Movie Stills

For some light entertainment, how about some movies? Look at these screencaps from well (and not so well) known movies and tell us the title. Most of the pictures should be easy prey but there are some trickier ones in there as well. Go give them a try!

  6. eszpee :

    OK, trying not to spoil the fun but help too:

    4. Richard Dreyfuss and Harrison Ford in the same movie
    6. It’s from a futuristic Australia
    7. Steve McQueen and Paul Newman
    15. You’re as lost on a highway as on a drive to a little mountain town
    16. Mr. Governor has a little brother

    20. Well, he didn’t get the title for playing here, but at least not another action role for him
    28. Mars attacks this little village on the night before Christmas!

    Hmm. You really shouldn’t ask me for hints. :)

  7. Red red red :

    aszpee, are you sure about 28? I know the title and have seen the movie - a long ago - but i remember a different story…

    (Your hints were nice, too, got some 6-7 more now.)

  8. RichieRace :

    OK I’m stumped on 12, 15, 23, and 28. Any help/clues (non cryptic!) would be appreciated. Cheers.

  9. David :

    Hi! I’ve got them all except for #23, regarding which I have absolutely no clue at all.

    A hint would be greatly appreciated!

  10. Red red red :

    RichieRace/David, here are some:

    12: The creator of the original needed a sharpener.

    23: 80’s. Travolta’s female self.

    28: cutoff head… fainted doc… eating tree… Bizzarre…

  11. Red red red :

    Is it important what the small sucker is throwing in #21? I can’t see what that white thing is… or is it only bad image quality?

  12. odicin :

    another hint for 23: wannabe ballet dancer works in a steelwork

    @Red red red: i think so. i know also the title and i think there was a different story…

    Need hints for 9,12,19,21,27

  13. Erpan :

    Hints:

    7: a movie, that used to be as hot - in its heydays - as fire.

    9: Yes, Lucas at his best…
    10: the film that boasted to be “the first computer rendered film”. Meaning, most of its scenes were really made with computers - somwghere way back in the eighties.

    12: See comment #10 for hint. Also: the star of the film is a top hot actor, although famous for slyghtly different films…

    15: no hint for this one - i don’t know it either :((((

    17: Sci-fi, a cult movie. One of the main guys in it is better known from records, casettes and cd’s…

    19: This movie is simply wild… Wild…

    21: me, myself would do with some hints, too…

    27: A top movie of like 7 years ago, with one of the sweetest titles ever!

    7: 70s thriller (eszpees tip really gives it away)
    8: classic civil war epos (won 8 oscars)
    10: race a bike inside a computer
    17: features huges worms
    30: you’ll need a flux-capacitor to solve this one ;)

  17. freakzz :

    still at loss with 15,12 (damn I KNOW that movie). grrrrr…

    21 & 27 — it helps to save the pics on your harddrive and to “blow” them up. for me that was the only way to recognise geena and the guy doin’ stifler’s mom ;)

  18. freakzz :

    15. the same guy also did 17.

    still missing 12 (grrrrrr…)

  19. Red red red :

    freakzz,

    12 is a sci-fi classic - not as a movie, but a different genre, back in the really old days. It *drew* a lot of attention then…

  20. UnHoly :

    I don’t have 2, 5, 7, 11, 23, 27. Some hints maybe??

  21. trasher123 :

    Hints:

    2: Woody Allen and an earlier classic film put together.

    5: Guy’s life gets all fucked up, decides to go to the gambling capital to die, meets girl there.

    7: Can’t give you more hints on that really. The hosts would really *fire* me…

    15: I don’t know about this one either.

    21: Ditto :(

    23: Thunderballet.

    27: How to do food…

  23. eszpee :

    15: This is definetly not The Straight Story
    21: Yes, the little white thing is very important. To be precise: that’s the title of the movie.

    Hope I could help - sorry that i’m not too direct, I don’t want to make it too easy :)

  24. Hightower201 :

    Hello, i just miss 12. and 28. can anyone give me some more hints, i don`t even have a clue.

  25. Hightower201 :

    And 9. lucas at its best ? Any Film i try is wrong! wich part of the official title is needed to solve this? I tried any way! Please help.

  26. Red red red :

    12: The story is the usual stuff: cop framed, fights his way back until truth revealed and glory regained. The settings are, however, rather strange… Futurisic, I would say.

    28: Young doc goes to little village meets Headless Hell…

    9: I’m still confused as to how manieth part that actually is…

  27. Hightower201 :

    Thanks for your help, I got all the Titles now!
    at 9. i tried the new instead of the old titles, arghhhh!

  28. eszpee :

    Congratulations, Hightower, but beware, the second part is coming in a day or so! :)

  29. Red red red :

    Will the solutions ever be public? If so, when/where?

    (Applies to the other quizzes also)

  30. Willy Vonka :

    Hmm, any more hints on 20? The only one I couldn’t get.

  31. Red red red :

    Willy, great hint for #20 at comment #6, you only have to decode it. A basically very funny film about a not-at-all funny topic.

  32. Erpan :

    Finally got all titles! Thanks for your clues. Does anyone need some help?

