He should have said "Post your single favorite shot", and I think people might have been more inclined to just post one pic. Also, although the wording in his post may imply one picture, he doesn't specifically say that everyone is limited to one pic.



EDIT: If you think about it, you should realize what kind of obsessive people we're dealing with here. When was the last time a majority of the posters ever just contributed only one of something?
who gives a shit really? these are single shots from great, sometimes epic films and always fun to see. who gives a crap if you post 1 or 100. i couldn't narrow down even if i tried. those single shots and many more stir just about the same incredible feelings each and every time i see them. most are classic and most here prob. enjoy as well.

num and brent...maybe just chill and go with the thread instead of bashing those who don't exactly "follow the rules" and are just having some nostalgic fun!!

You might want to read my post again there, sport. I was sticking up for you, and I also posted several shots of my own, and therefore wasn't bashing anybody. Reading it again myself, I'm actually flabbergasted that there could have been any confusion.

Before this gets so bad as to get this thread locked, I will step in and say I was intending for people to post more than one shot, which is why I posted four(4) in my original post. I can't boil down my favorite to only one frame from one movie. However, if people want to try to distill it down to only one grab as their favorite, that is fine too.

Now stop crapping up the thread and start posting, bitches!

i did re-read it and maybe "sticking up" is loosely interpreted with your wording, but if it is in fact then apologize for including you.

I've always liked the publicity shot of the zombie with the machete in his head from Romero's Dawn of the Dead

In addition to the shot from Buffalo '66, I'll second Scott's Taxi Driver screencap. When that lego mosaic came up, that's the shot that I had a template made for in the event that I ever get enough free time to make my own.

Now you know good and well I didn't mean that as a bash or anything. Ever since your Oldboy thread, that is just the thing/the line that I think of when I see your name, just like I have other things for most other posters here. I posted two shots myself, not just one.

I'm glad someone posted that shot from Uncle Buck, since it's one of the first ones that I thought of, but I don't have the DVD to post it myself.

Honest to God, that is one of the first ones that I thought of also. No matter what anyone thinks of that movie, that shot is a fantastic work of art, and a fantastic scene. I couldn't decide which single shot to post from the following film (one of my top ten favorites of all time, period), but since these two are so different, I don't think it'll matter if I post both of them:

My Sassy Girl





I'd buy a poster or something of that first shot, easily. I also highly recommend this Korean film to all of you guys who have never seen it.
