Film? Connection? - 5

I've added the last one to see if I can baffle C2?
** ** **

Already to season 5 on film connection, wow!

>2 Foghorn-Leghorn: I find it incredible that you guys are still playing the game. Thanks for taking the time!

#3 Tango and Cash

I have seen number 4 but I can't for the life of me remember the film or the actor.

#4 I think I got this but I will wait till C2 responds.

I wasn't sure if the bloke was famous in America too?

#2 is Seven Pounds - a real heart-breaker, that one... :-0

I don't know the other two...

Still working on one more, but the connection has to do with money.

>8 C2.: We're waiting!....(drums finger-tips on table)

1) For a Few Dollars More (1965)
4) Half a Sixpence (1967)

It's a shame it's not an Olympic event, We would be gold medallists every time. I'm not sure you'll appreciate prize #1 today, but I love it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSNroKf2WkU vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HptmXm956oI

>11 .cris: Actually, I can't claim any Olympic level excellence...I've missed a lot of connections and unlike the others members who have a busy life, I sit around watching paint dry so I indulge myself in some challenging movie searches thanks to you...a lot of it is pure luck in finding a clue to the name of movie.

I got myself in a bit of a pickle with this, so had to resort to a brand new film with a dubious connection!
#4 has a clue in the photo.

** ** **

#2 is Matthew Mcconaughey and Zac Efron in The Paperboy
#3 is William H. Macy in Door to Door

>14 jguidry: That's two right. I thought the William H Macy film might cause problems.

Connection: People and companies that deliver things to the door.

Postman, Paperboy, Salesman, Amazon.com

>16 C2.: I thought Amazon was going to throw a spanner in the works. Well done you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUibhM9pG2A vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ45VxN6UqE

>17 .cris: Thanks they sure sang great!

What is the 4th film?

>19 JulieLill: Here's a Jeopardy clue:
It was the original movie recently remade in 2016 starring Kelly Macdonald, Andrew Scott and Rafe Spall. Hint: The first word is on the boat.

** **

Well, I know #2 is the Last Emperor

- Little Caesar
- The Last Emperor
- The King's Speech

Rulers or Monarchs

www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYvachfdpPI&list=PLDFFrmF-5UPhrhraknL7WjU6zTPU18oZ6&index=5

>20 C2.: Swallows and Amazons ?

>25 JulieLill: Correct!

Wow, I can't believe I didn't recognize The King's Speech!!!!!!!

A musical connection today. They're in the right order to make sense. I wish to state I haven't seen #1...honest!

** --

#1 Tooth Fairy

Agree with >29 JulieLill: that #1 is Tooth Fairy
#2 is A Tale of Two Cities
#3 is Escape From New York

The Pogues: Fairytale of New York?

You know what's coming, don't you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8

I've got another picture lined up as a clue if needed.
** **

1) Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
2) Chariots of Fire (1981)
3) The Shooting Party (1985)

Someone else can guess the connection.

Ways of dying? by poison, fire, shooting

>30 ScoLgo: Never of The Pogues: Fairytale of New York.

>34 Foghorn-Leghorn: Absobloodylutely!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSav51fVlKU
>35 JulieLill: Did you mean to type: Never "heard" of The Pogues etc.

An extra recommended film from me today and one to baffle C2's facial recognition software!
** ** **

#2 is Dead Man Walking
#3 is The Green Mile

So far so good!

1) The Executioner's Song (1982)
4) Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2005)

Connection: Capital punishment/death row

I award myself the prize today. Just because it's an amazing song!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2hA_Xjr33E
Has anyone seen Pierrepoint? Timothy Spall at his second best, I think. Secrets and Lies is my favourite Tim Spall film. I see Rafe is doing a pretty good job at keeping the family reputation in tact.

One of these may be a bit too British!
** ** **

#1 Cider House Rules
#2 Rum Diary

With that, I will venture to say the theme is alcoholic drinks.

You're right Fogs. Let's see if anyone can come up with the other two beverages.

>37Yes, as I am re-reading it, a day later , I am going what??? My mind goes faster than my typing.

>43 .cris:
#3 is Tequila Sunrise

I don't know what #4 is. I don't recognize any of those actors.

Number 4 Is Whisky Galore, a 1949 Ealing comedy. Gordon Jackson and James Robertson Justice are in the picture.
>46 JulieLill: I don't believe you don't know that song? Is there a working anti-dote to Christmas songs? Where can I get a shot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6gcG3t-RI4&list=RDa6gcG3t-RI4#t=63

An extra clue to a difficult connection.
** ** +

I know #2 is Elmer Gantry.

