3 more

Golden Eye

The The Shawshank Redemption

Pans Labrynth
The Big Lebowski

Up (house with balloons)
Crucifxs, wasn’t there some controversial film about the last moments of Jesus or somesuch?
Back to the future – two trails of fire
Dude – Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure
Pig shaped moneybox – Toy Story
Woman in bikini – Raquel Welsh prehistoric film, sorry can’t remember name of film
Video tapes, Be Kind, Rewind????
Alarm clock Groundhog Day??

Some of these don’t appear very Grauniad like films, but they are what come to mind to me when I see the video.

life of brian (the whistling + crosses)
1 million years bc (on the wall for shawshank redemption)
american beauty (the bullet when it turns)
pan’s labyrinth (after the matrix)
groundhog day (last one)

Gladiator is in there, Born to be wild (the bullet), is the bowling ball the big lebowski or Kingpin? Sunset Blvd as well?

Are the videos “red tape”? No idea if that’s a film or not (I’d look on IMDB if I cared more), but there’s a Russian flag on one of them.

Actually, it’s not, is it. What is that?

Presumably the umbrellas is Singing In The Rain.

is the bowling ball the big lebowski or Kingpin?

I assumed the former, with the “Dude” in lights – that’s not Bill & Ted I don’t think, it’s part of the same clue.

The pills that turn into eyes – Blink?

Dude – The Big Lebowski

Delicatessen – pig on a chopping block
Godfather – cross turns into puppet’s strings.

shot in the dark (and Im probably wrong) but could the Russian hat and moustache be Dr Zhivago (sp?)

silhouette after airplane is Raquel Welsh in her furry bikini….Planet of the Apes

Ferris bullers day off
