Guess the movie from the still

[cactus.]

@Gronf,

I know exactly which scene you're talking about. "They're eating her, and then they're gonna eat me, oh my gaaawd!" I was waiting for someone to mention that close but no cigar just yet.

 

It's become a cult classic and here's a couple more stills:

Don't cheat and quote my post then. It shouldn't matter if the title is in the picture. I guess people around here probably aren't above cheating though.

Whos turn is it now anyway?

No idea. I don't see any pictures after mine so...

[AH64Hunter]

Here's a picture, I'm going to upload to imgur from now on.

[Andy...]

Young Frankenstein?

[AH64Hunter]

Indeed it is.

Don't know what it is but it looks badass.

Dario Argento's Suspiria. One of my favourite Giallo films.

 

To help you along as this may be quite (or very) obscure to some, here are three screenshots from the beginning, middle, and end segments of the film.

Could it be Drunken Angel?

Good guess, but no it isn't Drunken Angel.

[JoeyLeone25]

I'm not particularly fond of double posting, but seeing as the activity in here has died down, I'll give you another clue (if you were expecting another screenshot, shame on you, there's THREE on the previous page). brownbear was incredibly close with Drunken Angel, but he ever so slightly strayed away from the actual title of the film.

I can't see any picture?

I'm just taking random stabs in the dark here. Stay Dog?

My bad I missed that part.

 

If it's in black and white I'm out anyway.

You've never seen a black and white movie?

 

I think Otter meant Stray Dog.

No I've seen them, I just don't remember them as easy for some reason. Most of these black and white movies being posted I have no clue. Anything earlier than 1970, and I'll probably be in the dark.

You and Pico should get together for drinks.

Bring your boyfriend. We'll have a double date.

[Voodoo]

You just completely missed the reference, there. It's OK.

 

 

[Lithium]

I know what you were saying, you don't give me enough credit Voodoo.

[Voodoo]

Alright then, how about the four of us catch a noir festival? I'll buy the popcorn.

 

 

[Lithium]

I'm game for that. I don't watch many black and white films, doesn't mean I wouldn't.

Correct my friend, I hope my poorly crafted subtle message ('he ever so slightly strayed') had some effect as I couldn't think of anything else to use that wouldn't just blatantly give the film away ('loss of gun plot', 'baseball segment', 'Mifune', 'Shumura', 'Kurosawa', 'Occupied-Japan' etc).

 

Fun Fact of the Day: Kurosawa originally wrote Stray Dog as a novel due to hearing a story about a local police detective who lost his pistol during a routine stop (he was also a huge fan of crime writer Georges Simenon). After this he decided it would work better as a film, and developed the screenplay from his novel which remains unpublished to this day.

 

Also, the opening credit sequence shows a dog panting in the sun, and an American woman accused him of injecting the dog with rabies and in his autobiography he writes about his strong sense of dissapointment and disgust at this allegation; “Because the Japanese were barbarians, injecting a dog with rabies was just the sort of thing we would do, and she had no time for the truth...In the end I was forced to write a deposition, and I never at any other moment experience a stronger sense of regret over Japan’s losing the war.”

 

(Oh, yea, I'm a Kurosawa-phile).
