Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 14, Week 12

Has it really been twenty years? It certainly doesn't feel that way. To think that Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire) dates back to the time when Germany was still two countries is sort of mind boggling. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting slack-jawed in the theater, amazed at what was unfolding in front of me. It still hasn't lost its power after all these years. Congrats to all that guessed it. I don't know about the rest of you, but Christmas this year took just about everything out of me. It's just past midnight on the 26th, and I would like nothing more than to crawl into a cave and hibernate for the next two months. With a stack of DVDs, of course.... Well, we're at the end of Round 14, and for the final quiz I decided to use a somewhat obscure figure. I read somewhere that this bearded fellow once directed a few films, though I understand they're long forgotten. Best known as spokesman for a second-rate wine, he also graced the silver screen during the 70s in some choice roles, including his legendary performance as Unicron in Transformers: The Movie. Here he is in another unforgettable role from a film that defined a generation. Name it. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck, and be sure to check back next week for the winners!

great way to end the year, FB.

Happy new year.

Eh, that last image tickled my brain, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe because Wings didn't make as deep an impression on me. Ah, well.

(I know I'm way behind on this, but...) Wonderful choice of screencap. Possibly my favorite cameo in any film, ever.
