Picture 1

Darth Vader defiantly. I'm shooting for chatting to Boba Fett in Empire Strikes Back.

That's not a horse! That's Clint Eastwood!

The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

for Picture 5, obviously.

Picture 10:

Gone with the wind?

or maybe Four Weddings and a Funeral?

Ah yes. I thought the horse was a bit thin.

Ooooh, ooh, is number 10 Lawrence of Arabia?

I'll 'fess up and say that I saw it on a quiz elsewhere on the BBC site (again, it looks reversed, as does the N by NW one)

1. Darth Vader to Princess Leia in Star Wars "This is NOT an ambassadorial ship, you are a member of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor to the Empire", or some such nonsense.

2. North by North West

3. The Exorcist

4. Debbie Does Dallas?

5. Good Bad and Ugly?

6. Seven Year Itch?

7. Titanic - Kate Winslet being pushed off the ship by Leo (well, nearly)

8. Valkyrie?

9. The Godfather

10. Avatar

Interesting guesses, Matt.

Can you be a bit more specific on picture 1?

Sorry Icy, forgot to mention Darth's shoe size. 13 and 3/4 I believe.

Alright you win.

While we're all in cinematic frame (geddit?) of mind, here's that other quiz I mentioned. See what you think about Lawrence for Icy's #10

No 4 is the end of Life of Brian

No 3 High Noon or John Travolta walking down the street near the start of Saturday Night Fever

No 2 N by NW

No 8 ?Pulp Fiction?

No 9 The Godfather

No 7 Titanic

The solutions are up now - see A65645472

Quiz 2 is up, too - see A65857800

I found it fascinating how the "feel" of the scenes was easy to recognise, even if we didn't spot the actual picture. Most of us guessed that the High Noon pic was a cowboy movie, and even though I guessed wrongly at French Lieutenants Woman and The Piano for what was actually the Titanic one, they all had the sea in the background.

Still working on the Spot-the-Sports one!
