I don't understand why people are so sure that the movie has to be one everyone has seen?

If that were the case this would be a challenge with a specific movie as the subject.

This is supposed to be about the photo, not a contest to see what movie more people have seen.

Don't you vote on the shot? Yes, of course, the shot has to reflect the topic, so if someone shoots a scene from 7 Samuri,,, aren't you going to be able to deduce whether it is appropriate, even if you haven't seen it?

English is the basis of communication on this site, I doubt any one will title the picture so not eveyone can understand.

Hey Mag, do you think I'd get away with making a home movie (the sort which could be seen on this site) & taking a pic at the same time? Sod the 1's I'd be a star

Rob, clearly you actually starred in this movie so that would be cheating.

Jon as you're obviously a fan of Arob Smithanegger I'll let you in on a little secret. I had to use a body double for some of the scenes but using the power of the most sophisticated graphics software of its day (PaintBrush running on Windows 2.0) no one could tell the difference. ;)

You just need to remove the '.html' from the end of that link.
Love the quote btw, Eric Morecambe was a genius.

Yeah - thanks Bod, I noticed that and removed it. The link still worked for me so I never knew it was faulty!

The same thing happened to me...when I clicked on Jon Lucas, it went to my portfolio.

IT'S FIXED!! ;)

I copy and pasted the HTML, added my User ID but left the '.html' suffix in which caused the problem.
