Has anyone made any headway with this. I think I'm about 3/10 ths of the way through the first part, but progress is slow.

Kingsley and I are collaborating and are up to 4. BUT IT'S LIKE PULLING TEETH. She can't access this part of the forum at present, so I'll have to be her spokesperson. She is convinced the red one is a film called "The Oven" (complete with fried egg)

I'm impressed! My mind is almost a total blank on these. The red one is the only one I do know. But I've never been much of a film buff
I could trade

The one on which you can actually still read the caption (top right on the website page) is the only one I have for this so far. I haven't really tried yet though, but I don't think I'm going to like this one as much as another movie poster one I have seen of Scurra's though...

Anyone know where I can start looking for the answers to these posters. I've done some searching on the web but zilch

I'm not a movie goer so am stumped

I think on this one I'd have to send my list and have you fill in the blanks. (There's only that one non-blank still!

)

Katsmom I goggle imaged famous actors with the words film poster. Some I just googled famous films' names to see what the posters were like. They are quite well known in general (I don't get to the cinema either) still stuck on two.

I'm amazed anyone can make anything from the movie posters - well done to those that have got some or all of them.
Anybody tell me the lead actor in the films to give me a chance.

It wasnt intended that way. There was so much talk about dancing on this forum that I thought this would be fun. He brings back memories of my nephew dancing on the table when he was about 18months old - and makes me laugh - even when I'm struggling with the puzzles
