The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (Les Douze travaux d'Astérix)

Indeed! This isn't Getafix, but rather a druid who lives at the top of a mountain and asks the unanswerable question.

No connection here between this one and the last, that I know of:

One that regularly vies for status as my all-time favorite movie (and my all-time I-think-she-is-the-most-attractive actress). Once Upon a Time in the West!

I was certain Miguel had the correct answer. This isn't Batman (aka Batman: The Movie) from 1966?   

The Lobo Para-Military Christmas Special?

If I'm not mistaken, that's actually a British film, financed by Lord Lew Grade, who also produced The Prisoner and The Muppet Show. I should've gotten that one! I didn't recognize Jack O'Halloran without his Non beard.

EDIT: ...And I am mistaken! Big Sleep was the British production. This is the one that featured a young Stallone.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Looks kind of like a handsomer Irwin Keyes. Who is that actor?

This kind of reminds me of a movie I used to like as a kid, George's Island, but I don't think that's it. I feel like I do know this one, though.

March of the Bladerunners.

That one has a great soundtrack too.

knonan nailed it! Your turn!

Here's a new screenshot on the block:

Is it Papillon?

Jean Pierre Melville is the man. I recommend every film he's ever been a part of. Bob Le Flambeur is my favorite.

No guess, but that exact burned ride is in an amusement park that used to be near me (I moved, it didn't burn).

Only Angels Have Wings was the inspiration for one of my favorite TV shows, Tales of the Gold Monkey. For some reason I didn't recognize it until you posted that last shot. And Howard Hawks loved cowboys so much, he stuck them in almost every movie he did. Much like John Carpenter, a big fan of Hawks, tends to do.

I almost cited Carpenter when talking about westerns that weren't westerns! Assault on Precinct 13 is pretty much Rio Bravo. Also, I too am a big fan of Tales of the Gold Monkey, and the show that later paid homage to it, Tale Spin!

You should seek it out, sir. It's an amazing movie, and sets the formula for the remainder of Hawks' career. And, perhaps, in a sense, these guys are cowboys, and this is a bit of a western. But not really.

Only Angels Have Wings?

...A movie which is not about cowboys, but about airplane pilots in South America!

Is it a cowboy film? I never said it was!

I forgot I wouldn't have a copy of this film with which to make new screenshots. Luckily, the internet is here. This is probably the most famous scene in the movie in question:
