"Guess the movie from the Screenshot" game

Sorry, I was wrong. I believe the director would have been too young (or not yet born) by 1964. My bad.

That is correct, the answer was incorrect.

Here's a really important hint: in this movie, a well-known actor plays the mother of the character who she herself played in the movie to which this one is a prequel.

The Rainbow.



Well, THAT was a journey!

Yes, that is the correct answer. Ken Russell's The Rainbow is a prequel to his earlier Women in Love. Glenda Jackson appears as the mother of the character she played in the earlier movie. Both are based on novels by D. H. Lawrence.

The movie also features Kenneth Colley, who played Admiral Piett in 2 Star Wars movies and Jim Carter of Downton Abbey.

Ok, who's next?

Blue Velvet!

Wow, that didn't take long.

I give up.

Because you thought there were several dozen films featuring Kyle MacLachlan finding an ear in a field? Did you really think that was an obscure image from a little-known film or is it a memorable and obvious image from a famous film?

So I'm terrible at attachments. If you don't want to cheat, avoid quoting this post because the answer is in the link. I'm not sure how popular this film is, so I have a more "obvious" backup picture. Or maybe someone will immediately recognize it!

No clue

This movie is a horror movie (though I could see it also being labeled a horror-thriller).

This film is from New Zealand and was made in the 1990s.

Well I guess we can rule out The Piano

Good guess, but no. (But you're in the right zone of weirdness!)

This movie has fewer than 4,000 votes on IMDb, and while it's not directed by a certain very famous New Zealand director, he does get a special thanks in it. I think I may have overestimated how many people might have seen this one.

Here's another two pictures:

The Ugly

Correct!

I think that it got this little wave of buzz in the early 2000s and so I assumed more people had seen it. When I saw just 3.1k IMDb votes, I was like "Uh, oh!"

It's really hard to find these days, but highly recommended if you come across it!

Congrats @Louis126

OK I've got one!

Plunder of the Sun * 1953

Sorry, no.

Hint: this isn't an English-language movie.
