➤Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original film name, director and year of release for your cinema favourite frame

Always include the original film name, director and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Roma, Federico Fellini, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. Add review? I'ts your choice! In the 'body' of the post you can add your review, a comment or anything else you think about the film. You're free to do that, let's keep the discussion open about the film you just posted. Or just don't write anything and share your favourite frame, is up to you.

➧3. No low-effort/low-quality posts.

Posts made to r/filmsframes are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The frame should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧4. Be Original

Don’t publish stills/frames of a famous film like everyone else, we want to see your own view of a film, your favourite shot, try to publish your favourite still/frame.

➧5. Be respectful.

Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧6. No off-topic Content

Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not film stills/frames) or that contains gory material.

➧7. No spam or reposts.

Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to r/filmsframes, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧8. No advertisement or self-promotion.

Do not use this subreddit to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧9. No memes images or GIFS Please keep the 'frames' and 'stills' in mind.

➧10. Tag NSFW Posts

· Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.

➧11. Look around you... Please watch what is posted already, maybe shots/frames/stills from ‘Marvel’ or other “blockbuster” films or others alike, aren’t the most suitable for this community. Yet, this is relative, if you find your "view/still/frame is artistic enough to post, don’t be shy to post it.

➠ Report if you if like... Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

Not a silent movie, but they did this scene without any dialog. Still funny.

I wonder if this was the first time the two-people-no-mirror gag appeared in a movie.

So you inspired me to do some research. I found this page which has this paragraph:

https://www.filmsite.org/duck.html

The mirror routine, contributed by McCarey, had been used by Charlie Chaplin in The Floorwalker (1916) and by Max Linder in Seven Year's Bad Luck (1921). It was later replicated in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, re-enacted by Harpo with Lucille Ball on a 1950's "I Love Lucy" show episode, and also appeared as part of the opening credits for the 60s TV series "The Patty Duke Show". Actor/director Woody Allen paid homage to the film in his Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) - with an excerpt from the musical number "The Country's Going to War."

So I guess everyone borrows from the past.

P.S. love your username and the old school arcade game I assume it comes from. I just played it the other day via MAME.

Thanks! Yes, it's fantastic. And it feels so ahead of it's time.
