I was even thinking of the right scene (the suicide bomber). My brain assigned it to the wrong film.

It contains enough visual information related to GF2. You have these vintage American cars, but you have a martial law scenario that is not America (yet). Kind of stirs your thinking in terms of Cuba.

No one has guessed this one yet? I know the answer but I'm not even going to post it because it's too easy. It's only my all-time favorite movie, though.

I've also been a few miles down the road, where another scene was filmed. I haven't been to the city where the big finale was filmed. Another movie was filmed there as well.

I try to stick mainly to fairly well known movies and try to make the game hard but not ridiculously so.

So I want the screenshots to not show the face of any famous actor/actress but to contain visual information that is specific to the film.

And then I post hints if no one is getting it. And try to make the hints progressively easier with eventually a total giveaway screenshot if everyone is completely stuck.

I've played where people pick super obscure films or little known anime etc. which is just lame IMO, or pick a screenshot that's just a random street scene with no information that's really specific to the film just to make it super hard for no good reason.
