    How about this one then? An answer has to be obtainable here. This one for Ves Maybe?
    Satellite Boy...GREAT film!
  •               Satellite Boy...GREAT film!

    Correct. Satellite Boy from 2012. An abandoned outdoor cinema screen is seen in the background. of my posted image.

    The film is scheduled to be screened on the Foxtel Drama channel here in Australia next Monday, when I will have an opportunity to view it.

    The clue appears in the image of the film being advertised outside the theatre. It narrows down the period of the film considerably.

    I think I am making a mistake by focusing on the bikers.  Your hint helped me find 'Black Magic' as a 1949 film.  IMDB didn't show that one, but I found it on Wikipedia.  Then looked at biker movies from 1949 to 1953.  Wiki lists these


    I had already suspected The Wild One, but google searches for images on that title come up dry.  As do the others.  I surrender.

    Full marks for trying.

    A final clue then '' A picture as excitingly different as its title!'' 

    Hoping this clue should either now give you the correct answer, or perhaps someone else may possibly jump in if they see this before you.

    I dont think they are bikies...I think they are cops

  • DOA (1949) ?
    Correct.


    I dont think they are bikies...I think they are cops

    They are police, as being viewed at by Edmond O'Brien's film character driven in a car by actor Neville Brand's  character.

    It's back on re-release here. Seen previously in another form.
  • Night of the Comet (1984)

    One of my guilty pleasure films where a couple of Valley Girls are survivors of a comet hitting the earth.  Most people are turned to dust, but some become zombies.

    Best line is "Daddy would have gotten us Uzis"

  • jayn_j said:

    Correct. I am thinking Uzis are more well known in America than here in Australia. 



  •  

    I wasn't sure where to place this image, and strictly speaking it probably doesn't qualify to be here, but what the heck. Something a little differen for yout to try and fathom out then.

    Some images similar to the posters appearing on the billboard.

     

    There is at least one person. perhaps even two, who should know some details about the image in question.

  • The image is from the Universal film Crazy House ( 1943 ). As part of the film's plot Olsen and Johnson, playing themselves annoy Cass Daley, also playing herself and she has them hooked up by Universal Pictures studio security guards to a crane and has them lowed abruptly over  to the other side of the poster billboards, apparently  outside of the studios grounds. The actors would possibly have had stuntmen fill in for them in this scene. I have viewed this scene on YouTube.

    Nice Universal film promotion poster usage of their 1943 releases Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man and The Next Of Kin, along with a patriotic war bonds poster as well.








  • In the above images two very known classic films are being screened at cinemas in a couple of little known films. The films that need to be identified weren't that well known when they were first released, and that should remain the case today as well.
  • Cool pics Lawrence - thanks for posting

  • "In this still from First to Fight (1967) Chad Everett and Marilyn Devin walk out of a movie theater where they had just watched Casablanca. One of my favorite movie-in-a-movie scenes!"

    Correct again. I have never viewed this movie so I will try and seek it out.


    A couple of posters from the original U.S.A. and Australian theatrical release.




  • The advertised film poster outside the theatre should hopefully help to narrow down the country of origin and the time period for this film.

    Refreshing is a final clue.

  • Peppermint soda 1977. Kind of an interesting film

  • jayn_j said:

    Peppermint Soda is correct.



    An original French country of origin film poster for Peppermint Soda, titled Diabolo Menthe.


  • This is an interesting image. If you happened to have seen the film that this scene appeared in, and can remember what took place inside the cinema, then you are home and hosed.
  • aint gunna touch that :)
  • I'm not joking...I googled films that feature nudists from the 60s and Carry on Camping came up as the top result!
    Few more checks and sure enough, seems to be correct?

    Absolutely nailed it. Carry On Camping ( 1969 ) was released in Australia in 1970. The Carry On cast were watching Nudist Paradise, a British nudist film first released in the U.K. in 1959. The two ladies weren't impressed at all with the screening.

     Australian Audiences viewing Carry On Camping in 1970 hadn't yet seen the Nudist Paradise film going by the Australian censorship on the daybill, as is post 1971. Most likely censorship problems delayed the release here.

     The tagline on the daybill reads 'Australia's first nudist film'. This comment is misleading as it could be interpreted as being an Australian made film when in fact it is British. A 'The first nudist film to be released in Australia' tagline would have been more accurate. Some early U.K. promotional material for Nudist Paradise has ' The first British nudist film' printed on it.





    Nudist Paradise and Carry on Camping Australian daybills.


  • Another two to ponder. Fair chance you have seen eiher or both of the well known films that these images appear in.
