Correct. You can also see the MacGuffin in this shot.

That was a fantastic choice of screenshot. I love that move. LOVE it! And have seen it a number of times (and possibly should add it to the "Never get tired of" thread.)

But I'm not sure I would have figured it out. Certainly not right away. The black and white threw me.

Children of the Corn?

Sorry for the delay.... another reason I rarely try to post these anymore... too many distractions. Not Children of the Corn.

Nice!

I would have used this, but it doesn't really stand on it's own as a funny gif.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 6:49 pm

I've never seen it. Is it worth it? (Assuming that I won't go out of my way.)

I've seen it but the name escapes me at the moment. I want to say Broken City but I'm pretty sure that was a different movie.

Broken City was the cop taking down the crooked mayor one. I think I actually used it not long ago.

I don't know what this one is. Pretty sure that I haven't seen it. I can only think of a couple heist type movies set in Europe (could be way off base, that was from the initial screenshot clues), but this doesn't look like any of those.

Cheated, because I know I haven't seen it. I'm eager to hear if it's worthy or not. I'm looking for new stuff to see.

JSHAW · Post by **JSHAW** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 10:05 pm

I cheated too, never saw it, never heard of it, never saw it advertised as being in movie theaters.

When did movies slip under the radar, get in a theater, and out as fast as it came in?

It's almost like they're trying to see how fast they can get in and out without getting caught, like
they're stealing your ticket buying money without getting caught for being a crappy movie.

Since everyone is cheating here's the giveaway shot.

tgb · Post by **tgb** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 11:56 pm

I was going to be my usual wise-ass self by posting Midnight Run in Swedish, but 3 different translation websites say that Midnight Run in Swedish is Midnight Run.

So....Midnight Run?

Hint: there are words in that last shot.

Yes, yes it is. It pretty much spells it out.

Only if you have heard of the movie. Otherwise there is nothing in that shot that gives it away. Unless the title is Kidnapping Heineken.

JetFred · Post by **JetFred** » Fri Aug 07, 2015 12:21 am

It very nearly is. I cheated too.

I'd say yes. Some of the jokes fell flat, but many of them were funny as hell. And this is coming from somebody who thought the SNL skit was only ok.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:02 pm

So I guess that means that I win by default. And I can now agree that the screenshot was a give-away.

Since I don't feel like working anyway, give me a minute to think of a movie to use.

Most of my movie watching lately has been movies that are way too distinctive. I'd like to be able to provide a little challenge.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:07 pm

This might be easy. Definitely will be if I have to post more of than a couple of screenshots.

Just for nasai. This was as close as I could get from the images available on blu-ray.com.

I do too, now, but since the only reason I do is nasai's spoiler, I'll demur.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 3:21 pm

Which is funny, because I don't even remember the scene he is talking about. I know I've seen some of the movie, but now I'm wondering if I ever actually watched the entire thing.
