the68monkey wrote:Well she's not in the screengrab there, but she is the female lead of the film. If you know your westerns, you could think about which one has a beautiful and shapely Italian actress as the lead. She's internationally famous, and looks like hers aren't commonplace. I'm guessing she'd probably be around sixty-something now?

I guess I don't who is she?

LOL no. It costs between £150-300 depending if you go OEM or Retail and where you source it from.

There's no way Microsoft will ever throw Office in for FREE. You're thinking of Wordpad as far as a Word Processor goes. That's free and rubbish at that.

The majority of Windows uses have a version installed but it didn't come with Windows I know that much.

There is an Apple Mac version of Office but obviously MS don't spend as much time on it as they do the Windows version and you can get free PC software which is as good if you don't want to install Microsoft Office (Open Office for example). This can open Office documents (except I think for Access Databases) but I can't believe it's 100% compatible.

I still can't work out the formatting for number 69 Kill Bill: Vol 1???

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 09 Jul 2006, 11:27

@Brad:

Nope, coz it's NOT Kill Bill 1.

It's the other one.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Jul 2006, 11:40

Brad the female lead of the film in Screengrab 12 is Claudia Cardinale

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Jul 2006, 11:56

Thanks Grim. I see what Bobbi was saying there's, "something" about Italian actresses that I can't put my finger on.

"If you're not English, you're a foreigner - so you must be sexy. it's an old British cliche."

Thanks. The formatting is stupid you have to include the full stop.

Well, there's a rather famous Scotsman in this film, too.

I didn't say that. I said her looks weren't commonplace. She has to be one of the most beautiful women . . . ever. Once you've seen her in Fellini's 8 1/2, you'll never forget her.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Jul 2006, 14:22

Well that's pretty much what I said

It does seem to defy logic, doesn't it?

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 09 Jul 2006, 20:36

Okay, so which ones next? Did anybody else have a difficult time with #66 before they realized what it was?

:shock:

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 09 Jul 2006, 21:38

Nos. 30, 35, 36, 37, 43, 46, 49, 54, 57, 59, 61, 66 and 67 are all I'll pester you with for the moment. There's a fair few more though

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 09 Jul 2006, 21:51

is sean connery in 226?

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 09 Jul 2006, 21:59

Yes. Yes, he is

Okay, the 50s:

#54 - Think aged apples and laws

#57 - A silent classic about a factory worker

#59 - What's that sitting in the tree?

Looks a bit foggy, too, no?

#61 - Zoom up to 400% for this one, then look closely at the people. What do they look like?

#66 - Don't be fooled into thinking that's a tall, grown man there. In fact, it's actually just a kid.

Now, back to those earlier titles:

#30 - Same director as #16, #78, #136, #157, #172, #186, and #199

#35 - Old Blue Eyes is in the version shown here, but it was remade not too long ago.

#36 - It's NOT the one with a primate in the title. It's virtually the same stateroom scene, but re-done for a later film.

#37 - Stars a British guy who got in trouble for having a prostitute in his car while in the U.S. many years ago.

#43 - Title is somewhat similar to a song sung by three little porkers.

#46 - Can't really give any more clues than I already did.

But the star of the film only made this film, plus many sequels. That's it.

#49 - weird film about a videotape and a new identity. One of female actresses from the film now pretends to be a psychic working for the police.

Also, for #66 (which was a MAJOR source of frustration for me!), if you'd like to see another shot from that same location that pretty much gives the film away, look here: https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... key/66.jpg

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 09 Jul 2006, 23:01

OK, got Nos. 54, 59 and 61 with those clues

.
Your clue for No. 66 was enough for me

. Your uploaded picture was just confirmation

Unless I use imdb or something for it, I'm not gonna get No. 30. I know a fair number of the films made by the recluse, but obviously not enough

Haven't seen many of the films with the singer and cigar chomping fella, so I'm a little stuck with them.
Got #37 and #43 (good clue for that last one

), but #46 and #49 are a little beyond me at the moment...

I don't have a Scooby Doo where that one comes from. I'm only up to 102 in even looking, it takes so flipping long.

For #35, a remake was done two years ago starring Denzel Washington.

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 10 Jul 2006, 18:24

Anyone need help on a new batch?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Jul 2006, 18:55

What are:

11
15
17
24
30
265
269
270

I'm amazed I didnt get 295 earlier, its easy!

But I solved what 255 was now

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 10 Jul 2006, 19:18

Okay:
#11 - a magical touch

#15 - the kid at the bottom is a prolific child actor who is also featured in #273

#17 - Classic film with same actor who's in #47

#24 - Grim, I'm sure you know this one. Just leave off the first part of the title and only enter the second part.

#30 - see the clues written earlier in this thread.

#265 - Spanish-language film

#269 - That's one of the greatest actors who ever lived on the left. He passed away a couple of years ago.

#270 - I had to get a clue from Kurgan for this one, and it's posted earlier in this thread. How about another screenshot with same actors: https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... ey/270.jpg

Remember, NO TITLES! Just clues.

I'm taking off for awhile now. I'll check in later. Good luck!

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 10 Jul 2006, 19:43

OK, whilst I don't have most of the others I've posted in this thread earlier, I'll move on to the ones missing in the 70s: 71, 72, 74 and 79.

Help me, Miss Monkey, you're my only hope. Of course, that's dependent on your level of sobriety

ewmph, wait a sec. . .

Blehpth. . . pth. That's better. brushteeth

Now, where were we? Oh yes:

#71 - I can't tell you that. It's of the highest security level.

#72 - Oh, come on! Have you never seen a film with that actor who got caught with a prostitute in his car?

#74 - You'll have to ask Tom about this one. I couldn't have gotten it without his help (at the beginning of this thread).

#79 - This film has the world's most incredible assassin in it.
