70s film with a soundtrack from a much loved Canadian singer

I'll give a clue, it's an early film by a now fairly well-known director. He's very bald and very English.

Need an extra clue?

This character's name is Fag-ash.

1. Little Big Man

Zeek 12, No. 8 is McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

Ryaller

Darkglasses: Twenty Four Seven by the very bald and very English Shane Meadows.

Correct

Also correct.

Well done both.

Darkglasses

Ok, here's the next round! I'm not sure if number 5 is too easy or too hard...There is a dead giveaway and it was a very popular film.

5.

DeepBlue

Probably wrong but.....
2. Man on Wire?

tricky D

1 is THX 1183

Darkglasses

Deepblue - You are 100% right! Philippe Petit looking beautiful there. It was a challenge to find a screenshot that wasn't too easy or too hard.

tricky d -It is THX 1138, well spotted. Again, 99% of this film would be very, very easy to recognise.

These three left

tricky D

5 12 Monkeys???

DeepBlue

5. A bit of a wild guess - District 9?

Darkglasses

Both wrong, but DeepBlue is closer.

For 5. the squiggle on the sign is significant, isn't it?
It seems familiar but I can't quite place it.

Yes that's the big hint! Think hard and you'll get it!

It's very mainstream, not a typical film for this thread.

Nope! Keep thinking though!

I'll post some clues tomorrow afternoon for whatever films are left.

Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation

Yes, excellent!

Just 3 and 4 left now.

Darkglasses

Ok, clues! 3 is entirely in Spanish (but hugely popular) and 4 is partly in English and partly in Spanish.

Zeek12

Is 3. The Orphanage (El orfanato) ?

Darkglasses

Correct!!

So the last one is 4. A sports film.

Cool Running

5 is lightsleeper.

Nope! Don't think there's much Spanish in Cool Runnings..

Right, sports film partly in Spanish based in the USA and Dominica. You can probably guess the sport from that.

4.

DeepBlue

Hoop Dreams?

Yes, well spotted. Its a young Sam Rockwell in Light Sleeper


ASJ112: Nope, sorry. That's not right for no.1

delbertgrady

The Daniel Craig one is Dream House. I didn't see it. I don't think anyone else did either.

NothingMan

Number 2 is wrecking my head. I am pretty sure it's John Cusack and I know the other but am drawing a blank on anything he was in. I think he looks like the guy from Oz, Said, but googling "Eamonn Walker totally looks like" gave me nothing.

Its not John Cusack on the left, its an older actor.

McSasquatch

Harvey Keitel isn't it?

Harvey Keitel and Keith David in Clockers I think.

Nope, it's an older movie.
Good guess though.

Not Hoop Dreams. It's a Baseball film.

4 looks like Kirk Douglas being a writer, is it Ace In The Hole?

It sure is, well done.

Just these two left, a couple of clues:

#3 This was not the first collaboration between Newman and this Director.
#6 is a cult road movie of sorts.

Bingo! One of my favourite films. I thought people would pick up on what they were eating if they'd seen it before.
