Re: Game #200: Action Movies
Of the definite, four are wrong. (In one case, looking at the dates in the clue will give away that it's wrong ... but the wrong answer is not irrelevant.)
Of the ones with a question mark, only two are wrong.
Of the ones with alternative answers, two contain the right answer. (In one case, either alternative actually works in the solution.) One does not contain the right answer - but one of the wrong answers would still work in the solution.
As for which Cheech and Chong movie - it doesn't really matter.

Did you think these people made a plan to sleep in the sports hall with you? But here we are now, sleeping together on the floor. So, there's no need for a plan. You can't go wrong with no plans. We don't need to make a plan for anything. It doesn't matter what will happen next. Even if the country gets destroyed or sold out, nobody cares. Got it?”

Re: Game #200: Action Movies
I was uneasy about this one before Frank's comment, and that clinched it. Bobby Vinton recorded Blue Velvet in 1963, but the movie came out 20 years later. Even with my knowledge of B-movies, I hadn't heard of this one and, I found out with good reason. (Yes, I cheated, but I have a feeling no one would have picked up on it.) It's a 28-minute short called SCORPIO RISING, and Blue Velvet appears on the soundtrack. From the IMDB description: "An army of gay/nazi bikers make their engines roar and ride the way to pain/pleasure as sexual and sadistic symbols are intercut into the dazing chaos and rhythmic experiences of this underground film by cult director [Kenneth] Anger."
From Frank's comment about Cheech & Chong it would appear that one half of the link is actors in a particular movie and that their film links to another one in which one or both of them appear (more likely Cheech since he's had a wider solo career). I would guess that the other half had to do with the title of the film. There are a few "Rising" movies, including Rising Sun (with Sean Connery from The Rock and Dr. No), Deep Rising, Mercury Rising, and Hannibal Rising. There's only been one other "Scorpio" movie I know of, the 1970s Burt Lancaster movie. Of course, that may not mean anything.

Re: Game #200: Action Movies
The idea of "Rising" may tie into the title - Action Movies. Maybe we are looking for movies with verbs like Scorpio Rising, Raising Arizona, The Shipping News, etc.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 7:50 amI was uneasy about this one before Frank's comment, and that clinched it.

Re: Game #200: Action Movies
I thought that "action" words might be a key to the link, especially when I figured out Scorpio Rising. But while there are a few other titles that have action words in them like Running Scared, it certainly doesn't seem to be enough to come up with 50 matches, especially if, as I suspect, the other half of the link in an actor in an as-yet unknown film derived from the title.franktangredi wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:23 amMaybe I should have left that exclamation mark in the game title.

Frank's clue led me to think of the director yelling "Action!" before the start of a scene. I know there was a past game where the Tangredi was the first lines of popular songs, but that doesn't seem possible here. Still, just throwing it out there...

27. This film – whose title translates as Song of the Little Road – did for it’s country’s cinema what Rashomon did for Japan’s.
PATHER PANCHALI
28. “We should have stuck with the old ways. Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that?”
“Humans are our cattle.”
“Humans are our prey. We should feed on them, like we've always done. Screw all this ‘channel your energies’ crap.”
THE HOWLING
42. “I give you eleven f**king years of my life and you're telling me you're leaving me for a white woman?”
“Would it help if she was black?”
“No. It would help if you were black.”
WAITING TO EXHALE

Somebody has already had the most important insight. You just have to apply it and I guarantee you'll spot the Tangredi before you get more than a dozen movies deep.
Then you'll still have fun making the matches.

Re: Game #200: Action Movies
This makes me think that Lb's comment about "Action!" referring to directors has something to do with this. However, Frank's comment about Cheech and Chong would indicate that the other half of the match has something to do with the cast, and that either Cheech or Chong had appeared in another film that somehow is the basis for the link. The link can't be simply another movie directed by the same person, since, on the one hand, prolific directors like Clint Eastwood would probably match with dozens of these other movies. And I can't see how Scorpio Rising or RBG would fit, since they were both directed by people who had no other feature films to their credit and they have no casts either.franktangredi wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 7:41 amSomebody has already had the most important insight.

And, while Scorpio Rising might be on the list for its title, since there are other "Scorpio" and "Rising" movies, I don't see how you can work "RBG" into the name of another title.

Re: Game #200: Action Movies
Let me clear that up since I think I misled you unintentionally. It indeed doesn't matter which Cheech and Chong movie you use. But it's for a reason that has nothing to do with the casts of the movies. It's a special case.

I didn't know this but Tommy Chong directed five Cheech and Chong movies, which would indicate that the link has to do with him as director. It's possible that the link might be to another film in which he appeared as an actor.franktangredi wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 11:49 amLet me clear that up since I think I misled you unintentionally.

John Huston directed Moby Dick and appeared in Chinatown.
Dennis Hopper directed Easy Rider and appeared in Speed.
Quentin Tarantino directed Hateful Eight and appeared in From Dusk Till Dawn
John Waters (Polyester) has appeared in a number of movies, as has Martin Scorsese (The Color of Money).
I don't see how that would work with Scorpio Rising or RBG though.
