Oops.
I'm going to have to get that nervous trigger finger checked out! :-)

By the way, I've deleted the other 2 duplicate comments.

[Desiree]

Will, are you trying to artificially boost the number of comments on your blog? : )

[Will]

Right on, Nathan!

I guess no one's going to get Cap #1, no matter how many caps I post. No Almodovar fans out there? I guess that's not a terrible thing, since he can be a little edgy.

It's his 1999 film Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother). The scene in the rain is the inciting action for the film's entire plot.

[Nathan]

I believe Cap 2 is A Very Long Engagement.

man, your hint for #1 reminds me of Trois Colores: Rouge, but i know it's not it.

argh! this is a tricky one for sure.

[S. Rowley]

I can't help but be mildly suspicious that your choice for #1's "hint cap" was partially influenced by my comment that I could not make out the woman's face.

Well, can't blame my computer resolution now...

After much mental wrangling, I gave up early today, did a search and found the answer (*shame*). Just FYI, no, I haven't seen that one. And no, I won't post the answer.

But I must say, the shot you chose for cap 1 was interesting and I had to wonder how much it revealed about the plot of the film: A woman in red, standing in the rain with (among other things) a dumpster in the background. I'm guessing it's a Waterloo Bridge type of story.

[Will]

No, but that's a good guess.

NOTE: I've put a hint cap for each of the two films left. Hopefully that will help someone pick out the identity.

[Kat]

Isn't #1 Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the french film?

[Will]

Yep, I'm guessing you've seen the first two, RC.

I'll post a hint later today if no one can guess them.

[RC of strangeculture]

The bonus' i can get the real one's i'm not sure if I have seen or not...vaguely familiar #1 & #2.

[Will]

Desiree: Yep, that's Amelie.
Stephen: Yep, that's Nights of Cabiria.

So far so good. Stephen, I'm interested to see if you've seen #1.

[S. Rowley]

Cap 3 is Nights of Cabiria.

Cap 1 looks awfully familiar, but I'll have to mull it over some more. If I could make out the face in the picture, I'd be more inclined to venture a guess.

-S.

[Desiree]

ISn't bonus 2 from Amelie?

[Will]

Chalk up one for Charlie!

[Charlie]

This is a toughie. I'll say Lost in Translation for Bonus 1. The rest I'll have to stare at for awhile.
