Think You Know Film... ?
via guardian.co.uk : Thanks to Derek
Presumably (read: "unmistakably") inspired by that awesome 35 Movies in 2 Minutes video that made the rounds a couple months back, The Guardian kicks off "Film Season" with a new challenge for your inner film nerd: 26 Movies. 85 seconds. Go!
My votes (noting the starting point of each):
- 0:06 - Bond, James Bond
- 0:07 - Edward Scissorhands
- 0:10 - UPDATED - From Russia With Love (courtesy of RobT, thanks!)
- 0:13 - Up
- 0:15 - Passion of the Christ (or any other crucifixion movie, I guess)
- 0:17 - The Godfather
- 0:20 - The Usual Suspects
- 0:24 - The Birds (could this be any easier?!)
- 0:26 - The Crow?
- 0:27 - Back to the Future
- 0:28 - The Big Lebowski
- 0:32 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- 0:34 - ????
- 0:36 - ????
- 0:40 - Airplane
- 0:42 - ????
- 0:43 - UPDATED - Shawshank Redemption (courtesy of RobT, thanks!)
- 0:46 - ????
- 0:49 - Lost Highway
- 0:52 - ????
- 0:54 - ???? (the bullet shooting out again reminded me of a Bond opening)
- 0:56 - American Beauty
- 0:57 - The Blair Witch Project
- 1:00 - The Matrix
- 1:02 - Pan's Labyrinth
- 1:03 - Singing in the Rain
- 1:08 - UPDATED - Ben Hur (so says, RobT in the comments. Gladiator is right as well; but newer - so point to Ben Hur)
- 1:11 - The Silence of the Lambs
- 1:13 - Borat
- 1:17 - Groundhog's Day
Apparently I found 4 extra movies along the way :)
Counter the guesses above and fill in the blanks in the comments.

I'll give you credit for Ben Hur; because it does precede Gladiator by quite a few years :)THE MISSION for 0:15 -- really?
