copernicus, Stressed out or no you have completed the set. Right and right.

Number Five, picture 3, is of course Jenette Goldstein - a.k.a the ferociously aggressive Vasquez of Aliens fame (here playing a soon to be dead foster mother to John Connor).

Flaming Star, though remembered chiefly as an Elvis vehicle, is a fine Western in its own right. Presley is actually pretty (or, even, very) good in it as a “half breed” misfit. An under-appreciated gem.

Winner: Jason
Runner-up: copernicus

Aubrey Morris gives away the Clockwork Orange thing. His was an awesome part, ooer.

Started new job this week so have been quite stressed out.

The two remaining films are Flaming Star, staring the one and only Elvis Aaron “I seen the flamin’ star o’ death” Presley and Terminator 2, Judgment Day.

Aubrey’s finest moment is when he clamps his hand tightly around McDowell’s balls as they lay on Alex’s bed. And he (McD) in his white Y-Fronts. He reduces Alex’s delinquent menace to zero whenever he pops on screen.

As for the Western - it’s not Paul Newman. Get those eyes tested. You may not have seen the film in question but its lead is stupendously famous. This is comfortably the best picture he ever made.

The Western’s still stumping me, although the actor looks like Paul Newman to my increasingly weak eyes.

I’m totally drawing a blank on the last one, too.

And it’s nice to see Aubrey Morris in the first Clockwork Orange still, because, well, it’s always nice to see Aubrey Morris. When it comes to unwholesome leering, the only person who could possibly out-leer Morris would have to be Michael Gough. It’s a shame they never had a contest.

Ok, so the key to the third image for number 2 is to find out who the actor sitting in the midst of the “Indians” is (and why his character is welcome there). Get that and you’re home.

None of the 3 pictures for number Five show main characters in the film in question. Picture 3, however, does show someone who’s a featured actress (and not just an extra). She had a bigger (in all senses) part in one of this director’s other biggest hits.

I realise that the grabs for Five make it look like a middle-American indie movie, but it really ain’t!

Give that man a biscuit. 1 is the marvellous Devil Rides Out (best Black mass/Outdoor orgy scene ever). 3 is The Adventures of Robin Hood. 4 is Clockwork Orange (that's the back of Malcolm McDowell's head in the second image). I'll throw in two more images for 2 & 5 and leave it at that. Thought the Western might catch people out, but 5 is mega-famous and much-seen.

First two are from The Devil Rides Out (AKA the best film Hammer ever made).

I spotted two from A Clockwork Orange (numbers 7 & 8), and numbers 5 and 6 might be from The Adventures of Robin Hood, but it’s been too long since I’ve seen that to know for sure. Don’t know the Western at all, I’m sorry to say.

There we go. A shiny new image for each film. Turn yer brain boxes up to 11.

I haven’t a notion what any of them are. However, I’m the first person to comment. Does that win me a prize?

No. This is not a place for compromise. It is an arena of ultimate combat…with…er…DVD screen grabs.

Your guesses, while humorous, are some way wide of the mark - as you’ll be no doubt astonished to hear. This thing is obviously tougher than I thought!

Some more images needed perhaps.

No. 1 looks like art critic Robert Hughes lurking in the bushes outside Damien Hirst’s mansion, with murder on his mind, while No. 2 & 3 could be from a polygamous version of Brokeback Mountain.
