I'm both pretentious AND lowbrow! How do I do it?

Stoled from calamityjon and spinooti, among others, and presented with apologies to my gal ninafarina, who hates memes like I hates okra.

1. Pick 20 films you love/thoroughly enjoyed.
2. Find screen captures (stills) for each film. If you can't find a still, pick a new movie.
3. Post the pictures with the rules; let your readers guess from what movie each still is.

You beat me to it. Still, I'll guess some genericus hasn't gotten...

1. Adaptation
3. I wanna say Barton Fink, but I couldn't tell you why.
6. I recognize this, I swear to god.
19. The Third Man

Also, that's totally Patrick Swayze in 2. Don't know what it is, but I'm telling you. Swayze.

[ludickid]

Nope. Not Swayze. Pervert.

Dude. I'd recognize those knees anywhere.

Also, have I told you my little theory about "The Shining?" I think Kubrick made the sets hideously ugly intentionally, as a little fuck-you to the audience. I mean, you could chalk it up to bad 70s interior design, but sticking it to the audience is very much Kubrick's style: c.f. "Clockwork Orange."

Triple DING!, but "I recognize this, I swear to god" won't cut it. I would be surprised, but not too surprised, if you'd seen #6.

[tritium]

No, really, I just know at 3 a.m. it'll come to me.

Um... "The Brain that Wouldn't Die?"

[ludickid]

That's close, in the sense of being totally wrong.

[tritium]

Oh, wait, "La Jetee?" No... "Alphaville?" I FUCKING KNOW THIS

[ludickid]

#6 is not La Jetee.
