    As I say, the link is award-related, but takes some cross-referencing.

    Is 5. Kundun ?

    Contact and Kundun are correct.
    Very well done.

    All someone has to do now is decipher the link. As I said, I assembled this very quickly, so I won't be held responsible for the ridiculousness of the common thread.

    The link is connected to the Oscars for the year they were released.

    All released in 97 and all were Oscar nominated?
    A bit of a vague answer I know, but I can't really spot anything more specific!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,903 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    Some of them won Oscars (LA Confidential, As Good As It Gets, etc.), but it's to do with them not winning certain categories, and the less obvious Oscar nominees like Con Air, The Lost World and Face/Off provide some guidance.

    While we're continuing to scratch our heads on that last riddle!....here's another set. The link for this one is pretty easy.

    No. It's ridiculously obscure, in many ways.
    I'll happily divulge it, just to get rid of it! :P

    3 is Dances with Wolves.
    6 is the magnificent Midnight Cowboy.

    Both of them won Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars, though with only those two identified, I can't be sure that's the link you're looking for.

    Not complaining at all, there needs to be a challenge. Although I think I've made this one too easy :)

    Both correct, well done.
    You're on the right track for the link, but that's not quite the answer I'm looking for


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,903 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    Is it that they won Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards, without winning any acting awards?
    I think 5 may be Gigi, which that also applies to.

    You're correct on #5. Well spotted.

    Not correct with the link though. There are Oscar winning acting performances in this set.

    Your first guess at the link was actually closer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    #2 the poseiden adventure?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,725 ✭✭✭✭Zeek12


    #2 the poseiden adventure?

    Good guess, but No.
    It's a more recent film, from the following decade

    Nope, nothing to do with that.

    Three of these left. Here's a few clues:

    #2 80s film. Winner of several Oscars
    #4 A well known 1940s film from a very highly regarded Director
    #7 Director of this movie is better known for his acting career

    Is 7 Ordinary People?
    That was my first instinct when I saw it, but I wasn't sure.
    I'm now almost positive it's that.

    It sure is.....that's Mr. Sutherland hiding behind the camera! Well done.
