Film Dingbats

[margaretrae]

It is always hard to describe dingbats but I will try and could you please help me finish this quiz. 40. is just et written just like that in the middle of the square. Don't know if it is as easy as it looks. 20. Is ENCOUNTE written in the middle of the square. Thank you very much in advance.

brief encounter?

40. Get Shorty - ???????????

[Flyhalf]

40 is Alien, and 20 Brief Encounter.

[Flyhalf]

Reasoning for answers given:
(once I realised the square was simply surrounding the clue, not a part of it!)
et is an extra-terrestrial or alien;
encounte is one letter short of encounter, thus an abbreviated version, or brief encounter.

Thank you very much everyone. Sorry I confused you with the square but I was trying to describe them as they were written. Again thank you.

Could be ET - the extra-terrestial. Can you help with no. 21 please? A black square to the right of a black oblong with an arrow under the square, pointing to its end?

Sorry Trussell that is not the no. 21 on my sheet of dingbats.
