Name the movies - for the sincere movie nerds
Give this a go.
An easy one, yes? Fancy giving some others a go?
These, the ones below and more are all done by a very talented illustrator called Paul Rodgers and are his Name that Movie posts.
There’s six stylized drawings per film and it’s a brilliant, maddening test of what you remember from a movie - I don’t think you could do it if you hadn’t seen it. The art itself is beautiful - pen drawings are always among my favourites and I think the tribute that he’s made to the classics is quite appropriate.
Some I got straight away - some I struggled with. How’d you get on? Don’t forget to show your appreciation to the man himself on his website.

You should have a look at his other ones. Some I had no clue of but should have gotten!
I got all of them except the 39 steps, which I’ve never seen. And the last one too. Is it ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’??
When I was trying to do them first I kept was thinking ‘why do all the films look like they are Citizen Kane…and then I cottoned on it was 6 pics per film…doh.
