[Aragorn]

Taken?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Taken?

No, try again.

 

[Starkers]

[Zulu Romeo]

Quntum of Solace?

Sorry, it's not Quantum of Solace. Have another go.

 

[Aragorn]

Ronin

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Ronin

Sorry, it's not Ronin either.


Just to make things a little easier, here's another screencap from the same film. (Not that it makes it any easier to guess...)

 

[sojourner]

Think it's time for the "hit us over the head" clue.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Think it's time for the "hit us over the head" clue.

OK, a written clue:
This particular film was much talked-about at the time.

 

[Starkers]

Never actually seen it but...

Crash?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Never actually seen it but...

Crash?

I'm not sure if you mean either the David Cronenberg adaptation of the JG Ballard novel, or the Best Picture Oscar winner of recent years. Unfortunately, it's neither, although you were closer if you meant the Cronenberg film.

Hint 2: it's not a Cronenberg film.

 

[Aragorn]

The French Connection?
Bullitt?
The Seven Ups?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

The French Connection?
Bullitt?
The Seven Ups?

Sadly, none of these.

Hint 3: when people think of this particular film, the screenshots I've posted are usually definitely NOT the first thing that comes to mind.

I did mean Cronenberg

Wild stab in the dark, Natural Born Killers?

 

[Aragorn]

Basic Instinct?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Basic Instinct?

Correct. It's Basic Instinct.

Your turn!

 

[Aragorn]

Really? I just pulled that movie title out of the air.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Really? I just pulled that movie title out of the air.

Well, I couldn't exactly post many of the film's scenes in this thread... Although the first picture did depict a scene with plot development...

 

[Aragorn]

 

[John Clark]

It's not Whiteout is it?

 

[Aragorn]

Damnit. I figured no one even watched that movie.

Your turn.
