A Cinema Gallery: 200 Images, Part 6

It took me a while to arrive at the last 30 screen caps for my CINEMA GALLERY series. I've been quite impressed with the other film bloggers that have joined in on this notion, and wish I could've lighted on as specific a set of themes as they did (their choices, linked to here at the end of MovieMan's piece, all look so swell together). However, in the end, I just had to go with "images that

A Cinema Gallery: 200 Images, Part 5

We're nearing the end of my six-part series on great film images, and I've had a terrific time doing it! Anyway, with 29 more black-and-white images, and one in color, this makes 170. Have fun.

36 color additions to my gallery of 200 screen images! This far in, I strangely feel myself getting way more personal in my choices. There might be what're considered SPOILERS here. By the way, I'll tag five more film bloggers--as is my requirement--at the end of Part 6 in a few days. Arriving at 140 images this time, here we have: At the movies, a man seems to thank God for his true love in

A Cinema Gallery: 200 Images, Part 3

Now, for part 3 of my six-part series following 200 landmark film images, we go all monochrome. Black-and-white is all the rage here with these 35 images (this makes 104 of the guaranteed 200, and no directors will be mentioned more than once):Is this real???

As promised, another 36 images of the 200 I've picked to exemplify great movie visage. This time, instead of trying to construct a narrative, I'm concentrating on color, trying to capture your eye. This'll make 69 of a promised 200. So here we go: Bob Dylan makes another mark via electricity in Eat The Document. (Bob Dylan, 71; PHOTOG: Howard Alk) One loser loses again, this morning at a

A Cinema Gallery: 200 Images, Part 1

I visited Ed Howard's lovely Only the Cinema the other day, and saw he'd been tagged in a meme by MovieMan at The Dancing Image. This meme, conversely started by Stephen at Checking On My Sausages, calls for film bloggers to create authentic screen captures from movie moments they felt best exemplified the visual magic of cinema. And even though I wasn't tagged by Ed (who had some nicely steamy
