9. Children of Men??

It's not Children of Men, but I can see why you'd think that, given the actor and the tone of the image.

4. Donnie Brasco
11. Eat Pray Love? (guessing!)

Donnie Brasco is right. Well done.
Eat Pray Love is a superb guess, but not correct.

Is 11. Duplicity? (still guessing, it definitely looks like Julia Roberts!)

delbertgrady

Very well deduced.
It is indeed Julia Roberts in Duplicity.

PS, despite him being in 9 and 11, Clive Owen isn't a link...

ButtersSuki

Is 10. American Splendour?

delbertgrady

Yes it is. Well spotted.

Wichita Lineman

5. There's Something About Mary? guessing as it looks like Ben Stiller's mad hair in it :-)

delbertgrady

No. It's an Oscar-winning film from six years later.

ButtersSuki

This is a mad guess......is 6. Rock of Ages?

The OH watched it on a plane to the US sitting beside me last year. I SWEAR I DIDN'T WATCH IT (honestly!), but there's something drawing me to that.

delbertgrady

It IS Rock of Ages. [shudder]
Maybe the album sleeves on the posters pointed you in that direction.
Well done.

I don't know whether to be chuffed I got this or embarrassed! :rolleyes:

NothingMan

Dammit, I thought it was Rock of Ages but going on the callibre of films usually posted I thought "No one would pick that piece of poop". Ah well. :pac:

delbertgrady

It's a correct answer: nothing to be embarrassed about.

Normally not... but there is a reason it's there. :rolleyes:

5. Sideways is correct.
9. Shoot 'Em Up is correct.

Beautiful Girls is wrong, but it is Michael Rapaport, so do the old cross-checking to see what it is.

yeah I guessed that before I copped the link

is it Mighty Aphrodite?

delbertgrady

Very well done. He's not in it much, but I had to throw in one or two where he's not in a central role, to balance out with some of the others.

Riskymove

12. Win Win?

delbertgrady

Correct! The clue's in the photo, kind of. Well done.

But what of the others? And has anyone else spotted the link that we're so shrewdly keeping to ourselves?

D-FENS

I think No.1 is Barney's Version?

I knew I had seen that recently, but couldn't place it.

Is the link Paul Giamatti so?

delbertgrady

Re: D-FENS

It is Barney's Version. Well done.

Yes. It's his birthday today, and he's in all these films.
I think there are now two left.

Riskymove

well I am certainly struggling now, even with the link...mostly because the link has been in a lot of films

is 8 My Best friend's wedding?

delbertgrady

No. The photo is regrettably a bit small, but the people in the picture have above-the-title billing in the film in question, which is from the early noughties. The man in the photo is an actor/writer/director (but not of this film), and the woman won an Oscar a couple of years later. The film also stars a two-time Oscar winner (and bona fide legend).

8. The Core

8. The Core

It's not The Core, I'm afraid, but it is from 2003 and some of my clues could certainly apply to other people in that film, namely Hilary Swank (who won an Oscar for Million Dollar Baby in 2005) and the brilliant (though Oscarless) Richard Jenkins, but they're not in this.

Wichita Lineman

8. Runaway Jury?

delbertgrady

Argh! You're very close, 'cos it is Rachel Weisz and the same "bona fide legend" is in it as well, but - crucially - our link Paul Giamatti isn't.

Wichita Lineman

forgot all about him!

Confidence

delbertgrady

It is Confidence.
Ed Burns + Rachel Weisz + Dustin Hoffman + Paul Giamatti.
Well deduced.

Wichita Lineman

Finally!

Good pic as it's hard to tell it's Ed Burns and I was convinced it was Julianne Moore for ages.

Mizu_Ger

Is 8. Confidence? I haven't seen it for ages

Ed Burns, Rachel Weisz and Dusitn Hoffman (The Legend?)

Crumbs

Is 7 The Ides of March?

You were obviously off verifying this while the previous posts appeared.
It's not the first time that's happened. You still get a point for effort.

It certainly is. Very well done. I had other shots, but key cast members, campaign buses and posters kind of gave the game away.
And that's the lot.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Giamatti.

Who's the girl in the pic, Delbert? I thought maybe Evan Rachel Wood but she looks younger (But just as nice )

delbertgrady

She's the intern at the end of the film. I'm not sure if she even has a character name - I've not seen the film since it was out. I can't find anything on the imdb to suggest who she is.

Wichita Lineman

10. A Man For All Seasons

delbertgrady

Film adaptations of stage plays.

3. The Crucible
4. Desperate Hours (

I'd to check this was based on a play

)
5. Sleuth
7. The Subject Was Roses (It's Grandpa Joe!)
9. Long Day's Journey Into Night (Jason Robards being the clue)

I'm trying to figure out the rest!

Zoom! All correct! Good work.

I think I made this lot too easy:)

I actually thought No. 2 might be Dangerous Minds, but that's based on a book. And it looks much earlier.

Yeah, it's an older movie alright, from the 80s.

Just three left.
