BrownNoser, If I remember correctly in one of those Final Destination movies, the one where there was a big car pile up on the hwy. There was a guy who was driving and he put a bump of cocain on his hand so he could take hits while driving. He played the cliche druggie guy that dies.

the madness of king george has a scene where rupert everet either is using snuff or smelling his fingers. The movie Auntie Mame has a southeren woman who use snuff in a very unflattering light, for one thing she sneezes after every pinch.

Fred Ott’s Sneeze is one of the oldest surviving motion pictures. In it Fred Ott induces a sneeze by taking a pinch of snuff. He was filmed in Thomas Edison’s laboratory in the 1890s. So by this virtue it really is the oldest surviving ‘snuff’ movie!
Am watching “Bleak House” by Charles Dickens - Mr Bucket is sniffing and pinching constantly :o) And in a very realistical way.
Bleak House is great. I’ve seen it twice, but wasn’t snuffing at the time so I didn’t notice. I guess thats a reason to watch it again. It’s odd seeing a gaunt Gillian Anderson.
Just moving this post over from another thread to keep them together. Just watched an old western from 1961 called “Gold of the Seven Saints”. There is a seen where a lady is having trouble delivering a baby so the doctor borrowed a snuff box from another man & filled a quill with snuff then blew it up the ladies nose. This caused the lady to sneeze & the baby came right out. This technique was known as “quilling”. I’m a big fan of the westerns.

snuff sighting…The Man From Space Last night I was watching the Honeymooner’s DVD set I borrowed from a friend recently. In this episode Norton comes in dressed as some French guy from the 1700’s, his childhood hero that designed and built the sewers of Paris. Any fan of the Honeymooner’s I’m sure can just picture Norton’s flair in taking snuff. Of course Ralph ends up trying some too. Hilarious! I’d bet this is one of the best episodes of the Honeymooner’s…not just because of the snuff taking. You all need to see this.

I couldn’t find the Sweeney Todd scene anywhere online, so I just uploaded one myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCtBJaUCz8M
The house of Rothschild . (1934) duke of wellington’s snuff box is empty he asks for some. every man around him produced a box for him to use.
Just walked in on my friends watching The Duchess, and saw a man taking a pinch. Put a little smile on my face.
Hmm… I have the blu ray of the duchess and I somehow missed that?! I think I know what I’m watching today…
I live about 10 miles from where The Duchess was filmed, Chatsworth House, one of the finest stately homes in the country and home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. YTF they live in Derbyshire, 250 miles from Devon is anybodys guess but it is a beautiful place. Stefan
Wow! I’d love to live in such a beautiful area…
It is beautiful round here. I live on the edge of the Peak District National Park, this is where Chatsworth is. It was I believe mostly filmed on location round here. Trouble is you don’t appreciate it when you live in it. There is no prettier place in England than Derbyshire, just got to learn to appreciate it. Stefan
I was watching a western yesterday, If You See Sartana, Pray For Death, and the main bad guy had a silver snuff box, he’d take out and do a few pinches to the nose, and rub on his teeth too. Playing cards, he sat his snuffbox on the table to he could see the cards he was dealing. It’s a good movie, has John Garko, and Klaus Kinski in it.
There’s this japanese TV series called “liar game” (2007 / 2009) where one of the characters uses snuff. I was able to pause it and identify the snuff as wilsons honey menthol. They made it look like he was doing cocaine or something lol.
