Speaking of pictures, I'm trying to put an image with all mine now, but I'll be darned if I can find one for Amélie. I can find the MIRROR image, it is the cover art, but not one where she's looking upward and to the left. grrrr.

Neither do I. They're usually based on books I love, which are then raped by the movies.
HP I could stomach though. At least he stayed British.

Probably a conversation for somewhere else Sundae but what did you and your countrymen think of the portrayal of the Queen and the incidents around Diana and Tony Blair? Do you think it was accurate? I've been curious.

I've completely missed two rounds, so I'm going to come right out and say the 1980s game will have Ghostbusters for G.
Clodfobble • Jan 14, 2012 8:08 am
It's depressing because I knew the 80s the best, the 90s less so, and shockingly few of the 2000s. I need to get out more. Or just turn on Netflix more, maybe.
DanaC • Jan 14, 2012 8:10 am
I think it's partly a difference in how we interact with the media. I tend not to have videos or dvds with the picture on the front. I just stream or download. You don't get the same iconic imagery at the front end of the experience.
glatt • Jan 14, 2012 8:13 am
There were so many times that I would walk into Blockbuster and stare at those movies looking for something that might be good. So many of those boxes are etched into my memory. But I haven't been into a Blockbuster in maybe 10 years. So the last 10 years of movies aren't etched the same way.
Clodfobble • Jan 14, 2012 8:13 am
Maybe. But a lot of the pictures weren't even cover art or ad posters, they were just iconic shots from within the movie itself.

Would be kind of cool, though, if you were going to open a movie theatre, to blow up all the individual letters to framable size and decorate the whole place with them.
Sundae • Jan 14, 2012 8:42 am
I spent the late nineties and early 2000s going to the cinema 1-2 times a week. My group of friends when I was married were all avid cinema-goers and the majority ruled re what we went to see.

After that, the Evil Ex was an indiscriminate film watcher and we probably watched 2 DVDs a week as well as going to the flicks.
Also I saw trailers for many more films than I actually watched.

So despite not thinking of myself as someone who is interested in film, I have built up a reasonable bank of knowledge.

I'm pignorant of pretty much anything after 2007 though.
