Post your favorite images from your favorite movies.

My favorite movie is Blade Runner (Final Cut).

I use Stremio, their splash screens are amazing...

So many iconic scenes. I'm going with these, maybe lesser recognized scrots...

Wes Anderson posts are forbidden, agreed? Tim Burton is questionable, Terry Gilliam's cool, Lynch is an imperfect god.

hhh · 2018-07-20 11:11:25

OK. A very imperfect god, an amateur in this case. Still my second favorite Lynch film.

Can't say it's one of my favorite movies, but it's one of my fav screenshots from movies that is still up in my gallery.

Imagine I've also posted few screen caps from the movie Melancholia by Lars von Trier.

Nearly every scene in both Bladerunner movies are epic.

2001: A Space Odyssey , and there would be a link to actual 70mm negative scans (yet to be found).
P.s. just finished reading https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/books … asterpiece (and realized I actually met the books author once or twice)

Meantime, Kyle and Stan making faces at old/sick people

The Thing (1982). I know it's great, I forgot how great the first sixty seconds is.

I really need to watch that.

^ Dude...

It's shallow yet profound, it's camp, it's dark, it's eighties, It. Is. AWESOME!

-edit- Easily Carpenter's best, I'd argue. If you prefer another over it it's probably for sentimental/nostalgic reasons.

^ I have a soft spot for Escape From New York. Snake Plissken, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasance, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton, Ernest Borgnine, and Adrienne Barbeau.

Special Guest Appearance by Adrienne Barbeau's tits. Scrot to follow...

^That was probably the best acting I've ever seen in a movie. I prefer the scene though when he arrives at the daytime-meeting (ahem, "group therapy session") of the bad guys.

hhh · 2018-07-25 23:39:22

^^ Yeah, that one is pretty epic. Him banging on the controller and then waddling away in his Crocs when it finally blows is hysterical.

Repo Man is one of my all time favorites! I know a lot of the American references have become fairly universal, like Otto's angry list of early 70's TV shows, but some of them are very specific to early 80's American commercialism and technology, such as the generic products in stores, like the six-pack branded "BEER", which became a real thing for a few years, and the neutron bomb.

An example is the 7-Up jingle the store clerk is singing at the beginning...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S8CDOBASN4

There are also many self-references/oddities, of course, like the speech about "plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp". Later, The Rodriguez brothers are seen at night sipping their sodas in frustration in front of a diner with a window sign advertising their Plate-O-Shrimp.

"It's all part of the plan."

I love the soundtrack.

Harry Dean Stanton, has he ever turned in a bad performance? He is excellent in this film, as always.

*angrily* Let's go do the crimes!

*nervously* Yeah! Yeah, let's get sushi... and not pay!

Escape from New York (1981, John Carpenter). When lighting, color and slow pacing meant something.

I don't have the films on hand to scrot from, but a lot of the Hitchcock films had stunning, wallpaper-worthy scenes, particularly those featuring architecture and interior decor/design. Vertigo and North By Northwest in particular.

Edit:
Hah, seems I'm not the only one with that opinion;
