Sometimes, Freud tells us, a cigar is just a cigar. But in the case of Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper we might suspect that he’s compensating for something. Perhaps the loss of his essence.

I’ve heard that this watch is a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon 5002P, which is apparently quite the thing. It costs well over a million dollars. Really. I don’t know if any of the other timepieces on display in this week’s quiz are quite as pricey, but the degree of difficulty in identifying the movies they appear in has definitely been dialed up.

It’s time to break out the cosmetics for this week’s quiz. See how many of these movies you can identify just from the gals (and guys!) adding some colour to their lips.
No peeking? Well, maybe just a quick look in the rearview mirror. In this second instalment of movie hindsight, see how many of these films you can identify in a backward glance.

Usually just a note to tell the audience when and where they are (though they can also give weather reports), on-screen timestamps are a handy device in every filmmaker’s toolbox. But do the following names and dates make identifying the movies they appear in any easier?
We all know how Psycho made us feel that it would never be safe to take a shower. But soaking in a hot tub has been the stuff of nightmares as well. Plus they make good places to get rid of bodies. For example, here are some baths you wouldn’t want to get in to.
