Probably a bit easy but at least it's a bit of fun 
Some like it Hot?
starring Marilyn Monroe?
"I'm a man!"
"Well, nobody's perfect."
Love that movie.
"Say what again!"
What?
MarkNelsonMovies, right on the ball 
Sorry I missed the first post on this thread, and I didn't post 3 facts about the movie, so here they are
(1) The dress was on Antiques Roadshow in 2008 and was appraised for $250,000
That plus the Uke is how I recognized the movie, even though I've never seen it.
(2) The movie (and others with uke playing stars) helped to popularize the Ukulele internationally.
(3) At least one of her costumes was so fitted she had to be sewn in.
Congratulations Mark 
it's your turn!
And Willow Tree, that's probably my favourite line, in a movie full of memorable quotes.
Well then, to continue the theme of black and white movies that are probably older than most of them members of this forum,
Here is a frame from one of the more iconic moments in film, that will either be really easy, or really obscure depending on what kind of movie buffs the users of this forum are.
One Week
1920s short comedy
Buster Keaton
Famous house stunt
close, but no cigar 
Wrong movie, wrong collapsing house, right actor and time period.
Would it be Steamboat Bill Jr.?
Ta-da!
Correct! It is Steamboat Bill Jr.
Buster Keaton is great On a quick side note, Every Frame a Painting released an excellent video essay on Keaton a few weeks back.
Alrighty, here's the next frame:
Judging by the writing, I'm assuming its either a German film, or perhaps a Scandinavian film, in which case, I have absolutely no idea what it could be.
I know what this is - studied it last year - but I want to give other people a chance, since I only just won a round. It's a great film; a really interesting exploration of the notion of spectatorship (or at least, that's one of the ways you can read it).

Ooh, I know this one, even though I haven't seen it personally.
Das Leben der Anderen ("The Lives of Others") (2006)
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Takes place in Cold War-era East Germany
Won the Oscar for best foreign film
That's it, Mr Vertigo! Nice work getting the German title as well. You should definitely check it out when you get a chance. Like jampot said, it's a great film with interesting themes.
Admittedly the title wasn't too difficult, seeing as I speak the language myself. Coming to think of it, there's a DVD of it in my family collection (which is how I recognised the frame), but I haven't actually gotten around to seeing it myself. I should probably do that one day...
Anyway, here's mine. Incidentally, this film has a few things in common with the last one, although it may be slightly obscure if you're not into this sort of cinema.
Wings of Desire
- Directed by Wim Wenders
- Starring Bruno Ganz
- Released in 1987
