I don't want to spoil everyone's fun, but the odds of winning through guessing on this contest is ZERO!

Rats!  I Googled the phone number and got no good hits.  I'm wondering if the documents next to the phone are supposed to provide a clue.  Looks like that phone was used by a left handed person . . .

[Dennis Markham]

For the record, Dennis has no clue from which movie that phone appeared.  I have been avoiding making a guess because it would be just that.....but what the heck, I'll take a stab at it.........Since the Christmas season has passed, maybe Mark was watching It's a Wonderful Life and the phone appears there???

[Dan/Panther]

This phone appears in a home video shot by you, and screen captured and converted to Black and White. It's your own phone.

Mark;
Please clarify that statement, because if the movie has a title,  it is possiblt to guess it. Since you said no hints were forth coming, then that must be an absolute statement ?
Did tou mean to say practically impossible?

Oh boy, that would have been devious of me!  Even if I had thought of it I wouldn't have dared...I'm not up for getting lynched!

Wow, Dennis...that's a great guess!!!  (but it's wrong)    :

[Mark Stevens]

Hey, this is no fun...I've really stumped you guys!  To elaborate on my "guessing won't get it" statement, what I should have said is that the person that gets it right will know they've got it, as they will probably have to see the film in order to identify the capture.
I've tried to think of a clue I might toss out, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't make it obvious.  I'll think on it.

[Dan/Panther]

Don't give up on us yet, we still have a long ways to go.
