Rules:
First to complete the challenge (15 points) wins, based on posting time stamp. Ranking based on points and posting time.
You may report your progress in your regular postings covered by a spoiler (don't share your guesses before final submission). Shout when you post your final submission - no second chance for stills guesses.
Once a still has been correctly guessed by a poster, it cannot count anymore for any other poster (guess others).
Report films you watched for each task - a film can only count for one task.
I will participate but not compete (obviously).
