A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.

Comments

  • Firstly thank you Bruce for you for your kind words.     Sometime clues are needed to be able to receive answers in the cases where the films were never viewed. I give a lot of thought to what images to use, and it is a fine line balancing act to hopefully get it right.. 

     Interestingly I too have never seen Drums Along The Mohawk, so this oversight needs to be set right sooner than later. I love that period in American history and viewing films like The Last Of The Mohicans that are set during this time.

    This quiz has proved more popular in a short amount of than my earlier individual genre quiz threads previously presented here on the forum. I had a feeling this may have been the case, so I am extremely happy that this has turned out to be so.  

    The quiz will continue on a regular basis as long as there is strong participation in it.

    C91 - Sleepless in Seattle?
    Correct and well worked out. Sleepless In Seattle from 1993.The film had a great chart topping album that reached number one on Billboard. Certainly a  feel good movie.

     
  •  C93  C94

    Two more images from very well remembered films

    C94 I know but will leave for someone else

    C93 is indeed Rear Window from 1954. One of my favourite Alfred Hitchcock movies.


  • Is C94 the thing they climb up in in Vertigo? It seems odd you would do two 1950s Hitchcock's at once, so I imagine I am wrong!

    No you are correct, as it is Vertigo from 1958.

    Sometimes I just like to make the images easy to identify, yet sometimes though I like to have people wondering about the presentation, such as two from the same director. actor, etc. I may even present, once in a blue moon  two images together taken from the same film, so keep this in mind.

    C95  C96

    Two more images. Perhaps you need to look outside the box for one of them. 
  • c96 The Birds
    Correct. Another promptly followed up Alfred Hitchcock film image included here, and well spotted. The Birds from 1963, with Australia's Rod Taylor appearing in the featured image. 

     


  • C95 Love Me or Leave Me (Doris Day)
  • jayn_j said:
    C95 Love Me or Leave Me (Doris Day)
    Correct sir, and I thought you would know this one due to it's musical content.

     Love Me Or Leave Me was a 1955 release. Doris Day who portrayed real life singer and actress Ruth Etting is seen below working as a taxi dancer in this scene from the film.

    It is indeed Wait Until Dark from 1967. The film was based on the 1966 stage play written by Frederick Knott, who also wrote the Dial M For Murder stage play.

    I have fond memories of the stage play as my wife had played the Audrey Hepburn part on stage in an amateur theatre production. I must say that I did have some concerns for her safety due to the realistically staged fight scene that tales place in the dark at the end of the play. My wife had in real life a blind brother to draw upon in how a blind person went about there everyday life.  I had the pleasure  to play the small part of her husband, that was played by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. in the film version.


      
  • C97 Double Indemnity

    C97 Double Indemnity 

     It is indeed Double Indemnity from 1944. Yet another classic Billy Wllder masterpiece ( in my mind anyway ).  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
      HA




  • Correction. The previously displayed image credited as being from Heritage Auctions is unconfirmed, so the poster source is now unknown.


  •  C99
     C100
     C101

    Have you seen any of these?


  • C100 The Ladykillers
  • C99 The League of Gentlemen.
  • C100 The Ladykillers
    C99 The League of Gentlemen.
    Both correct. The Ladykillers from 1955, and The League of Gentlemen from 1960. Two great films.



  • 101 Malta Story (1953), but I used image search
  • jayn_j said:

        Correct. Using your Initiative is fine. This film had to be the least known one of the three posted images.
