Just over a year ago, I posted about the way cool "Crazy 4 Cult" art showing at Los Angeles' Gallery1988, which inspired (and provided plenty of material for) the Film Art section here at Movie Dearest (of which, ironically, this is the 50th post). Well, they are doing it again this year (now through September 12), and it looks like the art on display is just as provocative and exciting as last year's selections.An example is the piece excerpted above: a 39 x 12 inch cult film geek's dream line-up by talented San Diego artist Andrew Wilson. You can see the whole thing (and even order prints of it) at the gallery's site or visit this website to use an interactive feature where you can magnify the different characters to see them up close. This will come in handy if you plan to enter the gallery's contest to win a copy of the poster signed by the artist and film director Kevin Smith. All you have to do is correctly identify all 131 characters and the movie they came from ... that's all.
Just for fun, I've started a list of the ones I could figure out in the comments section below (movies only; if you want to enter the contest, you'll have to do a little work on the character names). Feel free to add the ones I missed or correct the ones I got wrong by leaving a comment.

Some guesses that could be WAY off, but I'll share anyways:
5. The Big Lebowski
114. Dawn of the Dead
120. Tank Girl
Not sure about "Tank Girl", I never saw the movie and I can't find any pictures resembling those characters. They appear to be together ... are they from "Barbarella" too?
And #5 isn't "Big Lebowski" ... at first I thought it was Luke Wilson in "The Royal Tennenbaums", but he had a beard in that movie. Could the can on the ground next to him be any clue? And he could be with the girl I think is Lara Croft, not entirely sure on that one.
Thanks for helping! Hope all is well with you,
