I gave it my best shot, unfortunately, I must get back to work and leave this intriguing puzzle unfinished. In the first 30 seconds I spotted: Seven Samurai, A Night to Remember, Beauty and the Beast, In the Name of the Father, The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Seventh Seal, This is Spinal Tap, Silence of the Lambs, Summertime, Robocop, Picnic at Hanging Rock, M, Brazil (?), 12 Monkees, Henry V, The Red Shoes, Brazil, Rashomon, Spaceballs, The Third Man, Rushmore, Last Temptation of Christ, Chasing Amy, It’s a Gift, Hamlet (Olivier), Pygmalion, The Blob, Black Narcissus, All that Heaven Allows, The Lady Eve, Do the Right Thing, Gimme Shelter, Mona Lisa, My Man Godfrey. I’ll pass the baton to whoever is next in line.
