Directors Guess the Screenshot Challenge! (1 Viewer)

[Ray H]

That Lock, Stock... shot completely threw me!

This one looks like a big break, but I recall the last time this movie was in one of these contests, I accidentally entered the wrong movie title! Hopefully this doesnl't happen this time.

Thanks a lot for playing, everyone! I had a lot of fun. Please
watch for another screenshot game from one of the participants! (and I’m not talking about Steve’s Nude Screenshots!)

 

[Bob Turnbull]

And Thank You Elizabeth...Great scene picks from the films and much fun.

Edit:

Oh, and congrats to whatsisname on winning...

 

[Steve Christou]

I'm flabbergasted. Wow it's over so soon? And I was just getting into my stride.

Thanks Elizabeth for a most enjoyable game! Doubly rewarding for me because most of the films you've been posting shots from aren't exactly my cup of tea. I think only three of the films here I've watched more than once, so beating these guys in this game was a bit of a shocker. Cheers.

 

[JohnRice]

Excellent. I'm only the third biggest loser of the bunch.

Thanks Elizabeth.


FWIW, I was thinking of doing a screenshot contest myself. It's been a while, and I was noting a few to use. If I do it, I'll post a link here before I actually start it.

Anyone who is interested in participating in another contest, please let me know in this thread. If there isn't much interest, I just won't take the time.

 

[Bill McA]

Take the time John

Thanks for the great contest, Elizabeth...wish it would have ran longer!

I'm still thinking of doing one of these myself in the future, I think I've found a way around the inevitable "I've never even heard of that movie" complaining.

 

[Adam_S]

I'm up for challenges, I just hope I hear about them, since I use the User CP to keep track of this thread, haven't been to Polls main page in months.

 

[Elizabeth S]

I will be there for any screenshot contest! (Though you will see again that I'm not much good at the guessing side!) My brain just doesn't file those images away. . .!

 

[Ruz-El]

What???? It's over??? Christou won???

I call shenagins on the whole thing!! That motorcyle diaries boat was from Monty Python and I'm sure I would of gotten the once upon a time in the west!!!!

 

[Ray H]

I'm up for a new game. I used to love these things. They're a good deal of fun. I used to pay special attention to movies just for these games!

 

[Jon_Are]

Fantastic job, Elizabeth.

I've got a contest of my own put together, ready to roll it out tomorrow morning.

I PM'd JohnRice because he expressed interest in running one too.

Does anyone have an issue with more than one running at once, or should we do the one-at-a-time thing?

And don't worry - I already know that I'm MUCH better at running these than I am at winning them.

Jon

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

Dang -- I was just hitting my stride getting the final two shots. I'm always up for a screenshot contest, though, one-at-a-time would be best, I think. I'll check tomorrow for Jon's contest! Thanks for putting this one on, Elizabeth!

 

[Adam_S]

great contest, even if I missed out on a few I knew, crazy busy time period dontcha know.

There was 21 screenshot from 21 film. I watched only 3 films. And I have 6 points. So... I can guess any screeshot from any of the films I saw. That means - COUNT ME IN.
