  • That railing was bugging me, I knew I'd seen it somewhere before.

  • I just worked out C457 too, but will leave it to someone else to answer. My first (incorrect thought) was The Piano (1993), but I knew that wasn't quite right. The correct answer just came to me!

    Good to know that if nobody eventually gets to answer, I can call on you then to provide the answer.

    It isn't that one. The film in question is very much solemn in content.

    Me neither. Would be too depressing for me to view.

    That was my initial guess, but couldn't find any close image.

    Me too. But the clue "Would be too depressing for me to view" sure seems to fit.

    Sorry but not Schindler's List. I have actually seen the brilliamt Schlindler's List.

    Sophie's Choice?
  • Eureka!


    Peter
  • edited April 2024
    Great - we finally got there thanks to Ves,. I will also acknowledge Peter as knowing, but holding back with the answer. Sophie's Choice from 1982,

    Meryl Streep won the Best Actress academy award for her performance in this film playing a Holocaust survivor. The film has been mentioned as having an emotional shattering story. If anyone has seen the film would you like to comment?

     C459  C460
    Will perhaps these two new images present a problem in identify them?
  • I know C460 is Shirley Knight, maybe from "As Good As it Gets"?

    It is indeed Shirley Knight, and yes As Good As It Gets (1997) is the film that the scene is from.

    Shirley was nominated trice for an Oscar in the best actress in a supporting role category for her performances in The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs (1960), then two years later in Sweet Bird of Youth (1962). 

    Below I have included a lovely publicity shot of Shirley Knight from the very early 1960s. 

      
  • For me, Shirley Knight's very best role was on TV's original "Law and Order" as a Betty Broderick-like character (a real life woman who was dumped by her husband for a much younger women, and she murdered the husband and new wife, and claimed she did not remember doing it). 

    It was a magnificent performance, but then again she was great in everything I saw her in.

     C459 
    I had thought that this film image would possibly prove  be a little difficult in identifying.  A clue to hopefully assist is science fiction.
  • A fair amount of digging found the image in some Russian's Quora profile, but that was a dead end as well.
    https://www.quora.com/profile/Nikita-Batishev
  • Another C459 clue is water.
  • C459 - Waterworld? (1995)


    Peter
  • C459 - Waterworld? (1995)
    Good guess working from my last provided clue, but unfortunately it isn't that film.
  • STARMAN (1984)???
    Just a wag, based on the early scenes in upstate Wisconsin.

    Sorry but not that film either.

    A final clue for C459 is a famous singer as well as being an actor stars in the film.
  • Videodrome?

    Totally understand where you are coming from with your Videodrome answer for C459. Thinking Debbie Harry was the famous singer from my clue makes sense. I am sorry though to inform you that your answer is incorrect.

     Absolutely my final clue is that the singer is male. Good luck.
