Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
A-24 is almost certainly Mad Max. It is not the James Bond franchise, as I had surmised -- I overlooked the part of the clue that said "or any other category."
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. -- Richard Feynman

Sunday Night Consolidation Game #159: The Screenplay’s the T
Updating with the latest answers - confirmed Strangers on the Train and The Scarlet Letter
Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Identify the 45 movies in List A and the 45 actors in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 58 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
Two movies will be used twice, one will be used three times, and two will be used five times. Six actors will be used twice, one will be used three times, and one will be used seven times.
There are a few relatively obscure movies in this game – some I wasn’t even aware of until I started researching – but they are a minority.
LIST A: MOVIES
A-1. ON THE WATERFRONT
A-2. BEN HUR
A-3. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
A-4. 8 MILE
A-5. STRANGERS ON A TRAIN
A-6. THE SCARLET LETTER
A-7. THE DIRTY DOZEN
A-8. This film contains one of the most iconic (I don’t use that word lightly) images of world cinema: an old man sitting on a park swing in the snow.
IKIRU
A-9. OF HUMAN BONDAGE
A-10. The six protagonists of this film – called "a celebration of reading" by Roger Ebert – are all modeled on characters created by the same early 19th century novelist.
A-11. “He’s young, good-looking – ”
“He can’t dance for sure.”
“He can't dance for s**t, but that is teachable.”
A-12. BLACK CHRISTMAS
A-13. THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
A-14. FLIPPER'S NEW ADVENTURE
A-15. “You deliberately seduced him! You seduced his mind with your awful, tasteless, empty sauces! With your pitiful little squashed bits of garlic!”
“That is called subtlety of flavor. ”
“It's called meanness of spirit! If you have a spice, use it! Don't sprinkle it. Spoon it in! “
A-16. THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
A-17. THE ROARING TWENTIES
A-18. DEATHTRAP
A-19. THE HUNGER GAMES
A-20. VALKYRIE
A-21. “Now, I have no right in telling this to you. It's dangerous for you and it's dangerous for them, but I'm sorry, I just couldn't stop myself. You can do what you want to, you can tell your dad, anything, I don't care. I just needed you to know... I don't know what I'm doing, and I love you.”
A-22. THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
A-23. “Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead.”
A-24. It took 36 years for any entry in the franchise that began with this movie to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture – or anything else.
MAD MAX
A-25. DOG DAY AFTERNOON
A-26. QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
A-27. THE NAKED GUN

THE DEPARTED?
How about HUGO?
A-35. “As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight. You breathe. Keep breathing. When there is a storm and you stand in front of a tree, if you look at its branches, you swear it will fall. But if you watch the trunk, you will see its stability.”
A-36. ON THE TOWN
A-37. “You see it, God. You see it. The innocent child's death, and my revenge. You allowed it. I don't understand You. I don't understand You. Yet, I still ask your forgiveness. I know no other way to live. I promise You, God... here on the dead body of my only child, I promise you that, to cleanse my sins, here I shall build a church. On this spot. Of mortar and stone... and with these, my hands.”
A-38. This acclaimed film was based on an unpublished autobiographical novel by a drug addict and career thief who was in prison at the time of the film’s release.

Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, successful. We are now on the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips. There is one obstacle - Silicon Valley in San Francisco.”
CHRISTOPHER WALKEN
B-6. WALTER PIDGEON
B-7. “You call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. You owe me awe!”
B-8. NORMA SHEARER

Then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do, move on. So after awhile they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys’ home. I figured it out too late. You gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask.”
B-28. TOBY STEPHENS
B-29. “I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry. You will someday.”

Everything on this consolidation that has more than one choice now includes the correct choice.
Every single answer on this consolidation with a question mark is correct except one. A consideration of dates should reveal which one is wrong.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
OK - this has to be the wrong question mark.
Captain Blood was a Warner Brothers movie (and IIRC, the first pairing of Errol Flynn and Olivia deHaviland), so it means that it's not a United Artists release.
A-40. This prototypical swashbuckler was the first film released by United Artists.
CAPTAIN BLOOD?
Because Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., was one of the founding partners of United Artists, I am pretty sure that would be the swashbuckler involved.
So we're probably looking for Mark of Zorro or Three Musketeers or something like that.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Based on what Frank said, I am taking out Captain Blood and the clues for the other single answers with question marks. Also, HUGO is the right Scorcese film.
Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Identify the 45 movies in List A and the 45 actors in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 58 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
Two movies will be used twice, one will be used three times, and two will be used five times. Six actors will be used twice, one will be used three times, and one will be used seven times.
There are a few relatively obscure movies in this game – some I wasn’t even aware of until I started researching – but they are a minority.

