Pah! Those two films and Groundhog Day are the only ones I've ever seen that actor in, but I don't think it's Groundhog Day, so I'm at a loss!

He had quite a small but funny part in this film, which has numerous sequels (even one coming out as we speak)

IMDB is my friend here and even never having seen any of them, I'm a gonna plump for Scary Movie....

I don't remember it, and so this might be cheating but Scary Movie (2000) ?

the purple tin

well guessed Dark Crystal and The Usual.
I would recommend the first film, it's a good laugh, even better if you've seen 'scream'.

Two left from my original ten:
6 is a mid-nineties comedy-drama by an unlikely director: a multiple Oscar winner and two-time Palme d'Or winner.
10 is the second film adaptation of a turn of the century French novel; this version is by a well-known Spanish director.

delbertgrady

Yes, very well done.

10. Is it 36 or Caché (Hidden)?

No, but it is the great Daniel Auteuil and it is from around the same time as the films you've mentioned.

10. Is it "My best friend" ?

delbertgrady

Yes, it is My Best Friend (Mon Meilleur Ami). Well deduced.

Is it 'Jack'?

It is indeed Jennifer Lopez in Jack, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Here are some clues for these two.

This man and woman met when he tried to sneak out of a diner without paying for his breakfast. He bunked off work and spent the day with her.



This is an old Disney classic. The man in the air isn't falling, he's bouncing

delbertgrady

Ah... the one with the car is Something Wild, with Melanie Griffith behind the wheel.

5.

Is this from Bullitt?

karma_

#3 is Hell Drivers, which is a great little film, a personal favourite.

Tomohawk

#4 is this The Great Race with Tony Curtis?

delbertgrady

The Purple Tin: it's McQueen in the shot (well done) ... but it's not Bullitt.
Karma and Tomohawk both right. Well done.
Hell Drivers is indeed a little gem, and what a cast! Doctor Who, a Man From UNCLE, James Bond... and of course, The Prisoner himself.

10. Diary of a chambermaid, Luis Bunuel ??

irishash

From the Steve McQueen clue, I would guess this is the getaway.



Alice doesnt live here anymore, Scorsese?



One of my faves, In the heat of the night. They call me "Mr" Tibbs



Sleeping Beauty, Jane Campion. Saw this recently, bit of a strange flick.

delbertgrady

Irishash gets the gold star. All correct. Well done.
