Poll: Magnificent Images from Movies: Behind-the-Scenes

Cinema has given us some of the best photography, including some that we didn't get to see on the movie screen. Below are several photographs from behind the scenes of films. These images give you a lens through which icons appear as the sometimes silly, sometimes warm, sometimes intently focused, and very real people that they are. Which photograph is your favorite?

To view the images in full size, see the slide show here (recommended).
