Guess the movie from the image

Going off your clue and your rankings I'll take a stab at it being Executive Decision?

Hey, a guy in a suit walking cooly away from an explosion. That narrows it down to...

[philamental]

Not executive decision. I often pick images that contain clues or are supposed to trigger memories. That one just looks cool to be honest. I'll follow up with another in the morning

Sorry if that came across as harsher on your picture selection than it was meant to.

I like lurking in this thread, but I don't get far with any of the pictures, which says more about me than the players.

Well, that is the Pyramid of Cestius in the background. So perhaps the movie takes place in Rome if that helps anyone. It doesn't help me.

First off, how the hell does ED has less than 1K ratings? I watched it the day it came out on VHS, and it's been 20 years since it's release, and I'm sure they've shown it on TV like a gazillon times since then.

Secondly, Dunbar, you do your thang mate, I'm lovin' it.

Finally, I put my sleuthing hat on for this, because a 1K-less clue deserves that respect, and I'm throwing Double Team out there.

No offence seen or taken, fella so nothing to worry about. I thought your original comment was spot on and fair!

Well spotted, sir. I didn't recognise the landmark myself, but I can confirm that a number of scenes including the climax take place in Rome. This one doesn't ...



LITERALLY just about to post this and I can see that bercutio has already nailed it with 'Double Team'. Nicely done! What angle did you use to work it out, out of interest?

I went for the oldest trick in the book, and it's much easier than you'd think, just don't post a shot from your most recent rankings In this case, because of the year you mentioned, DT had no competition. And when the clue rklenseth gave checked out...

Coming up with the next clue soon.

Good work, but I have to admit I f***ed up by trying to be too clever. I actually rated the film over a year ago which would have made it harder to spot, however after brickwall said he checked my ratings for 90s films I panicked and considered deleting my rating until the round had finished. In the end I decided to leave it there but during the consideration I noticed my mini review was really poor (probably composed while drunk) so I deleted it. This had the unexpected impact of deleting the rating as well. I didn't think, and just re-entered the same rating as before which stamped my rating as yesterday

Lesson learned ... don't try to outwit the criticker community or you'll end up with egg on your face!

You had me laughing out loud, man. Funny thing is, I was thinking about a JCVD flick to ask just yesterday, thinking how that was never asked, and now that you have done this, I can't post that movie. But more importantly, I'm pretty strict about my 1K obsession, and I see that the mov I had in mind has even less rankings (which again doesn't make any sense to me), so, I'm gonna have to wait around a decade for that to reach 1K. So, here is something completely different:
