Ooh, it's actually one of my favourite movies ever too, but I don't want a turn yet. Great choice though!

LimpingFish, that's the one!

Correct, and you even got it before I could post this pic:

Yeah, the beach ball alien certainly steals the show there, but space surfing is pretty memorable too.

John Carpenter's "Dark Star"?

bicilotti, correct!

Is it "The only movie in the world that 99% of the population has not seen"?

It certainly seems that way. Actually, now that I think of it, probably much, much less than 1% of the population has seen this movie. But still, awesome people of this forum have cracked some much more obscure films than this one.

Come on, people, cheat and guess it already. We've already established that the lead actor is Moritz Bleibtreu, and it's quite obvious that the film is european and it features some chess-playing (romanian) border guards. It's also pretty damn good.

cat, yep, that's him!

Ascovel, yes! Oh, wait, no, of course not

Ok, let's try another shot, without the chess this time

Oh, god, what have I done. Now the world will drown in the ocean of chess puns

Yay!

Ok, here we go:

Does it by any chance feature Mick Jagger and was co-directed by Nicolas Roeg? If yes, is it "Performance"?

Buckethead, that's right! It's Alejandro Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain". Your Turn!

Though Tony Leung is a major star in Asia, so you shouldn't have put so much trust in his Wong Kar Wai connection.

Yeah, I know, he's a great actor with an amazing filmography, I just wanted it to be Wong Kar Wai, and the first shot hinted at the possibility.

Okay, moving on:

That looks like Tony Leung, so I would like to think it's a Wong Kar Wai movie, hence - Ashes of Time?

Ponch, yes, it is Sans Soleil, thank you. And now you are legally obliged to watch it!

Ha, French films seem to get you people stuck, eh?
Well, I'll still try  to make you guess it with another hint:

Spoiler

Another film by this director has served as an inspiration for one of the Terry Gilliam's movies

No, not Koyaanisqatsi, or any other qatsi for that matter. And not Baraka either. And there's no naked Sophie Marceau in it. Sorry. Here's a shot from the film with cats to cheer you up.

Also a very nice guess, and also wrong. It's not that old. Think 80s

Fiddler on the Roof.

Really?

Exit Through The Gift Shop.

Nice guess, but wrong. This one is quite a bit older.

Hahahah...THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS!

Still nope

Looks Japanese to me.

Well, the girl obviously is, but the film isn't.

This has to have something to do with Bruce Lee.

It soooo doesn't.

Don't want to stall the thread, so here's another hint that should make it possible to at least google this film:

Spoiler

It's a kind of documentary, that says that Pac-man is the perfect graphic metaphor of man's fate.
