This drawing is weak. I feel like Ralphie after he got his secret decoder ring.
The L knight has to mean L'amour, so maybe it goes with the skeleton: Resnais' L'amour à mort

As a paleontologist, Cary Grant had to graduate from college. The caps are a clue for Bringing Up Baby
When Hepburn and Grant are searching the grounds for Baby, they are using the moonlight to see. The moon is a clue for Bringing Up Baby
The steak clearly refers to Baby's meal. Bringing Up Baby confirmed!!!

How about The Conqueror Worm for the knight? The L shape looks coincidental to me. The clue wouldn't work if the top half of the worm's armor were lying on the ground. So I see a worm rather than an L. Also, if it this were for Lancelot du Lac, surely he'd be next to a lake rather than a river?

A good guess, but the Conquerer Worm doesn't seem like Criterion's kind of thingIshmael wrote:How about The Conqueror Worm for the knight? The L shape looks coincidental to me.

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
I'm just going to list Bringing up Baby + Thin Man - and whichever gets announced first = winner.
DWK's L'Amour suggestion seems like the best one yet, though I think the skeleton is already saddled with enough clues at the moment.
Thankfully there's only a million other movies that have L'amour in the title

Amour and armor aren't even homonyms, why are so many of you suggesting a pun that only works if you misread a French word for an English one?

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
I initially thought that too; but I remembered how much Criterion liked using letters in last year's clue and disregarded it. Another one I thought of was El Cid, which was a Crtierion laserdisc title back in the day. Last I heard it was still owned by the Weinstein Company; not sure where the rights stand now.Ishmael wrote:How about The Conqueror Worm for the knight? The L shape looks coincidental to me.

Reddit seems certain the the knight is for Nightcrawler.

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
True, perhaps it works better in Italian:
L'Amore (1948) - Criterion already have the rights + BFI included it on their War Trilogy set.
And some of you guys need to read the first post prior to guessing - as Pomegranates was like the first thing solved + I've been keeping track in the 1st post!

Pretty sure the skeleton is a clue for SuperTed.

Does that fact that it's a moon mean that it's going to be another Bergman Eclipse set? This makes more sense to me than the pun guess.

I thought that hat on the dog was a vinyl disc embedded in his snout. That would have been a more interesting clue than any of these.

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
Incredibly stupid guess: Knights are referred to as “Sir”, it’s an L, so… El sur?

don't really think a standard definition dvd set of minor works makes sense to pair with a 20+ film touring retrospective.theflirtydozen wrote:Does that fact that it's a moon mean that it's going to be another Bergman Eclipse set? This makes more sense to me than the pun guess.

One pretty straightforward one (since we knew it was coming anyway): The guy pondering a photographic frame within a picture frame is Memories of Underdevelopment (1967, Gutiérrez Alea)

Personally, my first thought that it was a reference to the art museum scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.DeprongMori wrote:One pretty straightforward one (since we knew it was coming anyway): The guy pondering a photographic frame within a picture frame is Memories of Underdevelopment (1967, Gutiérrez Alea)
But apparently all the clues in the stream refer to FilmsTruck.

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
I see that Knight in armor and long for Lancelot du Lac but alas. I wonder if the sudden end to "Every Frame a Painting" on Youtube was because they made a deal with Filmstruck. Who knows!
Can't wait for a reviewer to complain that El Sur feels like a half a film!

Re: 2018 New Years Drawing
Yeah, but non-Spanish speakers like myself look at that and assume it sounds like sir.
