I love eye shots. And for the past few years I've used March 15 to celebrate them (2009, 2010, 2011).
This year we have a collection of 15 total "eye shot" images, with at least one from the past seven decades! Some of them, perhaps most of them, you'll identify easily. Others ... we'll see ...
The "Eyes of March" is meant first and foremost as a tribute to eye shots, but over the years it's become a fun guessing game, too. I've numbered the images below (consider the image above number "0") so readers can identify the eye shots in the comments.
Enjoy! (Numbers correspond to the image below them.)
My brain hasn't kicked in yet, but I'm pretty sure #3 is Melanie Laurent in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. Oh, maybe #1 too: Matthew Broderick in ELECTION. One more, #4: REPULSION?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Craig on the Inglourious Basterds guess. Is #6 Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia?
ReplyDelete#2 is Ezra Miller in 'We need to talk about Kevin'. I just so happened to watch it last night.
ReplyDelete#2 is Ezra Miller from 'We need to talk about Kevin'. I just so happened I watched it last night, couldn't forget those eyes that quickly.
ReplyDelete#1 - David Duchovny in the X-Files movie? I seem to remember there being some bee business.
ReplyDelete#13 - Will Ferrell in Anchorman.
#14 - Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws.
And #11 is killing me! Can't quite place it.
5 looks like Emma Stone, but I don't know from which movie
ReplyDelete10 is Nixon
11 is Silence of the Lambs?
12 is Public Enemies
14 is The Thing?
Ah. Someone already guessed the last one. Jaws makes more sense then The Thing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I always love this feature, Jason. Your first image is one of my favorite moments from any Alexander Payne movie. Hehe.
Oof I'm terrible at this. Is #7 Pam Grier? #3 is definitely Inglourious Basterds but otherwise I'd be inclined to guess Jackie Brown for #7.
ReplyDelete#12 reminds me of Michael Stuhlbarg.
Oh yeah, Kevin's probably right about 12. Depp, Stuhlbarg, same thing.
ReplyDeleteNice job, everyone. Let me list the correct answers so far ...
ReplyDelete0)
1) Election
2) We Need to Talk About Kevin

The eyes in # 11 kind of look like De Niro. A De Niro with some face make-up.
ReplyDeleteYep! Good job, Anon! Someone take it the rest of the way!
ReplyDelete#9 That's kind of Amanda Seyfried-y, no??
ReplyDeleteBTW... the last 2 Anons are me (Mark O., "Fox", etc.). For some reason I can't figure out how to sign in to this blogger thing anymore.
ReplyDelete-Mark.
Is the Kirsten Dunst look-alike eye the young girl killed in the street from Opening Night?
ReplyDeleteFrankenstein De Niro?
ReplyDelete-Mark
Fox/Mark! Nice!
ReplyDeleteAs for your second guess, it's a good one, but nope. But it is a young actress in a recent film.
Sheila just nailed No. 6! Opening Night!
ReplyDeleteAh! # is Saorise Ronan in Hanna?
ReplyDelete-Mark
Thanks for the hint. I knew those eyes gave me the creeps. I've seen them in my dreams.
ReplyDeleteNot Frankenstein De Niro, nope.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bingo on No. 9, Mark: Hanna

ReplyDelete# 7 - Pam Grier - "Coffy"?
ReplyDelete-Mark
BTW ... If you post anonymously and your comment doesn't officially appear, just know that Blogger is sorting all anon comments into my spam folder at the moment. So I'll approve it; I just might not see it right away.
ReplyDeleteNot Coffy, but STILL on the right track ... getting warmer!
ReplyDeleteWild guess for #8: Pleasantville? Horrible, I know it's not right, but that one is really bugging me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I meant initially appear, not officially appear. Ugh. Trying to do too many things at once.
ReplyDeleteNope on Pleasantville, but glad you were brave enough to try!
ReplyDeleteNo. 8 is by far the hardest one in here, so hint time ...
It's the oldest eye shot of the bunch, made in 1959; and it's not an American movie.
# 8 is bugging me too...
ReplyDeleteLike Sheila, I'll toss one out... Max Von Sydow in "The Virgin Spring"?
And sorry for the irritating "Anon" thing. My computer at work is really jacked up... probablty because they're trying to prevent me from doing this type of stuff while at work. :)
Like Sheila, I'll toss one out... Max Von Sydow in "The Virgin Spring"?
ReplyDeleteAmazingly good guess, submitted before my previous post. But nope.
# 8 - Le Beau Serge?
ReplyDelete-Mark.
5- It's Emma Stone from "Easy A"
ReplyDeleteNumber Zero is "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"- I haven't seen it yet but that shot is great!
ReplyDelete#11 - Robert DeNiro in ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA
ReplyDeleteAndrew picks up two big ones, and gem2 knows his DeNiro. Nice job! Updated list coming ...
ReplyDeleteUpdated list ...
ReplyDelete0) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

2) We Need to Talk About Kevin
3) Inglourious Basterds
4) Repulsion

10) Nixon
11) Once Upon a Time in America
12) Public Enemies
13) Anchorman
14) Jaws
#8 is Nobi!
ReplyDeleteNo. 8 is Nobi, aka Fires on the Plain! Winner-winner!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Lara!
#7: LARRY CROWNE???
ReplyDeleteAlas, no. It's been 24 hours, so I'll give a blatant hint ...
ReplyDeleteIf you kinda sorta combined the first two guesses (Jackie Brown and Coffy), you'd get this other very famous titular role ...
Ah, well, FOXY BROWN seemed too obvious, but...
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is!
ReplyDeleteThe irony is that the eye shot comes from the opening credits of Foxy Brown, so the title and the eye shot are married.
Nice job, everyone. Thanks for playing. This is a fun tradition.
