One more movie. This was driving me crazy because I knew I had to know it.

B-26. Often considered the unofficial precursor to a movie made five years later, this film was directed by the same man who, 22 years later, would also direct a musical remake of the second movie.

I am thinking it's WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD, which has a plot similar to A Star Is Born. George Cukor directed the Judy Garland version of that and I am pretty sure he directed What Price Hollywood.


That gives us:

21) B-26. WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD? + A-3. MORGAN FREEMAN + A-51. VICTOR McLAGLEN = WHAT PRICE GLORY?

I am stymied by the movies we haven't gotten yet.

Also, we don't need A-8 to be Jamie Lee Curtis to get Perfect/Mortal Storm/Perfect Storm, because John Travolta was in Perfect, too.
Although John Travolta was in Perfect, he isn't one of the answers. The Pulp Fiction quote was by Samuel L. Jackson, not Travolta.

no, the Pulp Fiction quote was DEFINITELY from Vincent.

Here's another partial

A MIGHTY ??? + Ed Begley, Jr. + Cliff Robertson = A Mighty Wind

THe only other "mighty" movie I can think of is A Mighty Heart and none of the remaining clues seem to fit it.

Diane Keaton has to go with "Knocked Up" to give "Hanging Up".

B-12 is Zero Hour, whose dialogue and storyline were skewered in AIrplane, which gives the Rush Hour connection.

Except that for this and Knocked/Hanging Up to work, you would need to have movies called "Shift" and "Hanging" and I can't find any record of even an obscure film with either of those titles.

If Ed Harris is here for Swing Shift, then B-38 would be Swing Vote.

Because we have Swing Shift/Vote + A-50. Chloe Sevigny + A-28. Robert Sean Leonard = Swing Kids

I don't think Swing Vote is an answer since it violates the unwritten role about citing upcoming movies (i.e., an upcoming film might never be released or it might be released under a different title, etc.)

However Swing Shift + Kids = Swing Kids does work and that solves all the problems (except what B-38 actually is).

One more, I think

B-16. For her performance of a First Lady in this movie, one of the actresses in List A earned a Golden Turkey nomination for Worst Portrayal of a Historical Figure.

I am betting this is MAGNIFICENT DOLL, with Ginger Rogers as Dolley Madison (!).

That could give us B-16 + A-38. Cliff Robertson + A-2. Rock Hudson = Magnificent Obsession.

I keep thinking that Shirley Temple is on the list for Little Miss Marker, which can transform into Little Miss Sunshine. There have been two recent films called Sunshine (the science fiction film and the Ralph Fiennes historical drama) but I can't make either of them work and I can't fit any of the remaining clues for Little Miss Sunshine.

There have been two recent films called Sunshine (the science fiction film and the Ralph Fiennes historical drama) but I can't make either of them work and I can't fit any of the remaining clues for Little Miss Sunshine.
I was thinking that Shirley Temple could also be there for Honeymoon, but I haven't really worked on that.

Scratch that line of thinking. For this to work, Little Miss Marker would have to be one of the film titles and actors from Sunshine and Little Miss Sunshine would have to appear on the actor list. I got it backwads (it would have been a good one though).

One more

B-28. Directed by one-half of a famous comedy team, it starred the director’s daughter and one of the actors in List A.

This has to be original version of The Heartbreak Kid. Directed by Elaine May, starring her daughter Jeannie Berlin & Charles Grodin.

It also gives us:

B-28.The Heartbreak Kid + A-4. Gloria Grahame + A-65. Humphrey Bogart = The Oklahoma Kid

I am looking at one-word titles - Could Ursala Andress be here for SHE?

could be, since IIRC Ed Begley was in "She Devil".
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

And gee, if you IMDB Bwana Devil, you get "a lion in your lap" as the tagline.

That gives us one more:

B-30. Bwana Devil + A-62. Ursula Andress + A-13. Ed Begley, Jr. = She Devil

I always thought A Lion in Your Lap, A Lover in Your Arms was one of the best known movie taglines. It referred to the chief appeal of that movie: 3-D.
