Monday, 20 July 2020—Day 5




Welcome to the second Monday edition of Bookman's Movie Screenshot Game.  I have it on good authority that today's game will be a pleasant stroll down memory lane.

Just a reminder.  All posts occur at or about 9AM each day.  The games get tougher as the week progresses.  And the correct titles for this Thursday's game will post on Friday.

All right, are you ready to play?  Then, let's play!

But first, two buffer movie posters:



1950




1932







Good luck and have fun!
