The red windmill IS a red windmill.

Just think Camembert, baguette and moustache. ;)

I'm at 38.

I still can't get the 3 Cs or the guys carrying the flag or the oddball family or the guy dusting the star or the frozen 20 years sign or the giant green dragon or the guy leaning in front of the train or the sign with no old people on it or whatever the crow has got in its mouth or the woman shredding books or the two musical instruments.

What's the other one?

For "the guy dusting the star" one you already said the answer right there. What's the thing and what's he doing to it? For the guy leaning on the train one try and see what he's doing. He's using a bucket of paint.

I'm kind of puzzled on what the hell that columns/rows thing on the water tower is and what that circular poster with the weird symbols on it (also on the water tower) is. Any clues?

One is math-related (the columns/rows thing) and one is astronomy related. How many symbols are there? What are they symbols of? What is the name of that columns/rows thing?

For the frozen 20 year sign, the numerical value has nothing to do with the clue. It could be any number. The "yrs" is the bigger clue and the fact that it is ice.

For the dragon, think about what the single car is about to do to the dragon. Think about it from the cars perspective, not the dragons.

The train one, the guy has nothing to do with the clue, it is what is located on top of the train that is important. The paint he is placing on it.

The sign that says "No old people" is from a recent movie that was a critical and academy darling. It also has 2 of the words in the phrase "no old people" in its title.

The guy hanging from the board between the two towers (hint!)? He's part of that clue, for some reason.

The two flags are separate, though. What's another word for dad? Whose flags are they?

For the two men carrying the man with a sheet with a cross on it:

Spoiler: show
The flag is the Cross of St. George which represents England. Also, the person under the flag is a sick man, think of him as going to see a doctor.

That's as good of a hint as I can give without giving it away because it is not a very good visual clue.

Six left, but I can only see five clues. What's the last one?

By "oddball family" do you mean those men and their kids? Also, just in case you didn't know, the group of kids and the men has two movie titles in there.

And yay for old people, because I just asked my friend's grandparents for any thoughts and they informed me that the woman with those books was using a pulping machine. I'll leave it at that.

Also, clue/complete giveaway for those the musical instruments:

Spoiler: show
They're called lyers, apparently. These grandparents are so helpful!

Woo! Fin. I'm glad that the last one I got was that astronomy-related one as it's a favorite film of mine. I was focusing so much on the fact that it was a poster coming off the water tower and all kinds of other minutiae that had nothing to do with anything. Stupid brain.

Which ones is everyone missing right now?

I'm still missing the musical instruments near the water tank and what the crow is holding.

I'll give you a hint for the three C's and you give me a hint for the instruments. Deal?

Yeah, although Malcolm already hinted on the instruments.

It's not a very good clue. More punny than anything. Think homophones and

Okay, I've got them all bar one... what the hell is the table on the side of the water tower? It's definitely not Water Tower Table or any other combination of those words, because I've already tried putting that in in lower AND upper case numerous times to no avail.

Think math!

What's another name for a table like that?

Also, "whoa".
