Ok here's a classic "non-obscure non-foreign" film - just for the likes of you Syzygy! :wink:

Yeah, we have a winner! - (at long last!)

So you're up Syzygy!

Wasn't Shirley Temple in that movie?

Not unless she came out of retirement and had major plastic surgery to look like a Chinese woman to do it! :lol:

This rather disturbing thriller was made in Hong Kong in 2004 under the title Gaau Ji and went on general release in the uk in 2006. I won't spoil the movie by giving away the plotline, but let's just say that once you've seen it, you probably won't look at chinese dumplings in quite the same way again!

Hmm. I'd never heard of Dumplings. Interesting. I've added it to my Blockbuster list.

As for the latest screenshot, I'm going to completely guess An American Werewolf in London, just because that's the Tube in the picture.

A shortened version of the film also forms part two the Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) trilogy along with , "Cut" directed by Park Chan-Wook of Korea and "Box" directed by Miike Takashi of Japan. Haven't seen this version, but the full length feature is definitely worth a look.

Yep, you got it!

Lol, thanks. But I see Stopper beat me to it. :lol:

Well, that came as a surprise, or else I might have checked to see if I had it right before I went to bed last night....

I'm not going to have time to get a picture and post it and all that palavar until much later today, so if anyone else fancies putting a screenshot up before then, go ahead.

Nope.
(its not as old as that)

If it's not old, might be Pi... Though the main actor looks different there

heavycola · Post by **heavycola** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 4:47 pm

it's Pi

flashleg8 · Post by **flashleg8** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:13 am

It is indeed Pi.

Well done Ga7.

Is that the original film version of Lord of the Flies?

ga7 · Post by **ga7** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 1:30 pm

Nope. Hint: Japanese, 1989.

Stopper · Post by **Stopper** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:04 am

Is it Tetsuo? If it is, I gotta admit I cheated and used IMDB - it didn't seem like anyone was going to get it.
