Who's the actor in 8 1/2?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Marcello Mastroianni

Is #1 Dangerous Liaisons, or am I entirely mad?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

(a) no
(b) insufficient evidence to judge

By the time I got to this quiz, the only one I was sure of had gone, and so had the ones I had faint theories on. But I'm casting around for Films I Haven't Seen With Vaguely Mediaeval-Looking Warriors Riding About for 4, and wondered if anyone had suggested The Thirteenth Warrior yet.

1 kind of looks like Sharon Stone - Disclosure?
9 King Solomon's Mines?
4. Rashamon?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

no but it's wrong anyway

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

all wrong

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

100%!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Still worth eliminating. I considered El Cid, but it looks too artistic.

Is 9 some version of Mata Hari?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

no

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

you should be able to get no.4

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'd found "Triumph of thez Will", too!

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Of The Will, even...

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I only credit the first person

Wandered in here via itchyfidget.

I think 1 is a vampire movie I've got at home ... erm ... Embrace of the Vampire?

[frankie-ecap.livejournal.com]

Sharon Stone wasn't in Disclosure. Are you thinking of Demi More, or are you thinking of Basic Instinct?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[frankie-ecap.livejournal.com]

I owe you an o. O!

[missedith01.livejournal.com]

Double Yay! :-)

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Yes. To the Basic Instinct thing.

By the way, thinking of Films I Have Seen With Vaguely Mediaeval-Looking Warriors Riding About, have you ever seen Alfred the Great starring David Hemmings (1969)? It was extremely weird, but I'd like to see it again.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Is 4 Throne of Blood? Or did I ask that already...

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

No I haven't. Is that the formerly a boy soprano David Hemmings?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

It's not but you are getting close in an odd way

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

That's the man. Died a couple of years ago. Was a rather nasty Alfred, with a very fraught marriage.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Ah. Should we be thinking on Macbethian lines?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

He was rather good in Turn of the Screw

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

indeed
