Yes!   A somewhat underrated movie with some good chase scenes in it.   The main actor, Ryan O’Neal, sadly passed away just a few days ago.

f*ck I mixed up Subway and Driver, knew it was Isabelle Adjani gg Grav.

[Graven]

@Blaze you weren't the only one. The subway screen got me thinking about Possession without taking a closer look.

I'm wondering if that was intentional because of my Sam Neill avatar from the movie    Posting screen later.

If I'm not mistaken that's Legionnaire, typical straight to video Van Damme bullsh*t from the dwindling end of his 90s output. Whilst it's not the most amazing thing he's starred in I thought it was decent and always found it a bit curious that Legionnaire was nestled inbetween two objectively terrible movies (Double Team in 97 and Universal Soldier in 99) though fwiw I have nothing against straight to video releases and enjoy a metric sh*t ton of them, Double Team included. Really enjoying this thread as it's digging up a lot of movies in my mind that I haven't watched in a good 10+ years, and will definitely rewatch to kill time over the festive period

The Substitute

Nope, that'd be a ballsy move doing the same movie twice in a row. If nobody gets it in 12h I'll pass the turn

I disqualified myself to answer this one so I'm not gonna post the title, but it drove me crazy trying to figure it out so I had to look it up .   Only seen half of that movie a very long time ago,  but it was pretty good from what I remember.  And that actress was VERY good.

Yeah, I thought it would've been easier to guess but clearly I was wrong, movie above is Sliver from 1993. I think it was considered a flop commercially due to it coming off the back of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and William Baldwin in Backdraft which set expectations high, whereas Sliver ended up taking what was a good novel/source material, not really developing the plot or fleshing out any of the characters and then just attempted to capitalize on Sharon Stone's sexuality. Great soundtrack though.

 

Free turn :)

Dammit, good play. I have Sliver (Paramount DVD) but it's so long time since I've seen it. There sure was a vogue of erotic thrillers after Basic Instinct.

If no one else wants to take the free turn I'll post something in the evening local time.

[Vanto]

I'll take the turn if you don't mind. Saw this film yesterday and it was pretty cool.

By the lack of guesses, I'm assuming nobody has any idea which film this is. If nobody guesses from this last screenshot I'll pass too.

The Quiet Earth

[Vanto]

Correct!

Can't call this movie a success, but I think it had some funny moments.

 

 

[Absurdity]

Is it Kull the Conqueror? 

 

Feels poor form to steal one of the back of Magic's guess. 

 

Think it was supposed to be Arnold reprising the role of Conan, but due to complications he turned it down and the character was changed to Kull after Kevin Sorbo accepted.
