I was thinking Hud because of the cattle ranch and also because HUD is a common acronym for "Heads-Up Display".
It would also explain the absence of Blu since it's a Paramount title.

I'd hate to see some of you in math class: "Yeah, I see the two and the plus sign and the other two, but four? Really? Surely twenty-two is more likely?"

Its obviously The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, since yaks are a bovine animal, and those things in the picture are also bovine of some sort, and I saw that movie on TV just like I see them cow things on that TV.
(its obviously Broadcast News)

And here we go with the species card again. I'm sorry, I just don't think cloven hooves render well on BD!

There's two of them, so I'm guessing Scorsese's New York, New York, as part of the MGM deal. The one on the left even looks a little like Liza Minnelli.

I'm sure Criterion will get around to The Great SpaceCoaster sooner or later, Jeb.

They're not buffalo, they're gnus. Rhymes with News.

Gnus are wildebeests. I did not know that. Whoever drew that is a genius. Good one guys.

Done.
If you want to talk about Broadcast News, do it over here. If you want to talk about bovine critters or make silly guesses, I guess you can keep doing that here.

Yeah, the image is even called "wackymonkees." Easy Rider referenced too, I guess. He really should have put a wool hat on one of those monkeys.

There wasn't any blue in last month's
Broadcast News clue either, but they hinted on Facebook it would be released in blu too. Maybe they've abandoned blue clues.

Would be odd since Easy Rider is already on Blu in a special edition and much cheaper.
