Oh and Umbrellas of Cherbourg?
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Fiona: The scissors and 'stache could be Sweeney Todd, maybe? The Russian hat: Gorky Park? The tapes with Turkish flag: Cache. Yellow highway lines ending with silence sign: Mulholland Drive. Sticks: Blair Witch Project. Hands with two pills: Matrix? Umbrellas: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Chariot: Gladiator. I think you have the last three.
So let's say:
1. James Bond flick 2. Sweeney Todd 3. Gorky Park 4. Up 5. Last Temptation of Christ (but is there significance in the one struck down?) 6. Godfather 7. Usual Suspects 8. The Birds 9. The Big Lebowski 10. Raiders of the Lost Ark 11. Babe 12. Delicatessen 13. Airplane 14. One Million Years B.C. 15. The Shawshank Redemption 16. Cache 17. Mulholland Drive 18. Dr. Strangelove 19. Blair Witch Project 20.The Matrix 21. Pan's Labyrinth 22. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 23. Ben Hur or Gladiator 24. Silence of the Lambs 25. Borat 26. Groundhog Day

How does the spoiler font work, again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No caret. You just start a line with a lowercase s, like this:
s secret
to get this:
secret

Whoops! ita is right. I am living caffeine free. I make no sense.

Spoiler font: start a new line with an "s", leave a space. Spoiler font ends with a line break.
It would be nice to spoiler-font the guesses, so as not to, um, spoil the film for others.
The tapes with Turkish flag:....
It's the Algerian flag, but I think you're absolutely right (and Algeria makes it even righter, n'est-ce pas?).
Ooooh, Edward Scissorhands - good one. Also, Blair Witch (I knew those stupid sticks reminded me of something, just wasn't sure what).
Where are you getting Back to the Future, Jars? Is it the burning lines (tyre-tracks?). Nice one.
ETA: ita beat me to it re spoilerfont.
