Dammit, I know I've seen that film, is it a seventies suspense/horror thing, like the omen or malice etc?

Not.
Even.
Close.

If you mean the character, nope.
If you mean the actor, nope.

I'm no doubt thinking of something else then

99% sure I've never seen it, given up.

I'd gotten that impression, yes.

This is definitely not an obscure film, with over 15,000 votes on IMDB and a 7.6 rating. I believe it was also nominated for an Oscar, in one of the more major categories.

The lead actor wasn't that well-known at the time, but he has since been in a number of major productions.

Well, once you find out what it is, you should watch it. It's an aces movie, if somewhat horribly depressing.

I'm still sure I recognise the skinny bird in that ghastly val doonican sweater. But I'm maybe thinking of the one from the shining, she's sporting a similar masterwerk. I've all but given up, and If I haven't seen it I'm going to HAVE to watch it, or my brain will fall apart from the annoyance of it.

This movie is just over ten years old.

The director is foreign, but no, it's all in English. Unless you count Scotland as being foreign?

Anything not US or England is foreign

Canada doesn't count as anything...


PFFFFFT!!! I just looked up Breaking the Waves...its a chick flick!!! no wonder why no one knew it

Er, I can't quite see how a paralyzed oil rig worker getting his young wife to sleep with strangers then describe the encounters to him is a 'chick flick', but each to their own of course...

Unless he was paralysed in a really cool explosion it sounds chick flicky to me.

? Its subversive and a bit wrong from what I've read, I guess I dunno as many of the same type of chick as y'all!

In my experience, they have alway been very, very wrong.
