Le Balloon Rouge

Castle in the Sky (Kingdom of Heaven?)
Cocktail
Toy Soldiers
The Crow
Hollow Man (?)
Anaconda
The Mask (of Zorro?)
Layer Cake
The Money Pit
Saw (according to the info, the single saw counts, too)

Dobermann
Tin Cup
Longshot

93 and counting...

Other mysteries include the knife in the tree, the blue pancake-turner or paddle Mr. Jarhead is holding, the money in the hole, the dog, the warrior on the roof, the chocolate cake in the the stand to the right, the small red box on the palm tree behind the saddles, the jug next to the cocktail, the naked chick at the phone booth, the weird screaming statue behind the jarhead, the gun and the overlength bullet and the parking meter that seems kinda off.

When I count those they add up to 12... we're missing 13. Hmmmmm... what a coincidence! LOL

Oddly enough, I can't find matches for some of them that seem perfectly plausible, but IMDB just doesn't return any decent hits, such as Darkroom, Bigfoot and Green Eggs and Ham O.o;.

Don't peak if you don't want your fun spoiled.

Okay, so there is a mask up next to the pacifier, I'm not sure if its The Mask or The Mask of Zorro....
Otherwise, I think there is Hollow Man and Anaconda in there... and Burning Sadddles should be Blazing Saddles.
Oh, and Castle in the Sky? Or do you know something better? Kingdom of Heavens?

So, what is the knife in the tree? And the blue... pancake-turner Mr. Jarhead carries? And the money in the hole? And the dog? And the warrior on the roof?

I thought the castle in the sky was refering to that Japanese animation movie by Hayao Miyazaki, but Kingdom of Heaven is plausible, too... Hmmm... gonna write it down as both options. Blazing Saddles, ahaha ^^;;; I knew something was odd about that title. Selective memory *shrugs*. You think the black dude is Hollow Man? Sure, why not. Anaconda seems so simple... but there's the Titanic, so why not XD;. The Mask (of Zorro), good call!

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

D:! I just realized I had forgotten to add Castle in the Sky to my list! Hehe, good thing you spotted it! LOL

Other mysteries (other than those you've mentioned) include the chocolate cake in the the stand to the right, the small red box on the palm tree behind the saddles, the jug next to the cocktail, the naked chick at the phone booth, the weird screaming statue behind the jarhead, the gun and the overlength bullet and the parking meter that seems kinda off.

The cake is Layer Cake.

And I wondered if the naked chick could be Mannequin on something...

Otherwise, I'm lost, too.

There are apparently various movies titled 'Longshot'... that might explain the overlength bulle.

[genepool23.livejournal.com]

The Crow + Barb Wire = Bird on a Wire.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yeah if you look that's actually the first entry on the list :-P. It's the first thing I saw! hehehe

[genepool23.livejournal.com]

*Smacks Head*

Could green eggs & Ham = Sam I Am?

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

I am Sam (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277027/), you mean? Hm... I don't know. Why? Explain how you got there?

[genepool23.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I must have had stupidity for breakfast today.

Well, the first words in the book "Green Eggs & Ham" by Dr. Seuss are: "I Am Sam. Sam I Am." It's a stretch, but not an awfully long one.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... that is a stretch, but it could work! Especially since I could find no movie versions to Green Eggs & Ham! I'll put it down as an opion! Very clever! ^^

[drowningmermaid.livejournal.com]

This is the best list I've seen. However, it's not Dark Room... it's One Hour Photo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265459/). That's the only one I knew that you didn't.

I'm still stumped by the same ones as you but you've solved about 20 of them that were staring me in the face. Woo!

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

^^; I have One Hour Photo on the list, too! That's one of the really obvious ones. But since it clearly says "Dark Room" on the building there I'm just tempted to think it MUST mean something...

Glad my list could be of any assistance! XD

[drowningmermaid.livejournal.com]

hrm, good point. I must have missed One Hour Photo in the mass of other movies...

maybe Darkroom is pitch black (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847/)?

[(Anonymous)]

and maybe, could the warrior on the roof be Gladiator?

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

I don't know... this all seems too abstract for my taste, considering that the other hints usually are very straight-forward and all. Same reason why I'm doubtful about the "I am Sam" bit. Seems too abstract. But who knows...

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Pitch Black... maybe. Seems a bit abstract, but maybe those are the more difficult ones... Thing is, there are tons of movies called Dark Room or Darkroom, just not really mainstream ones.
