    Then how about Linda Harrison in Planet of the Apes?
    Sounds spot on to me.

     ( 1968 )

    Bruce's earlier incorrect quess When Women Had Tails from 1970 was a great one. I just love this country of origin Italian  poster for this obscure film, so I thought I would share it here.


  • 179 seems so obvious to me with the signs in the bg.

    You think others shouldn't miss out on the opportunity in being able to solve this one then?

    No fun when I'm the only one answering.  I try to answer the less obvious ones and limit myself to a single answer.
  • That took a massive amount of thinking on my part, but I think I have them!

    178 Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock

    and 

    179 Miss Firecracker with Holly Hunter

    Not worth going into the thought process involved, but I never saw either movie, which makes it so much harder.

    And of course I could be wrong! 




    Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!

    HAS auctions where the winner is the higher of two real bidders - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "buyers premiums" - NOT eMoviePoster.com

    HAS no customer service to speak of - NOT eMoviePoster.com

    Good to have you as a backup man then, and for you to participate in whatever capacity you are comfortanle with.

    Both answers are correct with Miss Congeniality being from 2000 and Miss Firecracker from 1989. You are the deserving winner of the award of the week for perserverence


  • I got them from the clues, not the images. Good clues!

  •  180

     181

     182

    Three more images for you to tackle. Two well known films and one lesser known film featuring a very big star from the Golden years of Hollywood.

  • 181 NAtalie Portman in Black Swan
  • 180 Sue Lyon in Lolita, had to double check....

  • 181 NAtalie Portman in Black Swan
    Correct. Black Swan from 2010.



    180 Sue Lyon in Lolita, had to double check....
    Correct also. Lolita from 1962.


  • #182:  Barbara Stanwyck in Lady of Burlesque (1943)

  • jayn_j said:
    #182:  Barbara Stanwyck in Lady of Burlesque (1943)
    Correct and well spotted.

    Some clues for the actress featured in the unanswered # 182 that I had images ready to go for that I didn't have to use. 

     

     I may as well still show them now. The images are of film director Frank Capra who gave Stanwych her first major break in Hollywood with the lead role in Ladies Of Retirement in 1930,  and the Ziegfeld girls, ( she's not in this image though ), where she started earlier on a chorus girl at the age of 16.




  • Wow.  Love that last poster with the black surround.


  •   

    183                                                                                  184



    185



    186



    187

     How about this interesting selection then?  A clue is that they come from many lands.                                                                 


  • 183 I believe is Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria.  Great flick.

    Correct. It is indeed Julie Andrews in Victor / Victoria from 1982. I agree, it is a great film.
  • 187. Cyd Charisse
  • 184 Nicole Kidman in BMX Bandits (1983)  Released in US as Short Wave.  Nicole Kidman's first film role.  Never seen it, but not sure I ever want to.
  •   theartofmovieposters said:
    187. Cyd Charisse
    Correct. Certainly is Cyd as she appeared in a publicity pic for Meet Me In Las Veas ( 1956 ).

    Yes # 184 is BMX Bandits. The film though wasn't Nicole's film debut There is some confusion as to which film was her film debut and it is often credited incorrectly as being BMX Bandits. Her theatrical film debut was in Bush Christmas ( 1983 ).

    Wikipedia and IMDB both credit Bush Christmas as being Nicile's film debut. She received an introductory credit on screen in Bush Christmas. According to IMDB trivia Bush Christmas was released in Australia 22-12-1983 and BMX Bandits followed a week later on 29-12-1983. 



    On Foxtel recently I was curious enough to take a look at it, and I lasted only five minutes in watching it.

    185 clue is that there is a Samuel Goldwyn connection.  
                                                                                           

    186 clues are that this is a publicity shot only and colour film loved her.



  • Final clue for 185 is there was a previous Danny Kaye connection.

    Final clue for 186 is universal. 
  • 185 Virginia Mayo in South Sea Woman (1953)
