It's one that I'd guess not more than two people here had seen, but... A Change Of Habit?

That is it! I figured not many had seen it, but it was known enough in some weird sense that it could be guessed. I was going to go with some more obvious shots next in case that one didn't work.

It's an odd little movie, not good, but the director is actually trying to do something, just doesn't quite know how to do it very well. Like in this next still where he uses that ugly little set up with the broom to purposefully divide the one would-be nun, who drops out, from the other two who stick with it. There's a number of nutty little things like that which is why I screencapped it.

Actually I cheated. The film's title is printed in the upper right corner :frog: Feel free to go again if you like.

Um, you realize it was for that exact reason that I posted that still, right?

Okay, I suspected you might have been looking for a quick exit ;)

Darn it, I have a huge collection of movie stills that I worked hard for, but they're all on a separate drive right now. I'll let someone else go... maybe WBA coz he had the same thought?

nope, sorry, I have a lot of films extensively screencapped, but the best known of those is another obscure George Sherman western, which I doubt anyone here has seen.
And I unfortunately don't have the time to screencap something extra for this game (I'm usually posting from work...). :cry:

Nice guess... Doulos is also a stylish movie. Here's an easier one:

Uggh, I forgot about that title... but yes, that's what they usually call Les félins in English. Your turn.

Here's one more with Jane Fonda:

Mine too... hard to believe so few have seen it. I think the DVD's out of print; lucky I have a copy.

As a hint, there's a funny coincidence with a new thread that correlates to this movie.

All the dark screens threw me off big time but there's no mistaking that road from the end of the movie

Nice! 8-) Agreed, those closing scenes are hard to forget. Your turn. Here's the remaining ones I would have posted, intentionally obscure.
