Killer of Sheep looks terrifying. Do you recommend it, Asher?

I would definitely recommend it, but I wouldn't suggest that you look forward to a terrifying movie. It's not that at all. The person in the mask is actually just a cute little girl watching her dad try to fix the sink. It's a pretty quiet, slow movie that gives you a picture of this one man's life.

heh, lucky guess. I've never seen Malcolm X :). I was leaning towards LA Confidential but knew that wasn't right.

I was going to say Malcolm X based on all the black people in the shot and I've never even seen Malcolm X.

Yeah, whatever. Argo, I want another set of stills, please. And how do you go about picking them?

yay! Minnie and Moscowitz is right!

I'm going to go ahead and call the game now. Thanks for playing.

1- Killer of Sheep
2- Lost Highway
3- Pusher II
4- Harakiri
5- Branded to Kill
6- Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
7- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
8- Le Deuxieme Souffle
9- El Angel Exterminador
10- Broken Flowers
11- I Walked with a Zombie
12- Children of Men
13- Bullitt
14- Le Trou
15- Malcolm X
16- Pierrot Le Fou
17- Hallelujah!
18- Gomorrah
19- Minne and Moscowitz
20- Blue Valentine

I thought the remaining two would be the most difficult, actually. #5 because it's kind of a random still. I was going to grab one of the main character but that shot stood out to me so I went with it. And I knew #17 would be difficult because not a lot of people have seen that movie. It's a great movie, though, with a couple of truly tremendous scenes, including the one I grabbed the still from.

How did I pick the stills? I chose movies that I liked, especially if they are somewhere in the middle between obscure and well-known, with some of these definitely falling pretty far on the side of well-known. I picked stills that looked good by themselves, and would indicate something about the larger movie they're from. For example, the tattoo on the guy's head in Pusher II, the institutional place and barbed in the back of the Cuckoo's Nest shot, or Fassbinder himself drinking beer in the Ali: Fear Eats the Soul shot.

Lime, I'm not sure how long it will take me to come up with 20 more stills, since I made half of these a long time ago, and I made the other half on my lunch breaks with library DVDs. It's a slow process because I am currently sans a good computer. So, if you like the idea, I'd encourage you or someone else to put together a quiz of their own.

This is a great game, Asher, and it went farther than other threads have in helping me craft a bigger netflix queue. The way that I process things means that words can only go so far in helping me decide whether or not I will like a film. Film is, after all, a visual medium. It only makes sense to me that a glimpse of what a film looks like might tell me a thing or two about the value of the film.

That's an interesting notion, probably especially true because these aren't the typical commercial or advertising or poster or DVD cover images associated with these movies.
