For a few weeks now I have been sucked into playing 'Name That Film' over on a flickr group called - er - 'Name That Film'. (There was sentence that could have done with a bit more thought behind it.) The purpose of the group is to post frames from movies up for everyone to see and then everyone else has to guess what film its from. Sounds simple enough but if you actually watch movies with the express intention of finding frames that are important in the context of the movie - but mean absoloutly nothing taken out of that context you can have a lot of fun. It's amazing how many inserts, POVs, establishing shots, moments of transition and just plain weird moments there are in every film.
It is sad and sobering (but gleefully fun) to realise that I instantly knew that this:
was from a Nancy Sinatra movie called The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini and that without blinking I recognised this:
as coming from The Wild Women of Wongo.
The rest of my successes so far are here,if you want to plumb the real depths of my depravity.

Your entry's gone all wonky and I can't quite figure out what to look for!
thank you!
Well done, btw!
What did I do?
somehow managed to remember two obscure stills from two obscure movies.
