In this picture there are an unknown amount of '80s movies referenced. I'm stuck on a few of them, which I'll point out after you've all had a go at it. How many can you list?

Yes, this is part of a quiz. No, there are no prizes, only glory. :)
 
We have 27 so far, with 3 that I'm sure aren't part of the original picture. I would guess there are 30 movies total.


1) Guy holding the white bag behind Crash Davis.

2) Building at the very end of the street (middle of picture)

3) Possibly a car on fire at the tip of Ferris' feet?

I got 16. At least two images I can't quite make out.
Which two?

Actually, make it three!

1) Something above Ferris on the bench?
2) Something on the lamp post above the Blues Brothers car.
3) Thing on the ground in front of the cross-legged chap.

I think that is Stonehenge from "This Is Spinal Tap"

I was wondering about that, too. It does look out of place. Hmm.

That thing in front of Otto (A Fish Called Wanda) is the idol from the beginning of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". :)

Ah, of course! Maybe the lamp post apparition is one of the UFOs from *batteries not included? Bit too artifacted to tell.
 
I think there is 25 movies.

It looks like its part of the orginal picture, I think its an America flag and a grey flag next to it, both are on the side of the building.

I think you're right. It just got pixelated from compression.


edit: Where's my Muban? I know she can identify those last three. :D

Unless im counting the the young and the old guy in the suit as 1. Still only gives me 26 if I count them as 2.

I'll post what we have after a few others get a chance to look it over. No point in this post if it's not a challenge. :)

Looked at them and they all look part of the picture, exceot the building. The car and the man look too distorted.
