Time for the "Guess the Movie From The ScreenShot" Game.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Here's how it works. Someone posts a screenshot. In the replies to that screenshot people guess what movie it's from. If no one guesses right, or even worse no one even has a clue and tries to guess, then additional screenshots should be posted in the replies as hints until the movie is guessed.

To make the game fun it's best to pick shots that don't show obvious things like the face of famous movie stars that were in the film, but do convey information about significant things from the film so that people who know the film well can guess.

Picking scenes that have basically no information (like some random street shot) kind of sucks, as does using super obscure movies that no one has seen (my opinion). I think it's good to post additional shots as hints especially if people just aren't getting it.

I usually get screenshots by playing the movie on my computer either with Netflix, Amazon Prime, or the streaming program for my cable TV service. I pause at the shot that I chose, and take a screenshot. Then I trim the extra bits on the edges with Microsoft Paint and upload to an image hosting site (imgur in my case).

17. Apocalypse Now

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Yes.

[NightWatcher]

21. From the scene in the trailer when they order ...with extreme prejudice

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. And you'll notice my first two hints had "dialogue hints" contained in the text.

The Will Geer Colonel guy passed the shrimp and told Martin Sheen's character something like "if you eat this you will never have to prove your courage in any other way".

When Sheen's assassin begins his journey there's a line about "I wanted a mission and they gave me a mission... for my sins" or something.

[Mendocino]

29. Terminate with extreme prejudice..
