Would you feel a little inadequate doing the grabs yourself seeing as how, you know, you lack the proper equipment?

Can't believe no one has taken a shot of the gang walking with the brick wall behind them in Reservoir Dogs. or the shot of Chow Yun Fat as the blood squirts on his flour covered face from the Killer.

How about this one from LOST HIGHWAY (shot courtesy of DVDbeaver.com):



Or this one from PSYCHO:



The eyes have it.

i am pretty sure it is ocean's 11. one of the recaps of the 3 most successful casino robberies ever. the scene shows someone robbing the casino getting clocked with a billy club and falling back.

Like Wiccan said, it's Ocean's 11. Anyone who's seen it will know it immediately. It's a great little montage of casino robberies.

Any shot of the entire stage and band from the latter part of Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. Brilliant.

(Sorry, no screen shot capabilities.)

Actually that is exactly the one i was just watching and wanted to post pics of. I've just captured about ten or so but i don't know how to post pics. I got a few shots of the Big Suit and my favorite shot from "Once in a Lifetime".

Yeah, I noticed that too. Actually I kind of like not having the titles with the shots. It makes it more fun. Either you get it or you don't. Just my opinion.

The original link I had to this freezeframe is dead, but the freeze on Katie's face when she walks into her bedroom in the opening scene from The Ring still keeps me up at night.

to post images, take the url of the image you are trying to post and slap it in the middle of these tags:

[ img ]your image url here[ /img ]

just don't copy the spaces between the brackets and img. ta-da!

now lets see some new ones!

Another great one would be that scene in BLow with Jonny walking through the Air Port in his white suit.
