It's a game in which you find a movie title in a picture, it's super fun.
I've found 36 so far! Play it!

You're more patient than I am. I killed almost an hour squinting at that thing and quit at 33.

Spoiler
I guess I am blind, but where are The Shawshank Redemption and Mulholland Dr?

BTW, Eagle Eye? Give me a break.

Where are you getting that those are in it? Is there a list?

I am just very arrogantly presuming that the movies I mentioned would be in any list of the best movies of the past twenty years. It's possible that that tiny hamhock near a bible isn't supposed to be the ShawShank Redemption and is instead supposed to represent Porky's III: This Time It's Just Annoying.

Spoiler
Just kidding, of course. The movies I was looking for may not be in the puzzle at all. Except for the one I mentioned, which I did find.

Seriously, I am doing my utter best to resist any temptation to decode the Flash module to find the answers, violating my policy of "those who don't cheat are just too doggone lazy to decrypt the password index." ;-)

You think Eagle Eye was a bad choice? Check this out  While I enjoyed Saw, and Ice Age, and Hook and Snakes on a Plane, and Happy Feet in no way can they even be remotely considered among the best films of the last 20 years.

I'm up to 21. Who wants to pool knowledge?

I'm done, but I cheated for the last 8. Most were movies I hadn't ever heard of. The cheerleader one was just... ugh. And the painting one wasn't clear at all.

It never says these are the 50 greatest movies of the last 20 years, just 50 great movies. Obviously many of the movies wouldn't translate well into clues.

Happy Feet is definitely within the best movies of the last 20 years.  I'd actually rank it as better than the last few pixar movies (rattatouie and cars)
eagle eye as..... ughh, i went into it thinking it was a knock off of north by northwest, as disturbia was a knock off of rear window.  but man was i disappointed.
