In terms of movie history and general mise-en-scene aesthetic, this last one presented a really cool anomaly: Dan and Peyton mistook Poltergeist for E.T. - which adds some fuel to the fire re. who actually directed that film...
The more we play these, the 'educated guesses' are proving to be more fun & fascinating than straight up 'correct' answers, as anyone who plays is unknowingly illustrating direct influences, homages, leitmotif, auteur theory, and a bunch of other highbrow hooey pertaining to the idea of similar themes and styles across moviemaking.
This is exciting, because it breathes some new life into this tired premise, taking it beyond a remedial game of memory. At any rate, keep it up!
Here are the answers from the previous set:
EASY
Plains, Trains, and Automobiles
Poltergeist
Barton Fink
Forrest Gump
Ghostbusters
FAIR
Looper
Toys
Wonder Boys
About Schmidt
The Lost Boys
DIFFICULT
Predator
Night of the Creeps
10 Cloverfield Lane
Miller's Crossing
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
And now, leave the bodies, move the headstones, and turn on your heartlights: here come the new ones.
EASY
FAIR
DIFFICULT

Haha, that's pretty funny that I confused Poltergeist for ET.
ATM I can name (or believe I can):
O Brother Where Art Thou
Last Action Hero
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
But I recognise:
Screencap 2 of the bridge
4 of the puppet Richard Dreyfuss
8 of the license plate
9 of the bedroom
10 of the coins and the ring
But am having trouble actually naming the movies. I'll kick myself if I don't figure them out before you reveal the answers
I recognize What About Bob? (4) and Reservoir Dogs (10)!
The first 2 are O Brother & Last of the Mohicans, "EAT SHIT" plate is Forrest Gump.
Ah, I just recognized the third one: The Devil's Rejects! And is the Honest Abe silhouette from Bill & Ted?
