If you've never seen Class of 1984, it's basically a remake of The Blackboard Jungle with the flamboyant gangbangers of The Warriors replacing the original's Wild One-style delinquents. One of the last Canadian tax-shelter pics, it features rare live footage of Toronto punk band Teenage Head, an early performance by Michael J. Fox, and an ending that will have you asking how something so wrong can feel so right. Due out on February 21st, the DVD features commentary from Lester, a retrospective documentary, and beautifully remastered picture and sound. We'll have a full review at the mother site in the coming weeks.
To win the first copy, correctly identify the movie to which the below frame-grab belongs. (Since this a frame-grab and not a production still, be sure to take note of things like aspect ratio.) As we're only allowed to give these discs away to North American residents, I must ask that our international readers refrain from placing any guesses. Sorry.
If no one gets it in a day or two, I'll start dropping hints. In the meantime, check out our two-for-one DVD review of The Chumscrubber and Thumbsucker.

My guess on the screenshot is Hal Hartley's The Girl From Monday.
Mine is Wicker Park.

Ah, would that pic be from Class of 1984? Oh, comedy.
Let's actually try Desperately Seeking Susan. I dunno. Sounds right.
Closer?
"The Umbrella Girl"?, "Skinny Legs and All"?
Gawd, I'm terrible at these...
Nobody's even reached the ballpark yet. Keep 'em comin'...
I believe this is from Cindy Sherman's remake of "Ms. 45"
Purple Rain?
The Professional?
Poison Ivy!
No correct guesses yet. As promised, a clue: it's not an American movie.
Swimming Pool
Oldboy?
