Two images this time around from master film directors.

Bruce

I'd say C326 is surely either Gallipoli or Lawrence of Arabia, and since I think "Lawrences" stick together, I am going with the latter!

Bruce

And I have a vague feeling C326 is Barry Lyndon but just a pure guess, and certainly the director WAS a master

Correct with your thinking. Lawrence Of Arabia from 1962. A memorable scene.

Yes your vague feeling has turned out to be correct, so top marks go to you. Barry Lyndon from 1975.

For the record the actual image number though is C327 and not A326.

Stanley Kubrick is one of my favourite film directors, and among the many great films he made I particularly like Paths Of Glory (1957) and The Killing (1956).

"Stanley Kubrick is one of my favourite film directors, and among the many great films he made I particularly like Paths Of Glory (1957) and The Killing (1956)."

Did you know both those magnificent films were largely written by legendary pulp writer Jim Thompson (The Getaway, The Grifters, etc)? Sadly Kubrick massively screwed Thompson on the screen credit, and later tried to make it up to him by keeping him on his payroll for years when he was a hopeless alcoholic.

Let us continue with the above two images. One actress is well known, while the other one you may struggle to recofnise

c328 I'm going to Guess The Sixth Sense

c329...so its the girl from the 90s version of Godzilla, which got me to Maria Pitillo, and when I look at her film history, Chaplin stuck out like a sore thumb and hence I found this below, so this one is Chaplin!  Phew!

Correct and well worked out. The Sixth Sense from 1999 and Chaplin from 1992.      .

 C330  C331
Two very well known films this time around that hopefully won't be a problem to solve..

Rick

C330 Close encounters?

C330 Close encounters?

Well spotted as it is indeed Close Encounters Of The Third Kind from 1977.


 Melina Dillon and Richard Dreyfuss, with the Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming appearing in the background.

Rick

Devil;s Tower was the giveaway

Bruce

Is C331 Slaughter-House 5? I loved that movie

Bruce said:

A good guess, but it isn't the film in question.

 You will need to look further back in time to when the film is set to find the answer. 

Bruce

How about Doctor Zhivago?

HONDO

Bruce said:

You are correct for C331. Doctor Zhivago from 1965

Two scenes from very well known films this time around that were released in the same decade.  

HONDO

 C332  C333
As the above two images are proving to be a little difficult in finding the answers for, I have enlarged the original images slightly.

I am thinking now that this should hopefully assist in coming up with the correct answers for these very well known films.

HONDO

Clue for C332 is reinvigorated a genre.

Clue for C333 is memorable theme song.

333 Ghostbusters?

HONDO

dedeposter said:

Sorry but not that one.

HONDO

Rick said:

333 Ghostbusters?

Correct and well done. Ghostbusters from 1984. 

HONDO

 C332
A slightly expanded image I am hoping will assist.

Previous clues being the same decade as the just answered C333, and reinvigorated a genre.

HONDO

dedeposter said:
