Re: Name that Film!
No. That was tough. I've probably seen that movie 6 thousand times as a kid. Wore that VHS tape out!
I'm not really in a position to grab a screenshot of anything till late this evening so I'll let someone else go.

Tremors didn't have a body of water nearby; would've been the perfect place to hide from the 'sandworms'.

Re: Name that Film!
That's either a huge headstone, or that's a boy or midget watching 'our hero' leave...dammit, this all seems so familiar, but I'm not big on westerns!

Another shot. Although if you don't know what it is by now, you probably haven't seen it.
And yes, in last picture the guy next to the gravestone is a midget.

Oh, GOD! Clint getting confronted while trying to get a shave...
...a midget 'audience insertion character'...
...a whole town painted red...
*wracks brain*
Let'see - can't be Pale Rider because that was in the '80s - this is older...
Not The Good, the Bad and the Ugly because Eli Wallach ain't that short.
...uhhhh, I can only read "rest in peace" off the headstone; if I could make out the name maybe that'd twig my memory!!!

Re: Name that Film!
There's something we might be missing:
In a film's visual language, the borders on the edge usually mean its someone watching a film IN the film, like the start of Paranorman
Edit: ignore me, the image name suggests it's from tumblr
Also, dib: no glasses though, looks like he has a late 60s perm
What the hell is that in the bottom left? Looks like a blonde wig on that guy shouting 'Kahli Mar' in Temple of Doom

Re: Name that Film!
Okay, nobody's got it yet, but Ptangmatik hit on something: this is showing a film being recorded IN the movie we would be watching, and we're looking from the meta-cameraman's perspective.
That's the back of a man's head at bottom left, looking up at the people on the stairs...along with the cameraman. Bottom right is a presumably blonde woman also looking up.
I'll give a hint that no one seems to have picked up on: the people the shot is focusing on (up on the stairs looking down) are black people in whiteface.
Here's another shot showing them better (maybe not from the film itself):
And tumblr is just where I upload these pics to throw the trail off.

Re: Name that Film!
intresting, but no. both films did come out in 1970, but it apears that godfrey cambrige did a much better job with his whiteface.
okay, in the film this is a radcial black group that put on this...'experimental theatre' thingy to help whit poeple bettr undrstrand the racial disaprity betwen whites and blacks; the audience gets boot polish put on their faces, then the group - blaks in the crude whiteface shown abive - come in and mistreat and abuse the audience. when they try to flee the secne of the preformance, they meet our protagonsit - w white guy - dressed as a cop, when then continues the 'show' by arresting the 'black' people, on the premise of racial profiling; 'they must have done somethin wrong'.
we see this play out thru the lens of a 8mm camera filmoing the perfomance.
note that this is act two of the film overall; the protagonist fell in with the theater group aftr his own artistic ideas failed, but he's just as disillusoned by this, and drifts off tother things in act three...

Re: Name that Film!
Yep.
I guess I rambled on a little too much there with that last; I blame the cold.
I caught the movie some time ago on 'the late show' of a local tv station; rather weird watch - has a real 'film school project' feel to it.
Yer up, Jack!
