158 Matthew Modine with the glasses in Full Metal Jacket (1987)
And correct again. A clue for # 159 is ''A certain rime of day''.
161
From a well below standard designed ( and I am being kind in my summing up of the poster artwork ) Australian poster. A very well known film. Name the title of the film and sorry about the artwork. A extra point awarded if you can name the male depicted in the image.
#159. Commandos Strike at Dawn (1942) with Paul Muni and Lilian Gish. I had to cheat and use image search though.
Correct and I don't care how you go about coming up with an answer.
Now for # 161. This image could maybe prove confusing in attempting to identify the male actor and the film title. Again I will emphasize that the film in question was a biggie in it's day.
Ah 161: The Dirty Dozen, I believe Charles Bronsons holding the rather unfortunate lady?
The answer for this 1967 film is certainly The Dirty Dozen. No extra point though for incorrectly naming the actor and the chupa chups reward I had in mind as well stays in my cupboard. Telly Savalas was the man and I had to show the awful Australian one sheet that the artwork came from.
It was 50:50 between Bronson and Savalas as if memory serves me right they both meet women in the mansion? although Savalas appears to take pleasure in killing his 'find'.
The full colour one sheet has a similar image of G.I and female which I assumed the awful image above came from? and in that one he looked more like Bronson than Savalas so went with that.
So submachine guns were ok? Madness. Or was it the fact that the knife gave the impression Lee Marvin was about to meet his maker?
From memory only wasn't the fight done in training with no harm done ?
Indeed it was Lawrence, but assumed it was missing from the Aussie poster as it hinted at violence (when though they were only 'playing' in that instance).
I've just finished watching 'The Way Ahead' a moment or so ago, so hoping your number 162 is an image of David Niven training a platoon of recruits!
I do have an image from the film but to make it # 162 would be too obvious. I will include it here sometime this year though. A great film and hopefully you watched the original British full length version and not the edited, shortened and re-titled in the U.S.A. as The Immortal Battalion version.
I should watch that Niven movie again, thanks for reminding me Wil.
Great film Matt (I believe it's also freely available on YouTube), Niven wasn't long out of the Army himself before being cast in it.
The Quad posters (unfortunately I have neither) are mighty impressive! One (with Nivens large portrait is currently on eBay for a rather large sum and the bayonet version (copy shown in the National Army Museum archives) seems very to be illusive on the market.
#161: Teach me to trust my instincts. I had guessed Savalas in Dirty Dozen, but didn't post it because the dress was wrong and Savalas wasn't wearing a helmet.
Thanks for keeping us entertained Lawrence, about time I jumped in and participated (being from a military family and wearing green almost 20 years myself, I'm keen to see if you put up any titles that i haven't already binged on!)

This is something I enjoy doing Wil and I am pleased you find it entertaining. I have been holding back some titles that I thought would be too hard for people to answer. Now for you ( and others as well ) some difficult titles to challenge you will be appearing soon.

# 161 It is one of these that is poorly depicted in the image in question.

The Australian daybill has the same image as your one sheet poster example, with only the Oz version missing Clint Walker's knife.

Name the film titles.A mixture of easy and not so easy I think.

163: Cockleshell heroes (1955)
Did someone say Niven????
Both Correct. We certainly have more than a few members who like and know about war films it seems. I'll keep them coming then.
Three more to name. All these films are well known and should be gettable.
166: The Fighting Seabees (1944)
167: D-Day The Sixth Of June (1956)
I'll have to now throw in a difficult one now and then to challenge all the War film buffs out there.
Three more to answer. All are from well known films.
