Here's a version labeled with some identifying letters if it helps:

K referring to the letters as a whole, M to the wedding thing.

Pretty definitively solved already:

B - Ghost World
C - Mysterious Object at Noon
D - The Marseilles Trilogy
E - Dheepan
F - Tampopo
L - Stalker
N - Sixteen Candles
P - They Live By Night
R - Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels

Wondering whether the "bridal S" is "Marius" ("Marry S") to go with "Cesar" and "Fanny" (pack).

That stalk of corn appears to be stalking. I'm going with Stalker.

I'm sorry, what does the Q represents?
The wall and ceiling?
Also I believe the A and O are one clue really (since the musical notes are around the flags).

And what about the window?
It was mentioned that it may be Sunset or Tree of Life, but what does the prison window could stand for?
Shawshank Redemption? (in combination with the tree)

Could the "I" be for an upgrade of Missing?

I doubt the I is anything - it's just the empty space for the D pan (Dheepan).

I like that whoever lettered the pic did the D Pan twice but didn't even bother to label Jeanne Dielman

The "S' has a crown. It's Princess Bride. Also the musical notes are only around the Cuban flags, so mostly likely is Buena Vista Social Club.

I dunno, but it seems really weird to have the things where the I clue is there if it's just to make the Dheepan clue make more sense.

The Q is meant to represent the warehouse aesthetic of the whole thing. Some of these have the entire setting be a clue and others are just a background.

I don't think it's a crown.
It's just that wedding thing brides wear on their heads. (don't know how you call this in english).

It's a flower crown, for brides not princesses (& hippies too)...

So, K refers to letters D and T and not STD?

K is an 'R' (has outline going into clothes like the 'S')

The S might be relevant to the D and T thing, but no one knows until someone can come up with a reasonable guess for what it might be.

These letters referring to different letters is getting confusing. But yeah, as jwd just said, the previously-cited "D Man" appears to actually be an "R" (check the dotted lines under his shirt)

Oh, I didn't notice that.
So it's an R with a groom.
What could that be?

Also I really hope F & H is Arsenic and Old Lace.

I cant make out what is the G.

Yep. Stalker now makes more sense (Stalk+R).

As silly as some of us may seem, admire just how spectacularly misguided this Criterion.com commentator is:
The clock: After Hours, 1985 Gravestone: Grave of the Fireflies, 1988 Cuban flags: I hope really, so bad, please please let it be: Memories of Underdevelopment, 1968 and La muerte de un burócrata, 1966 - please, please :) The roman figure: Quo Vadis, 1951 or Julius Caesar, 1953 The box with a question: Deathtrap, 1982 The cooking lady: Babette's Feast, 1987 ?
