Game #170 – It’s All in the Title

Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 84 pairs, each consisting of one actor and one movie, and 3 triples, each consisting of two actors and one movie, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Nine actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.

Twenty-five movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

I am sure alternate answers will pop up. We’ll consider it done when every clue has been legitimately used.

LIST A: ACTORS

A-2. The first of her seven Oscar nominations put her in direct competition with her own sister.

A-3. “You got that from Vickers' Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you palm it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f**kin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!”

A-14. She and her then-husband shared one of the most romantic movie scenes of the 1940s – although in real life, their marriage was on the rocks due to her affair with the film’s producer.

A-15. “They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder. And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”

A-34. He is the only actor to receive an Oscar nomination for playing a character created by Herman Melville.

A-35. “The way I see it, there's only two possible outcomes. Either I make it down there in one piece and I have one hell of a story to tell. Or I burn up in the next ten minutes. Either way whichever way, no harm no foul. ’Cause either way, it'll be one hell of a ride.”

A-37. “It's there all the time, driving me out to wander the streets, following me, silently, but I can feel it there. It's me, pursuing myself! I want to escape, to escape from myself!

Robin Williams

A-17. “Helmet! So, at last we meet for the first time for the last time.”
Bill Pullman

A-23. “I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.”
Claude Rains

Michael Caine

A-47. “For the past 50 years or so I've been getting more and more worried about Christmas. Seems we're all so busy trying to beat the other fellow in making things go faster and look shinier and cost less that Christmas and I are sort of getting lost in the shuffle.”

Kevin Costner

If he were white and his enslavers were British, he wouldn't be standing, so heavy the weight of the medals and honors we would bestow upon him. Songs would be written about him. The great authors of our times would fill books about him. His story would be told and retold, in our classrooms. Our children, because we would make sure of it, would know his name as well as they know Patrick Henry's.”

A-3. “You got that from Vickers' Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you palm it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f**kin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!”

Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 84 pairs, each consisting of one actor and one movie, and 3 triples, each consisting of two actors and one movie, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Nine actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.

Twenty-five movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

I am sure alternate answers will pop up. We’ll consider it done when every clue has been legitimately used.

LIST A: ACTORS


A-2. The first of her seven Oscar nominations put her in direct competition with her own sister.

Joan Fontaine or Olivia de Havilland?


A-7. “You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna! But you keep it all inside.”

And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”

Harvey Keitel??? WAG -- thinking Thelma and Louise


A-17. “Helmet! So, at last we meet for the first time for the last time.”

It's from Spaceballs. Is it Mel Brooks himself?

A-23. “I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.”

CLAUDE RAINS (Casablanca)

A-24. When he received the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, he broke Alec Baldwin’s seven-year winning streak.

Baldwin kept winning for 30 Rock. Don't know who his successor was. Big Bang Theory guy, mebbe?

A-34. He is the only actor to receive an Oscar nomination for playing a character created by Herman Melville.

Gregory Peck? Seems too obvious.

A-35. “The way I see it, there's only two possible outcomes. Either I make it down there in one piece and I have one hell of a story to tell. Or I burn up in the next ten minutes. Either way whichever way, no harm no foul. ’Cause either way, it'll be one hell of a ride.”

Bruce Willis? Thinking Armageddon

A-36. A tragic event in the life of this actress inspired a 1962 novel by Agatha Christie.

GENE TIERNEY

Not one damn tree. Scared me half to death. That's why I came running back here to you. So I could see your pretty face and I could feel safe and that I was still me.”

HENRY FONDA


A-72. This actor – best known for his role as a TV detective – was inducted into the Mustache Hall of Fame in 2015. (Other actors afforded this honor include Richard Pryor, Burt Reynolds, Sam Elliott, and Billy Dee Williams.)

Dennis Weaver?


LIST B: MOVIES

Dammit I know this.



B-24. The island referenced in the title of this 1960 film is located in the Bay of Fundy.

SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO

“But that's tomorrow. And will you be ready?”
“Well, that all depends.”
“What on?”

“It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.”

AIRPLANE

B-44. This 1935 film featured Hollywood’s first dance sequence between interracial partners. (The sequence was not shown in the South. Of course.)

The Little Colonel?
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. -- Richard Feynman

I don't think the numbers add up. 84 pairs and 3 triples result in 90 actors, but 9 actors being used twice and two actors being used three times results in 93 actors. Also, it looks like we need 87 movies according to the first sentence and 91 movies according to the second sentence. --Bob

Sorry. I made a last minute change and forgot to recalculate the numbers. That should have been 87 pairs and 3 triples.
24 movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

We have enough answers for the first consolidation.

Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 87 pairs, each consisting of one actor and one movie, and 3 triples, each consisting of two actors and one movie, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Nine actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.

Twenty-four movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

I am sure alternate answers will pop up. We’ll consider it done when every clue has been legitimately used.

See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f**kin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!”
MATT DAMON

A-15. “They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder.

I wonder whether B-30 is The Russians Are Coming. I'm not particularly familiar with that movie, but what little I know makes me question whether it qualifies as film noir. --Bob

My second guess on this one was correct. It's I MARRIED A COMMUNIST (my first guess was I Was a Communist for the FBI), directed by Robert Stevenson, who later directed Mary Poppins.

On the actors list:

Two of the definites are wrong. (In one case, I think it was a typo, since the same actor appears twice.

Of the answers with a question mark, six are right and five are wrong. (One is a definite case of 'right church, wrong pew.')

Of the answers with two alternates, two include the correct answer and one does not.

On the movies list:

All the definites are correct.

Of the answers with a question mark, four are right and one is wrong

All of the answers with two alternates include the correct answer.

All answers given since this consolidation are correct.

Nine actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.

Twenty-four movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f**kin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!”

B-39. “I remember wrenching the steering wheel to the right and slapping my foot against the brake petal. I wasn't the driver anymore. The bus was like this huge wave about to break over us. Bear Otto, the Lambston kids, the Hamiltons, the Prescotts, the teenaged boys and girls from Bartlett Hill Road, Pete, Suzy, Laura, Rick, Sean Walker, Nicole Burnell, Billy Ansel's twins, Jessica and Mason ... all the children of my town.”

B-40. This title of this 1974 crime drama takes its name from a gang that calls itself “ninkyō dantai” (chivalrous organization.)
THE YAKUZA

B-41. “This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.”
“A hospital? What is it?”
“It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.”
AIRPLANE

B-42. Gene Kelly was not amused by the most disturbing scene in this 1971 movie. Not in the slightest.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

B-43. “My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We've all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.”

B-44. This 1935 film featured Hollywood’s first dance sequence between interracial partners. (The sequence was not shown in the South. Of course.)
THE LITTLE COLONEL? THE LITTLEST REBEL?

B-45. “I'm saying that Stonewall Jackson was trash himself. Him and Lee and all the rest of them rebs. You, too.”
“You're a low-down Yankee liar.”
“Prove it.”

This is neither of them. A roommate BitD loved Olivia and I know that she had 5 nominations while her sister Joan had 3. I don't know of any other pair of sisters who came even close.

These must have been for non-acting categories.

A-9. “You gotta have two things to win. You gotta have brains and you gotta have balls. Now, you got too much of one and not enough of the other.”
Paul Newman

A-11. “I despise rapists. For me, you're somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty.”
John Malkovich

A-13. “I'm going to smoke everyone involved in this op and then I'm going to kill bin Laden. ”
Jessica Chastain

A-29. “She's not a woman, she's the Terminator!”
Billy Crystal

A-30. He was the first actor to win five Emmy awards for a single role.
CARROLL O'CONNOR? DON KNOTTS? - Definitely Don Knotts.

A-46. She completes this list: Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Barbara Stanwyck, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton. (AFI Lifetime Achievement Award)

A-58. She was the most recent Bond’s first Bond girl.
Eva Green


B-9. “I ... I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead ... every single one of them. And not just the men. But the women and the children, too. They're like animals and I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!”
This was either the 1st or 2nd Star Wars prequel - Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) said it.

B-13. “I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.”
“Soft mattress?”
“Yeah, it could have been the soft mattress. Or the midnight rape. Or the nude gay art show that took place in my room. One of those probably added to the lack of sleep.”
Wedding Crashers

B-19. “Isn't it funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But a ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it? Doesn’t it?”
Seems too obvious, but I'd swear this was "Phone Booth."

That should have been six Oscar nominations, not seven. Sorry.

Everything else about the clue stands. And yes, there is one other pair of sisters with a combined eight nominations.

How about VANESSA REDGRAVE? Opposite Lynn for Georgy Girl when she was nominated for Morgan or Isadora? Not sure of the time frame.

Just a thought and I'm not sure if there's anything to it. Ricki Lake is best known for Hairspray (the original) but she also appeared in the musical version. Michael Caine appeared in both versions of Sleuth. Sidney Poitier's first film was No Way Out, and Kevin Costner appeared in an unrelated film called No Way Out. Clifton Webb appeared in Titanic and I understand there was another movie with that name a few years later (I'm pretty sure Webb wasn't in it).

This is probably just random noise but I'm trying to see if anything sticks.
