Is the top left the James Bond film, where he flies the Gyrocopter? Not sure which one it was so will guess Goldfinger.

 

Note the the Lavender Hill Mob, you've got to get a question right (& be awarded a DING) before you can ask your question, so get your thinking hat on, but GOOGLING isn't allowed!

A rumpy has no tail and a stumpy has a short, rudimentary tail.
