"HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT"
In this group series (open to everyone with the ability to take screen captures and a public web space to post them in), we look at films from all eras and choose what we think of as the film's best shot (or our favorites as the case may be -- some films have so many options.). Participants are free to explain their reasonings in essay or capsule form or merely post the photos.
