Probably too large, but anyway:
http://72.32.9.12/~jreifer/words/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/grd_20090207_17w.jpg
American, early '70s.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 13:53 (thirteen years ago)
I want to say American Graffiti...
― Mark G, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 13:54 (thirteen years ago)
No--contemperaneous.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 13:57 (thirteen years ago)
By which I mean contemporaneous with its year of release, not American Graffiti. I don't know, maybe it's too obscure without any people in the image.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:04 (thirteen years ago)
Mean Streets?
― Tartar Mouantcheoux (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:17 (thirteen years ago)
that could be new york i guess
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:19 (thirteen years ago)
Long Goodbye?
― to welcome jer.fairall, pie is served. (jer.fairall), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:21 (thirteen years ago)
One more clue, then I'll just give it--nothing as famous as Mean Streets or The Long Goodbye. 1971, drug-related.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:23 (thirteen years ago)
The Panic in Needle Park?
― Tartar Mouantcheoux (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:26 (thirteen years ago)
lol i didn't notice the palm trees before
Good guess, but no. Cisco Pike--the other '71 film about drugs with Gene Hackman. I think it's near the end, just before everything goes bad. If you include a character in the still, this is too easy; if not, too hard.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:31 (thirteen years ago)

The Dreamers.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:30 (thirteen years ago)
I haven't seen it but kind of want to because I hear Michael Pitt is nakey a lot.
Late '70s, American, cult film, well-known director.

'the dreamers' is worth seeing. characters are all film buffs and do get nakey a lot.

"Two lane blacktop" innit?
― Mark G, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:59 (thirteen years ago)
Two Lane Blacktop is early 70s.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 16:01 (thirteen years ago)
Badlands?
You'd think so, but no--that's early '70s. (I was wrong on the Cisco Pike year--'72, not '71.)
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 16:01 (thirteen years ago)
Not Badlands, either--'73.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 16:02 (thirteen years ago)
Sugarland Express?
― Spectrist, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 16:04 (thirteen years ago)
No--but there's a still from that that's somewhat similar.

I guess that's not really a cult film is it.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 16:12 (thirteen years ago)
Thinking about Dreyfuss in his pick-up, wouldn't doubt there's a similar shot in that. You've got the right year.

New York City, 1971--these are all good guesses. It's The Possession of Joel Delaney. I've never seen it, but I came across this great still online of Shirley MacLaine in a cab, went ahead and ordered a copy.

― clemenza, Friday, 14 August 2015 14:14 (ten years ago)
Hah, have seen POJD. Interesting movie - first twenty minutes or so almost play like a Woody Allen movie (w/out the overt comedy) before the supernatural theme is introduced. There is also a slightly transgressive child abuse angle that would be swiftly excised from any modern remake. Directed by the man who also directed the first ever episode of Doctor Who episode!
― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Friday, 14 August 2015 14:21 (ten years ago)
When I came across that still, I was actually looking for a still from Desperate Characters--also New York City, 1971. I think there might be a poll there.
― clemenza, Friday, 14 August 2015 14:23 (ten years ago)
huh odd that I've never heard of that one given the period and Maclaine and the setting, which are all things I love
