Game #177: Now Playing at the Multiplex

[silverscreenselect]

A number of these movies begin with the title of one movie (especially if you leave out an opening "the") and end with another.

Psycho/Beach Party
(The) Wolf/Wall Street
The Town/Sundown
Valiant/Carrie
Suddenly/Last Summer
M/Butterfly
Jack/The Bear
(The) Wind/The Lion
Julie/Julia
Joe/The Volcano
Mona Lisa/Smile
Magic/Moonlight
Collateral/Damage

If you can add words then there are even more matches:

The Postman / (You Only Live) Twice

In that regard, The Wolf could become The Wolf Man

That's too many to be a coincidence, but I'm not sure how the second film links.

[plasticene]

I'll fix the problems so we have a correct consolidation near the top of this page.

Identify the 90 movies in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 44 triples and one group of four according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Eighteen movies will be used twice, seven movies will be used three times, two movies will be used four times, and two movies will be used five times. No movie can be matched with itself.

I’ve tried my damnedest to avoid alternate matches, but we all know how that usually turns out.

1. The first movie ever shown at the White House, it has not been screened there recently, for obvious reasons (although some people think the current occupant wouldn’t have an issue with it.)

Here's my final words on the subject: you can never have too much butter.”

28. “This last month has been the most delicious time of my life. Of course we have had our ups and downs. The pressure is intense when two women share their lives. But, oh, but what marvelous intensity it is! Circumstances are not always ideal. The swinish press, the stringent bail terms, meetings with lawyers and so on. But all things considered, we're coping admirably. In fact, gold stars abundant. The cuckold permits her to see their children once a week. There are usually tears and fits of teenage tantrums, too. In time she'll recognize she's just not the mothering kind, and then Barbara will be there to comfort her. Nurse, beloved friend and wise counsel.”

Instead of forever hovering above I'd like to feel a weight grow in me to end the infinity and to tie me to earth. I'd like, at each step, each gust of wind, to be able to say ‘Now.’ ‘Now’ and ‘now’ and no longer ‘forever’ and ‘for eternity.’”

Secretly create some money troubles: credit cards, perhaps online gambling. With the help of the unwitting, bump up your life insurance. Purchase getaway car. Craigslist. Generic. Cheap. Pay cash. You need to package yourself so that people will truly mourn your loss.”

Don't you know that?”

WILD IN THE COUNTRY

48. “Oh, Sebastian, what a lovely summer it's been. Just the two of us. Sebastian and Violet. Violet and Sebastian. Just the way it's always going to be. Oh, we are lucky, my darling, to have one another and need no one else ever.”
SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER

49. Most of the action in this movie – the eighth installment in a slasher franchise – takes place, not in the location cited in the title, but on a boat heading there.

PUNCH DRUNK LOVE?

55. The star of this 2003 movie received $25,000,000 – the highest salary paid to any actress up to that time – but it did not translate into either critical or box office success: one reviewer called it “Dead Poet’s Society as a chick flick, without the compelling drama and inspiration.”
MONA LISA SMILE

56. “So you listen to me and you listen well. Are you behind on your credit card bills? Good, pick up the phone and start dialing! Is your landlord ready to evict you? Good! Pick up the phone and start dialing! Does your girlfriend think you're f**king worthless loser? Good! Pick up the phone and start dialing! I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich!”
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

57. Done in a pseudo-documentary style, this 1975 thriller was loosely based on a series of murders that took place in the Texarkana area in 1946.
THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN

58. “There was one thing my murderer didn't understand; he didn't understand how much a father could love his child.”

SHINE ON HARVEST MOON

64. “We took morphine, diamorphine, cyclizine, codeine, temazepam, nitrazepam, phenobarbitone, sodium amytal, dextropropoxyphene, methadone, nalbuphine, pethidine, pentazocine, buprenorphine, dextromoramide, chlormethiazole. The streets are awash with drugs you can have for unhappiness and pain, and we took them all. F**k it, we would have injected vitamin C if only they'd made it illegal.”

FINDING NEVERLAND?

68. “Everyone she plays with dies.”

ANATOMY OF A MURDER (THE MOON IS BLUE?)

