Quiz: Name that movie

[Frindis]

@mainer Yeah, I was thinking of the correct one, but the background picture with "All bets are off" made me change my mind right after I posted it and go for Lock Stock instead since they had a scene with poker in that movie.

That "All Bets are Off" sign was associated with illegal boxing matches which were a big part of the movie, and even though Jason Stratham was in it, he never threw a punch (or kick). I really liked Brad Pitt in this movie a lot better than some of those "AAA" movies he's done.

Anyway, you were correct in your first guess, the movie was Snatch from 2000, so it's your turn.

For any interested here's a short trailer of Snatch:

Last one, this one should be obvious.

That has to be Scanners (couldn't remember from the first image, but that last one did it).

Everyone looks at the screen, except that creepy guy with glasses. I bet he is the killer! As for the movie title, dunno yet.

...and the dog. Don't forget the dog.

@Frindis & @COLGeek - Hey you guys are observant, you'd make good Blade Runners! But it's not the creepy guy with the glasses, and not the little dog either. But there is a fair bit of violence in this movie. One sort-of-hint: there are no zombies.

That woman on the left has her hair in that guy's coffee mug! There's a curly strand that isn't and, next to it, a strand that vanishes!

The older woman with a dog actually looks familiar to me.

Setting is probably London, definitely UK.

No clue tho, not a movie guy last couple of decades.

@COLGeek - That's the one! This was one of the best movies I've watched in awhile. Violent at times, gut-wrenching at others, but the acting I felt was excellent. The movie felt very relevant to our current world situation.

And the actress, Clare-Hope Ashitey, was just incredible:

Folks of a certain age should identify this one easily:

World in Conflict: The Movie

 

[Brian Boru]

The Burger Wars.

I'd recognize those Burger King troops anywhere, with their little bun hats.

Red Dawn?

Yup, although I went through Kuwait for a deployment... this picture isnt far from the truth.
