Did quite poor with this one, shows that there are a lot of films I've yet to see. Also 29 is stupidly familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

Some of them are a little harsh (Movie A rather than Movie A 2, or Subtitle B rather than Franchise B: The Subtitle) but I suppose once you've got it you just have to throw titles at it until it sticks.

Got 11 so far, which is pretty good for my level of film knowledge.

#29 is based on a book and is generally considered a terrible adaptation.

See #8. That's obviously an Alien alien (mostly) but I couldn't get it.

I'd be interested to see if anyone can get #6. It's an unusual and surprisingly good film.

It doesn't ring any bells for me. 12 does, but I've no idea what it is.
Edit: and 28.

#6 - The actor in the image is a very famous musician with a long career. Although even if you can work out who he is I doubt anyone will know the film
#12 - A bad 80s film and a I think the first major role for Jim Carrey.
#28 - I'm sure I've seen this film and that alien is a fake (in the plot of the film, it's obviously not a real alien), but I can't remember which film.

19 should be easy as well if you haven't got it already. It's a spoof film. The scene in that picture is from a movie on the list (it's direct sequel is also on the list).

Me too, it's one of those hidden gems of sci-fi I'm finding very hard to find these days. I love that the alien parts are still very alien, not cliched, even several decades after it was released.

Woo! I'm loving these. 29 isn't an alien though, it's a very mutated human if memory serves.

God damn, 1 and 20 are so familiar it's driving me nuts, and 14 is pretty familiar too.

EDIT: After looking at everyone else's answers I've seen 1 but not 20, so it must not have been so familiar after all.

These were my original answers, plus #9 as I know the alien in the image but it won't accept my answer. It's definitely

, I looked it up on Google image search.

The aliens in #14 are sampling a hotdog. One eats, they all taste it. They are confused it contains no dog. I know that film a little too well.

Just for reference like, but the answers (and spelling variations) are actually available in the page's source code. It'll spoil it though.
