    My first thought was Sugarland Express, but that was set in the 1970s.
    A search turned up Suddenly (1954) starring ol Blue Eyes himself.  But from the period when he was box office poison.  I vaguely recall watching this as an afternoon movie in the 60s.

    Update: I am apparently wrong about seeing this as the film was shelved after the JFK assassination until it fell into public domain in the late 70s.

    Isn't C442 Laurence Harvey in The Manchurian Candidate?
    It is indeed the answer. The Manchurian Candidate from 1962,

    Correct. Suddenly from 1954. This taut little thriller. along with The Manchurian Candidate are well worth checking out for anyone who may not have seen them. I could do with seeing them both again.

    I too used to believe the "shelving" story! Legend says that after President Kennedy was killed in 1963, Frank Sinatra asked that this movie be removed from distribution, but that is purely an urban legend. It is also said that Lee Harvey Oswald watched this movie days before the Kennedy assassination, but that may also be legend.

     C443
     C444
    Even if not a western fan these two images shouldn't present any problem in identifying them.
  • HONDOHONDO
     I had thought C443 and C444 would be very easy images to identify, being two well known and regarded classic western films.
  • BruceBruce
    C443 looks like Shane, and I thought several people would know that, so maybe I am wrong!

    Spot on Bruce. Shane from 1953. The menacing Jack Palance seen entering the saloon.

    Good to know.
  • HONDOHONDO
    C444 clue is one of the films that changed the way western films were presented in the 1960s.

    I am now thinking that perhaps that time has arrived, Really surprised that this one hasn't to date been answered by anyone else.

    Once Upon a Time in the West.

    I think alot of these films (for me any way) blend into each other.

    Yes C444 is Once Upon A Time In The West from 1968. A valid point you make Ves.



  • HONDOHONDO
     C445  C446
    Hoping these two new images will be more solvable this time around. 
  • theartofmovieposterstheartofmovieposters
    I think I know them both, but I will take C445 - Annie
  • jayn_jjayn_j
    Well ok.  Good quick call, Ves.
    C446 is The Red Shoes.  Those surrealistic backgrounds are a dead giveaway.

    Correct, Annie from 1982.

    Correct The Red Shoes from 1948.

     C447
     C448
    Excellent prompt responses in answering the previous two images, so well done.
     Let's now see how these two new images will fare.
  • jayn_jjayn_j
    Don't even need to confirm.  C447 is Catch 22
  • BruceBruce
    I seem to remember that sleazy bar from C448 in Touch of Evil

    Correct. Memory held up well Bruce. Touch Or Evil from 1958. I really like this film.

     C449
     C450
    Two more entries to have you thinking.
  • RickRick
    450 - Lawrence of Arabia?

    A good guess but incorrect. You need to think further north.
  • jayn_jjayn_j
    450. Bridge on the River  Kwai??
