You either need to save a reference to the image list, or use 
AssignImageList instead of SetImageList so the ListCtrl will take 
ownership of it.  Otherwise the image list will be destroyed when it 
goes out of scope.

You also need to specify the right size in the image list constructor 
(120,90, not 120,120)

You've specified the wx.LC_REPORT style for the listctrl, but you've not 
added any columns.
