^ I thought about using Chaplin, but I didn't want to be repetitive. I also have been using the "GIF of several shots I like" option a few times in the past couple of weeks. Which is basically to say, you hit my taste spot on.

I know we already had an entry from Ed Wood, but this is one of my all-time favorite rants, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture it in avatar form:

 

[Starkers]

Bowfinger

"We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!"

 

[auntiehill]

Cinema Paradiso

Damn it, there's another vote. That's one of my all-time favorite movies.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Here's mine. Hope it counts.

*smacks forehead* DAMNIT! Why didn't I think of that? I LOOOOOOVE that movie.

Haha, I figured it was a no-brainer when I saw the theme, and was surprised when it hadn't yet been chosen. Though I have to say, I love Chaplin too, so you'll be getting my vote

 

[scotpens]

Still plenty of time to enter! I'll allow up to 20 entries.
