oh, that's the easiest yet, i recognize them all at first sight.
1 is caché, which was stupid, by haneke, who also made
2 the white ribbon, which i hated, co-starring ulrich tukur, who is also in
3 the lives of others, which is full of lies, directed by von donnersmarck, as was
4 the tourist, probably his most tolerable film, so the best of this miserable bunch here, co-starring johhny depp, who also is
5 ed wood, which was boring though kinda cute
6: ?
7: That's Karloff and Lugosi which leads me to The Black Cat
8: Targets which features Karloff, directed by Bogdanovich
9: What's Up, Doc?, directed by Bogdanovich
10: ?
again, that's thankfully easy, 3 films are obvious, the other stills have actors even i recognize:
11 is mel brooks' history of the world
12 is f for fake by orson welles, who narrated 11
13 is katharine hepburn. scanning her filmography, she wears comparable garb in a delicate balance by tony richardson. the link is joseph cotton
14 is who's afraid of virginia woolf. the link is edward albee
15 is richard burton again. googling him along with eastwood i get something titled where eagles dare. book by alistair maclean, who is the link to ...
16 is leo as j. edgar by clint eastwood, who is the link to 15, and naomi watts, who is the link to
17 ... but what's the movie? maybe her woody allen flick, the still looks like they talk a lot?
no idea about 18 but i'm sure animals were harmed in the making of this movie
