compliments !
Vassilis Makris- Taxi Driver
Tawni Shaylin- Donnie Darko
Neringa Greiciute- Royal Tenenbaums
Ian Caulkett- Requiem for a Dream
Joe- I recognize Tom Waits and the movie but I’m too proud to go IMDB it
Wayne Webb- RESERVOIR DOGS.
Carole- Thank You For Smoking
Aaaaaand that’s all I got :]
Joseph Sobel- Moive-Blazzing Saddles and the Actor is Cleavon Little.
The one by Neringa Greiciute is from the Royal Tenenbaums I believe, and from Ian Caulkett is Requiem for a Dream, and Carole’s is Thank You for Smoking perhaps.
pretty darn good so far, but there’s alot of toughies in there.
Greiciute – Doctor Strangelove, Joe’s I think is Down by Law….
AW where’d my submission go?
Noor Issa- gael garcia bernal in “motorcycle diaries”
Nicole Malinowski- britney spears in the “gimme more” video
Wayne Webb (2)- the actress is monica vitti. i think the movie is “the eclipse”
clock work orange
Really neat idea, I’ll submit one maybe tomorrow.
Hey cool, (Gere Gerrits) is that Short Circuit?
royal tenenbaums is right.
but to guess the other ones, not mentioned ones, is pretty twisted.
first ones gattaca?
taxi driver, donnie darko, bananas, i guess
haha that does look like the dude in Short Circuit, that would be amazing if it was! we need Gere to verify! Melissa is amazing at this!
Gattaca is correct as well Austin! nice
I would like to see someone get that one that Twan submitted haha i would never recognize that character (he told me who it was)
also apologies for the comments showing up randomly, if youve never commented before it automatically gets held to guard against spam.
also huge props to Rhianna!
is the one by Jeff Hamada the clock work orange?
You are right Findlay its from Short Circuit 1! God i love that movie.
Josh Stone: the actor is Jean-Pierre Léaud. The movie could be Domicile Conjugale or Baiser Volés but not sure.
I think perhaps the first one is Gattaca…? It reminded me of it, at least!
I’m pretty sure the Tom Waits one is Down By Law.
Jean de TREMONTELS – Blade Runner
Great contest Jeff.
hamada, is yours Dear Wendy? looks a lot like it…although ive only watched it once with you, so i dunnnnnnnno
cheers andrew, dear wendy and blade runner are correct!
Neringa Greiciute – Hilmir Snær Guðnason in 101 Reykjavík.
Markus Howald- once upon a time in mexico
Jacque- big
Clif Reagle- don rickles in casino
Hilda Bravo!
Tom waits in down by law
Gwyneth Paltrow in The Royal Tenenbaums
and there is Woody Allen in The Sleeper, i think.
First time here! Yay…
Anywhooooo, what a nice idea this is! I love them. The results are outstanding. Some good film choices too
rhianna and Angelica J. M., it’s right, it’s Thank Your For Smoking.
i did this onceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee when i was lil’ and i got my firt digi~cameraaa and i took pics of everything i could
too bad i dont still have those YAH?
I know someone has to be cooking up a Big Lebowski shot right now.
^ haha literally the next submission i opened was The Dude. maybe someone just fullfilled your request!
The Dude Abides
Is Philip Maniaci: Shogun Assassin?
nicely done Alice!
Big!
Yes Alice it is. I had a feeling that would be a hard one to get, kudos to you.
Klaus’ pic is terrifying.
Thanks, and it’s a great film. I think that everyone should watch it at least once, if not more.
Klaus Bohms; Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel in Electroma!
Adam Wilson: Shredder, gotta love the ninja turtles.
Scott Radnidge – royal tanenbaums
Yeah definitely, that movie was awesome. Also I’m loving the Shredder picture from Adam Wilson.
Sofie Verhulst = Could be East of Eden
Scott Radnidge is a really cool shot

First Blood (1982)
Director, Ted Kotcheff

man, I was so excited to see this project today, I love screen captures! Have a whole trove of them in my computer with the hopes of doing something artistic with them someday.
Anyway, lets see if someone can guess mine (Laura Straka) heh heh. If anything, this project has given me a list of movies to check out…fun idea Jeff!
Tara Weber: Trainspotting?!?!
you’re correct Alice!
Findlay is that Flight of the Navigator??
Yet another great movie, but no, It isn’t Flight of the Navigator I’m afraid.
tara weber – trainspotting
Honey, I Shrunk The Kids?
Findaly… Explorers. Yes?
Many are already IDd (particularly the ones I’d be prouder of knowing) but…
Also saw Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
findlay: Explorers.
Findlay, that’s The Explorers! What a great movie. Isn’t that Ethan Hawke?
Your Favorite: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
EXPLORERS!!! [1985] Directed by Joe Dante, starring a young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix. I love this film very much and a word must be said about the score by Jerry Goldsmith – wonderful.
I was watching “Basic Instinct” on the telly and found that Jerry Goldsmith used the same sort of sounds and arrangements in composing its score. It didn’t fit that movie at all. I guess that’s my own personal judgment, which from a comparisons view is rather biased. But yeah…
GO BOOOOOOOM!
Jean de TREMONTELS is Blade Runner, her name is Sean Young or something
Frank I think is First Blood
Jacque is Big with Tom Hanks
Twan is From Mad Max the road warrior “Condelini wants his hand back”
Tawni Shaylin Donnie Darko

Previous posts have answered most of these.
my fave still has to be Neringa Greiciute’s pic… although I’m lovin the Desperately Seeking Susan one… with a little dash of Top Gun…
laura was yours To Die For? (lizzie’s guess)
i haven’t seen that, worth watching?
Yes, it is To Die For, Lizzie has a good eye…
The movie is a bit uneven, but it’s entertaining and has some great memorable moments. Definitely one of Nicole Kidman’s best roles…she’s really chilling and creepy as a vapid, soulless local weather-woman who’ll do anything to become famous…
Haley Brown’s pic is Rick Moranis in Little Shop of Horrors.
maybe ill check it out, it was Gus van sant wasn’t it?
- nice lizzie
so what’s left?
did anyone confirm Josh Stone’s pic?
i wonder where my portrait is :\
From the 17/2 ‘Josh Stone: the actor is Jean-Pierre Léaud. The movie could be Domicile Conjugale or Baiser Volés but not sure.’
it could also be Amour a vingt ans, defo one of the Antoine Doinel series.
If I have go through my box set tonight and find the right scene, damn it I will!
are you posting more pics jeff?
i dont have any more in my inbox – anne you could try to email me direct
there is another project set to start very soon.
three new ones!
Oh thank god, I was afraid these celebrities weren’t getting enough attention.
oh thank God, I was afraid everyone understood this was just for fun.
good job!
ah, guess i’m too late :-\
thanx anyways
Lizzie is quite the movie buff.
i will get my shit together soon and start getting involved.. no excuse.. i have actually taken a few screen shots.. too late to submit i suppose.. fool.
