Guess the Movie

[Griffin NoName]

Well Swato didn't like my reference to chess so I imagine it's not the most obvious Scandinavian movie. If it is I reserve the right to KILL Swato.

[Darlica]

Nah, it's not The Seventh Seal, I know that one, and Swato said it wasn't a Bergman movie.

[Griffin NoName]

It didn't look like it to me, at least none of the earlier pics, but the later ones made me wonder if my memory is as bad as I know it is.... like I don't remember him saying it wasn't Bergman   Next movie could be a series of snapshots of the missing parts of my brain Hey, how long does it take to get to the point where one no longer remembers one's memory is failing?

[Swatopluk]

My money is on Bergman being influenced by this movie for the 7th Seal (or was it the 6th walrus? )
I could have used some shots that look virtually identical.
I have to admit though that I didn't recognize the chess allusion above

Satan is returning
For you he's come
With eyes red-hot burning
Beating the drum
Woe, woe, straight to hell you'll go
Yes, his presence is unpleasant
Oh that sulph'rous smell
You won't get salvation
But go down to hell

This is confusing.

The last few pictures could be something out of an early production of "Dante's the divine comedy"/ "Dante's inferno" but I'm not sure if that goes so well with the first pictures...

And I can't find a Scandinavian "Faust" either... But I'm on track I can smell the sulphur...

The Tales of Hoffman?
But I can't find any film references to that one pre 1951 and that one is American and in colour...

Time's up, Miss Ophelia. The correct answer was: The Devil in the convent with the big club.*

I am a great player of Whack-a-Nun

*To avoid confusion: That is not the title of the movie and the guessing game is still on.
No excuses for obscurity, the movie is available in both Region 1&2 on DVD
And I repeat, there is no actual character named Ophelia in the movie.

It's not Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages is it?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I can tell that it isn't a 30s movie from Norway (so much for the brute force approach  )

[Opsa]

UNCLE! AUNT! Third cousin twice removed!!!

[Swatopluk]

It's not Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages is it?

That answer is correct!!!

Here are some extra pictures and it is now Darlica's turn

God evening Mr.Monk. I am the director of this movie and my name is Benjamin Christensen

You will stick with my script!

Suppertime!

[Darlica]

 

Give me a day or two, I'm at my mothers place now and sits on a slow conection.

*happy dance* I guessed a movie, I guessed a movie *Happy dance*

[Sibling Chatty]

Wow!!

That dude has some SERIOUS carcinoid flushing goin' on there...

That blotchy mottled look to the skin? That's how I look during a full on carcinoid flush. Starts on the palms of my hands, goes to the chest and back, upper legs, face and then full body. It is not, I will admit, one of the more attractive things I do...

[Swatopluk]

I guess that movie would still be a target for Kristian(TM) uproar, should it be shown on TV in the US (which would actually make the director's point).

[Darlica]

I'm sad to announce that I have to leave walkover.

My internet access will be sporadic the coming week as I will be dog/house sitting at my mothers place and I haven't found a way to post pictures that don't give away the title of the movie...   

Who wants my spot?

[Griffin NoName]

I'll take it. The last one I did only lasted one post !!  I'll just go shoot a few scenes. Back soon.
