Both correct. Well done.

Re: the image from Popeye - I just recognised the town immediately, the set of which is still in Malta, preserved as a tourist attraction.

I don't think this one was spotted yet.
There is a link with The Damned, which was in the same set. An actor appeared in both movies.
I've included a 2nd shot below as another clue.

Argh! The Night Porter. There's no way I'd have got it without the second photo though.

Zeek12

Correct. Well done.
For me, the first shot was probably more memorable. Something very creepy about that chap with the monocle!!

The link between the two movies was Dirk Bogarde.

delbertgrady

Well, the freaky accordionist accompanying Charlotte is pretty memorable too.
But perhaps not as much as Charlotte herself...

Zeek12

delbertgrady: Was this one ever spotted? It was bugging me a few days ago because I think I know it. And if it wasn't named yet, any clues?

That's for sure! Any shots of Ms. Rampling from that scene would probably have earned me a ban :pac:

delbertgrady

Just after this empty frame, a car screams into shot.
Someone's in an awful hurry to get to a wedding...

Zeek12

No closer to getting it.
Will have to have a think about that!

Is it the Graduate?

Although my first thought was Wayne's World 2 as I saw that film's piss-take of that scene countless times before actually seeing the Graduate itself :P

delbertgrady

I was posting more clues, but Johnny Ultimate has got it in the interim.
I actually posted the Wayne's World 2 parody "twin churches" the other day.
Well done.

Zeek12

Well done Johnny Ultimate. Puts me out of my misery at least! (I should have got that one though )

It's The Mighty Celt. I actually answered this a few days ago, but you must have missed my post. It was driving me nuts for ages. I initially thought it was Mickybo & Me, but I done a bit of snooping around and came across it.

oops didn't see your post. Yes well got.

Mizu Ger is 7 'the dreamcatcher'
5 'on golden pond'?

Correct on both, well spotted.

Purple Tin - sorry, no. That's not right for #4

Not guessing, but wanted to say that I love how this thread has finally made it into the present.. so long 56K modems!

Mizu_Ger

Tomohawk

5 is the back of Emile Hirsch's head in Into The Wild.

7 is Being John Malkovich.
"The symbol on the left is not a letter, sir"; "Damn, you're good".

8 is from The Visitor. I initially thought it might be a trick question, since the djembe is so significant in the film.

All correct. Douglas is also carrying the telltale rabbit cage. :P
Well done, especially for Star Trek IV.

Mizu Ger 5 must be Quiz Show: I haven't seen it since it was released, and I have no recollection of the scene, but it has to be that on the basis of the clue (unless it's something more obscure).

Is the Richard Lynch one The Seven-Ups?

Yeah both of those are correct. The Quiz Show shot is on a visit to Fienne's character's family estate.

Only number 1 left and it has a link to one of your screenshots!

It is the original version, from the first film, though obviously it reappears in the sequels too. Well spotted.
