It is Hoosiers/Best Shot: double points for providing both titles!
It is Superman. Steve Kahan (whose cousin is Richard Donner) went on to play Captain Murphy in the Lethal Weapon films.

Well done, both.

That's exactly how I got it, recognized him as a more youthful looking Captain from the Lethal Weapon series! Never knew he was related to Donner.....still, I'm sure he got those roles on merit:cool:
But I always liked him as Capt. Murphy. You always got the sense he really wanted to be just like Riggs, but couldn't admit to it!

Is 3. Where The Wild Things Are?

delbertgrady

No, but I can see why you might think that. It's from a film released last year.

6. Inner Space?

And slightly offtopic, is that an invisible woman at the right of the Rocky Horror pic(5)?

6 isn't Innerspace, I'm afraid: it's from a film released the following year.

I don't know anything about an invisible woman - the closest thing I can see is a woman who looks "beheaded" since her head is hidden behind the chapel sign in the foreground. If there were something more mysterious in the frame, there must be some reasonable explanation, like the urban legend about the ghost in Three Men and a Baby.

CastorTroy

Ah the sign would explain it. Wasn't sure if it was in the foreground or background. Just see the clothes but no head and seemingly no hand holding the bouquet.

Some clues for the ones still left:

1. A darkly comic crime film from the early 90's. The writer/director went on to receive acclaim for another movie later that decade which was similarly dark but humorous

6. A bit of an obscure shot from a very well known 90's movie which had an all star cast - one of whom was the lead actor in movie 1 above!

Clues:
3 is from an epic 1984 film. It appears on screen in 1968, but we have jumped from the previous scene, set in the 1930s.
6 is from a 1978 blockbuster. This guy is a cop whose partner is about to come to a sticky end.
7 is from a 1980 racing movie featuring an English pop star-turned-actor in the lead.

7. Silver dream racer with David Essex. Nick Brimble on the left appeared several times in the original Sweeney.

Dead right. Very well done.
Nick Brimble's CV is indeed extensive, especially on television. He is possibly best known on the big screen as Little John in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
As it happens, Richard LeParmentier, who died on Monday, is also briefly in Silver Dream Racer, but I hadn't heard of his passing when I posted the image.

Any other clues on no.6?
This one is bugging me!! I'm fairly sure I've seen it.

delbertgrady

1988 comedy drama. The wedding is in the protagonist's home town (or borough), but the film is predominantly set in New York City. The lead actress is the daughter of a Hitchcock heroine.
An actress playing a key supporting role was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress while also nominated for Best Actress for a different film the same year, but cruelly won neither.

I presume you are talking about Wallander?? So its either Krister Henriksson or Kenneth Branagh?

I deduced the same, but either way, I still haven't a clue what the film is!
