I was just about to post this!

I'm stuck on 40 at the moment. Can't figure out anything surrounding the cheerleaders or those family men next door.

EDIT: Got 37, then looked at the answers. Some of them were so obvious after I saw the answers, but there is no way I would have guessed some of the others.

Man, there were some really difficult clues in there. I admit I had to cheat; I never would have gotten at least 3 of them and 1 of them I couldn't even find until I looked on the answer list and then had to search the painting for what looked right.

Spoiler for Scott

Spoiler:
The correct answer is Monsters Inc., see how the van says Incorporated, and there are monsters (three headed dog, Frankenstein) coming out the back.

Also, don't forget that it only has movies of the past 20 years. This helps as well. I think had I taken a little longer and thought a little harder I could've made it to somewhere around 43-45; definitely wouldn't have gotten them all though.

No, there are older films:
Spoiler:
Enter the Dragon


I'm at 36 right now. I'm going to try to finish it w/out cheating. Or at least until my head starts to hurt.

I'm still trying to figure out the two men w/ the kids one...I tried "The Odd Couple"...that wasn't right.

^ That's crap. The directions clearly state all the movies are within the last 20 years. I purposely stayed away from thinking of older films.

Actually, there have been reports that it is going to be remade under the title

Spoiler:
Awaken The Dragon

Supposedly Kurt Sutter is going to be the one remaking it.
