Movie stillscreen quiz

If movies and games are champagne, Hitchcock's movies and games like Grim Fandango, BWP and Psychonauts are Crystal. The rest is horse-piss.

Books, movies, music, games.. all are different things. This conversation is useless and retarted.

Of course they are different. All I was trying to point out, that one form of art is not necessarily "more valuable" than the other, by default. And I find video games to be a form of art. By definition of art they're nothing short of it.

You are the one who compared movies and games in the way their stories are written.

I didn't notice anything retarded about a normal conversation, but by all means, don't let me usurp the thread. It wasn't my intention to stray off the topic. I'm just chatting (on something that is semi-related) while waiting for the others to pick their guesses and post some new challenges.

Allright allright, maybe I misunderstood here.. I thought someone said something and ..stuff. I hadn't eaten anything today so maybe I was delusive.

Should I reveal the names then?
Damn, as I mentioned, I thought all these would be dead easy.

edit: I will still keep it running until some can see it, like Nathan. Nathan, you are our last hope!

What do you have against horse piss?

Great quiz though, man!
