On Fridays freelance designer Stephen Wildish contributes to his Friday Project: “A project to create something witty or pretty for a Friday.” The collection is must check out for pop culture/internet enthusiasts. His masterful venn diagrams humble the hell out of me and I consider his “Kim Jong Il’s Golfing Career” illustration from last week the definitive KJI internet tribute.
For the holidays Wildish has treated us to a bonus two-fer: illustrated “test your knowledge” film alphabets from the back-to-back decades that molded you into the person you are today, for better or for worse. Answer keys aren’t available as far as I can tell but if you fail to identify 75% then we’re no longer friends. That being said, I could use some help with the Vs. I’m sure I’ll feel like an idiot once they’re identified, especially if they have “vagina” in the title, because my “vagina expert” t-shirt will be rendered completely obsolete.
Full versions after the jump. You can buy prints here.

I have no regret for not recognizing Very Bad Things.
1980′s V: Vice Versa, starring Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage.
We can no longer be friends. Hurts, don’t it?
I for Indiana Jones should be R for Raiders…
R for Rambo should be F since the original title was First Blood.
“Look who’s talking” came out in ’89.
I take it you won’t be purchasing the prints.
So is it “Look who’s talking too”? Or “Look who’s talking Now”?
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Rambo: First Blood part 2.
Technically these would keep the posters correct… I really should go home.
(I know the Indy picture is obviously from Raiders, just bored)
Lol I hear ya. If it was look who’s talking 2 there’d be 2 babies on the cover. And I know that’s a first blood pic, not rambo: first blood part 2 because that image of Rambo is from the end of the first movie when he’s going guns a’blazing all over the town.
Not the Untouchables, The Usual Suspects.
Woops, I was looking at the wrong list, it is the Untouchables. Sorry.
