    As we wait for an answer to arrive for image C167,  two more images  for those members that often miss out on answering images that they recognize. Due to inclusion of the images at perhaps inconvenient  times for some, I will in future enter new entries at different times during the day and night to try and accommodate members from both here and overseas..

     C169
     C170

  • Would C167 be Goodbye Mr Chips? (1939 version)

  • Would C167 be Goodbye Mr Chips? (1939 version)
    Good guess, but incorrect. The film you mention is too lighthearted. Think of a darker setting.

    It is very difficult to see in this particular image, but the clue is in what is happening outside the two windows.
  • I guess the answers to that image are All Quiet then?

    I guess the answers to that image are All Quiet then?
    Correct and well worked out. C167 is All Quiet On The Western Front ( 1930 ). I rewatched this great film a few years back, and it still stands up as being a powerful film today, 92 years later..




  • C170....Birdie Num Num...Birdie Num Num...Num Num...The Party
  • C170....Birdie Num Num...Birdie Num Num...Num Num...The Party

    Correct. It is indeed The Party From !968. Some fond memories perhaps?

     
  • I adore The Party!  If ever I am having a really crap time and need to lift my spirits I watch this one.  Sellers at his brilliant genius best.  The birdie num num scene leaves me in stitches ever time... A classic for me for sure!




  • A clue for the yet unanswered C169 is Jo Stafford.


  • A final clue for C169 is that for the character appearing in the pictured image, practical and groundbreaking CGI special effects were used. I was definitely impressed when I viewed the film in the cinema.
  • That cloud formation looks so familiar but just can't place it. I'd be guessing by saying "What Lies beneath"

    Sorry but not the answer. The film you are searching for is a much more well known film.
  • C169 - Jaws?

    Hard to see at first, but I think I see the woman from the opening scene there.
  • Sorry, but not Jaws.

    Definitely the following are my final clues. The clues are GS and I am a man.
  • Forrest Gump 1994 - is that Gary Sinise?


    Peter
  • Forrest Gump 1994 - is that Gary Sinise?
    I thought this too, but didn't we already have this one?

  • Correct. It is indeed Gary Sinise seen in the image C169. 

    I haven't ever included this image here on this particular thread, or any other  forum thread. I surely  would have remembered. Also I do list everything used here on the forum. and on searching no sighting at all found of this Forrest Gump image, or anything familiar in any shape and form has been located here included from any other memberd either. 




  • Sorry, I meant I thought we had already had Forrest Gump as a classic, but I must have gotten mixed up

    On doing some more digging I have since located that Eisenhower ( Mark ) started a new quiz named a new Movie Prop Mania! This quiz commenced on July 2016, and there was an entry for an image number 98 placed in November 2016, that now shows only as being in the following replacement form. 

    .

    Ves had then later answered Forrest Gump correctly. but the original Mark posted image no longer exists here on the thread. Mark's response at the time was as follows.

    All correct! Damn! You folks have acute mental movie memories!!

    confirmation of answers...

    98-Penny Marshall's Forest Gump. Little Forest's leg braces before he broke free!  

    This perhaps would be what what you were thinking about then Ves?

     C148

    Two films about important U.S.A. history.
    Sorry, I have been offline spending time with the family.

    So for some reason I had this entry in my head as Forrest Gump so thought the Sinise image couldn't be Forrest Gump, but clearly it was not...hence my confusion!
    My fault, I mis-remembered.
    All good, looking forward to the next lots.
  • No problem Ves,. I really do appreciate all  your participation in the quizes. 

    Two more new entries then.

     C171  C172
  • Hmmm.  Both can be found with image search, but are a bit obscure, although the stars are certainly major league.  I havent seen either one, so I will leave this to others

    I would have never called either of these classic films as being obscure.   

     Any other members thoughts? Firstly there names, and are they obscure or well known titles to you.

    C171 has to be The Letter (1940) Bette Davis...what an opening!


    Peter
  • C171 has to be The Letter (1940) Bette Davis...what an opening!
    Correct, and agree on what is a great attention grabbing opening scene.

     

  • C172 answer revealed.

     

    I had thought that the very young teenage Diana Dors, as the appeared in David Lean's Oliver Twist from 1948, would be recognised.



    After she became a a platinum blonde is how she will be mostly remembered. 
  • That was a tricky one!


    Peter


  • Just need to inform you that due to poor health at present, I will not be including any more new entries here on this quiz,for possibly some time.

    While I will be absent from organising anything new,, some  feedback here would be very appreciated though, 

    Should  my quiz entries in future be of only extremely well known films perhaps? Maybe I restrain myself from inclufmg lesser known and remembered classic films?
  • Hope you get well soon. I think quizzes from any films is good, some of us have quite obscure knowledge.


    Peter
  • Best wishes Lawrence and hope you're better soon.
