I loved their halloween-themed version.

This will keep you busy for a hour or so.

Hint: A lot of these movies are not great movies.

I'm at 9 and just about stumped. These clues are TOO stupid to the point where they go over my head. This painting is one big donkament.

I swear to god the fighting cheerleaders has to be Fight Club. What else could it be?

ARgh!

And I'm finally finished. The last one with the thing by the bird? Damn near impossible to determine what it was.

The fighting cheerleaders is one of the easier ones. I mean, there's so many I just don't get but that one came pretty easy. Hint: it has nothing to do with cheerleaders.

currently at 44, the subway dots was one of the first ones I got. This is rough. I can't figure these 6 out, in fact I can't find 6 more... I can find 4 of the 6 I need.

Nevermind. Got it.

Thirdmango

Now I'm at 49, I doubt I would have gotten about 15 of them without hints. I just can't figure out these blasted little girls.

Sxottlan
05-25-2009, 08:42 AM
Finally, I know where all of them are, just have to figure these 2 out. I don't have the little women and the cars on the hill.

A lot of cars on the road is going to make for a lot of...

I'm stuck on the flower in the crow's mouth. Just can't tell what that is.

Thirdmango
05-25-2009, 08:43 AM
Yeah, I'm sad I didn't figure that one out for a long time.

Ugh, I finally have all 50, but there were about 5 I never would have gotten without searching the internets. Those three little girls I never would have gotten without help.
