I can't quite remember where the old thread went, I think it might have had a different header image once...

... anyway, Empire just dropped this new image that has 50 movies hidden inside it.

The game is pretty straightforward, you just click the link:
http://www.empireonline.com/crypticcanvas/default.asp
and try to figure out all 50 titles. The whole picture is made of tiny little details, and each one represents a single movie. You basically just click on a detail
and type in whatever title it makes you think of. One thing to watch out for—and I guess this is important—is that you have to get the spelling exactly right, including things like "a," "an," or "the." So, maybe use IMDb or Wikipedia if you want to double-check? Oh, and they're only looking at movies from the last 20 years or so.

So, yeah... I've managed to find 43 so far. 🎉

PS
If you post spoilers without a warning, you're gonna get in trouble.

43...

Gosh, it really irritates me that I can't seem to uncover those other 😠

I managed to push my way up to level 45 by leaning on some people who are definitely smarter than me... but I just can't seem to wrap my head around that dragon boss that eats cars. It would’ve been pretty cool if they'd named him "Deep Throat," but I guess they didn't 😁

The thing about this movie is that it's over twenty years old... I entered it without much thought and ended up being spot on... unless there's some recent remake out there that I haven't heard about yet 😕

I'm having a bit of trouble remembering: those three Cs, the woman who destroys books, those two quarters in the corner, the guy painting the train car, and those fathers with their kids... I'm not sure if there's anything else 😠

You all seem to have almost cracked the code, but I am struggling immensely... I actually managed to hit an unbelievable five attempts before giving up! 😁

The visuals are one thing, but this part is just brutal... It’s a clever concept, sure, but it is fucking difficult 😁

Here are a few hints for you.

Carol Brown77 said:I am stumped: those three Cs.

(Have a little fun with the "numbers.")
that woman who destroys books,

(And this part should be taken quite literally...)

those two quarters in a box

(think phonetically..)

, the man painting the train car,

(the act itself matters, even if it refers to something else entirely.)

Carol Brown77 said:and those scenes with the father and children... I'm not sure if there is more.😠

(The film is famous for its long takes..)

Carol Brown77 said:The whole thing about that movie being over 20 years old... I just randomly guessed that and somehow hit the nail on the head... unless there's some newer remake out there I haven't heard about yet 😕

Uh, now I'm feeling a bit lost... I don't really know what to think anymore... 😁

Carol Brown77 said:I can't remember: those three Cs, that woman who destroys books, those two quarters in the corner, the guy painting the subway car, and those fathers with their kids... I'm not sure if there's anything else

So, David Price5 gave some pretty good hints,

but for me, all that's left is: that windmill, the crow with the iris, the dragon, the butterfly, and the bell (though I'm not sure if the butterfly and the bell might actually be two different titles 😕)

Phew... I finally sorted out those father-daughter connections, and it just dawned on me that those little girls are also part of the puzzle 🙂

Man, I feel kind of silly; even after getting some hints, I still can't seem to recall these other 😂

The Bell and the Butterfly are actually one single movie...

While the Crow and the Iris represent two separate films...

I'm kind of torn on whether I should go ahead and flag these responses or just let them be 😁 maybe I'll give things a little more time first...

Anyway, here’s the link to that old game I mentioned: http://www.mms.com/us/dark/dark_game.jsp (my mistake, it wasn't actually from Empire, it was some M&M's thing).

I also managed to grind my way up to level 45 here 😁

quietdriver3 said:what a blowhard,

(just remember what a windmill was actually built for... and the color..)

raven with an iris

(you nailed it :-) )

, dragon,

(what is that car even doing there?)

quietdriver3 said:butterfly and bell (I am not sure what the 50th would be, unless butterfly and bell are two different names 😕)

(the movie is more recent. the title explains it quite clearly)

I believe I just have those kids and the woman with the books left to finish 😢

I suppose they'll just have to wait until tomorrow 😁

And then, I might finally dive into that other one by M&M-a 😁

I’ve only managed to hit a measly 20 so far! 😁

Could I possibly request a bit of assistance with my next step?

Those symbols are absolutely killing me—specifically the ones on that building where it says "20 yrs"
and the one featuring that king at the grill.

After that, I am diving straight into that other one by M&M. 😁

You honestly won't believe what this woman with the books is up to. 😁

I'll just leave it at that. 😁

velvetcrane57 said:Those signs are driving me crazy. What exactly does that "20 yrs" written on that building mean?

(It's already been a day since the response was given. Just remember, this is all part of the British game. ;) )

velvetcrane57 said:And that fellow with the fishing rod.

(Same situation here. I agree with Dana Cruz5. :-) )

Good grief, I’ve really done it this time... I was under the misguided impression that every single character was an independent entity. 😁

You practically spelled out the movie title right there 😉

I just couldn't figure out who that girl sitting at the piano was. I even tried asking my piano and piano teacher 😠
.
Also—does anyone happen to know the name of that musical instrument in the bottom left corner of the photo?

EDIT: Finally figured it out! It completely slipped my mind for a second.
