What is (are) your favorite frame(s)?
]
Earrings of Madame de (by Ophuls)
12 from Tron
The two frames in The King of Comedy when Rupert is in Jerry’s office building. The first where he is sitting hopefully in the waiting room expecting to see Jerry. Then the same shot after he realizes he isn’t going to see Jerry but sits and waits anyway. The First shot he is in the middle of perfect symmetry with the chairs around him. In the second, the frame is shifted just slightly so that the symmetry has gone. It is subtle and the perfect image of Rubert’s shattered image of himself and Jerry.
so what, you all just google this shit or what? that’s alot of awesome screen shots.
I take snapshots while I’m watching a movie in VLC media player.
Letter from an Unknown Woman by Ophüls
Peter Bruegel the Elder – Return of the Hunters
Andrei Tarkovsky – The Mirror
Stanley Kubrick – Eyes Wide Shut
Une Femme Mariee
What would be a suitable punishment for people who post frames without naming the movie?
You know, I reckon I can make a pretty good guess whether I’ll like a movie or not based on a couple stills. Judging books by their covers has always worked quite well for me.
the opening shot of Clockwork
Michael, that’s a great one from Eyes Wide Shut.
here’s A Night at the Opera
Nostalghia
A shot of Roberto slopply dancing with his wife in Down by Law.
a couple from 1933 Chinese classic Daybreak by Sun Yu
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, The Young Girls of Rochefort- Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac
everything from royal tenenbaums…
i can’t help it!
I love this shot from La Jetée.
Go West from Marx Brothers
@Ceremony: Which movie(s) are your stills taken from? (I’m sorry if that’s obvious to everyone but me.) They look beautiful.
I think i know about 2 or 3 of em, nudge nudge, wink wink, Imeanya/Armenia no harm old fruit. I thought we’d had the the last one before, perhaps it was on another thread. You need to give one of them more reflection. I don’t recognise the top one but it looks enticing
Hey, you know I’m laaazy. Ok, I know the last one is from The Color of Pomegranates. On the first one we have Anna Karina, righto?
Oh i don’t know it either, but i certainly want to. I’m pretty sure that must be the coffee cup in 2 or things i know about her- the image i found to be sure was only of the coffee itself not the cup. And i love Tarkovsky. Actually, Girl with the Chapped Lip could go quite well with Girl with the Pearl Earring. Mirror is my 2nd favourite film but even with that i’m having doubts.
