Going back a page -

Zeek 12 No.4 is The Lost Weekend.

Okay, so all these films won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay:

The Bridge on the River Kwai, Out of Africa, Dances with Wolves, The Lost Weekend, Gigi, Midnight Cowboy and Ordinary People

They were all adapted from novels or novellas, apart from Out of Africa, which was adapted from three sources, one of which was an autobiography.
I really don't know what the link is beyond the fact that they all have the Oscars for Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture and Best Director.
It can't be that they have these without having won any acting Oscars, as Ray Milland won for The Lost Weekend and Timothy Hutton won for Ordinary People.

Correct on #4, well spotted.

You're right (in a roundabout way), the link is simply that they are all winners of the Best Picture Oscar and were adapted from Novels/books. Although the Out of Africa source material was a bit more complicated so apologies if that one threw you off the scent!

Bit of a random guess....is 4. Wise Blood?
That looks a bit like HD Stanton on the ground

delbertgrady · 11-06-2013 12:26PM

No. It's not Harry Dean Stanton, I'm afraid and that particular film couldn't be more different from Wise Blood!
Despite the downbeat image, it's from a 1972 comedy.

Well, I was clearly overthinking this.

I'm sure this has been discussed but the imcdb.com images are way too easy to google. I've been stumped by a few that I knew I knew so googled the image to see. Didn't post the answer's obviously, but it is possible. One's people have reuploaded to Photobucket seem to be immune to googling.

3. Flash Gordon

6. Road to Perdition?
9. Mrs Doubtfire

delbertgrady · 11-06-2013 01:13PM

1. Ten Little Indians
4. Gold (Susannah York is very popular on this thread!)

delbertgrady · 11-06-2013 01:16PM

I have the link!

The films all feature people who appeared in one or more James Bond films.

:D:D

All correct.

Delbert is very close but needs to be more specific on the link.

7 Denholm Elliott in "Cuba"

Wichita Lineman · 11-06-2013 02:01PM

2,8,10 to go...........

delbertgrady · 11-06-2013 02:04PM

Is it that each film features TWO actors that appeared in Bond films?

The Denholm Elliott one is Cuba, with Sean Connery and Walter Gottell, both of whom were in several Bond films.
Topol and Max Von Sydow are both in Flash Gordon, and each were in a Bond film (if we count Never Say Never Again).
Ten Little Indians: Christopher Lee (uncredited) and Shirley Eaton.

No. Nothing to do with 2 or more actors in each or any Bond necessarily, although the Bond link is definitely on the right track. Cuba was already identified.

delbertgrady · 11-06-2013 02:28PM

It doesn't apply to all of them, but it does get even more coincidental, because both Yaphet Kotto (Live and Let Die) and Ursula Andress (Dr. No) are in 4 for Texas.

Anyway, 8 is Peter Sellers (Casino Royale) in Ghost in the Noonday Sun.

Yes. It is Stir Crazy. Well done.
Now that you've got one down, that might help you idenitfy the link.
It's in keeping with some of my earlier "link" groups.

Wichita Lineman · 11-06-2013 02:31PM

8. Ghost In The Noon Day Sun

is correct. Just goes to show how intertwined the movie business is.
