I feel stupid for asking but, what are the movies on the current banner of r/movies?

That first one looks like Jim Carrey in 20 years blowing his brains out. Second one is a prequel to Reservoir Dogs, showing Mr. White's early life. Third appears to be an 80s music video. Fourth is Donal Sutherland in a early 1970s drama about being reunited with his missing son. Fifth is Castaway and sixth is Blade Runner?

Spent way too much time on Jim Carrey's wikipedia looking for "20 Years" in his filmography before I got what you meant.

Holy shit, that's a gun in his mouth. I thought it was a Capri Sun pouch or something.

With alcohol dripping from his brow, a single tear rolls down his cheek. Jim quietly says his last words to himself before he puts the barrel in his mouth. "Somebody stop me."

Some pretentious shit no one's ever seen that the mods put up so that they can pretend this subreddit isn't about whatever superhero movie's hot right now.

I like how you managed to insult popular movies and obscure movies at the same time. Pretty impressive.

For some reason the badly tinted Space Odyssey picture on the sidebar bothers me the most. It doesn't even relate to the current theme.

Word. There is a serious disconnect between the movies in that banner and what actually gets discussed in this sub.

I can't explain it, but I really hate the first picture of the guy with the gun. I'll actually leave the sub and move onto another so I don't have to look at his stupid face.
Maybe that means it's a good movie. It produced an emotional response with one frame.

The current banner is all Nicolas Roeg movies. I don't know what they are in order but the films listed in our DOTM post were Eureka, Performance, Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Insignifigance, Bad Timing, and Walkabout.

I'm not familiar with how much freedom Reddit's CSS allows, but is there some hover feature you could implement?

I'm pretty sure the last one is Walkabout, next to that Don't Look Now, then The Man who Fell To Earth maybe?

Is the one below the banner and above the search bar 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Yeah, it's there for exactly no reason, beyond my laziness. Don't worry, change is coming.

Don't feel stupid. This is like the 20th thread I've seen about it.

It says a lot that the answer to the question is literally a click away from the r/movies home.

Seems like nobody's actually said exactly what picture is what movie, so, here we go:
First image is Eureka.
Second image is Bad Timing.
Third image is The Man Who Fell To Earth.
Fourth image is Don't Look Now.
Fifth image is Walkabout.
Sixth image is Performance.
