SSS Movie Puzzle

[franktangredi]

33. PETER FALK + R) WHO’S LIFE IS IT, ANYWAY? = MIKEY AND NICKY
70. ADAM SANDLER (Little Nicky)

[franktangredi]

Finishing off a few more of the partials from Mr. K’s list

91. ANN REINKING + FF) CROSSING DELANCY (Amy Irving) = Micki and Maude
63. RUTH GORDON (Harold and Maude)

24. AMY ADAMS + UU) A CRY IN THE DARK (Meryl Streep) = Julie and Julia
56. VANESSA REDGRAVE (Julia)

77. SIDNEY POITIER + M) THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS (Dorothy Dandridge) = Porgy and Bess
15. JEAN SIMMONS (Young Bess)

76. HUGH JACKMAN + L) AGAINST THE ROPES (Meg Ryan) = Kate and Leopold
35. KATHRYN GRAYSON (Kiss Me, Kate)

[franktangredi]

Yves Montand starred in Cesar and Rosalie, and Eleanor Powell played the title characters in Rosalie, so one of the movies has to feature Romy Schneider.

[franktangredi]

Was Alex Winter ever in any other movie, because Keanu Reeves and David Carradine would seem to make a match with Bill and Ted.

[franktangredi]

3. UMA THURMAN + XX)TREMORS (Fred Ward) = Henry and June
85. PETER SELLERS (The World of Henry Orient)

[franktangredi]

One more before bedtime.

41. CAROL BURNETT + U) I OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES (Walter Matthau) = Pete ‘n’ Tillie
80. JACK WEBB (Pete Kelly’s Blues)

[franktangredi]

I had to dig to find the second movie to complete this.

53. PAUL RHYS + P) FUNNY GAMES (Tim Roth) = Vincent and Theo
14. YVES MONTAND (Vincent, Francois, Paul and the Others)

Based on Frank's most recent consolidation, all the actors are correct. Six of the movies are wrong.

I hope one of them stars Brad Pitt and one of them stars Emily Watson.

[mrkelley23]

I think O might be The Legend of the Lone Ranger, rather than The Jazz Singer. Technically, Neil Diamond didn't retire from acting, since he did a couple more cameos over the years. Klinton Spilsbury, on the other hand, debuted in that movie and never worked again.

[mrkelley23]

BB appears to be a film called Ludwig, rather than PG&BtK. Cast includes Helmut Berger, Romy Schneider, and Gert Frobe.

[jarnon]

Paul LeMat was Melvin in Melvin and Howard, and Jason Robards was in Pat Garrett and billy the kid. And Warren Beatty played Howard Hughes in a different movie.

Luckily, Jason Robards is also in The Legend of the Lone Ranger.

The movie where Warren Beatty played Howard Hughes doesn't have Howard's name in its title.

[mrkelley23]

NN appears to be "To Live and Die in LA," rather than El Camino.

[mrkelley23]

VV is actually a movie called "Haunted Summer" rather than Ken Russell's much better known (but 1986, not 1988) movie about the same event, Gothic.

And Alex Winter is in Haunted Summer.

[mrkelley23]

A might be Slaughter's Big Rip-Off, rather than Black Caesar. Jim Brown played the lead role.

[mrkelley23]

JJ is a 2005 movie called The Proposition, which features Emily Watson.

[jarnon]

A might be Slaughter's Big Rip-Off, rather than Black Caesar. Jim Brown played the lead role.

IMDB confirms that Slaughter's Big Rip-Off is correct.

Great sleuthing, mrkelley23. You've found five of the six wrong movies.

[franktangredi]

VV is actually a movie called "Haunted Summer" rather than Ken Russell's much better known (but 1986, not 1988) movie about the same event, Gothic.

And Alex Winter is in Haunted Summer.

Excellent!

28. KEANU REEVES + VV) HAUNTED SUMMER (Alex Winter) = Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
93. DAVID CARRADINE (Kill Bill)

[franktangredi]

JJ is a 2005 movie called The Proposition, which features Emily Watson.

Also excellent!

50. RACHEL GRIFFITHS + JJ) THE PROPOSITION (Emily Watson) = Hilary and Jackie
10. NATALIE PORTMAN (Jackie)

And

14. YVES MONTAND + BB) LUDWIG (Romy Schneider) = Cesar and Rosalie
90. ELEANOR POWELL (Rosalie)

Second usage of Yves Montand

[franktangredi]

25. JOHN PHILLIP LAW + A) SLAUGHTER’S BIG RIP-OFF (Don Stroud) = Von Richthofen and Brown
39. JUDI DENCH (Mrs. Brown)

[franktangredi]

UPDATED CONSOLIDATION (one of the movies is still wrong)

Six of the actors are used twice.

50. RACHEL GRIFFITHS + JJ) THE PROPOSITION (Emily Watson) = Hilary and Jackie
10. NATALIE PORTMAN (Jackie)

Why isn't Keir Dullea on the Actor list? Janet Margolin is on the Movie list (she was in Morituri). And Dolores Hart played the title role in a movie called Lisa. So Keir Dullea should be on the actor list. Why is he not here?
