Yaarrrrrrrr! It be September the nineteenth, and ye be knowin' wot that is or I'll 'ave to be tying ye up for a good keelhauling. Rey be skulking around the house with a touch of scurvy, but not to worry.
In the meantimes, whilst yer waitin' for some good entertainment like an old walk o' the plank, here be a quiz for ye.

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.

And I won't be taking no guesses from me own crew.*

Wow, not bad at all, but it's spelled Excalibur. I'm impressed! I didn't think of getting a shot of Wheel of Fish... I should've done a still from the Dire Straits parody music video...

5: Monty Python?

6: Ghostbusters?

9: Mirrormask!!

10: David Bowie's tightpants Labyrinth

17: uhhh... fifth element, I think?

18: Cats don't dance?

That's Bowie in #19, too. All right except #5, That's the most awesome Merlin ever from the movie Excalibur, which is exactly the type of film the Monty Python Holy Grail film was trying to parody. It is not the Tim the enchanter. You should totally see Excalibur, just for this version of Merlin. He's fantastic. Completely batshit insane.

Is 20 the Maltese Falcon?

[reymonkey.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I thought nobody'd get that. I love the secretary.

I'm disappointed nobody can get #1 though.

I was all "dang I don't know that OH YES I DO IT'S THE SECRETARY!"

Unfortunately, I'm not getting any such mojo on #1. :/

It's not the best shot of her, really.

Damn. somebody's gotta know it. That's the main cast there and everything.

[takhys]

Oh! It's the old Hitchhikers Guide movie!

[reymonkey.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Finally. I stand by the old BBC production, didn't like the new one so much. It was okay halfway through and then suddenly it turned into some kind of romance flick? Grr.

All the same, you ought to give a key when everyone's had their guesses. I'm disappointed no one's gotten sixteen.

I KNOW THEM ALL BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME. :3

I guess I need to do this thing now.