A-15. “You deliberately seduced him! You seduced his mind with your awful, tasteless, empty sauces! With your pitiful little squashed bits of garlic!”
“That is called subtlety of flavor. ”

A-37. “You see it, God. You see it. The innocent child's death, and my revenge. You allowed it. I don't understand You. I don't understand You. Yet, I still ask your forgiveness. I know no other way to live. I promise You, God... here on the dead body of my only child, I promise you that, to cleanse my sins, here I shall build a church. On this spot.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
I think I've got it, and it's Shakespeare.
I noticed that a lot of the actors in List B were classically trained and I know a lot of them have played in Shakespearean films (and it's not hard to guess that some of others probably did too). Then I looked at the actors you wouldn't associate with Shakespeare. Mickey Rooney was in Midsummer Night's Dream with James Cagney. Nathan Fillion was in Much Ado about Nothing and Keanu Reaves was in an earlier version of the same film. Mel Gibson played Macbeth. Olivia Hussey was the star of Black Christmas and her breakout role was the 60's Romeo and Juliet.
What clinched it was Jet Li. I did look up his filmography, because I wondered if he had done some Chinese language version of Shakespeare. Lo and behold, he appeared in a very very very loose version of Romeo and Juliet called Romeo Must Die and his costar was Aaliyah, who was in Queen of the Damned. Similarly, Howard Keel was in Kiss Me Kate, which was based on Taming of the Shrew. Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) was in 10 Things I Hate About You, which was also based on Taming of the Shrew. I don't have much more time to work on this tonight, and I don't just want to start looking things up wholesale, but I'm sure the matches will come pretty quickly.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
One full and a couple of partials:
Jessica Lange was in A Thousand Acres, which was an updated version of King Lear, with Jason Robards (Something Wicked).
Jon FInch was in Roman Polanski's Macbeth.
Al Pacino (Dog Day Afternoon) did Merchant of Venice.
And John Gielgud did the 50's Julius Caesar with Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront). Jason Robards was in the 70s Julius Caesar as well, so that's another possible match for him.
And Gielgud also made a film called Prospero's Books, which was a take on the Tempest.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
I think we need to clean up the rest of the movies and actors. I need to do some deadline writing this afternoon – and I know we have actors and movies that are obvious but unmatched. Mifune, Jean Simmons, Rebecca with that Olivier guy. So NOT as complete as I would like. I'll get back to this when i can.
Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Identify the 45 movies in List A and the 45 actors in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 58 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
Two movies will be used twice, one will be used three times, and two will be used five times. Six actors will be used twice, one will be used three times, and one will be used seven times.
There are a few relatively obscure movies in this game – some I wasn’t even aware of until I started researching – but they are a minority.

Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Identify the 45 movies in List A and the 45 actors in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 58 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
Two movies will be used twice, one will be used three times, and two will be used five times. Six actors will be used twice, one will be used three times, and one will be used seven times.
There are a few relatively obscure movies in this game – some I wasn’t even aware of until I started researching – but they are a minority.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Kennehth Branagh was in Valkyrie, so that's a link with Keanu Reaves in Much Ado about Nothing and probably other films since Branagh had several big name Shakesperean works including Hamlet and Henry V.
Reaves was also in My Own Private Idaho with River Phoenix, a play that's based on Henry IV, so there's probably a Phoenix movie somewhere.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
According to Geni.com, " Charles, Prince of Wales is Ralph Nathaniel Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes' 8th cousin." So B-40 is Joseph Fiennes, and Ralph Fiennes must be B-7, B-23 or B-27.franktangredi wrote:B-40. He is an eighth cousin of the Prince of Wales and the younger brother of an actor in one of the preceding clues.]
Joseph starred in Shakespeare in Love, of course, and (looking up in IMDB) he also did The Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons.

I don't think the math works. It looks like this results in 57 movies and 59 actors. --Bobfranktangredi wrote:Identify the 45 movies in List A and the 45 actors in List B.

You are correct. THREE movies will be used twice and FIVE actors will be used twice. Sorry about that. I think that was the result of a last-minute switch.Bob78164 wrote:I don't think the math works.

Re: Game #159: The Screenplay’s the Thing
Filling in the blanks. Consolidation will come between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
A-10. The six protagonists of this film – called "a celebration of reading" by Roger Ebert – are all modeled on characters created by the same early 19th century novelist.
THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB
A-15. “You deliberately seduced him! You seduced his mind with your awful, tasteless, empty sauces! With your pitiful little squashed bits of garlic!”
“That is called subtlety of flavor. ”
“It's called meanness of spirit! If you have a spice, use it! Don't sprinkle it. Spoon it in! “
THE HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY
A-21. “Now, I have no right in telling this to you. It's dangerous for you and it's dangerous for them, but I'm sorry, I just couldn't stop myself. You can do what you want to, you can tell your dad, anything, I don't care. I just needed you to know... I don't know what I'm doing, and I love you.”
RUNNING ON EMPTY -- And there's the River Phoenix movie
A-23. “Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead.”
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
A-35. “As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight. You breathe. Keep breathing. When there is a storm and you stand in front of a tree, if you look at its branches, you swear it will fall. But if you watch the trunk, you will see its stability.”
THE REVENANT
A-37. “You see it, God. You see it. The innocent child's death, and my revenge. You allowed it. I don't understand You. I don't understand You. Yet, I still ask your forgiveness. I know no other way to live. I promise You, God... here on the dead body of my only child, I promise you that, to cleanse my sins, here I shall build a church. On this spot. Of mortar and stone... and with these, my hands.”
THE VIRGIN SPRING
B-7. “You call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. You owe me awe!”
RALPH FIENNES
B-23. “No, no, no. I'm not gonna be that guy. You know, the ‘biological father, who I see on the weekends, and I make small talk with him while he drives me places and buys me shit.’ No.”
ETHAN HAWKE
B-27. “Not a lot of people know what it feels like to be angry, in your bones. I mean, they understand, foster parents, everybody understands, for awhile. Then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do, move on. So after awhile they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys’ home. I figured it out too late. You gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask.”
