[QUOTE=Reply] Lamppost 2: Mask? The Mask? Man in the Iron Mask? Phantom of the Opera? Zorro? Knife in tree: Blade? Warrior: Zulu? Remote: Don’t think it’s a remote… Domino, maybe? And what about the revolver, the bullet, the milk/cocktail stand, the willow & other trees in the background, and the hole in the ground beneath the flipper? [/QUOTE] Lamppost 2, I’m pretty sure, is **Mask of Zorro**. The revolver could be **Lethal Weapon**. The flipper, of course, **Flipper**. I think the foot is **Footloose**. My friend and I went through this last night, here are some I haven’t seen mentioned yet (but I could just have skimmed over them): Jackass The Pink Panther 21 grams (the scale) The Thin Red Line Bad Santa ---

Isn’t \*\*Satan Claus \*\* a better fit than **Bad Santa**? Other than that, I’ve got nothing new to add. I think the one that tickled me most was American Grafitti. ---

**Pi** [actually, the title is the Greek symbol] – on the face of a building on the right (look for a medallion). **Seven** – the road sign with the “7”. If double meanings are okay, then: **Napoleon** should count as the B&W Abel Gance epic, not just Napoleon Dynamite. The black bird on the left could be Roger Corman’s **The Raven**. And although it lacks the literalism of the other citations, the mule in the road front of a careening car? Bresson’s **Au Hazard, Balthasar**. [!] ---

[QUOTE=Reply] > [@](#): > > > [@](#): > > > > The Chronicles of Narnia: The Witch, The Tiger and the Wadrobe > > That would be The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe That does make more sense. Could it be both? There’s definitely a lion, witch, and wardrobe in there. [/QUOTE] It can’t be both because there’s no tiger involved in Narnia. The tiger goes with the faded dragon next to it, being crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The lion and the tiger are probably just near each other to confuse people.
