BOOKMAN'S MOVIE SCREENSHOT GAME—DAY 8 (24 June 2021)

 

All right, movie fan(s).  The last day of what will probably be the last engagement of Bookman's Movie Screenshot Game.  I started this movie screenshot game back in 2014 under the name of  "Guess the Movie."  The first run of the game was 5 days a week for four straight months.  After a one-year hiatus I came back with the current two-week format.

When someone else decided to use "Guess the Movie" for a completely different game, I switched mine to Bookman's Movie Screenshot Game.

For the first two years, as "Guess the Movie," I used downloaded screenshots exclusively.  Then I began taking my own screenshots and mixing them in with the downloads.  By July 2017, 100% of the screenshots I used at Bookman's Movie Screenshot Game were my own.

On This Day in Movie History began as a separate feature with its own thread.  I would post these in the week or two before the return of BMSG, just to whet people's appetites.  But these eventually were added to the game threads.

It has been a pleasure creating these games for the past seven years.

Here are the titles for yesterday's movies.

1.
Three Days of the Condor (1975)

2.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)

3.
West Side Story (1961)

4.
American Hustle (2013)

5.
Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)

6.
All About Eve (1950)

7.
Body Heat (1981)

8.
Charade (1963)

9.
Collateral (2005)

10.
The Terminal (2004)

Congratulations once again to catbert for getting all 10.  And after the following buffer images, we will try to go out with a bang.



These photos are of Norma Dougherty, a young married woman in southern California.  The year was 1946.  The photographer was Andre de Dienes.  Early in the year when these were shot, Norma was in the process of leaving and divorcing her husband, Jim Dougherty.  Later in the year, she embarked on a Hollywood career and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.


























All right, are you ready to play?  Great!  Then let's play!  Good luck and have fun!
