Oh it would be really handy to have a list of previous competitions to ensure we didn't duplicate them for future reference.

Maybe a thread with just the themes and the winning photos that is locked so only mods can post?

Bloody hell - good theme. Lots of room for interpretation there. Going to have to get my thinking boots on.

If someone starts one off I'll sticky/lock it etc, unfortunately not got a whole lot of time today to do it. Can do it tonight though; it's a nice idea.

Very good theme and a bit different, which I like cos it really makes you think and should inspire new images rather than simply trawling back through personal image libraries.

What a fantastic theme! My two favourite films are Apocalypse Now and Saturday Night Fever. The scope for interpretation is amazing.

Glad you seem to like the theme. As has been said you'll have to get out there and snap rather than trawl your picture library.

Now I wonder if someone is going to do Deepthroat...

[GetCarter]

Dumb and Dumber?

[crmcatee]

A rather boring conference call has enabled me to collate the current list. I can't find any more under search. See the first post for themes.

I hope people will post without naming the film.

Could make for an interesting judging session and a nice little end of year challenge to fill the days between Xmas and the new year ... plus if the judge is hungover as promised the observations and comments could provide endless amusement well into January!
