Hehe, nice one, Iceboty! He makes a great real-life Mario.

Is that bloke in the dark jacket a cop, is that the link?

There your are, finally!! I told you aaaaages ago already! 

Yes, it's your go...

"The Laughing Policeman" aka "An Investigation of a Murder" (<-- which kind of moron thought that was a good alternative title for that film!!! )

Probably because I likely wouldn't ever watch a movie called "The Laughing Policeman". But "An Investigation of a Murder" sounds better (although still sounds a bit cheesy).

Obviously, but you know what I mean. That's like calling "The Big Lebowski": "Stoned dude wants his carpet back", how more dumbing-down does it get?! If you've seen "The Laughing Policeman", the protagonist doesn't even smile one single time throughout the whole movie, it's a hardboiled cop film - that's the whole cynical punchline...

[EDIT:]

Absolutely, Snarky! That's it.
A gritty urban police procedural film with a great bunch of characters. Quite cynical & "honest", in a sense that the protagonists are as clueless as the viewer at times and you see
them following up on many dead-end leads. In certain key scenes it almost feels like an "American Giallo" for some reason (yeah, I know, I'm an oxy-moron! ), but it fits the overall mood of the movie to the point.) Watch it if you can...

EDIT: Dang, sorry bbX1138! Seems like you guessed it first! Stupid alternative titles, it's the same movie:
"The Laughing Policeman" aka "An Investigation of a Murder" (<-- which kind of moron thought that was a good alternative title for that film!!! )
Sorry Snarky! Blame the international releases!

Yep, your go bbX1138!
     

Almost spot on - concerning the year of release.

It's a good movie, but it is REALLY not that well known.

I wouldn't even consider it unfair to consult IMDb.com in this case...

Hint: The book this movie is based on was written by a Swedish couple of crime fiction writers. In it's adaptation
however the setting was changed to some major metropolis in the US. (Clint Eastwood escaped from some famous prison island over there, in some
totally unrelated movie. )

Edit: Also, check Eric's godawful spelling(!) in the post above. Good hint!

Good point, Eric! Let's say he has a certain brooding menacing quality in the one in question. By the way, you must know that movie. I know that
for a fact! (don't want to stall the thread for too long...)

Correction:

hint: The most 2nd or 3rdest most serious & menacing you will ever see Jack L...W. Matthau on screen...

by that hint dropping dude below!v v v

[Jack Lemmon]

Yeah, I was already pretty sure it's Jack Lemmon in that first photo - unmistakable cheekbones. But I still don't know what film of his is this.

HEheheee, nice one Ascovel, didn't see that one before!! During a certain period quite permissible to imagine they're one and the same though!

Yeah, I was hoping that came through, he has got a very 'distinct' profile...

hint: The most serious & menacing you will ever see Jack L...W. Matthau on screen...  

Nope! None of them is the real McCoy!

Another one then...

That's the dude, that was neither Nicholson nor Keitel in the previous shot...

At first I thought "Conquests of the Longbow", but the graphics weren't that elaborate and I couldn't think of any scene
that comes close to this. I'm intrigued!!

You mean the one with Basinger? Then nope.

That one was realeased 3 yeares AFTER "The Two Jakes"...

Nice one, but no.

That's neither Nicholson nor Keitel in this shot, though the protagonists might've gas from time to time - not sure though .
It's quite a few years older than the Jakes...

Here it is once more so you don't have to go back to the previous page all the time:

Universe is a very unique looking game. There were non other i can remember that had this 'grainy' effect except Curse of Enchantia by the same developer. I cant say much about the story since i played it almost 20 years ago but i remember it as a very fun and original experience. Tramponline You schould check it out some time.

I am. Literally right now!
('Curse of Enchantia'(!!! ), that explains why I missed the other one: I hated that game from the bottom of my heart, it felt like stuffing quite beautiful visuals with nonsensical & irritating fluff! Uhh, how I despised that game... )

on topic: Looks like a fairy tale adventure...mh...

As far as I know, the next one is probably not that well known, so I went with a
fairly revealing shot...

Universe!! 

That game seems to have passed me by completely. Is it really that good?

Lady Jessica in the courtyard - Dune.
Saw this one many, many times!

Great movie choices! Jeunet's visual style is incredible. (even more so when he teams up with Caro!)

祝你生æâ€"¥å¿«ä¹, Kconan! <- I hope that didn't go wrong and I just posted blatant insults or dirty innuendos!

Half-Life Lassie?

It seems if you search for games in the database and you enter a search term (e.g. "quest") where the search results exceed one page,
you get an "Invalid search!" return upon selecting the 2nd page.

(Just out of curiosity, search results in general are limited to two pages, aren't they? I get two pages of results even if I
search for "the" or "game".)

Great! Then I can ask you when I get stuck.
Thanks for the link, Khris!

Aaahww man, Andail!
At least selmiak rolled with it...thanks, man!