  33. StoEpz0r :

    Eszpee, you were most defenitely wrong about 28, shame on you… Your “hint” got me looking in the wrong direction, thx to Red red red for that one (or, we’re all just not smart enough to decypher your cryptic hints: :P)

  34. Stiffler :

    StoEpz0r - think “Director/Producer” for Eszpee’s clue for 28.

    Now. Can somebody please help me with 15? Thanks to Eszpee, I’ve hit on the director. But as for the movie???

  35. Red red red :

    As for eszpee’s hint on 28… I don’t think hints should be so complicated that they are more likely to mislead than help… Or is it just me??? :))))

  36. ses :

    Red red red - we’re not planning to publish solutions just yet. Others are still coming in, let them have their own frustrating fun :) Plus you konw almost all of them anyway :D

    Stiffler - for 15, consider that we did not want to publish the picture of two ladies involved in an intensive foreplay ;)

  37. Red red red :

    OK, ses, I just wanted to know if they ever will be public.

  38. Stiffler :

    Ses,

    Would you say that the ladies were sisters?

    If thats right, then I know what it is but cannot get the site to recognise it. I’ve even tried including the subtitle on the film - no joy.

  39. ses :

    Stiffler - I should hope not. :) But if your idea has something to do with an address, you will soon see the light :)

  40. Red red red :

    And, if you find out the title of 15, wiould you care to give me some sophisticated hints - like the title of the film, or the like? :)))) I’m hopeless there…

  41. Erpan :

    Red, if you drive around in LA maybe you’ll find the right address..

  42. Stiffler :

    God I’m so stupid.

    I thought it might have been Twin Peaks after ses’s clue @ #36. My bad for thinking TOO cryptically.

    Then it turns out I was mis-spelling my first guess. D’oh.

    Anyway, all done now.
    Thanks for the diversion.

  43. HerrieM :

    Is still need some hints for 10 and 14

    Also could someone just tell me the answer for 9 because i’m getting sick of that one

  44. HerrieM :

    sorry i now only need 9 and 10

    (that stupid boat)

  45. ses :

    HerrieM,

    another hint for 10: the title is shorter than an electron… :)

  46. HerrieM :

    Ses,
    thanks for the hint.

    If got them all now

  47. mr. flibble :

    cant get 11 or 25

    a guy with a gun, two guys in suits… hmm, doesnt narrow it down really

  48. Red red red :

    11: A very controversial movie, many thoguht the director tried to “advertise” violence and crime.

    25: A very controversial movie, the most famous of those that tried to tell us: people with a fatal disease (THAT one) are still people with dignity.

  49. HerrieM :

    25: also an american city

  50. Red red red :

    + a soundtrack that either gave the famous musician an Oscar, or at least a big hit… (I can”t remember exactly. Did the soundtrack win an Oscar?)

  51. HerrieM :

    yes, it did win bruce a oscar

  52. Red red red :

    A well deserved one…

  53. Add1ct :

    9. episode 5

  54. Karl :

    11: Mickey and Mallory are the protagonists of that movie, (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis), that should be enough to solve it. Rather modern movie, although the picture suggests an old b/w movie.
    25: Oscar-winning performance by the leading actor (als known from “Bachelor Party”)
    15: yeah, right, I tried every variation of Twin Peaks, but it is the wrong movie. But the director is the same.
    28: not that hard, Christina Ricci is also in that movie.

  55. Karl :

    by the way,
    thanks to the hints I managed to solve them all. I got a bit confused when I first got 21 and thought I had 19 titles missing until I found out that the movie stills quiz does not have 40 pics like the computer games screenshot quiz.
    Nice one, a lot easier than the computer games screenshot quiz.
    Now onto the next quiz.

  56. wood :

    OK, I’m totally stuck on #2. No idea.

    The hint for 15 and the white thing on the table being the title? That lost me, but the two ladies…

  57. Red red red :

    wood,

    can you identify the man on the left of #2? If you can, the solution is easy, this is one of his top films, try them, soon one is bound to be the right one.

  58. Holm :

    I’m still blocked on no. 12 …
    Can anyone spare another hint?

  59. Holm :

    Ah…nevermind. Got it.
    I KNEW I’d seen that ugly sucker before :)))

  60. lokki :

    ok im stuck on 12 and 15. on number 15 did the dvd come out with two covers? (both personalities) and 12 i know ive seen it recently but……

  61. lokki :

    Doh! #15 be sure not to abreviate, now just need 12

  62. KG187 :

    I’ve gotten everyone but #12…I’ve seen the previous hints and spent way too much time searching for matches on google to figure this out and I got nothing…somebody please throw me a bone!

  63. HerrieM :

    hint for 12: “One man is ….., Jury, AND Executione”

  64. BK :

    much kudos for giving props to #15 by including it, its a very easy picture for those who have seen it, and its a TREMENDOUSLY good film, and I’m tempted to give it away just to encourage you all to go see it, but ill let the agony erase your heads until you figure out who directed it (at which point its easy ;-))

  65. sammantha :

    i think there should bee a test on wich movie star you are like

  66. mopozz :

    Yo! Ya vse otgadal) vsem russkim suda za podskazkami!

  70. mr skin :

    Sweet! There are actual plans to make a 4th Indian Jones movie! I wonder when it’s coming out?

  71. Arbiter :
