As of the time I'm writing this, it appears that the shots may have been more difficult than I first thought (and there are presently enough villagers with torches outside to seriously affect global warming). Anyway, my thoughts about the shots and their "getability" are:

A. The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's a shot of a guy standing in front of 11-12 persons who are all seated and are apparently listening to him (and you also got a funny title of "Trial by Blurry" - if no one had tried a jury theme, I was going to insert "A Jury of our Fears"). They looked like a bunch of cutthroats to me, and if you Google "Jury" and "Cutthroats," the first hit is this movie. Walter Huston was a first rate Devil.

B. I Shot Andy Warhol: The guy has white hair and is standing next to a famous Warhol Marilyn Monroe photo. Seemed pretty suggestive.

C. The Mark of Zorro: Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell dressed in Spanish garb. That pretty much leaves this movie or "Blood and Sand." Power was spectacular when in "fop" mode.

D. What a Way to Go: What a cast! Shirley Maclaine, Robert Mitchum, Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, Dick Van Dyke, Robert Cummings and that's none other than Paul Newman being killed by the rebellious "painting machines" he designed after being corrupted by the thought of churning out assembly line abstract art. This would be a tough shot if you didn't know the movie.

The extra shot: Peter Pan: Hey, it's Peter Pan! (OK, Ok, it's really not famous for the seagull butt shot).

Theme: The first three titles have the first names of 3 of the only 4 Evil Quizmasters this quiz has ever had (Dan Balogh, Andrew Moxon, and Mark Greenhalgh). The fourth title has the word "Go," but needs "Pan" from the extra shot to give us our 4th Evil Quizmaster, Gopan Menon. These names are all on the first page of the WTF site every time you check in. Seemed fair.

For those that did, thanks for playing! Oh, and you're welcome, Andrew.
