I'm on 7 so far, 10 minutes in.
34 after some creative Googling, but can't even see 16 left on the page now!

Naughty!
Not for the answers! E.g. I had a brain melt and didn't know what 5280ft represented. A quick Google had me on the right track.
Edit: 39 and going to lunch...

How do you tell how many you've done so far? Enjoying this :)
Edit - stupid, it's right there at the top
I got 10 so far and didn't expect to get them tbh :D

Can't even get the page to load properly. Had a quick look at work and assumed the proxy was blocking something but I'm getting the same at home - background image, and some framing images but no image in the frame.
EDIT - Works now after I had a think and realised the common denominator was adblockplus getting in the way.
Right, just written tonights classes so am going to have another go now. Am up to 24.
Is it worth trying a clue exchange? I have all but the following:
Crow with the flower.
Windmill.
Car + dragon.
Girl throwing brick.
'CCC'.
Old people sign.
Family with pushchair.
Three chicks and dude on the floor.
Woman feeding books into machine.
Though that's only nine of the eleven I don't have. Could be that some of them are two close together.

Is it worth trying a clue exchange? I have all but the following:
Crow with the flower. - no idea
Windmill. - no idea
Car + dragon. - got this when I realised what the car was doing...
Girl throwing brick. - guessed, never heard of it
'CCC'. - no idea
Old people sign. - they're old men...
Family with pushchair. - clive owen!
Three chicks and dude on the floor. - no idea
Woman feeding books into machine. - no idea
Though that's only nine of the eleven I don't have. Could be that some of them are two close together.
Some hints there, although I don't know some of them....

Others I'm stuck on...
The two flags with "dad's" on them.
The plane towing the sign.
The chart.
The two guitars/things.
The england flag.
Have managed to get 36 so far though :D
OK, I got two before I came back to the thread - the old people sign and the bird.
Look very closely (zoom in) on the plane and the England 'flag'. There's something very specific about both that will give them away. For the guitars and the chart you need to work out exactly what they are. The two flags is hard to give a clue without just handing you the answer!

Woo hoo! Just got that one! :D
18/50 :D

Bird with the flower is 2 different films if that helps?
Yeah, the bird is easy, the flower not so much!
The three little kids next to the family are a different one as well.

I have one of the bird with flower films, still working on the other!
Got the plane (ha ha!), still stumped by the others I mentioned as well as the three little people :/

Just got "ccc" :D
I knew that watching the end of TV programmes would pay off one day! (this is a clue :p)

Up to 41 now...
Can only see 7 that I can't guess as well!
I have 44, with a very obvious 5 left. One of those must be two, either the lady with the books or the three chicks and the guy.
Edit: Forgot about the girl in the turret - a very obvious 6/6 to go then!
I just got two by not really thinking about it... one was a guess and a pretty poor picture! (plane right hand side)
CCC... ah!!1 Thanks Dym ;)

9 left, I still need to guess:
The two flags with "dad's" on them.
The chart.
The england flag.
The fighting girls/bloke on floor.
Lady with books.
England flag thing (GAH!).
The windmill.
The three small people.
And something which eludes me!
I just finished it (with a slight brute force attack on the girl in the tower one). Every one of you that hasn't got the lady with the books will kick yourself! The chicks with the dude on the right hand side is just a real stinker (that's not a clue!). All I'll say is that the girls all look very similar.

AAARRRGHH!!!
Gimme some clues Chris!
Pretty please!
The windmill - think french!

D'oh!
Wewt!
:D
8 left now....
For the lady with the books, you need to be specific about what she's doing to them. The kind of books are important too.
The flower in the top right is just a specific flower.
The flags one is a film from the last five years IIRC. Two films were made showing the same story from different points of view. This is one of them. I think it's that film anyway... never seen it.
The chart isn't a chart. It's a very specific type of mathematical construct.
The England flag is actually a blanket covering someone if you look very closely.
The three people is an Oscar nominated film but I had to go looking for it. It stars someone with the initials KW.
The fighting girls one is ridiculous. It doesn't matter what they're wearing or who they're fighting, it's just important that they all look alike. They could have drawn anyone.

Won't even work for me :(
Dymetrie

Woohoo!
50/50!
Which is interesting as I didn't manage to get the one which was the two flags with "dad's" written on them!

Got 49/50 and wouldn't accept IWAV :(
Was at 49/50 for ages, took me ages to figure out what the one with the three girls was. Finished finally!

I'm stuck on 31, missing loads of really simple ones too that just won't click.
Does anyone know if any of the old ones of these still exist?
If anyone has the full list of answers please can you let me know of them as was thinking of using this for a fundraising competition.
Thanks!
