Re: Guess That Movie By Screenshot (12 + 1)

My question: has this movie been subjected to a remake?

No, but it is based on a novel with the same title.

Random guess: The Venetian Affair?

No, but you've only off on the release year by one, and this film's lead is also a man from a country other than the one in which the film takes place (look at post #28 for a geographical clue as to the film's setting), though the circumstances of this film are far more light-hearted than those of The Venetian Affair.

I'm a little late with the kudos because I was away, but you've outdone yourself, obscurelabel. Brilliant summary, and I like how you've added the totals for the entire series. Looks like I still have a lot of catching-up to do.

No, but the main character does have a drinking problem (of sorts).

Spoiler:
By the way, I hope everyone could tell I was being a little indirect with the last clue. Just in case anyone is taking it too literally, the drinking problem doesn't have anything to do with alcoholism.

Looks familiar, but I can't place it. Foul Play?

It's from a later year than either of these.



The leading man (not this actor) has been nominated for an acting Oscar® and has a role in a movie that opened on over 3,000 U.S. theater screens in 2010.

Potentially NSFW?

Spoiler:


Also potentially NSFW?

Spoiler:


The leading lady is seen here.

Part of an acting family, the leading man has a sibling and a child who are movie actors -- one of the two has won an acting Oscar®. Each of these three family members has a past or upcoming role in a popular "film franchise."

^I was sniffing the same trail last night, but I didn't think it could be anything post-'80s because of the quality of the screenshots. The last shot indicates otherwise.

Hitman's Run (1999)?

You're both on the right track, but have taken the wrong trains



Like the previous movie posted, this one has nothing to do with Dr Pepper.

Re: Guess That Movie By Screenshot (12 + 1)

Based on the shots, I was looking for a completely different kind of movie, so that one didn't even register, though it should have given your first clue. Roberts is a quality actor. Too bad he's in his insufferable sister's shadow and consigned to mainly B-movie junk.
