You got it. Its a really great movie delving into how people respond to horrific circumstances and how ignorant or asleep the people around them are.

Your turn.

Nope. Much more recent.

Not that one either.

Clue: Actual vikings make actual landfall. Odin-Jesus never says a word.

That's the one!

Very weird film, but fun if you don't mind symbolism overload. The trailer might make one think it's all about non-stop visceral combat, but most of it is spent on staring pensively at nothing in particular. Kinda requires at least a passing knowledge of Norse mythology to decipher.

The floor is yours.

Thank you, Borek. There are a dozen more movies with car chases under the ells.

FIRST to ANSWER wins the next toss.Next Movie:

A man decides to leave his job, his colleagues sit and sigh. He tells them he is much too old as they argue the reason and wonder why.

Yes, but you picked the one that I was thinking of... Much less than chance odds there. Why did that happen? Huh? Answer that!

Edit: I could have distinguished it by saying that, unlike most other "under the ells" carchases, the French connection scene was not sanctioned by the city. They just grabbed some cameras and did it without a permit. And if you watch, they almost hit a few pedestrians along the way. Damn I miss those outlaw 70's.

Yeah it did come to mind first. I think other movies tried to copy it.
