  • C15 Strangers on a train
    Yes it is Strangers On A Train from 1951. I viewed it for the first time only earlier this year. One of Hitchcock's finest.


  • Bruce said:
    Is C19 Fail Safe?
    Another good guess, but unfortunately not correct. All the recent guesses have been so close to the releases time of the film in question.



    A final clue.
  • C19 Seven Days in May

    Sure is Seven Days In May ( 1964 ). The film makes interesting viewing today.

    That is the back of Burt Lancaster's head in the image..

     
  • I knew you would have it Jayn!
  •  C20
     C21
     C22

    Another three images to add to this certainly fast moving quiz. I had high hopes for this particular new quiz and I am certainly more than happy with how it is faring

  • C20 Perl Harbour

    Good guess, but the wrong country the bombing is taking place in.

  • C21 Once Upon a Time in the West ?
    C22 I was going with Dances with Wolves but can't remember that scene unless it was in the extended version

    i really like you having a go Sven. Unfortunately not either of them.

     C21 clue is that the film is set in the period after World War 11.The image which was originally shot in Cinemascope appears at the very beginning of the film.

    C22 clue is that the buffalo are actually being shot and killed during the production as part of a scheduled herd-thinning. Sad to watch on screen.

    Thanks Hondo. Looks like I will have to research more. Hopefully someone else comes up with the answer in the meantime. 
  • C21 Bad Day at Black Rock

    C21 Bad Day at Black Rock
    Correct. Bad Day At Black Rock from 1955. Ernest Borgnine ( pre Marty ) and Lee Marvin played memorable villains in the film. 

       
  • C20 Australia, but never would have got it without the clue.
    You and I will have to disagree on this one being a "classic" film.  She absolutely ruined it for me...
  • C20 Australia, but never would have got it without the clue. You and I will have to disagree on this one being a "classic" film.  She absolutely ruined it for me...



    Correct. Australia was a 2008 release.


    Ves you are referring of course to Nicole Kidman. Some people adore her, while others don't like her at all.. I have a good friend who has viewed Australia numerous times, and has no problem with Nicole's participation in the film.

    List of awards and nominations received by Nicole Kidman - Wikipedia


    In response  to your comment of ''You and I will have to disagree on this one being a "classic" film.  She absolutely ruined it for me..''. , the following I find interesting.
  • I don't dislike her...I thought she was brilliant in Dead Calm, same in Strangerland, but I just found her performance in this one WAY over the top.  I know its a Baz film but still, I struggled to make it through this one.

    Agreed on the "classic" take.  It all comes down to individual tastes :)
  • C22 The Last Hunt. Clue helped 😀

    Correct. The Last Hunt from 1956.  As this film is little remembered today, a strong clue I had thought was required.

     



    Debra Paget as the Indian girl, A bit of trivia I thought may be of interest. ''While filming a scene with Stewart GrangerAnne Bancroft was injured after falling from her horse and was replaced by Debra Paget; in the last sequence, which was apparently not re-filmed, Bancroft can still be easily recognized leaving the cave and starting to descend the mountain.'' ( IMDb )
