Seems like krox should be getting credit for the one he already suggested, that got us 2/3 of the way to the Tangredi:

24. THIS IS SPINAL TAP + 39. BEGINNING OF THE END = THIS IS THE END, with James Franco, who directed 71. THE DISASTER ARTIST

lol. I forgot to go back and check on that one.

75. is a Ryan Gosling movie called THE BELIEVER.

[silverscreenselect]

75. is a Ryan Gosling movie called THE BELIEVER.

That combines with True Lies for a movie called True Beleiver. I'm not sure what the third film for that is.

[franktangredi]

75. is a Ryan Gosling movie called THE BELIEVER.

I knew somebody was going to come up with a different answer for that one. I should have written a better clue.

Got a girlfriend ....??

Wrong girlfriend. This is Murder by Numbers in which Gosling played a Leopold and Loeb type killer. He started dating his co-star Sandra Bullock after the movie. That combines with 21. Death Wish for Murder by Death. I haven't checked the filmography to see what the actors in that film may have directed but with that cast, there should be a match somewhere.

Cast:
Eileen Brennan, Truman Capote, James Coco, Peter Falk, Alec Guinness, Elsa Lanchester, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Maggie Smith, Nancy Walker, and Estelle Winwood

#55 Can't Stop the Music was directed by Nancy Walker

[mrkelley23]

Apparently Ryan Gosling only makes movies to meet girlfriends.

And in at least two of them he played pretty despicable characters.

[kroxquo]

I agree that you are on to something, but I worked for an hour today trying to figure out how to get Rob Reiner into your pattern since we have The Princess Bride, This Is Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally all on the list. I could not figure it out. But I think we must be getting close.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to get Rob Reiner into the puzzle, either.

I know it's not part of the puzzle, but I just had to figure this out -

Primary Motive (Obscure Judd Nelson from 1990) + True Colors = Primary Colors with Rob Reiner who directed (Take your pick)

[silverscreenselect]

9. Room at the Top + 48. The Naked Gun = Top Gun with Tim Robbins who directed 90. Dead Man Walking

[silverscreenselect]

53. It was the first movie in its genre to win the Oscar for Best Picture in 59 years.

Unforgiven

This is not Unforgiven but Dances with Wolves, two years earlier, directed by Kevin Costner, who was in 80. Lillies of the Field + 31. Burden of Dreams = Field of Dreams.

[silverscreenselect]

The Clint Eastwood director's film is Mystic River. He starred in Heartbreak Ridge, which would match up nicely with Hacksaw Ridge. Perhaps one of the clues actually refers to one of the versions of The Heartbreak Kid.

Oops, the Clint Eastwood film is Dirty Harry which is in Jarnon's latest consolidation.

[jarnon]

New consolidation …

[silverscreenselect]

59. Three of the actresses in this film would later get back in the habit for The Sound of Music, The Flying Nun, and Sister Act.
THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS?

This one really has me stumped. It can't be The Trouble with Angels, which was released in 1966, because no actress in that film could "later" appear in The Sound of Music, which was released in 1964. I can't find any actresses who played nuns or mother superiors in these three films who had played a similar role earlier. The real puzzler is Sister Act, because the only actresses who were old enough to have played nuns before 1964 were Maggie Smith and Mary Wickes, and neither of them has a matching film on their filmographies.

Unless I'm missing something or Frank is making some sort of play on words here with the phrase "back in the habit," I can't find a single actress who fits, much less three separate actresses in three films.

[franktangredi]

This was a mistake on my part; I remembered incorrectly when The Trouble with Angels was released. It shows you should always check even things you think you know. (Especially things you think you know.)

44. CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF + 94. 12 ANGRY MEN = Tin Men with Danny DeVito, who directed 18. THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN

76. A MIGHTY WIND + 16. PLACES IN THE HEART = A Mighty Heart with Angelina Jolie, who directed 49. UNBROKEN

(with help from IMDB)

[silverscreenselect]

My Christmas contribution

2. Saving Private Ryan + 98. Best Years of Our Lives = Private Lives with Robert Montgomery who directed 43. Lady in the Lake.

[mellytu74]

1. GRAND ILLUSION + 58. HOTEL RWANDA = GRAND HOTEL, starring Lionel Barrymore, who directed 77. MADAME X

91. HIGH NOON + 4. THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE = HIGH SIERRA, starring Ida Lupino, who directed 59. THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS

[silverscreenselect]

92. It's a Mad World + 47. Max Dugan Returns = Mad Max with Mel Gibson who directed 30. Hacksaw Ridge

26. True Lies + 50. Murphy's Romance = True Romance with Dennis Hooper who directed 96. Easy Rider

[mellytu74]

70. THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN + 11. KINGS ROW = Three Kings, with George Clooney, who directed 46. GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK

I think we need an "OUT OF" title for Out of Africa Screams - Redford - Ordinary People. I can't believe that Africa Screams is here for anything else.

[mellytu74]

20. THE PRINCE OF TIDES + 54. THE LITTLE FOXES + Prince of Foxes, with Orson Welles, who directed 95. THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS

[mellytu74]

66. ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL + 88. A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN = Justice League with Ben Affleck, who directed 32. THE TOWN

[silverscreenselect]

12. “Cigarette?”
“Smoking.”

I think this might be Out of the Past. I can't find the exact quote because it's so short, but the characters do talk about smoking a few times. And that would match up with Africa Screams and Robert Redford.
