the movies in My Style / Profile Images
1 : The kid (but I’m not sure)
4: North by northwest
8: Amores perros
9: city of god
10: Usual suspect(I’m not sure)
Olivier, I think you’re right about #1, but I’m not sure. Otherwise you are right on all of yours. here are the (other) ones I am sure of:
2. The Big Lebowski
5. Apocalypse Now
6. Napoleon Dynamite
7. Sideways
10. The Usual Suspects
Anyone know what #3 is?
thanks a lot!! figuring out those has been bugging me for a while :D
here is the updated screen shot, only one is missing now

3 is Barton Fink. I had my suspicions but now I’m sure.
How would you guys like to upload your own images for your profiles?
Yes!
I really dislike Tarantino, Napoleon Dynamite and Sideways and the style choices made me kind of sad…
thanks Dave McDougall !! problem solved :D
I always thought that #5 was Adam Baldwin from Full Metal Jacket. I don’t remember that shot in Apocalypse.
Is that Lance on the edge of a boat?
I thought #5 was Full Metal Jacket as well.
I think No.3 is BARTON FINK as well. The blackened in glasses make it hard to tell, but looks like Goodman, when they are sitting on the bed.
No.5 is definitely FULL METAL JACKET. Animal Mother running through the bombed out city.
The one with all the faces is BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.
I hope they add more choices too.
Good thread. So, the list so far is:
The Kid
The Big Lebowski
Barton Fink
Pulp Fiction
North by Northwest
Donnie Darko
Kill Bill (Volume 1)
Full Metal Jacket
Napoleon Dynamite
Being John Malkovich
Reservoir Dogs
Sideways
Amores Perros
City of God
The Usual Suspects
^ The first one is definitely The Kid. Don’t know about the others.
Yes, that is Animal Mutha in Full Metal Jacket.
Uploading our own image would be great. I haven’t bothered picking from any of those. I kind of feel like we should maybe have more detailed profiles, possibly with bigger avatars. These style images aren’t doing much for me.
I agree with David, in response to Efe’s old post – it would be great to be able to upload our own image.
Thanks for the confirmations about the pics, guys. I’ve seen Barton Fink several times, but I’m still not 100% convinced about that one. The intense contrast of the B & W makes it hard to tell.
You can tell that three is definitely Barton Fink if you look up screencaps of the movie. Still working on the second to last one.
That penultimate pic is “City of God,” as was mentioned above by Olivier.
I myself self was extremely disappointed with the choices presented. Almost half of those movies are decent but nothing spectacular in my opinion. I expected there to be a lot of great films there, instead it is mostly films the average quasi eccentric person with a limited amount of knowledge of cinema has listed for there favorite films on myspace. North By northwest and The Kid being the only two that wouldn’t fall into that category.
Thanks for confirming, Miranda and Tom. I saw that City of God had been mentioned above, but so was Apocalypse Now, which isn’t on this new list, so I wasn’t sure. I also don’t remember that scene, but I only saw the film once.
I have to agree with Cutler on the choices. As much as I love Tarantino, did 3 of his 5 films really need to be on there? And Napoleon Dynamite? Don’t get me wrong, I really like that movie, but it just doesn’t fit in with the others. The rest, barring Usual Suspects and maybe Donnie Darko, seem “Auteuristic” enough.
That does seem excessive to have more than one film by one director, especially if it’s Tarantino. But I think the “style” images were a really cool idea, regardless!
Okay, I only just noticed that there are some new, colorized options to add to the list. I’ll post them below, if anyone can help me identify the films they’re from (the ones with question marks), that would be swell. And go easy on me, I’m doing this in a hurry and off the top of my head…

Rodney’s dead right on 12. (I think it’s on the set of “Berlin Alexanderplatz.”)
Ahhh, so they’re starting to just put pictures of directors in there, now. No wonder I was confused. He looks a lot like De Niro in that shot!
