Movies are moving pictures. Here are some pictures:


Blade Runner (1982, dir. Ridley Scott)


The Master (2012, dir. Paul Thomas Anderson)


Fallen Angels (1995, dir. Wong Kar-wai)


The Guest (2014, dir. Adam Wingard)


Howl's Moving Castle (2004, dir. Hayao Miyazaki)

Post awesome, devastating, and cool stills from movies here. Let's steer away from GIFs and video clips. Ideally you should identify the movie so this doesn't descend into a Guess the Movie thread, but do whatever, man.

Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory (1895)

It's not exceptionally well composed, but I just find the mundanity of history here overwhelming. Those people went home that night and told their spouses and children that they saw their boss outside the factory with some strange camera that had a crank attached, completely unaware of what they were part of. They're just walking home from work one March afternoon and into history.

Also, that dog's been dead for over a hundred years. :smith:

I had a similar reaction to the babies playing with each other.


Childish Quarrel (1896, Dir. Louis Lumiere)

These babies have since grown old, withered, died, and been buried for years....and yet there they still are, playing together for all eternity.

If I remember my film studies lectures correct, it wasn't that their boss just randomly filmed them, they made several attempts before they were happy with the result. As in, the workers were told to go back inside the factory and then come back out again. Don't remember why it was necessary unfortunately, just that it wasn't that simple.

If you know anything about film you probably already know this but it really does bear repeating what a stunningly shot film Carol Reed's The Third Man (1949) is

I remember being confused when The Long Goodbye used this shot with an inverted meaning since that whole movie is riffing on Hollywood the entire time and then it ends on...a British movie being visually quoted, with "Hooray for Hollywood!" being played over it. It just didn't make much sense to me.
