89. Zero Mostel demanded director approval on this film, but it’s doubtful that he really expected to get any of his first three choices – Orson Welles, Charles Chaplin, and Jean Renoir.

I double checked this one to be sure. This is LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, which is the original Swedish film. The American remake is called LET ME IN, and the same exchange occurs but is a little shorter in the American version.

I don't see any promising matches to the Swedish actors in this film, but the director Tomas Alfredson also directed Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. A more promising match possibility is the words "The Right One," which could match with part of a title of another film.

[kroxquo]

Here's a thought:

24. This Is Spinal Tap + 39. Beginning of the End =This Is the End

I can't find a connection to This Is the End, but maybe in one of the unanswered ones?

[mrkelley23]

71. is THE DISASTER ARTIST

For 73, I remember two movies about Christopher Columbus coming out at about the same time in the early 90s. According to sources, the first to be released was CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS: THE DISCOVERY.

86. is A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

87. is definitely LENNY

[silverscreenselect]

Here's a thought:

24. This Is Spinal Tap + 39. Beginning of the End =This Is the End

I can't find a connection to This Is the End, but maybe in one of the unanswered ones?

Movies like Gandhi and Ishtar don't form the names of other films, but perhaps the third movie in the triple has an actor who is in one of the titles made by combining two other films.

Assuming Mr. K is right about The Disaster Artist, then that is the link to This Is the End I was looking for. James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride were all in both.

69. Lion tamer Clyde Beatty and big game hunter Frank Buck appeared as themselves in this Abbott and Costello comedy.

AFRICA SCREAMS. Saw it not long ago on Svengoolie.

I think you've got part of it at least

INTO THE WILD + PANIC IN THE STREETS = WILD IN THE STREETS

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER + CLASH OF THE TITANS = REMEMBER THE TITANS

THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION + EXTREME PREJUDICE = PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET + MUSKETEERS OF PIG ALLEY = NIGHTMARE ALLEY

THE PRINCESS DIARIES + BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN = THE PRINCESS BRIDE

GOODBYE MR. CHIPS + CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS = GOODBYE COLUMBUS

CALIFORNIA SPLIT + EXECUTIVE SUITE = CALIFORNIA SUITE

I'm not sure how a third film ties into these new titles however. Also, there are multiple well-known versions of both Nightmare Alley and Pride and Prejudice.

I'm not sure how a third film ties into these new titles however. Also, there are multiple well-known versions of both Nightmare Alley and Pride and Prejudice.

I generally only spectate on these movie games, but is there a trio of actors who were in both the movie made from the two matches and another movie on the list? I thought Krox's theme guess went well with Frank's warning:

But beware of combinations that seem to work as singles or pairs but not as triples.

[kroxquo]

How about this?

THE PRINCESS DIARIES + BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN = THE PRINCESS BRIDE featuring Carol Kane who was in ISHTAR

[littlebeast13]

How about this?

THE PRINCESS DIARIES + BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN = THE PRINCESS BRIDE featuring Carol Kane who was in ISHTAR

Just offhand, I know Billy Crystal starred in When Harry Met Sally. Too many combinations for that to work...

If this were easy to research (or I knew more about movies) I'd help try to confirm this, but I still think your original hunch about actor trios appearing in two separate films is the way to go.

You are all definitely on the right track, but not quite in the right lane. Once you realize what they Tangredi actually is, things will come very easily.

Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.”

And when that day comes when you start trying to be my hero collaborator so hard that I have to slap you to shut up – and it will come, despite your pitiable, misguided, Irish Omertà – when your code of silence finally gives way to fear of trafficking in cigarettes to prevent sexual enslavement, I just want you to know that it's gonna be me who told you to go f**k yourself.”

You live in my house, feed your belly with my food, put your behind on my bed because you're my son. It's my duty to take care of you, I owe a responsibility to you, I ain't got to like you!”

I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.”

31. The director of this documentary was so stressed out by the director of the film he was documenting that he wrote in his diary, " I couldn't care less if they move the stupid ship – or finish the f**king film".
LES BLANK

Les Blank is actually the director of this movie, whose title is BURDEN OF DREAMS.

And that matches with Lillies of the Field for Field of Dreams.

[silverscreenselect]

A thought here: 62. Before Sunset + 35. Boulevard Dreams = SUNSET BOULEVARD, which featured Erich von Stroheim, who directed 99. Greed.

A thought here: Before Sunset + Boulevard Dreams = SUNSET BOULEVARD, which featured Erich von Stroheim, who directed Greed.

I think I'm onto something here but I haven't quite figured it out. Some of these movies were directed by people with extensive acting careers: Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Bradley Cooper, Richard Attenborough, Rob Reiner. But some of the portmanteau films don't work that way. Wild in the Streets was directed by Barry Shear, who has no acting credits. Field of Dreams was directed by Phil Alden Robinson who also has no acting credits. I might be wrong about Wild in the Streets being a mash-up film, but I have to be right about Field of Dreams.
