That last picture has me vexed. It looks like the ass end of a small airplane in a place with comfortable weather, but other than The Good Shepherd or Lord of War, my brain is a blank.

I have no idea how to get a good capture. I pause the movie on Power DVD, press capture, copy it to Paintbrush, then upload it to Photobucket.

Sneakers and Spaceballs are correct. I realized after posting that I quite possibly have posted identical or similar shots before...I was trying to energize the thread, and perhaps did it a bit hastily (I threw all the movies I could fit into a case, and uploaded at work), going for shots that are too cryptic. My apologies.

I have my capture settings set to capture in the "current videowindow format" (or the Dutch equivalent of that anyway). That'll mean that if you simply have a DVD playing at the right aspect ratio (meaning you're not watching a screwed up window in the first place) and haven't adjusted your player's window size, it'll make a 1024 x 576 screengrab from an anamorphic PAL source. That should give you the correct aspect ratio for your image.

Anyway, number 17 is Magnolia and number 27 is There Will Be Blood. Number 15 looks awefully familiar.

I just tried it, and that indeed did it. A bit too late for this current batch, but good to know. :D

And both your Paul Thomas Anderson answers were correct.

#3, 9, 11 & 12 are incorrect. 11 & 12 were already correctly identified by Marian as Spaceballs and Sneakers. The rest are quite correct indeed (27 is correct and was previously identified by Marc).

Fourteen down, thirteen to go:1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26.

Can you post the remaining pictures left to be answered? I'm too lazy to hit the back button all the time.
