Secrets = Mary Pickford's last movie.
I knew there's be an unintended match in here somewhere! I'm surprised it took this long.

However, it doesn't mess up anything, so we can keep it.

47. A collapsible kayak is just one of the props that bedevils the pipe-smoking hero of this comedy, who went on to bumble his way through four more films.

MR HULOT'S HOLIDAY

and gives us

George Cukor - 134. THE PHILADELPHIA STORY and 47. (MR HULOT'S) HOLIDAY

As far as I can tell, we have two unsolved clues. We know the Swedish movie is Sjostrom, so I am not counting that for the moment.

7. This movie about drug addiction was based on a Broadway hit by a playwright who, seventeen years later, would earn an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

89. With the release of this film, its creator became the first American animator since Disney to have two financial successes in a row.
7. is A HATFUL OF RAIN

Wouldn't be surprised if 89. is one of those Don Bluth films, like An American Tail or The Secret of NIMH.

If it is Don Bluth, then the answer would be THE LAND BEFORE TIME, which came out right after An American Tail.

We still need a second King Vidor movie to go with The Crowd (and Frank confirmed that Vidor is here when he said the second film hadn't been identified).

Clarence Brown - 128. NATIONAL VELVET and ???

Lindsay Anderson - 15. THIS SPORTING LIFE and 78. (CATCH ME) IF

Lewis Milestone - 103. THE FRONT PAGE and 7. (A HATFUL OF) RAIN

The movie involved predated An American Tail by over a decade. (Hint: it most decidedly did NOT appeal to the same audience.)

I made a very bad mistake here. Not all of the matches are correct because #125 is not The Manchurian Candidate.
Frankenheimer is represented by another movie that has already been used.

125. Angela Lansbury considers her role in this movie, in which she played the mother of an actor only nine years younger than herself, one of the worst of her career.

BLUE HAWAII

George Roy Hill - 125. (Blue) HAWAII and 2. BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID

John Frankenheimer = 96. (THROW MAMMA FROM) THE TRAIN and 43. THE GYPSY MOTHS

Oh, of course! Jacques Tati also did one called Traffic.. and he, of course, did the Mr. Hulot movies.

Ingmar Bergman has been staring at us the whole time.

Ingmar Bergman = 85. HOUR OF THE WOLF and 18. THE SILENCE (OF THE LAMBS)

And to complete another partial suggested earlier by Melly:

Clarence Brown = 128. NATIONAL VELVET and 56. (MURPHY'S) ROMANCE

I don't know how many total matches we have left, but there are now only four unused titles:

27. THE BAKER'S WIFE
48. THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
98. KING KONG
113. THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME

The Most Dangerous Game was directed by Merien C. Cooper, who also directed King Kong (hence the answer to Frank's question). That pretty much means that both those films are on there for their titles, not the directors. Dangerous was the Bette Davis Oscar winning film from 1935, directed by Alfred E. Green. He's got a long filmography, but I didn't see any of his movies here.

The Hunt for Red October was directed by John McTiernan. I don't see any of his titles here. There was an acclaimed Danish film called The Hunt, directed by Thomas Vinterberg, who did the Far From the Madding Crowd remake, but I don't see any of his other films here. There have been two significant movies named Red, the recent action film directed by Thomas Schwentke, and the Kieslowski film. I don't see any of their titles here. Maybe this will stir something.

And to complete another partial suggested earlier by Melly:

Clarence Brown = 128. NATIONAL VELVET and 56. (MURPHY'S) ROMANCE

I don't know how many total matches we have left, but there are now only four unused titles:

27. THE BAKER'S WIFE
48. THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
98. KING KONG
113. THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME

The Most Dangerous Game was directed by Merien C. Cooper, who also directed King Kong (hence the answer to Frank's question). That pretty much means that both those films are on there for their titles, not the directors. Dangerous was the Bette Davis Oscar winning film from 1935, directed by Alfred E. Green. He's got a long filmography, but I didn't see any of his movies here.

The Hunt for Red October was directed by John McTiernan. I don't see any of his titles here. There was an acclaimed Danish film called The Hunt, directed by Thomas Vinterberg, who did the Far From the Madding Crowd remake, but I don't see any of his other films here. There have been two significant movies named Red, the recent action film directed by Thomas Schwentke, and the Kieslowski film. I don't see any of their titles here. Maybe this will stir something.
PLUS, we still need the second King Vidor movie to go with The Crowd. Frank confirmed there was a second Vidor movie.

I don't see one here.

Boy, I fell down on the job here, possibly because I was out of town and rushing! The Most Dangerous Game is wrong. (I would hardly call it a "lush... romance.")

The Hunt for Red October match, however, is right there for the finding. The film in question is, however, known by two different titles.

And one reason you may be missing a match is because a film was marked with an asterisk on the most recent consolidations that has not actually been used.

Ok, This is Bird of Paradise, which is the King Vidor film. And it also yields Bird, directed by Clint Eastwood, to go with The Outlaw Josey Wales.

That one is on me ... I thought Most Dangerous Game was a different movie. As a fan of the young and pretty Joel McCrea, I am ashamed. :( :oops:

Now that The Most Dangerous Game is out of play, we can use Cooper.

Merien Cooper = 98. KING KONG and 66. (SPLENDOR IN THE) GRASS
