Most screen shots from films are probably screen captures from a DVD.
The picture must be on the web and cannot be referenced from your own computer (c:/documents and settings/username/desktop) If you have a pic, PM Packy and ask him if you can put it on the server to use as your sig.

I just scanned an old blurry pic, and sent it to Packy.
Instant sig!
Do it.

If you don't have your own webspace then you can send (e-mail) to another member with webspace or to Parker Clack where he can put it up.

I heard that you can link to pictures from GeoCities if you put them on GeoCities as .txt files. They are read as images, even though they have .txt extensions. If you want to frequently change your sig, you could do this.

OH yeah baby!!!!! Now that's what I'm talkin about. Thanks guys!!

Except if you use up your bandwidth quota, you'll get a red x in your sig, surely?

I dunno. I'm not saying I've actually tried this, just that I heard it works. Let's test it out:
Here is a pic from my GeoCities account that was saved as .txt:

Same reason BrianB pointed out - bandwidth usage. Once you've reached your bandwidth quota for the given period (day?) your sig disappears...
