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.

CINEMA GALLERY August 2011--25 New Frames

I tried to make a creepily unsettling entry here for the CINEMA GALLERY this month. These 25 frames just SHOULD NOT go together. But here they are. As always, click on the frame you want to see large-like. These make GREAT screen backgrounds. And remember to visit the entire gallery HERE. Have fun, film fans, and see if you can guess the movies these frames hail from. The answers are at the end of the post!
