Framed - daily film guessing game

I’ve never Google image searched for it - I’m not even sure how to do it - it isn’t really cricket to do so IMV

To clarify: I would regard GIS as cheating too. I haven’t done that nor thought of it doing it.
GIS doesn’t involve using one’s intellect. But recognising an actor or location and working it out from such clues using tinternet does, and therefore is in my view is part of playing the game.
 
I’ve not thought of doing that (picking up on actor / location and then searching on it). I don’t think that’s quite the same as a Google image search.

I try and do it as if it’s a live quiz (so can’t hesitate as the next question comes up) and allow myself only 10 seconds maximum per shot :)
 
I've mentioned before, but I like this quiz, I seem to be quite good at it - with a few caveats:

-I LOVE watching films but am quite fussy about genres and my tastes aren't highbrow, there are films that are very highly regarded that I have never made it through to the end of for example
-I have eidetic visual memory - if I have sat and actually paid attention to a film, there is a high likelihood of one of the 6 stills in the quiz clicking with me
-On the other hand, I have very poor face recognition, so am not so good at the "ooh, so and so is in it, what films have they been in" type research (which I don't think is cheating, but I'm unlikely to be in a position where that particular method actually works for me)
-I'm quite good on details of certain stuff eg. fictional worlds (is a fictional corporation sign in the background), period details (costume, props, vehicles etc), location details, which is where my "haven't seen it but might be able to work it out" comes into play.

Generally, either I have seen (and paid attention to) a film and will know it fairly quickly, OR I won't have seen it and won't have a clue
Where there are a lot of films set in a particular universe or parts of a franchise, often some guesswork is involved as to which one of the series it is.

Framed - The daily movie guessing game

Guess the movie from 6 frames. Come back each day to see if you can guess the daily movie, or visit the archive to answer the days that you missed!

I got it by typing Motorhome Mexico Film into google. I've never heard of it let alone seen it so I pronounce this quizzing 'technique' as definitely cheating.

I tried that on a much earlier round (wrongly) - Pineapple Express IIRC :D
