Solutions:
Film #1 is Soylent Green, directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Charlton Heston from 1973. A science fiction movie taking place in a dystopian future. The first scene was spoofed in a Simpsons episode where Abe goes to a similiar suicide center and wants to hear the Glenn Miller Orchestra while watching a videos of policemen beating up hippies.
Film #2 is The Big Store from 1941, a Marx Brothers movie. Only Harpo Marx is in the first scene, in the hint video you can see Groucho and Chico as well which should make finding the film very easy if you know the Marx Brothers. If you don't know them, you really should watch some of their movies! ;-) Googling for something like 'painted on moustache' would have lead to Groucho Marx as well.
Film #3 is This is Spinal Tap, directed by Rob Reiner from 1984. It's a mockumentary about a British rockband called Spinal Tap. The movie is hilarious and I highly recommend to watch it, even more so if you ever have played in a band yourself: I bet at least some of the scenes will remind you about your own experiences - and the similarities between this fake documentary and Some Kind of Monster, a real documentary about Metallica, are really funny.
Film #4 is Bananas by Woody Allen from 1971. You can see him for a brief period of time at the end of the hint video which should make finding the movie very easy. Googlin for any of the spoken lines would have worked as well.
Film #5 is Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch and starring Johnny Depp with music by Neil Young from 1995. It's a Western (some call it Anti-Western) shot entirely in Black & White. In the first scene you can see Iggy Pop sitting at a campfire dressed as a woman, in the second you see Johnny Depp. Finding the movie title wasn't really hard, everyone who got there solved it.
Film #6 is The Maltese Falcon from 1941, starring Humphrey Bogart. It's one of the most famous and genre defining film noirs and identifying Bogart leads to the solution almost instantly making this one rather easy to solve as well.
The hint is a picture of the movie's ending screen where the eponymous Maltese falcon is seen in the background.
Film #7 is City of Women by Federico Fellini from 1980. The fact that I had to replace the uploaded videos with captions probably made this one a bit harder than it was supposed to be but I think the hints made it easy enough to find the movie as Fellini is probably the most famous Italian director. The additional hint which I posted 2 days ago is a video of the singer Fish (from Marillion) performing one song from his album Fellini Days.
Film #8 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre from 1948, directed by John Huston and again starring Humphrey Bogart. Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston and Tim Holt can be seen in the first scene where they find some gold. In the beginning of the hint video you can see a newspaper giving away the location (Mexico) and the year (1925) of the movie's setting. Googling for 'movie mexico 1925 gold' or something similiar should lead to this film very quick.
Film #9 is Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski, from 1982. You can see captions from a scene where Kinski's character communicates with the natives lurking in the jungles around the river by playing opera music. The bonus video shows a very famous scene of the movie where a whole ship is transported across a mountain.
Film #10 is Ghost World from 2001. In the first scene you can see Thora Birch listening to Skip James' Devil got my woman. The hint video shows some more of the cast, notably Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi.
Film #11 is A Scanner Darkly from 2006, based on the novel of same name by Philip K. Dick. The movie material was animated after it was shot with real actors giving it a very unique look. The hint video showed more of the cast again: Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder.
Film #12 is M by Fritz Lang from 1931. Peter Lorre who already appeared in the video of The Maltese Falcon can be seen in the first video again. The hint video even gives away the movie title in a way as it shows a scene where a street thug writes the letter 'M' (for murderer) on Peter Lorre's shoulder with a piece of chalk.
The bonus movie is World on a Wire by Rainer Fassbinder from 1973. It's a science fiction movie dealing with computer created realities, produced for television.

Thank you all for participating in this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it. :-)
I had problems with Youtube blocking some of my videos, so you have to follow a link in an annotation for film #6 or you end up in a dead end. Sorry!
Hi there.
Inspired by BrutoDetestsSB's Movies based quiz I made my own quiz about some of my favourites.
At the end of this quiz you have the chance to win the Ridge Racer Unbounded Bundle (+ a secret bonus game).
All you have to do is guess what films the following youtube clips are from. Correct answers are the films' English titles and (if they're different) their original titles.
There are 12 regular movies. Additionally to that there's a bonus movie at the end which I think might be too hard for the regular puzzle; solving this as well gives you the chance to win the secret bonus game.
Some of the clips are in German but understanding the dialogues is not necessary to find those titles.
The usual puzzle rules apply here: Don't share solutions or links, don't give hints to others.
The giveaway is open until Wednesday 3rd of October, 21:00 CEST (GMT+2)
So, without further ado here's the first movie: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/lDKo10aB
Hints:
It's an Italian film from the 80s. You can see the film's protagonist in the pictures but you don't see any of the 'creatures' who give the movie its name in them.
This video is a hint.
