Guess the movie!

[kanafani]

How it's played: Someone posts a movie still. First one gets it right posts the next still.

The Rules:

• No hints, EVER!!
• If you post a still and nobody guesses the movie within a day, you can post another still from the same movie.

Inaugural still. I'm sure one of you freaks will get it within five minutes:

[sally]

man in the white suit?

[kanafani]

Yes indeed! What took you so long?

Your turn.

[sally]

sorry, only had a chance to look at it now.

what's the max file size for attaching pics? anyway forgot how hard this was, choosing a film that some people will have seen...

[kanafani]

I’ve forgotten how much I suck at this. Give us another still, plz?

[sally]

sorry been travelling! also, it's hard to guess what other people will/won't know - to me that pic seems glaringly obvious. i'll post one more before i hit the 'guess the director even if you've never seen that particular film' shots.

[Umbugbene]

It looks vaguely like a Roy Andersson, but I doubt that's right.

[Silga]

For a moment I thought about Manoel de Oliveira, but I'm not sure..

[Lencho of the Apes]

My first thought was Frankenstein Created Woman, but no. Could it however be Island Of The Burning Damned?

[thoxans]

i never was good at this...

[kanafani]

Ugh I don’t think i’ve seen this one. Magpies, is there an even more glaringly obvious pic?

[sally]

well, unless you were sleep-rating on letterboxd, then yes, you've seen it..

[kanafani]

Oh oh. I thought I got a Ruiz vibe. Night across the street?

[sally]

yeah!

[kanafani]

You know, I really disliked that one and remember hate-watching it. Maybe that’s why the stills did not ring a bell. Must have repressed the images. Is it blasphemous to say that I often find Ruiz tedious? Sometimes he’s wonderful and magical and everything clicks, other times he’s just too damn pleased with his own sophistication and erudition. Anyway... i’ll Work on a still.

[sally]

you don't have to like the film you post stills from, do you? i only chose to post that one, not even because ruiz is pretty recognisable, but purely because i'd bought a jean giono book that day and he's in the first still i posted. if i'd had croesus i'd have posted a still from that....

The Terrorizers?

[kanafani]

The Terrorizers?

Nope.

[kanafani]

you don't have to like the film you post stills from, do you?

sorry, was not criticizing your choice, just expressing my opinion on the movie.

[kanafani]

Yes sir!

Your turn, Augusto.

[augusto]

Looks like a movie from HK (or maybe Taiwan) from the 80’s. Looks familiar, but I have no clue.

Augusto we need another still.

[Curtis, baby]

I was gonna say it had a Tsai Ming-Liang vibe to ne

[augusto]

this is the only other still i have to hand (though can find others if needed). not tsai, though taiwan (from the 90's) is right...