Yes.

#1 is a Bug's Life
#3 is Porky's
#4 is Sylvester Stallone

a Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes connection

Goodness me Jaret! I thought that was going to take a while. Well done.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EykJCbu8jZw

I'm a major Looney Tunes fan! I didn't know Elmer Gantry, but I knew Sylvester Stallone and Bugs Life. Once I made the connection, Porky's was easy to figure out. LOL

>49 .cris: I gotta say... that was a clever bunch of connections.

>55 ScoLgo: Yers, cris is getting cleverer and cleverer.

Not cleverer, just desperate! #4 is NOT a recommendation in the foreign film section.
** ** **

#1 The picture link is broken.
#3 American History X

Thanks Julie. Same picture, different source.

#2 World War Z
#4 Y Tu Mamá También

#1 V for Vendetta

My son helped.

Topic- V, W, X, Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7796-au8U

>62 .cris: My, cris, aren't we getting all fancy. A gif smiley face!

Who's avoiding wrapping the presents for grandchildren? Who's Santa?
** ** ** ** ** **

Hulk Hogan, ???, ???, Billy Bob Thornton, ???, Tim Allen, ???

1) Hulk Hogan - Santa with Muscles
2) David Huddleston - Santa Claus the Movie
3) Edmund Gwenn - Miracle on 34th Street
4) Billy Bob Thornton - Bad Santa
5) Homer Simpson's Santa's Little Helper aka No. 8 aka Suds McDuff of America
6) Tim Allen - The Santa Clause
7) Richard Attenborough - Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

The connection should be obvious. What're the films?
** **

>67 .cris: No Disney animation by Lewis Carroll?

Too obvious!

#2 Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice

1) Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
3) Still Alice

Connection: movies about "Alice"

>71 C2.: Too easy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPHKVWCxHtI

** **

>73 .cris:

#1 = Groundhog's Day
#2 = The Desert Fox
#3 = The Mouse That Roared

Connection = Furry Animals?

>74 ScoLgo: I thought #2 was The Desert Rats (rodents), but it seems James Mason played Field Marshal Rommel twice. I wonder why?
Bravo for getting #1!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aP4GaAruws

>75 .cris: Perhaps Mason did such a good job in The Desert Fox that they hired him again two years later for The Desert Rats, (I should have made that 'rodent' connection... ;).

>73 .cris: I loved the picture of Peter Sellars with glasses, helmetand chain mail or maille on.

>77 JulieLill: Did you recognise the very first Dr Who, William Hartnell with him?

>76 ScoLgo: I just thought that the wounds were still too deep in 1951 and 53 for Rommell to be a heroic figure and being associated with a recent mortal enemy could have harmed Mason's career. My Dad was a Desert Rat.

What comes next? #1 is a franchise film. I have no idea what the title is!
** **

#3 Soldier Blue, I really loved this movie when it came out. I can't imagine why, though.

>78 .cris: I am not a Dr Who fan so I did not know who he was but my husband watches that series so he might have known.

#2 Tailor of Panama
#1 Tinkerbell

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy
no spy picture?

Tinker, tailor,
Soldier, sailor,
Rich man, poor man,
Beggar-man, thief.
We used the rhyme at school a bit like "eeny, meeny, miney mo, catch a ****** by his toe. If he hollers, let him go", to choose who was "it". (Oh my, it doesn't bear thinking about if that word was heard in the playground these days!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlrOaJFf6tg

** **

Bodies of water/ waterways

>86 C2.: You got it!

>80 .cris: The man who is pictured in Soldier Blue icon was in the mini series Rich Man Poor Man. Was that a coincidence or did you know that?

Wow, that song video was pretty disturbing!

>85 .cris: Okay, What was the last film? I know the 2nd was The Old Man and the Sea and the 1st was On Moonlight Bay.

>89 JulieLill: The Straight Story

I love David Lynch's Straight Story. I seem to remember Foggie doesn't share my enthusiasm.

** **

#1 Father Goose
#2 Bad Day at Black Rock
#3 Logan's Run

Connection....I don't know

>91 .cris: You are right, I didn't care at all for that movie. But can you remember the movies I really like that you like too?

>94 Foghorn-Leghorn: No. I can only remember feeling crushed when one of my favourites leaves you cold!
You got all the films right today.

No one got the connection for yesterday's film quiz.

** **

A film of the mid 50', a film of the mid 60's, a film of the mid 70's?????????????

