Thanks. Let's try this one:

Afghanistan... Canadian uniforms... Is it Hyena Road?

I've heard of it, but haven't seen it.

It looks like it's available on TMN, so I've tagged it to be viewed Real Soon Now®.

There will be a short intermission while I try to think of something worthy. If anyone has something good lined up that they want to run with, feel free to jump to the head of the line.

Jump in the line, rock your body in time. OK, I believe you!

I don't remember American football players in Mary Poppins...

Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejui...

Edit: And this is not a guess for the Not the Name that Movie entry.

Okay, let's see if this one goes anywhere...

Looks familiar but I can't say for sure.

Miller's Crossing?

Correct!

I did a search to see if it had been used before, but not until after I posted the shot, and it turns out to be quite popular in these parts (for good reason). C'est la vie.

tgb · Post by **tgb** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 11:43 pm

After I posted I took another look and realized I was right.

I was too easy on you guys earlier. Let's step it up a bit, shall we?

If you can name the lead actor it should be a pretty big clue.

Here's another:

Is that "High and Low"?

It is indeed.

Known for his historical epics, director Akira Kurosawa was also a fan of American film noir and detective novels -- which explains why he based High and Low (also known as Heaven and Hell) on an Ed McBain story. Toshirô Mifune plays a wealthy corporate boss who must choose between saving his company and paying the ransom for his chauffeur's kidnapped child.

Reminds me of the Edward Scissorhands neighborhood but I'm almost positive it's not.

Looks a bit like Pleasantville to me.

Imitation Game?

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Fri Aug 19, 2016 12:53 pm

Nope, not that either.
Here's another pic. I like this one because I actually know the extra sitting behind the main female character.

Yes, he does. Doesn't he?

Max - is it safe to assume that was your guess (your comment about a serious man)?

Max Peck · Post by **Max Peck** » Sat Aug 20, 2016 12:39 pm

Bad Demographic wrote:Max - is it safe to assume that was your guess (your comment about a serious man)?

Yes, it was a guess (from a totally nonserious man). I wasn't eager to dig up another movie (my picks always seem too easy or too obscure), so I thought I'd leave it open to interpretation if you wanted to keep going. But I suspect the jig is up now.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Sat Aug 20, 2016 12:53 pm

Yes, the jig is up. And you are right, it's "A Serious Man".

In the picture of the couple in the synagogue, the guy sitting behind the wife is a guy I used to work with. He and his family were extras in the movie. I didn't know that so I was surprised to see him. I had to stop and back up the scene to double check. And to be certain, the next time I saw him I asked.

Since the best movies always have a lovely lady in the cast, let's get that out of the way right off the bat.

I think I saw that recently. Did it have James Coburn as Chisum? (Because Chisum is the bad guy in every western).

Not that I remember.....Costner and Duvall.

Except the ones where Chisum is played by John Wayne, such as Chisum, for example.

And yes, the movie in question is Open Range. If nasai doesn't want to go a round, then anyone else can step up.

So.... The Purge?
