It may not be a new idea, among our chromatically-inclined kind, to conjure up a film-inspired color palette or two. But I especially dig the totally awesome pairing of film still photography + their color palettes. It is the peanuts and the M&Ms (sorry chocolate purists).
This totally awesome website, i love hotdogs, is a boon for such stills. And also very handy for updating the netflix queue as well! Mostly cult or independent films from 1940s-1990s, there are lots of images from each of the movies. I picked some neat ones from the various eras and threw in a couple of my own. If you’re looking for more inspiration or want to share some of your own fav’s check out these movie related groups: Moving Pictures, Movie Themed Group, Movies, Stage and Screen, Cinema! & This is my favorite movie!!
The 5,000 Fingers of Doctor T (1953)
E.T. (1982)
Two for the Road (1967)
Less Than Zero (1987)
Cheech & Chong’s Up In Smoke (1978)
And of course, I don’t have to tell you what this last one is.
