Puzzle Description:

I'll give everyone a hint because it has been complained that there are too many movie titles to guess. Almost every one that I have published are Top 100 all time movies. Either that, or they are very recognizable pop culture. If I deem a title obscure, I will certainly give a hint. It isn;t the title, it IS the artist. Once again, WINNER receives ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

There is not a thing wrong with the movies,titles and most certainly not the artist. Of the 38 published in your series, Tom, I have been able to guess maybe three. Once someone wins absolutely nothing I have that moment of slapping my forehead and saying of course I see it now! It is a fun series that I, for one, look forward to doing everyday.

So do I Tom,i've gotten some but i'm always too late but i've enjoyed the series immensely.:)

I'm not sure what you mean by "the artist," but I'll guess Born on the Fourth of July, because that looks like a baby in the corner. Ooh! Maybe it's Dirty Dancing, because you put Baby in the corner!

HaHa Kristen, I agree!
#5: Kai-Uwe Zickerick (conzick) on Feb 29, 2012
I don't have clue, but it's solvable without guessing (the puzzle, not the movie...)

Your guess is as good as mine!

Born on the Fourth of July?
Little Miss Firecracker?
Ghost Writers in the Sky?

lol @ dirty dancing reference
#9: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 29, 2012 [SPOILER]
oh, and my guess is American Graffiti.
#10: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Feb 29, 2012
Ooh, that's much better than my guesses!

to quote you dbouldin (but switching out my name for yours):

"have a feeling that [dbouldin] is about to be bestowed with nothing."

If, by Tom saying,"It isn't the title, it IS the artist," he means that the R/W/B USA represents the artist, and not the movie title...then the answer cannot be American Graffiti. However, "American Graffiti" is a perfect answer if the R/W/B USA represents the title. Lol...the little figure with the blue block for a head even has his arm outstretched as if he is spray painting the graffiti!

Coongratulations, David!!! You ARE the GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I read some complaints that there are too many movies available to opportune a guess. I responded in the description of this puzzle that I really try to make the solution to the title solvable. I am not posting obscure movie titles, but I (the artist) sometimes am not very good at giving the proper picture. The thing in the lower left is a paint spray can.

Thank you Nancy, Aldege (why didn't you guess), Kristen, Stephanie, Kai, Bugaboo, JoDeen.

Tom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for my comment on your movie title puzzles to come across as a complaint. It was just a suggestion to make these a little more enjoyable. I really do like this series, or I wouldn't be solving them.

I came close on this one. I was thinking America and I thought that looked like a button, but I couldn't put the two together. Now, like Nancy, I am once again slapping my forehead and saying "Of course!" :-)
#17: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 29, 2012
Thank you Teresa. I try tmy best. Sometimes I hit the mark. Best, Tom

BTW...I think this was a perfect puzzle by my standards. It wasn't simple to solve (should have been all b&W 20x), but perfectly conveyed the solution. I was proud of this one. After solving a semi-difficult puzzle, it required some thought. It was artistic enuf... Aldege was in there, I am surprised he didn't guess.

Last comment. This was incredibly difficult to draw and make solvable. I added pixels, then deleted pixels, I found I could have no overlap in several areas. Less was more. I spent about five hours on this litle puzzle. I redrew all the letters umpteem times. I was going ti give the can a green top as I grew more frustrated. I knew the image but it was brutal to convey. Thank you for all of your comments.

Woo! More nothing! ...wait, is that possible?
