Well done, both.

Last one. A 1980s film based on a true story and starring a multiple Oscar-winner, the film was released under a different title in its home country as it was in the rest of the world. To reveal the home country would (probably) give the game away.

A Cry in the Dark?

5. Superman?

Mizu_Ger · 13-05-2013 6:19pm

Is 10. Kikujiro?

Looks like Takeshi Kitano with his back to the picture.

Norma_Desmond · 13-05-2013 6:29pm

5. The Amityville Horror?

It is Margot Kidder, but it's a few years earlier than Superman.

Very good guess, but no. It's three years later than Kikujiro.

It is Le Mepris. Well done.

7 is a 2004 film, and is seriously lowering the tone, although it is useful as a trivia question, as two of the cast of Mad Men appear in it. If you recognise the English actress in the photo, the setting will help you get it, since it's in the title.
8 is a 1974 French film. The actor playing the title character, on the left, was killed in a car accident the year after the film was released.
9 is a 1995 film, for which the lead actor, the man looking out the window, was nominated for an Oscar.
10 is a rites-of-passage drama whose lead actress held a particular Oscar-related title... until this year.

It'll come in handy for that pub quiz question. :P

I'm actually going to one later this week....but I'll be amazed if we get any questions on this

Riskymove · 14-05-2013 9:39am

so that leaves 10

Is your clue Meryl Streep? Nothing directly jumps to mind

any more hints?

delbertgrady · 14-05-2013 9:45am

It's nothing to do with Meryl. The film was released in 2002, and the actress in question held a particular record as an Oscar nominee, until she was "overtaken" by another nominee this year. Neither actress actually won the Oscar.

Yes, indeed. Keisha Castle-Hughes was the youngest Best Actress nominee, until Quvenzhané Wallis overtook her. Well deduced.

1. Strangers on a Train (again, I believe). Must be the high-waisted pants, but I didn't think that Robert Walker was this tall.
5. Airport... I'll guess the 1970 one.
8. Gleaming the Cube?
10. Silver Linings Playbook.

I could make a guess at a few of the other ones, but that's all it would be.

Zeek12 · 14-05-2013 1:33pm

4. Butterfield 8

6. Romancing the Stone?

All correct. Well done. Yes, I thought there had been a previous image posted from Strangers on a Train. Mind you, that hasn't stopped me posting two other images from films that have definitely been up before: I assembled this batch in a hurry.
