screencap Friday: what the flick? #49

Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment -- no fair hogging all the guesses.

The Village?

The Prestige?

Frailty?

No, no, and no.

Lethal Weapon (the first one)?

the thomas edison story?

1408?

You know what I'm going to say, because you know I never, ever get these. So, Ben Hur.

Or the Matrix :p

Jacob's Ladder?

Fight Club?

Tzameti 13

I'm seconding Fight Club. I can hear Marla from here ... wait that's a neighbor.

I'm thirding the David Fincher vibe. If it's not Fight Club, then Zodiac?

The Others?

Beat me to it, joey. I also think it's the scene in the signwriter's cellar ("Most people in California don't have cellars..." "Well. I do.") in Zodiac.

Signs?

No one has guessed correctly yet. Not even warm.

Chronicles of Narnia?

man i feel like a guy at the craps table who rolled a pair of snake guys, sorry for the peoples that agreed with me,

how about Casino Royale?

snake eyes*, and thats not the movie im picking, im correcting my self

Se7en?

Nope, still nowhere near it.

No Country For Old Men?

10,000 BC?

Mister Sparkle: The Motion Picture?

From Hell?

Downfall?

Nope.

Try going back a few decades...

The Shawshank Redemption

Papillon?

Sybil

There will be blood?

The Exorcist

The Evil Dead?

How about Carrie?

The Shining?

The Godfather?

To Die For?

The Sting?

Friday the 13th. ;-)

Wow. Still no one has guessed..

Here's another hint: the reason for the focus on the lightbulb is because the way it is powered is different from what we might expect.

Soylent Green?

And we finally have a winner: it is indeed *Soylent Green.*
