These are just for a giggle so if you put a Competition up here please don't:
A) Offer prizes - unless its cookie or a cake B) Get upset if people don't complete your competition / get involved.
THESE ARE JUST FUN LITTLE TIME-WASTERS!
OK, I'll start off with
NAME THAT SCI-FI
Pretty much how it sounds! Basically I'm going to put up 30 pictures from well-known Sci-Fi films / series.
Rules:
1. Please PM me your answers, first to get all 30 wins! (and I'll announce it along with the names of all the sci-fi images) Simply put the number followed by what you think it is, eg: 1 = Who Framed Roger Rabbit* 2 = Tin Tin and the Evil Space Monkeys*
2. Each is from a well-known Sci-Fi film or series. However, some may actually be older than you, so feel free to search the net as you may not know them all (yes, some of these films are even older than ME!)
3. Some are MUCH harder than others, but each and every picture has at least one visual clue in it to help you guess. For example is you see just an elbow and think "wtf? how are we meant to know that?" check the image for little clues.
4. If you suspect an image is from one of a series of films (eg: Friday the 13th Part 27) () - you have to get the exact film. Yeah, I know, I'm nasty like that.
5. You are more than welcome to discuss the images here, but please don't post your answers, send them to me via pm.
* = These are NOT some of the films/TV series
ENJOY!

Soude you're rubbish! I command you watch number 1 and its associated media as soon as LW reveals the answers.
I'm stuck on some of the older ones, and 26 is absolutely doing my nut in - I know I've seen it but I just can't put my finger on what it is.

22 absolutely doesn't ring a bell :/
As for n.1 I'm just unsure which one it is... I got two names here and I'm pretty unsure which one it is.
And 26 is absolutely and completely easy ^^, You're rubbish, Smudge! >_<

Incidently, because PJK has got most of these frighteningly fast, it occurs that I underestimated the power of some people's Geekyness on this site, so am not gonna leave this competition open too long.
With that in mind I'll close it tomorrow at 08:00 UK time and post who the winner is.
