Guess The Screenshot (Mobile Data Unfriendly)

I feel I should second delbert's point here.
In fairness if you check back through the history of "Guess the screenshot" thread I'm pretty sure you'll see there has always been a certain amount of overlapping sets and it is certainly not directed just at one person. There are no set rules that I'm aware of but generally, when we're down to the last 2-3 from a previous set it's considered Ok to post a new set. That's partly how the thread stays active - otherwise it would just stall on the last few tricky shots from a previous set. Personally I usually prepare some hints in advance for my trickier ones, it's not much fun if it's just stalled on a shot nobody can recognize. As knowledgeable as the posters are here, they do occasionally need a prompt:)

There was certainly no offence meant, and I even put up a comment to acknowledge the fact that there were still a few remaining from your set and I hoped there would be no confusion.
I stalled on putting up my set until your batch had been reduced considerably, which it was. We've often had new sets go up when there are a couple left unanswered from previous batches. Nobody's ever been put out about it before. I've several pictures that remain unanswered from previous posts, but they usually run their course, so people naturally put up new ones to keep the thread fresh.
There's certainly no clique involved, and it's regrettable that you would think that.

... and there is a link between them all.

3. Sixth Sense

11. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

There are I think 4 main contributers of Picture Quizzes here and between them we get a very good diverse selection of films and genres.

It does get a bit confusing at times but it generally works itself out.

I think it would be a great shame if anyone were to drop out.

(p.s. I never have any problem seeing any of the pictures)

Both correct.
Well done.

I've already apologised to Delbert via PM. Explaining my frustration after the amount of time it takes to prepare a set. I was not aware that not everyone could see the pics I was posting either so I will have to try posting in a different manner.

Bear with me, I enjoy the thread. Chill pill has been taken :-)

Regards,
Andy

Indeed. My sets always seem to go very quickly - I must start making them more difficult!
