Okay, clearly we're not going to come up with a very long list, but do you know of any movies where one of the characters uses nasal snuff?
The first one that comes to mind first is a movie I grew up watching and even when I didn't really know what snuff was or how it worked, I was still aware that the character was using snuff. That's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, when Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Blondie (Clint Eastwood) stumble across the runaway wagon in the desert, and Tuco goes rifling through the dead men's pockets and comes across a snuff box and takes a pinch. He's later offered some snuff from the same box later, right before he's beat up. The name in the snuff box actually becomes a plot point. (And I love how Tuco never carries his own tobacco, but will take it when found, such as picking up one of Blondie's spent cigars or from the found snuff.)
Another movie is Sweeney Todd. The guy, Beadle, who works for the evil judge takes a hit of snuff right before going up to get a shave from Sweeney Todd.
There's another movie I watched over the summer, after I'd been using snuff, where a character uses snuff, but I'm not sure what movie it was. (As a recent convert to snuff, I noted the exchange.) It was a scene in a car, and the one character offers the other a cigarette, and he replies that he doesn't smoke, he's always used snuff. I watched a bunch of film noirs but in this case I think it was a foreign language film, and so I'm thinking it may be the French movie Shoot the Piano Player. Whatever movie it was, I know I have it, so I'll try to verify it.
That's three. Any snuff users noticed the use of snuff in any other films?
