Yep, another frickin' movie stills quiz. With a few differences this time, though.
See, the thing that has always bugged me about the previous such quizzes was that I was stuck using whatever stills I could find online, whether they were too obvious, too obscure, too boring or what have you, and then had to go scrambling to find replacements when the images I linked to vanished into thin air.
This time, I have the means to capture my own frames (thanks,
issendai!), which I've done over the last several weeks, grabbing shots from my own collection with occasional dips into
rafaela's half. (This will mean a bit of repetition of titles from previous games, although I've used completely different stills in all cases.)
And did I mention that it's a contest this time?
Here's how it works: I've selected images from a total of 52 movies, which I've divided into four sets of 13, rather than try to image-dump them into one big browser-crashing bohemoth. Rather than the usual free-for-all, each of these four sets is set up as a text-entry poll. Your task is to identify the movie for each still if you can, and enter its title in the blank immediately below it. (Don't forget to click the "Submit" button when you're done.) The person who correctly identifies the most movies in all—for all four parts combined—will be the Grand Poobah Winner of Awesomeness. I am refraining an offer of a prize, since I have a bad habit of not following through on such things (
prairieflower, your CDs are in the car right now, I swear), but you will receive major bragging rights, possibly accompanied by a personalized icon you may use to demonstrate to the world just how awesome you are.
Please note: I've generally avoided the obvious in selecting these stills, but many of them do contain small hints if you look closely. If you don't recognize an image at first glance, give it a few moments, paying attention to background and fine details. You're not penalized for a wrong answer, so feel free to make educated guesses.
Without further ado, I present Part I; parts II through IV will follow shortly. Good luck!
EDIT: All four parts have now been posted.
