I think it's common not to allow edits if you want credit.

also I was able to automate everything except extracting the links from imgur how do I do that? I only used it because postimage isn't loading for me but I think you can scroll through shots on postimage which are labelled with dates I took them...

30. Ten Dark Women?

[jvv]

20. The Beach ?

[Melvelet]

10.Umi to dokuyaku (1986) aka The Sea and Poison

[serri]

30. Ten Dark Women?

that took some skill woh.

20. The Beach ?

sorry, jvv.

10.Umi to dokuyaku (1986) aka The Sea and Poison

well you would get it, wouldn't you.

[serri]

thinking about doing a few more, would people prefer I exclude movies that are in other quizzes or could those potentially act as "clues" and jog the memory.

[sortile9io]

Don't exclude.

[CMT]

30. Ten Dark Women?

that took some skill woh.

Saw it last week during a free screening for the Japanese Film Festival.

Edit" Also I'll guess for 23 My Little Chickadee

[Knaldskalle]

"Not for perverts" he says - and then shows a picture of WC Fields!

Da noive!

sorry no on 23.

23. The Old Fashioned Way?

[Lammetje]

12. Gaslight?
15. Touch of Evil?
24. The Awful Truth?

[Noirville]

I recognize #24 and for whatever reason my intuition tells me it's the 1930's Dracula?

#23. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?
#10. Seconds?(??)
#5. Videodrome?(????)

[Lonewolf2003]

24. The Thin Man?

sry!

I don't know when I'm supposed to give hints (at least after I've posted other quizzes with some overlap) but Ithink it's ok to confirm 23 depicts WC Fields and his shoes.

I do like the way you think on 10 and 5.

24. The Thin Man?

nah. there's a dog in that right?

[serri]

23. The Old Fashioned Way?

no on this as well.

[serri]

ok these are the first hints, no more until I've dropped at least another quiz with some overlap

china 2
france 5
greece 2
hong kong 4
hungary 1
india 1
italy 2
japan 4
poland 1
portugal 1
skorea 1
uk 1
usa 7

2 set outside main country of origin
1 is supposedly set in an unknown location

Nobody tried #4 yet, so let me:
Anatomie d'un rapport ??

[serri]

luc moullet successfully identified but incorrect film. answer is almost unfairly obscure tho.

I'm glad I got the director right at least.
I have seen 5 of his movies, but this shot is not from one of the other 4, so I guess I haven't seen it.

[serri]

some of these are included specifically because I know that although they are obscure, at least one person on this forum has seen it. unfortunately I do not know if they regularly participate in screenshot quizzes...

some of these I have no clue if people have seen.

[serri]

I'll put together one that maximizes overlap and then use the ones left with the most checks next.

[Jay Mars]

Another guess for the W.C Fields in #23: You Can't Cheat an Honest Man

[serri]

nah...

I would think some members of this forum would be jumping out of their chairs to guess 5, 28 and 31.

18 Gan

[serri]

post edited, thanks for playing!

[tirefeet]

18 Gan

I've seen that one too but if I had to guess I'd say it is from some Naruse, wouldn't know which one Wasn't Gan the one that has some close shots to Takamine's bosom?

[serri]

what is good minimum number of checks for a screenshot game? I'll try better next time but it may take me a while to see some popular movies

[funkybusiness]

Well, I managed to get a film with 3809 checks and one with 48, so. Somewhere in that range. maybe.

[Pretentious Hipster]

Is it cool if I potentially steal your thunder and make an image quiz myself?

[serri]

isn't there someone else that does that here?

adding additional shots, stay tuned. these won't be thematic tho I could probably pull that off if I tried.
