Happy birthday(if it's your real birthday), Technocrat(if it's your real name)! All the best!

Happy Birthday, Eric! 32 seems like an excellent age to make an excellent game!

Everyone in my country knows that, so I'll pass
Wait, that was a hint, was it?
It would actually be interesting to see how well this movie is known in other parts of the world.

Yep.

Damn, I vividly remember the scene from the first screenshot, and I'm pretty sure that it features some well known american actor from the 40-50s(the film is from the 50s as well, I think), whose character has just escaped from something war-related and is enjoying the war-free life with a handsome gal by his side, and the second screen suggests some tropical location, and how can't I remember what it is?! This is driving me crazy...

I think that back of the head belongs to Cary Grant and his amazing helmet hair, but apart from that I have no ideas.

I don't remember anything like that in Double Indemnity either, my guess is based almost solely on the lighting setup, which is, admittedly, pretty common for film noir.

My first thought was "Double Indemnity" - because of the lighting and the femme, but I disregarded that thought because I didn't see the connection(apart from both films being noir, obviously). Never knew it was co-written by Chandler! But now the pieces of the puzzle have started to fall into place, see! I'm still not quite sure, but that's my guess.

Aww, thanks!

And Happy Birthday to Calin, because I remember it's today by proximity! 

A guy I work with says this is "Fireworks". But I've seen that Katy Perry video, and I don't remember him being in it at all. So I'm going with "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence."

It is indeed Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-bi" aka "Fireworks".
I guess it's a-guy-you-work-with's turn, then! Please make him register on the forums and post a new movie for us to guess! Or do it for him, I don't particularly care - just stop avoiding the correct answer in a funny, but infuriating manner.

That's Beat Takeshi, and I don't remember those scenes from Hana-Bi, so I'm going to go with Sonatine.

Gah, no, not Sonatine. Wheelchairs, remember?

Not Johnny Mnemonic either, but that is quite obvious, I believe.

While amusing, none of those are correct.

Here's another screen, which should at least narrow it down significantly, if not give away completely.

None of the above. And no, sadly, there are no light cycle beams in this movie. I wish there were now.

Here's another screen:

Okay, here we go! No connection to the previous screen intended, although it's clearly there.

Wait, isn't this from "The Big Sleep"? And the connection is Ben Raymond Chandler, then?

Yay! Another delightful episode! Loved all the friendly off-topic rambling in this one

Yes to both questions.

Oldboy?

No, but you're both in the right country and the right year.

I know for a fact that there are people on the forum who've seen this, so this is the last clue I'm going to give

Nope!

Here's another shot:

WRONG!

Okay, maybe not that wrong, it is Ishar, but not 3. Or 1. It's 2, Ishar 2. But simply Ishar is good enough for me, it's your turn again, Gribbler!

Most of the interface removed, as is tradition.
