"One Hundred and Eleven One-Second Films, The Third Best Cinema Quiz You'll Ever Take" is a film by Max Tohline
This clip features highlights from 111 wonderful movies from many time periods and from all around the world. Each clip is exactly one second long. Some may be familiar, others maddeningly mysterious.
RULES:
If you can identify a film in the clip, leave a comment with the name of the film only. Comments that give incorrect answers will be deleted, as will comments that list films already listed by another, so please fully read the list below before adding a guess. The YouTube user who correctly identifies the final unidentified film will win... nothing, actually, except the respect and admiration of dozens, me included. There's also a special non-prize for the one who identifies the music correctly. So pass this link around to your friends and see who will win the 3rd-best movie quiz you'll ever take! Good luck!
P.S.: Yes, I know this film has its corny moments.
UPDATE (2 July 2009):
