35 Movies in 2 Minutes

35mm from Pascal Monaco on Vimeo.

Sarah Biermann, Torsten Strer, Felix Meyer, and Pascal Monaco crammed thirty-five of their favourite movies into this slick 2-minute piece of motion graphics. The animation makes this a refreshing change of pace from the countless “minimalist movie poster” designs littering the Internet these days.

Can you name all thirty-five movies?

    Singing in the Rain (song notes falling like rain)
    Titanic (iceberg in the water)
    Jaws (shark teeth)
    Psycho (blood down the shower drain)
    The Gold Rush (the little dance of the forks in the shoes)
    – I wish the red shoes would have clicked their heels clicked 3 times —
    Taxi Driver (taxi signs found on taxi cabs)
    One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (cuckoo sound with bird nest)
    Gone with the Wind (hats fly off shelves due to wind)
    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (a red apple is bitten and has 7 seeds)
    Blues Brothers (2 dark Ray-Ban sunglasses)
    The Terminator (sunglasses with one lit up red eye)
    Star Wars (stormtrooper helmet)
    Pulp Fiction (briefcase opens and its contents emit a bright light)
    The Exorcist (upside down cross and the music)
    North by Northwest (plane propeller coming at us)
    Toy Story (the 3 eyes belong to a green alien toy found in the claw machine game)
    Fight Club (quick glimpse of a pink bar of soap)
    Clockwork Orange (eye with makeup turns into a clock gear with orange background)
    The Tramp (a walking cane, mustache, & hat)
    The Tin Drum (red and white drum)
    Nosferatu -or- Dracula (fangs with drop of blood)
    Battleship Potemkin (baby carriage falls down stairs)
    Easy Rider (red white and blue colors while riding down the highway)

  • Njsjourno

    surely Apollo 13 when rocket goes up but moon has cross on it

  • Nickthehat

    Would the splatterd Peace sign be the Kubrik film Full Metal Jacket?

  • Totidesign

    I think the baby carriage on the stairs could have been from The Untouchables as well.

  • Dbmahan

    the baby carriage in Untouchables was an homage to Battleship Potemkin. …guess film class was helpful after all??

  • Dbmahan

    other possibilities- 2001 space odyssey (the monolith @ 0:54?), the great dictator (1:23-24), rear window (1:25-28)

    This is delightfully clever. Nice work.

  • Davinci990

    First thought at baby carriage before stairs action — “Rosemary's Baby”

    Gears appearing *before* A Clockwork Orange — “Modern Times”

    Forks-dancing was also a Chaplin homage in “Benny and Joon”

    Sharp designs, even if I can't get half of them… thanks for the fun!
    LOvE this site– a daily read, even on your vacation. ;o)

  • hmm

    where's the peace sign from?

    Look up the Cinebuzz intro from Event Cinemas in Australia. They have something very similar as a promotion.

    I like your blog and such a useful information sharing. I appreciate your blog and thanks for that.

    Hmm. I'm not as impressed. I've seen most of the films people are mentioning here, but their names did not come to mind watching the video. I think that indicates the video has failed.
