Yes. Random, I know. But does seem like a theme I can imagine TCM structuring a day around.
Nice work, Peebs, + your turn. 🙂

Thanks, Peebs! I watched it as a kid, too. I had no idea (until I looked it up) how often Vincent Price was on there--693 times!
Hopefully this next one is pretty straightforward...

Ahhh, ok. Musical adaptions? This crossed my mind but I didn't realize that The Apartment had one, too.
All About Eve --- Applause
Smiles of a Summer Night -- A Little Night Music
Nights of Cabiria -- Sweet Charity
The Apartment--Promises, Promises
8-1/2 -- Nine
Yes, exactly! And surprisingly, while all these musicals were successful, Promises, Promises was the longest-running original production of any of them--it ran on Broadway for more than three years. (Sweet Charity and A Little Night Music are basically tied for shortest-running, at 1-1/2 years each.)
Nice work, Peebs, and it's your turn again. 🙂

Not sure what happened there.
You weren't looking at your hands and typed adjacent keyboard letters (m--> j, k--> l, a-->s, i-->o, e-->s). Fortunately, I believe it's only charged as a misdemeanor, except in certain states.

Peter Sellers was in Being There with Shirley JacKson's
Who is Shirley JacKson's? (jk, I can see that was a case of your fingers being out of position when typing 🙂 )
fwiw, I was thinking of Lolita (Shelley Winters) --> Harper

The stuff that dreams are made of (added to the Maltese Falcon - not in novel)
You probably realize this already, but this line was adapted from Shakespeare's The Tempest ("We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep").
I'm never quite sure whether we're supposed to think Sam Spade is consciously paraphrasing Shakespeare here, or if it's just supposed to be an expression he heard but doesn't necessarily know the origin of. (In any case, I'm pretty sure the screenwriters knew.)

Yes. That's why my original post said "hint: the respective films cover a more than 60-year time span." The actor in question had a long career!

How far back are we going with Peter Lorre?
1930s (but not German)
(big) hint: the person in question was also a famous stage actor

next: Ralph Bellamy Gene Tierney Gene Hackman Anne Archer Diane Keaton
I agree, I've tried various tacks but keep running into a dead end. The only thing I've found so far that works for all five actors is this--they all appeared in remakes of another film:
Bellamy: His Girl Friday (The Front Page)
Tierney: That Wonderful Urge (Love is News)
Hackman: Narrow Margin (The Narrow Margin), The Birdcage (La cage aux folles), Under Suspicion (Garde à vue)
Archer: Narrow Margin (The Narrow Margin)
Keaton: Father of the Bride (Father of the Bride), Mad Money (Hot Money), The Big Wedding (Mon frère se marie)
But I actually hope this isn't the right answer, because this sort of thing can probably be found in the résumés of most actors (Hollywood being as unoriginal as it often is). In other words, it wouldn't be a restrictive enough list to enable one to hone in on the right answer, because it could apply to almost anyone.
fwiw, four of these actors worked with at least one of the others (Bellamy and Hackman have each worked with three of them)...but none worked with Tierney.

Ah, sorry, I skimmed right over that somehow (...which is ironic since I was recently reminding someone else of the rules of a different game.) In that case there are several possible correct answers, but I assume William Frawley is still one of them.
Next:
Peter Lorre, Marlon Brando, and Cate Blanchett
(hint: the respective films cover a more than 60-year time span)

Well, William Frawley appeared in an unreleased I Love Lucy movie (1953), unless you just mean that he appeared with all of them in the TV series. Although the film itself was basically just three previous TV episodes strung out into a feature film by adding some new interstitial material.

How about played directors?
Dan Ackroyd played Mack Sennett in Chaplin
Cary Elwes played Thomas Ince in The Cat's Meow
Ryan O'Neal played a would be director in Nickelodeon and a character reportedly based on Peter Bogdanavich in Irreconcilable Differences
William Demarest The Perils of Pauline
Peter Lorre The Patsy
Cornel Wilde The Comic
Hi Peebs, that's it!--specifically silent film directors. (I was thinking of Peter Lorre in The Buster Keaton Story, btw. He plays "Kurt Bergner," a director who is not impressed by Keaton. Like most other things in that movie, I assume he has little or no basis in reality.)
Great job, Peebs, and thanks for hanging in there all this time. As Lina Lamont would say, I hope you feel all your hard work ain't been in vain for nothing. If I could award you extra credit for valor above and beyond the call of duty, I would. 🙂
Your turn! (finally)

This is a tough one! I have no idea but just some clunky guesses:
movies that are song titles?
Comin' Round the Mountain (1940)
All Through the Night (1942)
It Had to Be You (1947)
Paper Moon or Chances Are
Cradle Will Rock
*****
Car/driving titles?
The Crash (1928)
The Chase (1946)
Road House (1948)
The Driver (1978)
The Chase (1994)
Wow, Peebs, I can see you've been working hard! I'm impressed that you managed to come up with two commonalities that actually work, but which I hadn't even thought of. I'll try to steer you more on the right track...
Hint 1: all these actors played characters (some real-life people, some fictional) with a very particular job description. Some of them are not actually seen "at work" within the film itself. Another example would be Dan Aykroyd.

I've never been an admirer of Ryan O'Neal's acting abilities but I will concede he pulled off the title role of BARRY LYNDON very well.
In addition to Paper Moon (as TikiSoo mentioned), his drolly understated comic performance in What's Up, Doc? is unexpectedly good. Yes, it's a deliberate allusion to Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby, but it works surprisingly well on its own terms.
