 Awesome job by MAYDRICK who comes in 1st with 18 points.
[He runs a quiz of his own--that's why he's really good at this.
He wins the honor of being the champion and putting all others to shame 
without a DVD/bluray prize since he doesn't live in the US.]

There is a three-way tie--
Adam Kuhn
worm@work, and 
Dan Heaton--
for 2nd place with 10 points.

Screen Capture Quiz: Round 2, Week 1

 
Rules
  1. Each screenshot is worth 1 point and naming the connection between the two films is an additional 1 point (3 points total).  I will make the connections simple and warn you if it is tricky.  Removed the bonus 4th point that was in play during the first round because there were never seven total contestants to answer correctly.
  2. Submit your answers using the comments; it will be set it to need administrative approval so that other people cannot see your answers.  I will post the top ten point leaders in the following week's screenshot quiz (if you want me to pimp your blog or link to your site/works by your name, just say so in your comment). 
  3. Please use yourself as the only resource to answering the quiz--no Internet searches (honor system); if you really want help, you can look into the soul of the person next to you.

The fantastic Jos wins with 19 points and he didn't even answer the past week's quiz. 
Sadly, Jos wins the prestige of finishing first without a prize because he lives in Europe.

I'm Glad This Movie Exists #4

My Apologies to The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir, 1939).  I almost forgot to include it in my Top 100*...even though its always included in My Top 20 Movies That Should Be In My Top 10.


When asked what his top three films were on Late Night with Johnny Carson (?), Orson Welles said: "Rules of the Game! Rules of the Game! And Rules of the Game!"  Here's Orson Welles on Jean Renoir (following the passing of the French director). Find the (modern) trailer and Mr. Renoir's introduction to the film's re-release after the jump...

*With its inclusion at #12, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (#98) is the odd film out.
I realized that Michel Gondry had gotten into my mind to erase my love for Jean Renoir.
