Puzzle Description:

The clue is a rebus. It has nothing to do with the genre of the movie (just the title). Good luck! Winner once again wins ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

2 pixels from initial line logic
edge logic 7 in c20 (completely placeable)
line logic
edge logic 7 in r1 (completely placeable)
line logic
edge logic 3 in r3 (completely placeable)
line logic to finish
no guessing (other than for trying to figure out what the heck this movie is)

if that is a magnifying glass with two eyes [eye x 2] then the movie could be "the private eyes" (conway and knotts - silly movie by the way)

Nice solve, Bugaboo...wrong answer.
#3: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 23, 2012
same logic and much better guess than me
#4: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 23, 2012 [HINT]
It is a bit obtuse. It is also one of the most respected movies ever made.

I'm goin on a limb, but I'm gonna say The Searchers (1956)
#6: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 23, 2012
Bingo, John!!! You WIN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
#7: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 24, 2012
I tis a prize that is eluding Aldege. Feel proud, very proud ;)

lol. I could school aldege with movie knowledge, I just keep solving these puzzles too late
#9: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Feb 24, 2012 [SPOILER]
I'm also too slow to peek at these and figure them out,however it probably wouldn't matter cause apparently i haven't watched enough movies during my stay here on earth to be able to win the cherished ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AWARD. This may not seem like an important award to our good friend Tom King,however it's absence in my trophy case is a constant and painful bite on my buttocks. I feel that Tom should mail me an award just for being a good sport and trying,and also to ensure that i not leave this earth without this most coveted award. By the way,I was going to say,I haven't a clue to this puzzle,then I thought THAT'S IT the movie is Clue. Wrong again,lol.")

This is one I'm not familiar with. I see from IMDb that it's a western, so that's probably why. The western I know best is Blazing Saddles. :D

Al, I'm happy to share some of my ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with you. It's taking up quite a bit of virtual space on my imaginary mantle.
#11: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Feb 24, 2012
I appreciate your generosity and kindness to an antiquated old fart like myself Kristen,however it's not the same as earning my own,so i'll pass with a thank you. Besides i have a feeling your just getting tired of dusting all your awards and are looking for some relief of the chore,lol.:)
#12: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Feb 24, 2012
You figured me out! :D

Nice puzzle. No guessing.
#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 24, 2012
"The Mushroom Has Two Eyes"? Oh wait, John already got it. Good puzzle.
#15: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 25, 2012
@ Kristen & Aldege

Aldege, if I mailed an award, it would be more than ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! It would be SOMETHING and that wouldn't do. If Kristen gave you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! would that suffice? I think not. It would become SOMETHING! I believe you need to EARN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I am willing to give you a time I'll post. Let me know what works for you.
#16: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Feb 25, 2012
Something is better than nothing,...but not in this case,lol. Just keep doing it the way you are Tom,i'll earn one eventually,i'm patient and it will be more rewarding when i finally do earn one. I'm having fun guessing anyway. Kristen can keep her dusty awards,but i appreciate her offer,lol.:)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by jan.

I was way off. I thought maybe "the man with two brains" but couldn't figure how the eyes fit in.

Couldn't understand it.
