Film still quiz - again

[chickenfeet]

You know the drill. Ten stills from ten movies. Name the flicks.

1230 EDT: As far as I can tell crappy Rogers/Geocities/Yahoo is FUBAR and won't serve up the pics. Service will be resumed as soon as they get their heads out of their arses.

1300 EDT: Seems to be working

Exhausted your data allocation thingy.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Yahoo/Geocities playing silly buggers. It's a technical fault at their end.

Can't see images, no guesses! (I tried the URLs but geocities says the data transfer allocation has been exceeded.)

Something experimental and arty?

[popsock.livejournal.com]

I think they are all from the art film "A Red Cross In The Middle Of A White Box". ;-)

3. Fanny and Alexander?
8. Tampopo

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Yup

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh good, they're here!

No. 3 is that Bergman film about the big family and the father dies and the mother who's an actress marries a pastor and they have to be rescued by the Jewish uncle-type, and it's called after the children... um... Fanny and Alexander?

And No. 7 is Raise the Red Lantern, I think, when Gong Li is talking to the maid with aspirations to become a concubine.

The principle here seems to be that the brighter the colour, the more likely I am to make a guess!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Both correct

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

6. is From Russia With Love.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

correct

[oursin.livejournal.com]

9 is either La Grande Illusion or All Quiet on the Western Front

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

All Quiet on the Western Front

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

Five is from one of my all time faves, "Jean de Florette." Hope you don't mind my popping in. Grading break meant surfing lj too much!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

No worries. Jean de Florette is close but not quite.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Close? Does that mean Manon des sources?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

mais oui

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

Argh. Now I have to see it again -- I was sure Cesar died at the end of J de F, but then I always watch them together ...

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

I want to say number 1 is from "The Dirty Dozen," but I can't remember if James Coburn is in it. My first thought was "The Great Escape," but I'm positive that's wrong.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Neither guess is correct

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I've been pondering No. 4, which looks like a youngish Alec Guinness, and am wondering if it might be Man in the White Suit?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

correct

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

I dont believe it, I don't believe it, I've finally got one! Number 10 is the English Patient!!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

correct!

[ironed_orchid]

Judging on uniform, 1 is either 'Cross of Iron' or 'Hell is for Heroes'.

2 is the requisite Jenny Agutter film that no one else has seen, but you probably own a copy.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Cross of iron

[ironed_orchid]

Wheee, I (sorta) got one!
