Brick?

Survive Style 5+?   

I can't believe I guessed Joe V. The Volcano for a film that was actually Elephant Man.

I'm not sure. I just remembered it had a very bleak and stylized sequence at the factory at the beginning of the film. This sequence, in fact, if I'd bothered to check before guessing.

[Joe Versus The Volcano]

My guess is Joe Versus The Volcano.

My thought process, in case this helps anyone:

1. This looks like an early silent film, but I don't think it is. We have few panoramic options to choose from, even fewer that still exist in a wide format, and I don't think this is from either Old Ironsides or Abel Gance's Napoleon.
2. So this might be from a film designed to look like a silent film, but filmed post-whenever the wider aspect ratios came along (early 50s, I think). Or, it might be a flashback.
3. Or, this might be a Karel Zeman film. It has that look to it too, but I can't find one that matches up with the subject matter.

No matter the case, I want to see whatever this is. That looks a bit like Stephen Lang in the center.

CQ?

If you want to 'ask' your answers do so and I will complain every time or do you want to impose your views on me?

Nope. Like I said, if it's not fun, I just won't play. By the way, the name of the thread is "Guess the movie title," not "Aggressively assert the movie title." Maybe you should start your own thread?

Yeah, I stopped visiting this thread when certain folks started imposing rules -- about how to answer, about what movies were eligible to be used, about the timeframe for posting a new screen before they felt obliged to skip your turn, etc.

I figured that would be a quick one, and I was right. It is indeed the beautiful The Illusionist.

It is both obvious and unobvious to me. I recognize most of the people in the still from something, but can't put my finger on what.

Stab in the dark: is it Dirty Dancing?

Happy birthday, Ryan!

Happy I Am Now Going to My Kitchen to Try to Make Poutine Out of Cottage Cheese and Brown Gravy Mix, Thanks For Reminding Me It Existed Day, Ponch! 

I think the exquisite corpse method is the way to go. Could be interesting!

I kind of wish we'd gone through with full Facebook integration so I could 'Like' that comment, Stupot. As it is, I can only like it.

I say check in with the mods then, point to the precedent of the previous voice acting competition, and get this thing restarted -- it was your idea, after all!

Bingo Long and His Travelling All-Stars?

I only recently discovered the Hall of Fame thread and noticed there used to be a voice acting comp up until 2006.

I've been trying to think of a tactful way to suggest bringing it back (apparently I completely ignore stickied threads like this one and the HoF thread). I'd like to give voiceover work a try, have a mic and a copy of Audition, and a range of voices I'm capable of performing. However, I don't want to volunteer for game work because I'm completely inexperienced and I could be a total wash-up.

A voice acting comp would give me, and perhaps others, a nice way of trying out.

[Heaven Help Us]

Heaven Help Us ?

One quick turn deserves another. It is, indeed, the classic coming-of-age film Heaven Help Us.

[Southland Tales]

Sorry to get it so quickly! I don't know why, but two movies popped into my head based on your description, this one and Southland Tales. I almost guessed the latter, before I noticed they were wearing period costume.

Here's a new easy one:
