Fausterlitz

Thanks, Bunny! This next one springs off of yours, so hopefully should be pretty straightforward... Next: Cate Blanchett Amanda Bynes Glenn Close Meryl Streep (TV) Tilda Swinton

They all played Hamlet? 1. Asta Nielsen 2. Laurence Olivier 3. Nicol Williamson 4. Mel Gibson 5. Maxine Peake (onstage)

Those are all correct 🙂

Yes, exactly, Bunny! And as always, a super-thorough answer. I was actually thinking of ballet dancer Leslie Browne as the second example for The Turning Point, but of course you're quite right about Shirley MacLaine (e.g., she replaced Carol Haney onstage in The Pajama Game). Also I forgot about Rita Moreno! Great job, and your thread. 🙂

Thanks, Lavender Blue! Here's a list of working titles (which were ultimately rejected) for some familiar films. These usually reference either the plot or the original source material. How many can you identify? 🙂 1. From Among the Dead (1958) 2. Not Tonight, Josephine (1959) 3. How the Solar System Was Won (1968) 4. Head Cheese (1974) 5. Anhedonia (1977) 6. Watch the Skies (1977) 7. Star Beast (1979) 8. Spaceman from Pluto (1985) 9. The Body (1986) 10. When I Grow Up (1988) 11. Wiseguy (1990) 12. The Cut-Wh*re Killings (1992) 13. Black Mask (1994) 14. Coma Guy (1995) 15. Wind-Up Heroes (1995)

2. Gary Merrill 3. Gary Lockwood

The Great Moment (1944) (ether anaesthetic) The Thing From Another World (1951) One Froggy Evening (1955) (singing frog) The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) (Flubber) 2001: A Space Odyssey (tools; monoliths) The Wild Child (1970)

Hint 2: Terpsichorean / Thespian

(deleted)

Tim Blake Nelson (e.g., O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

As Madeline Kahn's character in Paper Moon would have said, Deneuve's face definitely has "bone struck-chah!" Great cheekbones and an elegant neck. I never noticed before that she also has a cleft chin. I see the Garbo comparison mostly in the first photo, where she has more natural (less trimmed) eyebrows; also, their noses look more similar from that particular angle.

Thanks, Bunny! Next: Anchors Aweigh (1945) West Side Story (1961) The L-Shaped Room (1962) The Towering Inferno (1974) The Turning Point (1977) (two examples) (Hint: dual talents; Oscar-related)

Golden Globe nominations or wins for Best Original Song? (Footloose was only nominated, the other four also won.)

Jean-Luc Godard in Breathless Terrence Malick in Badlands James L. Brooks in Modern Romance* Barry Levinson in Rain Main Richard Linklater in Slacker and Before Sunrise John Hughes in The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off Curtis Hanson in Adaptation* Spike Lee in many of his films (although some of those qualify as actual roles) Jon Favreau in Elf and Iron Man Todd Phillips in The Hangover * another director's film

Hi Bunny, that's a nice answer, and actually happens to overlap in most cases with what I was specifically looking for: in addition to their Best Screenplay Oscar wins, all these directors were also nominated for at least one acting role (in Huston's case, as Best Supporting Actor for The Cardinal [1963]). So I didn't need the writing and acting to be in the same film, although as you rightly point out, in many cases it was. In addition to the examples you listed, Allen also won Best Original Screenplay for Hannah and Her Sisters, Thornton was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for A Simple Plan, and Damon was nominated as Best Actor for The Martian and Best Supporting Actor for Invictus. Great job, and your thread... 🙂

The main giveaway is that Tucker apparently used even more Brylcreem. 🙂

Thanks, Bunny! Thanks, Bunny! 🙂 Next: Orson Welles John Huston Woody Allen Billy Bob Thornton Matt Damon (Hint: double-threat, Oscar-related)

Twins? Dolores del Rio: La Otra (1945) Olivia de Havilland: The Dark Mirror (1946) Bette Davis: A Stolen Life (1946) and Dead Ringer (a remake of La Otra) (1964) Hayley Mills: The Parent Trap (1961) Jeremy Irons: Dead Ringers (1988)

Yep, you got it! Sorry that one was kind of random. 🙂 Nice work, Bunny, and your thread...

Hint 2: the second and third words in each film title (three letters each) are the same in every case

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955) How to Murder a Rich Uncle (1957) How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965) How to Murder Your Wife (1965) The Knack...and How to Get It (1965) How to Steal a Million (1966) How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

Thanks, Bunny! (And for grading me on a curve -- I didn't realize there was more than one Tom Wilson.) 🙂 Next: 1. Bryan Russell, Walter Slezak 2. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin 3. Michael Paré, Tom Berenger 4. Kevin Peter Hall, John Lithgow 5. Justin Long, Jesse McCartney (voices) (Hint: parallel title structure)

Appeared in films with meat in the title? Tom Wilson: Pig Goat Banana Cricket (2015-2018) (voices) Dan Dailey: Chicken Every Sunday (1948) Gregory Peck: Pork Chop Hill (1959) Steve Railsback: Turkey Shoot (1982) Don Cheadle: Hamburger Hill (1987)

The Lower Depths (1936) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) Kanal (1957) Fantastic Voyage (1966) (inside a human body) In the Treetops (2015) Greenland (2020) Archipelago (2021) (Svalbard) Edge of the World (2021)

Yes, perfect answer, Bunny! All the other characters on The Beverly Hillbillies address her as Granny, so for the purposes of the question I thought that was fair game. (Nanny McPhee's real first name is Matilda, but no one ever calls her that, either.) Nice work as always, and your turn. 🙂
