Iconic Images

[Malarkey]

 

Arguably the most iconic album cover ever.

 

 

I think this is the best shot in terms of filming history. Yes, it's a romantic film. This is when films of this genre weren't "chick flicks". Any film that's labelled a "chick flick" is only called that because it's a shit, predictable piece of film.

 

Anyway, this is Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca.

 

 

I love Alfred Hitchcock.

 

This is Bates' Mansion. From Psycho.

 

If you're squeamish look away now...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This image is from a movie by Rouggero Deodato (sp?). A controversial horror/exploitation director. Cannibal Holocaust the movie is called. Deodato is a bit of a nutter, well completely mad, but has been the inspiration for an awful lot of horror movies.

 

Voila.

"Tenzing had been waiting patiently, but now, at my request, he unfurled the flags wrapped around his ice–ax and standing at the summit, held them above his head. Clad in all his bulky equipment and with the flags flapping furiously in the wind, he made a dramatic picture, and the thought drifted through my mind that this photograph should be a good one if it came out at all. I didn't worry about getting Tenzing to take a photograph of me — as far as I knew, he had never taken a photograph before, and the summit of Everest was hardly the place to show him how."
