Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment -- no fair hogging all the guesses.

Mulholland Dr.

Is is *so* not *The Shining.*
The *X-Files* guess is, thematically speaking, the warmest so far, but still fairly cool.

No, but keep thinking "science fiction in the 1990s"...

But I can't think of any 1990's science fiction movies that include footage of "The Shining".
I'll guess "Deep Impact".

Damn it! bitchen frizzy, you beat me to it.

Stargate.

Ryan wins: It's *Stargate,* on the road to Cheyenne Mountain... which *is* the same facility everyone's going to hunker down in in *Deep Impact.*

The Arrival? I know-grasping at straws.
