Nice matt, I was sure it was this only I couldn't find where Lawrence's artwork came from to confirm. Plus I'm supposed to be having a poster free week on holiday!
Not many at all to be honest! More into digging around in antique/junk shops whilst the mrs sits patiently in the car (not quite the relaxing holiday in Port Douglas she was hoping for )
Picked up a nice couple of 20th Century Fox hexagonal film cans, told her they'll look great in our lounge... she's not convinced!
195: the actress second left looks like Kay Walsh who I believe played John Mills' girlfriend in 'In Which We Serve' could this be from a flashback scene? Although I think she experiences an air raid in a house and not as the image appears as a shelter.
A clue for # 194 is that the company that made this film was famous for making numerous films of a different genre and made very few war films.
A clue for # 195. Not your traditional war film, but a propaganda film set during World War 11. The image source didn't credit the actors.The male standing on the right of the image is the most recognizable member of the cast pictured in this scene. There is also an actress seated that is hard to tell or not if she is the star of the film. I think it is but I cannot be 100% certain. Not required now as answer just received, Well picked Matt.
193 correct and good work Wil in identifying that one
Thanks Lawrence, I think AOF is one of the few B&W early films to use Hawker Hurricanes as opposed to Spitfires.
Apparently eight Hawker Hurricanes were used in the making of the film. Three from the U.K. and five were loaned from the Portuguese Air Force and all were painted over with the colours of the 56 Squadron RAF.
A final clue then. I have worked out the male in the image appeared in Star Wars ( 1977 ) and the female went on from this film to become famous in a certain category of genre films that boosted her career no end.
A final clue for 198 where another sterling effort is required. Two wars featured.
Off the bat all I can think of would be the 1977 Gregory Peck flick - MacAuthur?
It covered WW2 and Korea and your imaged looks like it's been colourised to add into a later colour movie.
Good thinking here but you need to be looking for a much earlier released film. Another thing is that everything you see isn't always what it appears to be.

Above Us The Waves (1955)
Don't worry, I had trouble too.
Hope your taking plenty of pics while taking time off!

More coming up soon, and later on some more from the U.S.A.
Batch five will perhaps be a little tougher than usual, but one never knows.
I don't suppose 194 is a colourised lobby for A Town Like Alice?
The male, although hard to see resembles Peter Finch a tad.
194 and 195 were good guesses but unfortunately incorrect. Keep thinking and I am sure you will end up with the answers.
195 The guy standing is Eric Portman. He was in We Dive at Dawn.
This movie is Millions Like Us (1943)

I know nothing of this film.
Phil Brown and Barbara Shelley in a scene from the film.
Phil Brown with Mark Hamill in a scene from Star Wars ( 1977 ), in which he played Uncle Owen.
Barbara Shelley with Donald Wolfit in Blood Of The Vampire ( 1958 ).
Barbara Shelley in The Gorgon ( 1964 ). A Hammer film production.
Barbara Shelley in the 1950's and 1960's was Hammer's horror number one female star.
Temporary switch in countries. One easy but you could struggle with the other two. Don't worry more ''Best of British'' still to come.
Another one I've never heard of
Correct and well done in pinning down an answer for a difficult entry.
