    C56 Crack Up

    C57 Night and the City
    Both correct, and excellent work Ves in coming up with the answers using whatever method you used to accomplish this. Four out of four correct answers is impressive.

    ( 1946 )

     ( 1950 )
  • Tah, I used your clues and google then did a bit of cross checking on the titles that came back.

  •  C58
     C59
     C60

    Getting away from the crime and film noir genres, here three more images from well known regarded films.



  • C59 Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
  • Sven said:
    C59 Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
    It is indeed Invasion Of The Body Snatchers from the 1956. Carolyn Jones can be seen in the image.

    One of the best Science fiction films from the 1950's. The 1978 remake is also a great film as well.  


  • C58 Cabaret.  Seriously disturbing Tomottow Brl9ngs to Me number

  • jayn_j said:
    C58 Cabaret.  Seriously disturbing Tomottow Brl9ngs to Me number


    Correct. Cabaret from 1972, and yes the Tomorrow Belongs To Me musical number sequence is certainly disturbing.




  • An afterthought regarding Cabaret, Interestingly the above British quad poster has a X certificate printed on it. Normally this classification was given to horror, sexploitation and extremely violent films, and not for a  musical drama film that has won eight academy Awards.

    In Australia the film was given an M ( the content is moderate in impact ) ccertifiicate. In the U.S.A, it only received a PG rating.


  •  C60

    A turn adaptation that in this particular case wasn't of a comedy.

  • As I hopefully wait for an answer for the yet unanswered image #60. here are two more film images to test your knowledge.  I am thinking that they shouldn't present a problem in being able  to be identified.

       C61  C62

  • Is C61 Brief Encounter?

    It is Brief Encounter from 1945. I had a feeling Bruce that you would know this one.

     

  • I guess that leaves The Misfits for me.

    I watched it for the umpteenth time again recently. Just a perfect "little" movie!

  • jayn_j said:

    C62 is The Misfits from 1961. This was was Clark Gable's last film, He died twelve days after filming was completed 


  • HONDO said:
     C60

    A turn adaptation that in this particular case wasn't of a comedy.
    This now currently leaves only C60, which has presented a problem here in being able to be identified.

    The leading actress was said to have regarded this as her finest performance. ( IMDb )

    Another image may help.


  • Is it The Innocents?

  • Bruce said:

    C60  is indeed The Innocents from 1961.   
        .
    My earlier clue of '' A turn adaptation that in this particular case wasn't of a comedy',' referred to the film being adapted from the Henry James novel ''The Taming Of the Screw''.

     A masterpiece standout from all the films of this genre that have been made, 



  •   C63

     C64

    One image should be recognisable, but perhaps not so much with the other one,
  • C64 From Russia With Love ?
  • Sven said:
    C64 From Russia With Love ?

    Yes it is From Russia With Love from 1963,




  •   C65  C66  

    Two more memorable scenes.
  • edited October 2022
    C56 is 5 Easy Pieces, the classic plain toast sequence.
    You can find the sequence here
    https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Five_Easy_Pieces in the dialog subtab
  • I used image search for c63.  It seems too obscure a film for this thread..
  • jayn_j said:

    I have to toss up whether to use scenes from certain films. As the title of this thread is 'A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz'.'I decide yes or no inclusion depending on the merits of the film, and not that it may be a little obscure. This particular film was made for a major film company on location by a prestigious producer / director  and starring a top notch cast. It certainly in my eyes qualifies to be included here.

    The film is British, therefore most likely less known outside the the U.K and the British Commonwealth. The image I posted is from the opening credits and once seen not likely to be forgotten.

    Yes the answer, actually for number C66, is Five Easy Pieces that was originally released in 1970,

     C67, C68

    One that should be recognized without any problems, and one that I am think Bruce could know.
  • C67.  Dead Calm
  • edited October 2022
    C67.  Dead Calm
     

    Correct. Dead Calm from 1989.


  • The following three images appear to be proving too difficult in finding answers for, Some clues then that hopefully will assist


     C63 

    A British made adventure film set in southeast Asia.
                                                                                                                                                                  C65

    A popular child star of the 1940's appears in this film..


     C68

    A much loved British film. Unusual opening credits presentation, with a beautiful song played over the end credits.
