The walking hammers are iconic but the others, I don't think anyone could have guessed without having seen it (I've never seen it). At least you found a challenging one ;D
The film switches so much and varies so much when you post obscure scenes from it with basically no people in any of them too - VERY Hard. Almost impossible, I think it easy to do and no one ever get any movies people post.

Well at least it made it challenging rather than it being guessed within an hour of being put up. It's not like I didn't try and post regular clues ;)

Hehe that was nice and challenging  ;D

Post another one quickity quick  ;D

I know it is good to have a challenge. I like it. But very easy to make them almost impossible every time. Been busy over weekend and had new PC to build so will grab a screenshot from one of my movies asap.

Hmm...it looks like a newish/recent film...trying to decide if its a period thing or if it's set in more modern times but the scene is in a stately home...

If its not sherlock i want to say pirates of the Caribbean 4 but i know its the wrong time period...

Problem with some of the modern movies is while Sherlock homes is awesome and I am looking forward to the next one, other movies following suit in its style are really ignoring history quite a bit - Take the three musketeers for example which looks Dumb in that regard. Sherlock and Pirates for example at least kept the silly incorrect time period stuff to a minimum.

It is none of those.

The Pirates films all destroyed any relevance they had to actual history in every way and were no better or worse in that regard than the Three Musketeers. And rightly so, they are fantasy films, not historical docu-dramas. It would be like criticising the Lord of the Rings for being historically inaccurate.

Do not get me wrong, they are fantasy movies set around those times- True. And fun rides to watch and not take seriously. But my point was - what we have had currently in this new old style movies has been just about right. Sherlock has those elements that do not fit the period but nice movie and Pirates was OTT fun. Things like the Musketeers and some of the others coming are stepping over that line though and being a bit to much.

@knighty - No mate. Actually is a scene in that movie that looks very similar, I know which bit your thinking about actually lol.

I wondered about Kings Speech, but not being good at history and not seeing the film, I thought the gramophone would have been the wrong time period ><
