A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.

HONDO

I'll resist providing any clues for a few days. As previously mentioned at least two out of the three remaining images are surely answerable. Let's see then if this turns out to be the case or not.

C534 - The Browning Version (1951) - ?

Yes it is The Browning Version, and well done.  I had thought that this film being a lesser known British one it may have struggled. On saying that though, it is still a well regarded film today.

Two clues for the remaining unanswered C530 and C533 images are both fims were massive box office hits.

dedeposter

C533 - threw me for a sec because the image was black & white, thought the film was much older - Goodbye My Chips (1939), but ended up going down a rabbit hole and realising it's To Sir With Love (1967)

Correct with To Sir, With Love, so I am happy that you ended coming up with the correct answer.

The black and white image just happened to be the only one located that had any suitable blackboard writing material  available that could be used. 

HONDO

  
Something weird  has happened. With my last posting the above two images were attached and did happen to send with the above To Sir, With love summing up details. Overnight they have vanished from my earlier post.

I attempted to resend the two images a few minutes ago, but was it was unsuccessful Very strange indeed.

Fingers crossed all will go well with this new attempt.

I would be pleased if anyone would please inform me what is happening at your end?

dedeposter

I just found the final image, which was a film I thought of earlier but didn't pursue. I'll wait until the end of today to see if anyone comes up with it.

dedeposter

Also, got this email notification this morning but can't see your post on here.

HONDO

Peter I cannot access the forum link you sent above  to see what you received your end. Very odd indeed..

dedeposter

That was a screenshot, this is the email text I received. The link doesn't go to an existing post, just this page. Maybe something to do with your images not appearing? Probably a random email / server issue.

A final clue for C530 is a much louder school environment involved in the film than you most likely were considering.

And while I'm at it - C530 - School of Rock (2003) - obvious with the clue!

Thank you for responding. Very odd indeed,

Correct.

HONDO

Good work in answering this time around, Four our of the six entries answered were without any clues required to be given. A very well done to Peter and Bruce. 

Another six new blackboard related images will follow soon.

dedeposter

Crikey! I'll have to do a deep dive into all those other school themed films I thought of.

This will be the last batch dealing with this subject. They will be a combination of true classics, cult classics and also a couple of very well regarded, if not as well known films to be identified.

I will be interested in seeing how this new batch will fare in the finding of answers, when compared with the first very successful batch results.

dedeposter

It's a good theme, keeps me guessing!

HONDO

 C536  C537

 C538  C539

 C540  C541 

 C542  C543

Thinking caps on for the final eight Blackboard scenes images. 

The answers should range from being easy enough to identify, to most likely difficult to work out. so good luck.

The earlier first selection of blackboard images did very well in receiving answers. Four out of the six images were answered without having any clues provided.

The recent War movies quiz was most disappointing with the last four posted themed firing squad images failing to attract any answers at all.

Let us hope the current images here will fare much better. I at least know that Peter and Bruce are most likely keen to be involved with this particular quiz.

The results obtained from this batch of images will determine how I will approach and go about selecting and presenting future entries for this thread.

Been waiting for this!

C 537 - Goodbye Mr Chips (1939)

theartofmovieposters

C539 The Nutty Professor

jayn_j

C541 is Conrack.  I saw this in college in the mid 70s, but the phrase say hey Willie Mays stayed with me.

Bruce

I hope C536 is All Quiet on the Western Front

HONDO

A really great start with half the required answers being received just under four hours of me posing the images.

dedeposter said:

C 537 - Goodbye Mr Chips (1939)

Correct. You appeared to have been hoping for this film to appear here then Peter.

  

theartofmovieposters said:

C539 The Nutty Professor

Correct also. The Nutty Professor from 1963. One of the better 1960's Jerry Lewis films.

Again Correct. A very well made film from 1974 that unfortunately isn't that well known today.

 

Bruce said:

It certainly is Bruce. All Quiet On The Western Front from 1930. It still has a powerful message when viewed today. It is regularly screened on the Australian pay TV network Foxtel, thus allowing younger people of today to view it.





This now leaves the other four unanswered images to be identified. These most likely will prove to be more difficult to answer.

 I will leave it for a few more days before I include some clues here. Good luck in the meantime.

   

HONDO

Some clues that hopefully will assist.

C538 - Series.
C540 - Controversial subject in its day.
C542 - Helpful film title
C543 - University.

HONDO

Seeing my earlier clues aren't assisting, here then are some additional clues.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          C538 -The title of the film tells all.
C540 - A More suitable title change considering the subject matter for screenings outside of the U.S.A.
C542 - Catchy title song sung by the female lead a super clue.
C543 - Famous Comedy duo with a clue in the title.

Rick

542 To Sir With Love.

Rick said:

542 To Sir With Love.

A good educated guess  based on my recent clues, but unfortunately it isn't that one.

Not your day Rick. but there is always another day.

HONDO

The cues aren't working for the remaining four images so i'll give the quiz another day before I will reveal the answers

If anyone knows any of the answers and is currently  holding back at present for whatever reasons, I would love to hear from you.