>97 Foghorn-Leghorn: 00's, 90's, 60's

#2 is So I Married an Axe Murderer with Mike Myers
#3 is the Sword in the Stone

So I'm assuming #1 has a weapon connection (axe, sword, etc)

>99 jguidry: You're right Jaret. C2'll know #1 if nobody else does.

Yesterday was the connection berries?...goose, black, and logan.

#1 House of the Flying Daggers...daggers.

>101 C2.: I knew I could rely on you to keep it all neat and tidy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-F3vSrJIUQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bd5YUEOwlE

>102 .cris: Thanks! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017! It's been fun, cris!

Happy New Year everyone. It's been a fun year, cris and you have done a marvelous job of keeping this group going.

Happy New Year everyone! A big shout out to cris!

Aw shucks guys!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

** ** **

I apologise for the picture of "She Who Must Not Be Named"

#1 Boys Don't Cry with Hilary Swank
#2 Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts
#3 Stand by Me

Yep! Any ideas?

All the pretty boys stand up...lyrics in Pretty Boy Swag.

#4 Blue Velvet

>110 C2.: You're on the right lines C2, but it's not that obscure (Pretty Boy Swag???) Choose your prize when you've guessed 1, 2, 3 or 4? I'd choose #1.

Three, and a .cris recommended foreign film.
** ** **

Yesterday's connection: Boys Don't Cry, Pretty Woman, Stand By Me, Blue Velvet: Song titles.

Today's connection: The circus?

#1 is Bird on a Wire with Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn

That's all I got this time.

>114 C2.: There's no holding that gel back! Which prize did you choose for the song title?

I'll go for 1 since you'd go for it.

#2 They Shoot Horses, Don't They
#3 Water for Elephants
#4 The King and the Clown

Just finishing up so you can post new pics tomorrow, cris.

>119 C2.: Cross those T's. Dot those I's. It has to be that way!

I always love an excuse to sneak one of my favourite films in!
** ** **

#3 Planes, Trains and Automobiles
#4 Adam's Apples

Yar! There's no way they can be connected?

#1 The Place Behind the Pines
#2 A Nightmare on Elm Street

Can't think of a connection.

The connection must be types of trees?

I'd forgotten there was a plane tree until I began my laborious research for the quiz..Google "types of trees"!
Cat lovers: Look away now!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osS8uOac6Jg

I struggled to find films for this connection, so forgive me if they are a little obscure. #4 is the guest foreign film. I think Fogs has seen it.

** ** **

>126 .cris: I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW FUNNY THAT MOVIE WAS!!

>128 Foghorn-Leghorn: How? With me reminding you every five minutes!

I know!!

>127 .cris: I think that is Rita Hayworth in #3 and Albert Finney in #1 but don't know the movies. This may help others.

#1 is The Dresser.

You're right on the actors and the film, Julie. It is a really hard one today.

>127 .cris:

#1 The Dresser
#2 44 Inch Chest
#3 Separate Tables
#4 Baenken (The Bench)

Connection = Furniture

>134 ScoLgo: Terrific. I can't remember why I chose this prize. It was mentioned as a soundtrack on one of the above?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLZl-hhbXDI

When they were young! I did take a liberty with the spelling of one of our connections.
** ** **

Birds-- Pidgeon, Finch, Gosling, Jay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz6iENNnf08
I don't think Peter Finch ever looked like this!

Three plus a foreign language film.
** ** **

#1 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
#2 Empire of the Rising Sun

>140 JulieLill: Two for Julie!

I think Carol's mum might be able to guess who the actor in #3 is.

These connections are neighbours!
** **

>142 .cris: #3 That is Rudolph Valentino in Blood and Sand. I don't know what the movie is with everybody in white shirts is.

Topic- beaches

>143 .cris: Platinum Blonde #1
Woman In Gold #2
The Fifth Element #3

Topic- metals

>144 JulieLill: The German film was The Wave (2008). A teacher begins an experiment with his class of modern day youths who don't see how the Nazi party came to power. A very good and disturbing film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV4jHYbma9E

>145 JulieLill: You chose the wrong Bruce Willis film, but you inadvertently mentioned the connection.

I saw The Wave but I didn't recognize it.

Isn't the Bruce Willis film Mercury Rising?

I think my dad dragged me to that one with him.

Yes Jaret. So how are they neighbours?

>146 .cris:

I love Ella Fitzgerald and as a teen had some of her albums. Unfortunately our record player broke recently and we got rid of all our records, though most if not all had skips in them so if you wanted to listen to them you had to stick by the record player and keep pushing the needle. Now I can listen to all my favs online.