70. “I go outta here every morning, I bust my butt 'cause I like you? You're about the biggest fool I ever saw. A man is supposed to take care of his family. You live in my house, feed your belly with my food, put your behind on my bed because you're my son. It's my duty to take care of you. I owe a responsibility to you, I ain't got to like you!”
FENCES

71. Woody Allen’s other homage to Paris in the 1920s, it failed to duplicate the success of its predecessor and is regarded by some as one of his worst films.
MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT

72. “My father says that you have been my friend. You came back for me.”

“Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many.”

SCREAM? (2? 3? 4? ETC.?)

76. “Why is it that there is a gun shop on almost every corner in this community?”
“Why?”
“I'll tell you why. For the same reason that there is a liquor store on almost every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves.”
BOYZ IN THE HOOD

77. A famous comedian claimed that the hardest acting he ever had to do was trying to look totally inept at boxing in this movie.

81. The subject of this 2004 biopic was the Restoration poet who penned such classics as “Signor Dildo” and that ode to premature ejaculation “The Imperfect Enjoyment.” (Did I mention that it was the Restoration?)
THE LIBERTINE

82. “He vas my … boyfriend!”
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

83. This was the first of two musicals scored by the same composer and lyricist to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT

I'll fix the problems so we have a correct consolidation near the top of this page.

Identify the 90 movies in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 44 triples and one group of four according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

2. “And Nietzsche, with his theory of eternal recurrence. He said that the life we lived we're gonna live over again the exact same way for eternity. Great. That means I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again.”
HANNAH AND HER SISTERS? ANNIE HALL? A FISH CALLED WANDA?


55. The star of this 2003 movie received $25,000,000 – the highest salary paid to any actress up to that time – but it did not translate into either critical or box office success: one reviewer called it “Dead Poet’s Society as a chick flick, without the compelling drama and inspiration.”
MONA LISA SMILE

78. “Well, 'till they invent a trigger a woman can't pull, if you're a hangman, you're going to hang women.”
THE HATEFUL EIGHT

I think I've got it.

Michael Caine (Hannah) was in Mona Lisa, while Bruce Dern (Smile) was in Hateful Eight. So that's the triple.

A quartet might be if the original movie is split into three parts instead of two.

sss - your suggestion of other than a straight break-up might work, too.

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex can work as Private Lives (Norma Shearer - The Women) and I am sure we can find some someone who was in ELIZABETH.

And, of course, Mantrap would give us Clara Bow to go with IT. Now we need a movie called One Night.

[mellytu74]

39. PSYCHO BEACH PARTY starring Janet Leigh (66. TOUCH OF EVIL) and Buster Keaton (89. THE GENERAL)

EDITED: I just realized this doesn't work. Buster Keaton wasn't IN Beach Party. Beach Blanket Bingo and some of the others, but not that one.

[silverscreenselect]

A couple more before I go to bed.

The full name of the movie in Question 49 is Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan, which yields Friday (Ice Cube, Boyz in the Hood) and Manhattan (Woody Allen, Hannah).

Magic in the Moonlight yields Magic (Anthony Hopkins, Legends of the Fall) and Moonlight (Mahershala Ali, Hidden Figures).

[silverscreenselect]

A couple of thoughts. Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing would seem to be a perfect match for Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Similarly, It Happened One Night would be a match for It Happened at the World's Fair, an Elvis film that marked the debut of Kurt Russell (Hateful Eight). But I can't find a film that ends in "One Night" and there are a number of movies that end in "Night." (Date Night, Rough Night, Fright Night (two versions), Big Night, Run All Night, Live by Night). So, there must be some refinement of which I'm not aware to narrow this down.

[silverscreenselect]

Peter Boyle (Young Frankenstein) was in Joe and Tommy Lee Jones (Coal Miner's Daughter) was in Volcano for Joe vs. the Volcano.

And a partial, Jones's co-star Sissy Spacek was in Carrie.

[silverscreenselect]

Peter Lorre (M) was in 20000 Leagues under the Sea and Matthew McConaughey (Wolf of Wall Street) was in Sing, so that yields 20000 Years in Sing Sing.

I hope.

On the other hand, Lorre was also in Arsenic and Old Lace, which links back to M (or 20000 Leagues), so I'm not real sure how all this works.

EDIT: And I realized my mistake. M isn't one of the movies on the list, but Arsenic and Old Lace is and links (through Lorre) to both M and 20000 Leagues.

