1. pick 20 films you thoroughly enjoyed.
2. find screen captures (stills) for each film, preferably from scenes you like.
3. post the pictures with the rules; let your readers guess from what movie each still is from. (readers, no cheating. no google, no looking at livejournal interests or looking at the file names.) basically, do not cheat.

EDITED so pics 3 and 4 are no longer the same.

*gives you a gold star*

High points for getting Desk Set!

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was pretty sure that #15 was Waiting for Guffman and #20 was Love, Actually, but I wasn't 100% sure.

[kivrin.livejournal.com]

But you are also right on both those counts!

And the best part? With this as my default icon, you don't have to wonder if I cheated on #10! (For the record, I didn't cheat on any of them, though I was tempted with The Queen.)

#3: Not sure, but vessel with the pestle, yes?
#6: One of my favorite movies of all time. Do I want to grow up to be Bunny? YES I do.
#8: HEE! "I have one job on this ship. It's STUPID, but I'm going to do it!"
#10: Love!
#11: A recent fave.
#12: I sing THAT song in particular to drive my husband mad.
#18: Who does not love? Leeches!

#3 - yup!

#6 - :):) I do too.

#8 - heeeee!

#10 - apparently this is not out on DVD. CRIME!

#12 - heee again!

#18 - who does not love? only the crazy.

You do like Ben Kingsley, don't you? Dunno what #1 is, though.

2. Oh, that's Witness, isn't it? Too bad the photo's blurry.
3. The Court Jester!
4. Good Morning, Vietnam
5. Much Ado About Nothing (oh, she's so lovely in that)
6. Desk Set, a Katharine Hepburn movie I would watch again, unlike Adam's Rib, which says terrible things about both genders and the way they relate to each other.
8. Galaxy Quest
9. I would guess this would be Gun Shy, but at any rate, it's Liam Neeson and Oliver Platt and That Guy Who's On Stuff. :^)
10. The Pirate? It's from a movie I should have seen, but haven't, although my dad probably has.
11. Little Miss Sunshine (which I need to see)
12. Singin' in the Rain, and my favorite scene in it
13. Sneakers
14. The Queen (you know, some of us don't need to cheat and look at your livejournal interests to know that you like Helen Mirren)
15. This must be a Christopher Guest movie, judging by the cast of characters, probably that one about theater.
16. A very young Cary Grant--Arsenic and Old Lace?
17. Bend It Like Beckham, the only movie I've ever seen three times in the theater. Once by myself, even.
18. The African Queen. "Torpedoes." So, so glad the movie changed the ending from the book--it's not allowed to be depressing, dammit!
19. Noises Off? It looks absurd enough.

#2 - yeah, I should have searched harder for a good shot.

#9 - yup, Gun Shy. Which also has Richard Schiff in it! Which is perhaps what you were talking about...

#10 - nnno, not The Pirate, though it's definitely about Pirates...

#11 - yes, you should see it.

#14 - *g* Point taken.

#16 - yup!

#19 - and again, yup.
