I made the stills for this quiz myself. There are 20 total stills from 20 total movies, and you have to try to identify what movie each still is from. Obviously, I don't expect anyone to get all 20 by themselves, so if you know or want to guess even just one please do and I'll keep everyone updated about how many have been guessed correctly. Some of these are super easy. Good luck.
Very well done! All of tree's guesses are right except on 13 and 16. 13 is not The Wild Goose Lake. And spike is correct that 16 is from Speed.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I just can't help myself. For instance, the other day my wife looked at the toilet and said "this looks so nice did you clean it?!" I had to be honest. I told her that I didn't and she must be crazy. I really know how to ruin a good opportunity.