[silverscreenselect]

25. This movie set during World War I was the last musical penned by Johnny Mercer and provided him with his penultimate Oscar nomination.
OH, WHAT A LOVELY WAR? DARLING LILI?

This would have to be Darling Lili, which yields Darling (Julie Christie, Shampoo) and Lili (Leslie Caron, Gigi)

[mellytu74]

16. THE WIND AND THE LION = Lillian Gish (1. BIRTH OF A NATION)

There must be a William Holden or Capucine or Trevor Howard picture here.

And completing one of sss's partials...

45. VALIANT IS THE WORD FOR CARRIE = Ewan McGregor (64. TRAINSPOTTING) and Sissy Spacek (15. COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER)

[mellytu74]

A partial

41. FORT APACHE: THE BRONX = Henry Fonda (79. SPAWN OF THE NORTH)

As sss said, I am thinking there is a refinement here that we don't have yet.

[silverscreenselect]

Wild in the Country = Wild in the Streets (???) + Country (Jessica Lange, Tootsie).

If the end of the movie title is the beginning, rather than the end of a second film, there are a couple more possibilities

It Happened One Night = One Night at McCool's (Michael Douglas or John Goodman)

From Hell It Came = From Hell (Johnny Depp movie) + It Came from Beneath the Sea or It Came from Outer Space

[mellytu74]

Wild in the Country = Wild in the Streets (???) + Country (Jessica Lange, Tootsie).

It Happened One Night = One Night at McCool's (Michael Douglas or John Goodman)

From Hell It Came = From Hell (Johnny Depp movie) + It Came from Beneath the Sea or It Came from Outer Space

Or the first one could be just plain WILD with Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon.

I don't know

You seem to be following two different sets of rules. Most of the matches suggested are spot on, but others are not legit, including the two above.

(However, it is interesting that you put them together here. Take another look.)

One is legitimate. One isn't.

[Pastor Fireball]

88. “First, we'll have an orgy. Then, we'll go see Tony Bennett.”

I didn't catch this one all the way at the bottom of the list. This is BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE.

I'm trying to figure out the rules for titles that are longer than two or three words. I can't believe Frank would include "From Hell It Came in this puzzle for any of the actors, and "From Hell" matches the Johnny Depp film perfectly. And I'm pretty sure that if I start looking at the other titles, I'll find a match for the cast. But I can't find any movie that ends in "Came" or "It Came" but I can find several horror films that begin with "It Came."

I also think you have to add some more words to get the title of the matching film if needed, since two movies beginning with 20,000 is a big coincidence, especially with a cast match.

You don't have to add any words. That would make the matches impossible to control.

Don't get hung up on the 20,000. The title of the movie is not 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Sing Sing.

As for From Hell It Came, something that you've been looking for is right there. You just have to see it.

But I can't find any movie that ends in "Came" or "It Came" but I can find several horror films that begin with "It Came."

I also think you have to add some more words to get the title of the matching film if needed, since two movies beginning with 20,000 is a big coincidence, especially with a cast match.

You don't have to add any words. That would make the matches impossible to control.

Don't get hung up on the 20,000. The title of the movie is not 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Sing Sing.

As for From Hell It Came, something that you've been looking for is right there. You just have to see it.

Isn't there a movie called It? Or does the title need to be at the end of the "container" movie? --Bob

39. PSYCHO BEACH PARTY starring Janet Leigh (66. TOUCH OF EVIL) and Buster Keaton (89. THE GENERAL)

EDITED: I just realized this doesn't work. Buster Keaton wasn't IN Beach Party. Beach Blanket Bingo and some of the others, but not that one.

Your match is Dorothy Malone, who was in Basic Instinct.

The Rose Tattoo = The Rose (Bette Midler, Down and Out in Beverly Hills) + Tattoo (Bruce Dern, Hateful Eight).

Holy crap! I didn't realize Dorothy Malone was in Basic Instinct! What a movie to end a career with!

Since that is a legitimate answer, and I don't want you to waste your time, I'll just tell you that the answer to #19 is Disney's version of Babes in Toyland, which yields Annette Funicello.

I'm trying to figure out the rules for titles that are longer than two or three words.

Yes Clara Bow starred in IT. She was the IT girl and starred in Mantrap. So, we know IT is here, we just aren't sure where
