Are you ready for your closeup? 

Let this serve as a kindly reminder that you do NOT want to miss this week's special edition of  Hit Me With Your Best Shot: Sunset Blvd. (1950). The series is temporarily redubbed "hit me with your (second) best shot" as you may not use Norma Desmond's final scene, that infamous closeup... arguably the greatest final shot in the movies.

Anything else will do and there's plenty to choose from in this Billy Wilder masterpiece expressively shot by seven time Oscar nominee John F Seitz.

The movie is available on Netflix Instant Watch. Post your shot choice anytime before Wednesday night at 10 pm online (blog, tumblr, pinterest, twitter, facebook whatever) and let us know you did and we'll link up.

Can't wait to see your choices!

I'm still debating with myself over two potential shots.

Nathaniel. I think you should make it Third best shot. No one should use the opening of Jor floating face down in the pool

My Best Shot was decided long, long ago...just need to choose between potential runners-up.

One of my favorite movies! Can't wait to read everyone else's posts!!!

Also, I agree with @Leslie19, another very iconic shot. Always fun to find one outside of the box. :-)

Of COURSE I had to play with this one; it's a classic.

You can find my shot over at my journal, under the title "Twilight of the Movie Gods." It's in the same scene as the shot we were forbidden to use, but I hope I'll get a pass since it doesn't involve Norma directly.

Looking forward to seeing what other people chose!
