CINEMA GALLERY: September 2011

Another unusual set of frame grabs for my ongoing CINEMA GALLERY (which you can visit in full here--by now there must be at least 400 entries!). As always, click on the frame you want to see writ large. As always (at least these days), see if you can guess the movies from which these frames hail. The answers, corresponding to the numbered photos, are at the end of the post.

Wow, I didn't know you were still doing this, Dean. So many great images - and of course there's an infinite supply. Love the Foxy Brown cap especially.

I'm doing a sort of video equivalent of this starting tomorrow on my blog - I tried to contact you in a group email I sent out just now but the address I had for you didn't work.

It's an audiovisual chronological through about 350 films, I thought you'd get a kick out of it since you seem to respond similarly to me to these types of things. I'm hoping people will either be introduced to some of my selections or (as with someone like you whose probably seen most of them) enjoy rewatching great cinema moments (and maybe a few not-so-great) and share your thoughts on the films in question.

The intro's up at my site and the first post will go around 7am. Hopefully you're around (I know this post's a few wks old but I know I've gone months without posting and still hovered nearby) but either way, check it out when you get the chance.

And I'll have to catch up with the latest gallery entries - can I take a little credit for kicking this off with that meme last year? Either way, man, you took it and ran a friggin' marathon; nice job...

Great American in Paris cap too. A trade secret (shhh): I will be writing on that film in October for the Wonders musical countdown.
