Raiders of the Lost Ark perhaps?

 

[bikkit]

I have no idea. Maybe. Probably.

 

[poohcarrot]

Get all 26 then we can all enter and possibly win all 26 DVDs.

 

[Tonyblack]

I think the hands with the eyes on is Pan's Labyrinth.

 

[poohcarrot]

We need Dave C the cinema projectionist.

 

[Tonyblack]

I think we've got about 24 already.

What was that word on the signpost?

 

[Tonyblack]

OK the signpost says "Silencio" - not sure about that one, but I'll add:

Captain America

 

[poohcarrot]

Yellow submarine?

And I thought the bowling ball was the Big Lebowski.

And it can't be Silence of the lambs AND Hannibal.

 

[Tonyblack]

The Big Lebowski.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Mostly got the ones above plus

Groundhog Day (the 5:59/6:00 bit)

The mask could be Hannibal but the moth's definitely Silence of the Lambs (Silencio? or could that be La Dolce Vita?)

Sex Lies and Videotape? VHS natch

American Beauty (bullet & petals + music)

The Matrix (red & blue pills)

That red sun with the barbed wire-like character hanging on a noose - is that something like Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence? It's more like Tenko actually !

 

[Tonyblack]

The barbed wire character is, I think the stick figure from Blair Witch.

Why is there an Algerian flag on the videotapes?

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Algerian? No idea - not sure about SL&V as I was just going by the videos

I'm almost certain that red sun with black barbed wire writing is about a Japanese concentration camp - that's with my graphics cap on - It's very iconic and that's definitely a hangman's noose right at the top of the wire too

 

[poohcarrot]

The thing is, all the films are going to be pretty famous.

Was Umbrellas of Cherbourg famous?

I think you're right about Groundhog Day, Jan.

I see the video tape but where' are the sex and the lies?

 

[Tonyblack]

The thing is, all the films are going to be pretty famous.

Was Umbrellas of Cherbourg famous?

I think you're probably right about them being after famous movies - although 'Up' is far too new to be famous - isn't it?

As for Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it's a French movie and well worth checking out. It's got one of the most famous songs from the movies. Been recorded by loads of people in loads of different languages.

 

[Tonyblack]

Forget Leon the Pig Farmer, I'm going with Delicatessen for the pig picture.

 

[Tonyblack]

Take a look at the opening scene of Umbrellas of Cherbourg and tell me that it isn't like the clip in the video quiz.

 

[Tonyblack]

The falling cross is rather like The Omen.
