    I managed 3 right answers, then I gave up.

    Not bad. I think most of the riddles are quite obvious. I'm just not good with horror movies.

    I got 26 now. Some are just to hard for me.

    I feel that I should know the guy with the lamp and Death. But no title I remember fits.

    I figured the guy with the lamp as The Shining.

    I can't think what the death guy is though...

    Managed to get 40.

    As Barmy Army says, some I don't have a clue about - I think the two men on the 39 steps is probably the most difficult (for me).

    I got to 40 before I realized I'd just wasted nearly 30 minutes. ;)

    I'll try again tomorrow. The ones that are killing me are the green M&M girl, the lady dangling her kid, and the pencil guy in the corner. If anyone knows these, please drop me a hint - don't tell me outright. I feel proud to have gotten 40 on my own.

    I have ground to a halt at 23. No idea about the M&M juggling the coins, the face in the tower, the guy with the basket on his head, or any of the ones that DR mentioned.

    @ HB - two quick hints...

    What kinds of coins are they, what do they add up to? Say it out loud.

    What is the basket made of? (newer movie)

    M&M girl: what is she wearing?
    Lady with kids: I thought this was 'Mommie dearest'. As it turns out I was wrong but not by much...
    Pencil guy: you almost have it :D

    I tried "Devil in a Blue Dress" and it didn't work. Another hint?

    Oh yeah - and the tall house with the light on on the left hand side...killing me too. Also - have no idea about death in the circle fence thing. "Circle of Death" was a no-go. Also - the little dude with a telescope on the top floor of that shack. The dark passageway in the bottom right is also making my brain itch, because I'm sure it's incredibly simple.

    As a side-note - Barmy, this is one of the coolest things I've seen online in a long time. Kudos.

    DR Green M&M try a cloth type, death guy think Stephen King and guy with telescope think Hitchcock.

    I've got 18 so far, and yes Barmy well done this is fun.

    EDIT: 40 and struggling.

    I got to 17 off the top of my head. Funny thing is, I hate hooro movies and haven't seen most of the films in this puzzle - I know them from seeing trailers or ads! :lol:

    @DR - re the green M&M girl, think David Lynch

    Up to 20...

    @Da Rock: The answer is in your question! ;)

    What's the deal with the flock of earmuff-wearing sheep?

    @ Rally - What's another word for sheep, and what do earmuffs do?

    Thanks for your hint about the green M&M girl, I got it - but since I've never heard of that film, I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. I feel dirty. :(

    I'm at 43 now.

    ALSO - I need a hint about the three kids dancing in a circle. Anybody?

    Hints please

    1. The moths/butterflies on the right hand side?
    2. The people with the O's?
    3. The three guys with the plan?
    4. Mother & Kids?
    5. Water barrel?
    6. Kids Dancing?
    7. The thing in water?
    8. Coins (couldn't get it from your hint DR)?
    9. The guys standing back to back on the steps?
    10. The Tunnel?

    1. Do they have an 'effect?'
    2. They're all men.
    3. They are boys, and it's a map.
    4. --
    5. What shade is the water? (recent movie)
    6. --
    7. Another word for "monster," and what is he in? (older movie)
    8. I don't know how it is in most of Europe, but in the US we refer to our loose change as "cents."

    4, 6, 9 and 10 I still need good hints on. Vuk seems to be the only one to do really well here. And I STILL have no idea about the guy with a telescope. "Vertigo" is the closest I've come, and that's not it. I guess that, the mountain peak at the top and the tall house on the far left mean I have 7 left, not 5.

    EDIT so now I'm down to 4. I figured out the mountain peak (or, should I say "peaks" ;) ) and for some reason the cabin I was talking about is no longer clickable, so my bad. So once I get the hints on 4, 6, 9, and 10 I should be a happy monkey.

    Telescope man is a Hitchcock movie with James Stewart, and if that's not enough where is what he's looking out of in relation to the house.

    Thanks for the help I miscounted on the 'pennies'

    I've obviously not seen the films with the boys and map, or the water one; but I have got no 10. A quote from the film "How do you get eyes like that"...

    :doh: Monday brain yes I have seen that one, the Connelly I managed to guess.

    I'm left with dancing kids, the Mum and the two guys.
