For those of you that, for whatever reason, capture or post images, i'll take some requests for movies that i have in my collection. I'd be happy to share some. You can view my movies here: My DVDs

Vertigo


Contempt (Le Mepris)

I thought I might post some shots of some lovely women to balance off the male actor, action, and animation shots.

Rats! Now this thread will probably get lost in the shuffle.

Hey, this is the first time I've done this, so hopefully it'll turn out. I hope I don't need to caption it

mods, can we pretend that i am 18? In other words, someone create a thread very similar to this in mature forum, and I'll tell you which images I want posted.

How 'bout one of the mods delete the mature shot above and let's keep *this* thread PG-13? If you want to post mature pics, we could start a new thread in the mature forum as Rypro suggested.

Anyway, I snagged a few shots of my favorite 80's teen star, Ally Sheedy.

This one is priceless. This and the next are from my favorite movie, The Breakfast Club.



"I stole your wallet."



Finally, one from Wargames:

Here are some shots from Panic Room, a recent blind buy of mine that I really enjoyed.

I loved this sequence. Don't try this at home, kids!



You can't go wrong with Jodie Foster in the frame.



It's hammer time.



There's no mistaking that "Oh $&!%" look, especially in this shot:



You're right, this thread is addictive. That last one is my 29th shot posted

God, I've lost count how many shots I've posted.

Good stuff. Would anyone be interested in putting together a web site/database of classic screen captures from DVD?

I'd be happy to donate my screenshots (as if they're really "mine" in the first place) but I'm not certain I'm up for running/creating a site. More power to whomever wants to, though!

Some great shots on this page guys. I agree, let's keep this thread here, remove any "mature" pics, and create a seperate thread for those.

Could we post nudes in the "Mature" thread? I can think of some classic screenshots (from real, non-porn movies) that I'd post.

Here are some shots from Glengarry GlenRoss. There is some really nice use of color here.

Two of my favorites from LOTR. I wanted to post the ring in the snow but someone beat me to it.




And a related article for the curious

There are so many great shots in LOTR, i'm really surprised how few of them there have been posted. I've only stayed away from posting any because it seems like such an "obvious" movie to pick from. Heck, you could practically post a screenshot for every scene in the movie and it would be a great screenshot.

More Jodie Foster, this time from Contact. When my copy of Silence of the Lambs arrives from DDD I'll get some more

First, a couple neat effects shots. There are very nice featurettes for both of these on the DVD. If you have it, you should definitely check them out.

The test site:



There's a lot of neat CG stuff going on here that's explained in the featurette. Even cooler looking in motion.



Awestruck:

I thought the digital widening of Jodie's eyes was really creepy looking.

And they digitally re-coloured them a more piercing blue, too. I mean, are Jodie Foster's eyes not pretty enough on their own?

Horrible, horrible shots. BAD Zemeckis, BAD.
