It sure is! I thought the first frame was kind of cheeky, since the rest are pretty much dead giveaways. Pack a lunch, because we’ve got a bunch of frames.

@Soren_Hoglund, drive it like you stole it (and by it, I mean a large truck, into the governor’s estate)
Ahhhhhh! I can’t believe I missed that. I love that movie.
Definitely one of my favourites of the year.
The new 20:20:
I am probably wrong, but I will start with Some Like It Hot
Blood and Black Lace?
If so this would be my second win in this game with a Giallo, and I don’t mind making this my thing.
You got it!

Over to you, @ArtVandelay
It’s a fantastic movie, and I love Mario Bava. We don’t really get these sort of vile movies anymore, films that are just unapologetically lurid and disgusting. There are so many horror movies and thrillers made, some of them are even good movies, but they’re all trying for respectability and class. Maybe Argento’s Dark Glasses will be the sick filth we have been missing for so long.
Here is a new 20:20:
Not sure, but I’m gonna guess it’s either Canadian, Aussie, or Kiwi. They spell “honour” like a commonwealth country, but they have dollars and cents.
The honour roll is for 400 to 450 which makes it 5 pin so that pegs it as Canada.
Y’all loouked clouser than I did. And certainly FEP has been done.
Not Five Easy Pieces, but still, excellent detective work here. I wonder what you’ll learn from the 40:40.
No guesses? here is another frame:
Ugh. This looks very familiar.
This is the last one, is it distinctive enough for someone to recognize it?
So this one counts as a loss. But also a win, because I get to talk about Out of the Blue, Dennis Hopper’s nihilistic 1980 movie starring Linda Manz as a teenager who would rather spend her time listening to punk bands than deal with her parents. And who can blame her.
I complained earlier that no one tries to make movies like Blood and Black Lace anymore. Well, many movies try to be like Out of the Blue, a coming of age story about a young girl from a troubled working class home, but none of those movies have Linda Manz.
Go watch Out of the Blue, just be warned this is not a happy feel-good story.
Also, a bonus frame! There is a cut right in middle of the 80:80, and I had to choose between a frame with a not very clear view of Dennis Hopper, and a frame that shows Manz in the get-up from the theatrical poster and Blu-Ray cover. I don’t know if anyone would have recognized Hopper from this.
A new 20:20 will be up soon.
