A, B, Cinema

I've posted collections of DVD screen-grabs before (HERE and HERE) when I've noticed images that adhere to a certain theme or motif recurring in the films I watch... This time I've gathered pics of handwritten words... but, instead, this time I'm making a guessing game out of it. Oh yes, how exciting! Uh, anyway, if you're "game" (HAHA!) guess which films the following pics are from and leave your answers as comments below. I have 2nd clues for some of them; for the remainder, I'll supply some sort of other hints. I suppose a few of these will be a cinch, especially those with character names. Okay, have at it. Sorry - there is no prize!


1) Day of Wrath

All answers are correct so far, you Googling bastards! Will supply additional clues shortly...

4) Notes on a Scandal

Posted by: M. Cusumano at May 12, 2008 07:34 PM

20. Singles?

Posted by: spartickes at May 13, 2008 12:03 AM

Yes, #4 is Notes on a Scandal.

As for #20 -- oh, so so close! I mean, imagine the worst movie of the Gen-X 90s...

17. Pasqualino Settebellezze (Seven Beauties)

But I'm mostly guessing on that one.

20) Reality Bites

Posted by: Anonymous at May 13, 2008 06:45 AM

20 is Reality BItes - that is Janeane Garofalo list of guys she slept with.

Posted by: VS at May 13, 2008 07:09 AM

#20 is Reality Bites

Posted by: Curtis at May 13, 2008 10:59 AM

#20- Reality Bites

Posted by: Mojo the Helper Monkey at May 13, 2008 11:35 AM

Well, #20 is a list of men someone slept with, I would think, if that helps anyone. What's that other movie, Swingers?

Posted by: Barbara at May 13, 2008 06:24 PM

Yes, #20 is Reality Bites, one of the most reprehensible films of the last 25 years.

JS, Seven Beauties is a great guess -- but wrong. The woman who made this film was French.

Posted by: Jeffrey at May 13, 2008 06:51 PM

Okay, more clues given above for the few titles remaining unguessed.

Posted by: Jeffrey at May 13, 2008 07:21 PM

#3 is Dark Water?

Posted by: Joe at May 14, 2008 03:12 PM

Joe: Good guess, but... no!

Posted by: Jeffrey at May 14, 2008 07:02 PM

waitaminute...isn't #13 from Killer's Kiss??

Posted by: Tyler at May 31, 2008 06:47 PM

Yes! #13 is Kubrick's Killer's Kiss...

And I've named the remaining titles as well.

Thanks to everyone for playing along.
