upload them to a site

you can use a free one like geocities

they don't allow remote linking

The trick is, once you've uploaded it, change the filename to whatever you want .txt

then you come to post it here, click the Img button, enter the address where it's at

Though done with a mirror, it's great shot from the bottom of the swimming pool looking up at William Holden's body:


Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Always loved how the barrel of the gun was in perfect focus with the actors:


Life Lessons from New York Stories
Doesn't seem to translate well with just a frame, but this entire sequence of one, then two, then a third Nick Nolte appearing to work on different parts of the painting is a wonderful concept in framing and set-up:



Thanks for the help.

There's also another great shot:
The very last shot of "Fight Club" just before the credits begin.
You see Jack and Marla standing hand-in-hand in front of the buildings, which are crashing down.
Could somebody please post that screenshot? It's really amazing.

If I remember correctly, there is a single frame of a penis before the credits on fight club, just like pitt appears on single frames before they meet in the beggining.

meanwhile, here's some Europa:
