Ooh! ooh! The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover

BANG!

"Cannibal."

Do we have to get the other now? I could probably find it later on.

Aye, it is TCTTHWAHL.
The other was The Draughstman's Contract. A top-5 film.

F***in' Jesus, I bloody knew that was Janet Suzman in the picture, but I couldn't see a likely candidate in her surprisingly short film CV.

OK, here's one. It's another British one. If no-one gets it by the time I get up early tomorrow morning, I will post another pic, which will actually present the literal title of the film in the picture. So anyone seeing it should definitely have a go.

I can't believe I missed the two Greenaway films!

Anyway, that's Double Indemnity

Good guess, but no.

The seventh seal?

(you can probably hear the mental cogs going here..)

No, not that one, although this is a foreign film too.

Funny I can't picture scenes form The Seventh Seal without thinking of the French & Saunders spoof they did of it - same goes for Misery and The Exorcist - Damn them!

Ok, here's another shot from the same film:

Battleship Potemkin? If that's right (I'm not certain), then that first crucifix picture threw me well off the scent - a crucifix given so much prominence in a Soviet propaganda film? Curious. I can't remember it, I must say.

I will stop talking now, in case I am wrong, and thus have rendered everything I have said pointless.

Ha ha my cunning ploy worked then! :wink:

But as strange as it may seem, it did appear in said film - just before the famous scene of the massacre on the Odessa steps.

So your go comrade!

OK, continuing on a similar theme:

Just google it. I do. Although, I assume you actually know something about the movie, in order to be able to google it...

Birth Of Our Nation?

Birth Of A Nation, to be more precise, but you've got it!

When I said a similar theme, BTW, I mean as in "political propaganda", and not that Birth Of A Nation has similar politics to Battleship Potemkin, in case I've puzzled anyone...
