Yes, it is (literally) The Woman in Red.

8. Nashville

3. Norma Rae

7. Is it Vertigo ?

10 Wonder Boys ?

delbertgrady · 07-06-2013 08:31AM

Nashville is right. Well done.
It's not Vertigo.

4. The Pleasure of His Company?
5. Dog Soldiers?

Just added a few more guesses in my last post

Both correct. Well done.

Neither, I'm afraid. It's the same city as The Pleasure of His Company, but it's from the mid-seventies.
Dog Soldiers is an inspired guess, but regrettably not right. It's a much better known film.

And the answers given so far might point someone towards the link, which will enable some further deduction.

is it Skyfall?

delbertgrady · 07-06-2013 09:00AM

It certainly is! Well done.
That hopefully should provide a further clue too, based on the answers already given.

Inspired logic, but just a couple of years out.

2. A Hole in the Head

delbertgrady · 07-06-2013 09:18AM

Very well done.
And that's the lot, I think.
As you've all probably deduced, they all won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Some are naturally more well-known than others, but I figured if I put a few in whose songs are significantly associated with the film (The Thomas Crown Affair, The Woman in Red, Skyfall), that might set it up nicely for some detective work. You wouldn't necessarily associate some of them with having won Oscars in that particular category:

1. The Thomas Crown Affair – Windmills of Your Mind
2. Hole in the Head – High Hopes
3. Norma Rae – It Goes Like It Goes
4. The Towering Inferno – We May Never Love Like This Again
5. Skyfall - Skyfall
6. The Woman in Red – I Just Called to Say I Love You
7. The Man Who Knew Too Much – Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera Sera)
8. Nashville – I’m Easy
9. Days of Wine and Roses – Days of Wine and Roses
10. Wonder Boys – Things Have Changed

Scanning through the winners is certainly interesting

great films with very memorable tunes

other not so great films where, as you say, you probably wouldn't even connect it to the song (I just called to say I love you? never would have connected it toa film)

also, a lot of disney in recent years

also how else would Phil Collins get Oscar nominations?

delbertgrady · 07-06-2013 09:26AM

He's been up a few times, hasn't he?
Against All Odds, Buster and eventually winning for Tarzan.

I remember a guy I knew ruefully remarking in the mid-nineties that Prince had an Oscar (for Best Original Song Score) and Martin Scorsese didn't.

Yep. That's the best I could do for a connection!

The remaining 2 are unrelated to these.

No, it's more obscure than that. It was made in a country that doesn't exist anymore!

Looking through films of the Soviet Union isnt as fun as I thought.
