[franktangredi]

As always happens with subjective matches, there are a number of alternative matches that are legitimate. So just keep going till you've used everything.

As always happens with subjective matches, there are a number of alternative matches that are legitimate. So just keep going till you've used everything.

As far as I can tell, we have two possible matches for Cabin in the Woods - Camp and Forest.

SO, may I suggest this....


11. BENJI directed by Joe CAMP, goes with 72. THE CABIN IN THE WOODS

42. WAITING TO EXHALE directed by FOREST Whitaker, goes with 58. GREEN Pastures

[mellytu74]

Some director names for remaining films:

18. SWEET HEREAFTER - Atom Egoyan
28. THE HOWLING - Joe Dante
31. THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES - Penelope Spheeris
36. ISHTAR - Elaine May

[silverscreenselect]

42. WAITING TO EXHALE directed by FOREST Whitaker, goes with 58. GREEN Pastures

Actually, Little Children was directed by Todd Field and that goes with Green Pastures.

87. is probably APOCALYPTO, directed by Mel Gibson.

[mellytu74]

GIBSON goes with COCKTAIL

[jarnon]

Some errata:

F. Gary Gray can't go with Anatomy of a Murder because that uses Gray as a proper noun. He really goes with Black and White in Color. Which means James Ivory has to go with The Elephant Man.

A flute doesn't have a reed.

[silverscreenselect]

I think you've got a couple mixed up here.

A Room with a view (James Ivory) goes with Black and White in Color
Straight Outta Compton (F. Gary Gray) goes with Anatomy of a Murder.

[silverscreenselect]

Saw was directed by James Wan which goes with Pale Rider.

[jarnon]

18. SWEET HEREAFTER directed by Atom Egoyan goes with 63. MADAME CURIE

36. ISHTAR directed by Elaine May goes with 68. SPRING BREAKERS

56. THE STING directed by George Roy Hill goes with 9. JACK AND JILL

[jarnon]

40. “A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess' soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning.”

[mellytu74]

Isn't Crash directed by Paul Haggis? Goes with Brigadoon

[mellytu74]

I can't look it up now but is A Hare Grows in Manhattan dorected by Bob Clampett?

That would give us a Beverly Hillbillies matcj.

[kroxquo]

Nice Thought, but this one was Friz Freling.

[silverscreenselect]

Possibles:

The Brave One was directed by Irving Rapper, could go with Straight Outta Compton
Meshes in the Afternoon, directed by Maya Deren, could go with Apocalypto

[silverscreenselect]

99. A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS directed by Sergio Leone goes with 33. THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS

How does Sergio Leone go with The Ghost and the Darkness?

[mellytu74]

Possibles:

Meshes in the Afternoon, directed by Maya Deren, could go with Apocalypto

Frank said #87 a as used twice, so Maya could work.

[jarnon]

99. A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS directed by Sergio Leone goes with 33. THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS

How does Sergio Leone go with The Ghost and the Darkness?

Un leone

The Ghost and the Darkness

[franktangredi]

99. A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS directed by Sergio Leone goes with 33. THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS

How does Sergio Leone go with The Ghost and the Darkness?

Un leone

The Ghost and the Darkness

Heh heh heh.

[silverscreenselect]

The Brave One refers to the bull in the movie, so that would match with Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth).

[silverscreenselect]

This could be a match. One of the major cruise lines is Holland America, so we could match Savage Steve Holland (Better Off Dead) with Cruising.

[jarnon]

“Shine” directed by Scott Hicks, goes with “The Beverly Hillbillies.”

Some films have to match Forest Whitaker and Berry Gordy (Mahogany).
